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
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
95
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
96
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
97
98
TESTING:
99
100
101
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
102
======================
103
104
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
105
in bzrlib/remote.py.
106
107
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
108
======================
109
110
CHANGES:
111
112
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
113
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
114
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
115
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
116
(Martin Pool)
117
118
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
119
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
120
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
121
(Ian Clatworthy)
122
123
FEATURES:
124
125
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
126
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
127
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
128
(Lukáš Lalinský)
129
130
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
131
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
132
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
133
134
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
135
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
136
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
137
138
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
139
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
140
141
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
142
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
143
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
144
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
145
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
146
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
147
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
148
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
149
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
150
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
151
152
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
153
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
154
155
BUG FIXES:
156
157
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
158
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
159
160
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
161
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
162
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
163
164
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
165
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
166
167
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
168
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
169
170
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
171
(Aaron Bentley)
172
173
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
174
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
175
176
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
177
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
178
179
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
180
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
181
182
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
183
(Blake Winton, #129299)
184
185
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
186
187
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
188
Watkins, #106726)
189
190
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
191
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
192
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
193
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
194
195
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
196
197
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
198
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
199
#133548)
200
201
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
202
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
203
204
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
205
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
206
#116143)
207
208
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
209
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
210
211
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
212
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
213
214
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
215
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
216
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
217
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
218
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
219
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
220
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
221
222
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
223
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
224
225
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
226
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
227
228
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
229
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
230
231
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
233
234
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
235
connections.
236
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
237
238
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
239
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
240
241
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
242
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
243
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
244
245
IMPROVEMENTS:
246
247
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
248
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
249
250
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
251
(Aaron Bentley)
252
253
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
254
(Aaron Bentley)
255
256
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
257
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
258
259
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
260
261
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
262
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
263
264
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
265
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
266
267
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
268
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
269
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
270
space). (Robert Collins)
271
272
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
273
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
274
(Ian Clatworthy)
275
276
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
277
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
278
279
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
280
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
281
282
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
283
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
284
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
285
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
286
287
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
288
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
289
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
290
(Lukáš Lalinský)
291
292
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
293
(Ian Clatworthy)
294
295
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
296
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
297
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
298
299
API BREAKS:
300
301
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
302
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
303
304
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
305
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
306
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
307
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
308
affected. (Robert Collins)
309
310
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
311
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
312
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
313
(Robert Collins)
314
315
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
316
previous release. (Martin Pool)
317
318
TESTING:
319
320
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
321
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
322
323
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
324
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
325
326
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
327
previous release. (Martin Pool)
328
329
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
330
(Aaron Bentley)
331
332
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
333
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
334
335
INTERNALS:
336
337
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
338
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
339
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
340
its version information. (Robert Collins)
341
342
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
343
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
344
345
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
346
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
347
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
348
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
349
350
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
351
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
352
present. (Robert Collins)
353
354
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
355
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
356
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
357
API. (Robert Collins)
358
359
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
360
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
361
(Robert Collins)
362
363
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
364
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
365
366
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
367
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
368
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
369
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
370
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
371
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
372
373
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
374
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
375
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
376
377
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
378
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
379
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
380
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
381
protocol.
382
383
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
384
(Aaron Bentley)
385
386
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
387
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
388
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
389
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
390
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
391
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
392
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
393
394
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
395
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
396
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
397
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
398
399
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
400
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
401
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
402
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
403
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
404
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
405
406
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
407
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
408
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
409
410
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
411
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
412
413
414
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
415
===================
416
417
IMPROVEMENTS:
418
419
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
420
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
421
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
422
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
423
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
424
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
425
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
426
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
427
428
429
API CHANGES:
430
431
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
432
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
433
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
434
435
436
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
437
======================
438
439
BUGFIXES:
440
441
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
442
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
443
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
444
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
445
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
446
447
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
449
450
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
451
anymore.
452
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
453
454
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
455
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
456
(Vincent Ladeuil)
457
458
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
459
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
460
#111664)
461
462
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
463
(Lukáš Lalinský)
464
465
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
466
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
467
468
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
469
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
470
471
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
472
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
473
474
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
475
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
476
477
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
478
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
479
480
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
481
(Aaron Bentley)
482
483
IMPROVEMENTS:
484
485
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
486
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
487
488
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
489
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
490
491
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
492
the repository (Robert Collins)
493
494
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
495
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
496
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
497
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
498
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
499
500
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
501
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
502
503
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
504
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
505
(John Arbash Meinel)
506
507
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
508
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
509
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
510
about 10%).
511
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
512
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
513
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
514
(John Arbash Meinel)
515
516
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
517
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
518
(Robert Collins)
519
520
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
521
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
522
523
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
524
(Ian Clatworthy)
525
526
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
527
528
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
529
530
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
531
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
532
533
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
534
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
535
Meinel)
536
537
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
538
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
539
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
540
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
541
542
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
543
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
544
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
545
546
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
547
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
548
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
549
550
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
551
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
552
553
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
554
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
555
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
556
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
557
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
558
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
559
(Ian Clatworthy)
560
561
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
562
(Alexander Belchenko)
563
564
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
565
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
566
567
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
568
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
569
570
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
571
572
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
573
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
574
575
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
576
577
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
578
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
579
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
580
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
581
582
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
583
584
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
585
(Robert Collins)
586
587
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
588
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
589
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
590
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
591
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
592
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
593
594
INTERNALS:
595
596
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
597
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
598
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
599
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
600
601
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
602
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
603
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
604
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
605
tests have been refactored too.
606
(Vincent Ladeuil)
607
608
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
609
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
610
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
611
list, it will.
612
(Vincent Ladeuil)
613
614
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
615
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
616
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
617
618
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
619
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
620
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
621
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
622
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
623
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
624
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
625
626
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
627
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
628
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
629
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
630
(John Arbash Meinel)
631
632
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
633
functionality for testing.
634
635
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
636
637
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
638
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
639
640
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
641
642
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
643
(Robert Collins)
644
645
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
646
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
647
648
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
649
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
650
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
651
652
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
653
(Aaron Bentley)
654
655
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
656
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
657
658
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
659
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
660
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
661
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
662
663
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
664
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
665
666
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
667
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
668
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
669
670
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
671
(Marius Kruger)
672
673
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
674
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
675
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
676
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
677
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
678
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
679
680
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
681
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
682
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
683
many files. (Robert Collins)
684
685
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
686
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
687
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
688
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
689
690
TESTING:
691
692
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
693
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
694
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
695
696
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
697
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
698
699
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
700
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
701
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

705
====================
706
707
BUGFIXES:

709
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
710
711
712
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
713
=======================
714
715
BUGFIXES:
716
717
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
718
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
719
720
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
721
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
722
(James Westby, #122656)
723
724
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
725
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
726
727
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
728
authentication header.
729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
730
731
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
732
733
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
734
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
735
736
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
737
738
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
740
741
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
742
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
743
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
744
745
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
746
individually and as part of revision ranges.
747
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
748
749
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
750
(Martin Pool, #109169)
751
752
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
754
755
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
756
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
757
758
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
759
760
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
761
762
IMPROVEMENTS:
763
764
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
765
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
766
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
767
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
768
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
769
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
770
771
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
772
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
773
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
774
775
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
776
(Elliot Murphy)
777
778
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
779
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
780
781
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
782
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
783
784
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
785
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
786
787
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
788
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
789
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
790
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
791
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
792
793
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
794
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
795
796
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
797
can be slow it is useful feedback).
798
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
799
800
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
801
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
802
803
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
804
805
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
806
output. (Aaron Bentley)
807
808
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
809
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
810
(Robert Collins)
811
812
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
813
(Martin Pool)
814
815
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
816
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
817
818
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
819
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
820
821
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
822
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
823
824
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
825
826
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
827
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
828
829
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
830
(Andrew Bennetts)
831
832
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
833
834
* Testing cleanups -
835
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
836
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
837
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
838
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
839
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
840
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
841
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
842
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
843
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
844
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
845
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
846
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
847
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
848
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
849
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
850
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
851
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
852
(Robert Collins)
853
854
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
855
856
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
857
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
858
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
859
860
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
861
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
862
863
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
864
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
865
866
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
867
868
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
869
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
870
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
871
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
872
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
873
same location. (Robert Collins)
874
875
INTERNALS:
876
877
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
878
879
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
880
881
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
882
883
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
884
(Martin Pool)
885
886
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
887
(Martin Pool)
888
889
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
890
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
891
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
892
893
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
894
895
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
896
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
897
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
898
899
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
900
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
901
902
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
903
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
904
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
905
906
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
907
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
908
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
909
910
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
911
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
912
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
913
914
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
915
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
916
Martin Pool)
917
918
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
919
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
920
921
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
922
(Alexander Belchenko)
923
924
TESTING:
925
926
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
927
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
928
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
929
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
930
931
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
932
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
933
testing. (Robert Collins)
934
935
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
936
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
937
938
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
939
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
940
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
941
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
942
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
943
attribute during the test parameterisation in
944
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
945
946
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
947
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
948
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
949
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
950
951
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
952
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
953
954
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
955
avoid useless cloning.

972
=======================
973
974
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
975
976
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
977
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
978
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
979
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
980
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
981
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
982
and unlock() like so::
983
984
work_tree.lock_read()
985
try:
986
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
987
finally:
988
work_tree.unlock()
989
990
INTERNALS:
991
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
992
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
993
object.
994
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
995
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
996
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
997
998
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
999
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1000
too. (Robert Collins)
1001
1002
IMPROVEMENTS:
1003
1004
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1005
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1006
Aaron Bentley)
1007
1008
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1009
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1010
1011
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1012
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1013
1014
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1015
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1016
understanding what changes have occurred
1017
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1018
1019
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1020
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1021
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1022
1023
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1024
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1025
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1026
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1027
1028
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1029
#56322)
1030
1031
BUGFIXES:
1032
1033
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1034
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1035
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1036
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1037
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1038
1039
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1040
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1041
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1042
1043
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1044
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1045
1046
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1047
into account.
1048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1049
1050
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1051
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1052
1053
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1054
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1055
1056
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1057
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1058
1059
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1060
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1061
1062
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1063
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1064
1065
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1066
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1067
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1068
1069
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
1070
====================
1071
1072
BUGFIXES:
1073
1074
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1075
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1076
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1077
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1078
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1079
1080
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1081
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1082
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1083
1084
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1085
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1086
1087
IMPROVEMENTS:
1088
1089
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1090
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1091
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1092
1093
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1094
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1095
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1096
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1097
1098
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1099
=======================
1100
1101
BUGFIXES:
1102
1103
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1104
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1105
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1106
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1107
1108
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1109
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1110
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1111
1112
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1113
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1114
1115
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1116
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1117
1118
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1119
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1120
1121
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1122
=======================
1123
1124
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1125
1126
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1127
it could be recovered again.
1128
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1129
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1130
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1131
but not delete it.
1132
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1133
files.
1134
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1135
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1136
1137
IMPROVEMENTS:
1138
1139
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1140
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1141
1142
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1143
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1144
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1145
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1146
1147
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1148
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1149
1150
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1151
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1152
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1153
1154
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1155
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1156
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1157
1158
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1159
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1160
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1161
1162
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1163
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1164
Robert Collins)
1165
1166
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1167
Pool)
1168
1169
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1170
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1171
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1172
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1173
1174
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1175
(Robert Collins)
1176
1177
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1178
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1179
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1180
(Robert Collins)
1181
1182
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1183
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1184
1185
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1186
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1187
1188
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1189
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1190
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1191
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1192
(Robert Collins)
1193
1194
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1195
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1196
1197
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1198
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1199
1200
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1201
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1202
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1203
1204
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1205
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1206
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1207
1208
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1209
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1210
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1211
1212
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1213
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1214
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1215
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1216
1217
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1218
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1219
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1220
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1221
1222
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1223
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1224
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1225
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1226
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1227
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1228
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1229
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1230
header(s).
1231
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1232
1233
INTERNALS:
1234
1235
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1236
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1237
1238
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1239
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1240
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1241
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1242
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1243
1244
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1245
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1246
1247
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1248
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1249
1250
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1251
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1252
1253
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1254
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1255
1256
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1257
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1258
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1259
(Robert Collins).
1260
1261
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1262
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1263
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1264
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1265
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1266
(Robert Collins)
1267
1268
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1269
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1270
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1271
1272
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1273
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1274
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1275
1276
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1277
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1278
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1279
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1280
1281
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1282
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1283
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1284
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1285
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1286
1287
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1288
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1289
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1290
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1291
1292
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1293
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1294
1295
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1296
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1297
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1298
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1299
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1300
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1301
1302
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1303
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1304
1305
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1306
help. (Robert Collins)
1307
1308
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1309
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1310
1311
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1312
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1313
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1314
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1315
(John Arbash Meinel)
1316
1317
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1318
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1319
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1320
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1321
useful. (Robert Collins)
1322
1323
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1324
(Andrew Bennetts)
1325
1326
BUGFIXES:
1327
1328
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1329
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1330
1331
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1332
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1333
1334
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1335
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1336
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1337
1338
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1339
(Aaron Bentley)
1340
1341
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1342
the file, and does it faster.
1343
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1344
1345
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1346
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1347
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1348
1349
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1350
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1351
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1352
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1353
1354
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1355
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1356
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1357
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1358
1359
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1360
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1361
1362
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1363
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1364
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1365
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1366
Arbash Meinel)
1367
1368
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1369
1370
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1371
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1372
1373
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1374
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1375
1376
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1377
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1378
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1379
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1380
security hole.
1381
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1382
1383
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1385
1386
TESTING:
1387
1388
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1389
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1390
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1393
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1394
1395
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1396
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1397
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1398
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1399
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1400
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1401
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1402
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1403
1404
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1405
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1406
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1407
1408
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1409
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1410
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1411
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1412
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1413
access.
1414
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1415
1416
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1417
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1418
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1419
1420
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1421
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1422

1429
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1430
(Aaron Bentley)
1431
1432

1433
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

1437
=======================
1438
1439
CHANGES:
1440
1441
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1442
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1443
(Martin Pool)
1444
1445
IMPROVEMENTS:
1446
1447
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1448
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1449
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1450
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1451
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1452
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1453
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1454
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1455
path. (vila)
1456
1457
INTERNALS:
1458
1459
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1460
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1461
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1462
1463
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1464
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1465
(Martin Pool)
1466
1467
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1468
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1469
(John Arbash Meinel)
1470
1471
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1472
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1473
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1474
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1475
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1476
1477
BUGFIXES:
1478
1479
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1480
(vila, #92195)
1481
1482
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1483
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1484
1485
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1486
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1487
1488
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1489
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1490
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1491
1492
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1493
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1494
1495
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1496
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1497
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1498
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1499
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1500
1501
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1502
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1503
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1504
1505
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1509
=======================
1510
1511
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1512
1513
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1514
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1515
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1516
1517
IMPROVEMENTS:
1518
1519
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1520
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1521
1522
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1523
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1524
1525
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1526
1527
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1528
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1529
1530
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1531
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1532
1533
INTERNALS:
1534
1535
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1536
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1537
1538
BUGFIXES:
1539
1540
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1541
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1542
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1543
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1544
1545
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1546
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1547
1548
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1549
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1550
1551
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1552
(Marien Zwart)
1553
1554
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1555
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

1557
1558
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1559
=======================
1560
1561
SURPRISES:
1562
1563
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1564
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1565
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1566
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1567
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1568
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1569
1570
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1571
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1572
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1573
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1574
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1575
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1576
development.
1577
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1578
1579
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1580
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1581
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1582
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1583
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1584
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1585
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1586
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1587
1588
IMPROVEMENTS:
1589
1590
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1591
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1592
1593
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1594
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1595
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1596
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1597
does exist.
1598
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1599
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1600
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1601
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1602
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1603
1604
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1605
(Aaron Bentley)
1606
1607
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1608
(Aaron Bentley)
1609
1610
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1611
(Robert Collins)
1612
1613
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1614
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1615
(Aaron Bentley)
1616
1617
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1618
(Aaron Bentley)
1619
1620
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1621
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1622
1623
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1624
directory. (Martin Pool)
1625
1626
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1627
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1628
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1629
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1630
1631
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1632
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1633
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1634
in docs/configuration.txt.
1635
1636
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1637
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1638
bind location.
1639
1640
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1641
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1642
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1643
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1644
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1645
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1646
1647
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1648
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1649
1650
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1651
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1652
1653
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1654
(Aaron Bentley)
1655
1656
INTERNALS:
1657
1658
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1659
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1660
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1661
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1662
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1663
(John Arbash Meinel)
1664
1665
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1666
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1667
(Aaron Bentley)
1668
1669
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1670
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1671
(John Arbash Meinel)
1672
1673
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1674
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1675
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1676
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1677
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1678
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1679
1680
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1681
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1682
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1683
1684
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1685
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1686
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1687
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1688
repository.
1689
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1690
1691
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1692
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1693
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1694
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1695
1696
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1697
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1698
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1699
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1700
1701
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1702
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1703
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1704
1705
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1706
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1707
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1708
1709
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1710
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1711
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1712
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1713
1714
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1715
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1716
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1717
1718
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1719
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1720
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1721
1722
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1723
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1724
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1725
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1726
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1727
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1728
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1729
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1730
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1731
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1732
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1733
1734
BUGFIXES:
1735
1736
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1737
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1738
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1739
1740
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1741
(Aaron Bentley)
1742
1743
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1744
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1745
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1746
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1747
1748
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1749
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1750
#83954).
1751
1752
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1753
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1754
1755
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1756
1757
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1758
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1759
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1760
1761
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1762
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1763
1764
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1766
1767
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1769
1770
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1771
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1772
1773
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1774
1775
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1776
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1777
1778
TESTING:
1779
1780
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1781
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

====================
1786
1787
IMPROVEMENTS:
1788
1789
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1790
1791
BUG FIXES:
1792
1793
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1794
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1795
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1796
1797
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1798
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1799
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1802
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1803
=======================
1804
1805
IMPROVEMENTS:
1806
1807
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1808
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1809
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1810
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1811
1812
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1813
(Marius Kruger)
1814
1815
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1816
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1817
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1818
1819
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1820
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1821
1822
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1823
(Aaron Bentley)
1824
1825
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1826
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1827
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1828
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1829
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1830
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1831
1832
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1833
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1834
should enable you to do::
1835
1836
[/home/user/project]
1837
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1838
push_location:policy = appendpath
1839
1840
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1841
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1842
(James Henstridge)
1843
1844
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1845
for each file. For example::
1846
1847
$ bzr status --short
1848
A foo
1849
A bar
1850
D baz
1851
? wooley
1852
1853
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1854
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1855
1856
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1857
1858
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1859
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1860
1861
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1862
1863
INTERNALS:
1864
1865
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1866
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1867
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1868
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1869
1870
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1871
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1872
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1873
1874
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1875
1876
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1877
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1878
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1879
(Alexander Belchenko)
1880
1881
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1882
Pool)
1883
1884
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1885
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1886
1887
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1888
1889
BUG FIXES:
1890
1891
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1892
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1893
1894
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1895
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1896
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1897
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1898
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1899
1900
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1901
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1902
1903
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1904
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1905
1906
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1907
matcher.
1908
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1909
1910
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1911
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1912
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1913
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1914
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1915
1916
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1917
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1918
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1919
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1920
1921
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1922
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1923
1924
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1925
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1926
1927
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1928
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1929
1930
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

1940
=======================
1941
1942
IMPROVEMENTS:
1943
1944
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1945
tree from a branch.
1946
(Daniel Silverstone)
1947
1948
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1949
operations are substantially faster.
1950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1951
1952
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1953
tree from some other url. For example:
1954
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1955
(Daniel Silverstone)
1956
1957
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1958
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1959
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1960
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1961
1962
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1963
(Andrew Bennetts)
1964
1965
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1966
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1967
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1968
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1969
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1970
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1971
1972
INTERNALS:
1973
1974
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1975
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1976
(Martin Pool)
1977
1978
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1979
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1980
(John Arbash Meinel)
1981
1982
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1983
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1984
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1985
(John Arbash Meinel)
1986
1987
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1988
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1989
1990
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1991
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1992
1993
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1994
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1995
Bennetts)
1996
1997
BUG FIXES:
1998
1999
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2000
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2001
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2002
2003
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2004
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2005
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2006
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2007
2008
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2009
2010
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2011
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2012
2013
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2014
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2015
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2017
2018
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2019
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2020
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2021
2022
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2023
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2024
them as full references rather than integers.
2025
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2026
2027
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2028
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2029
2030
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2031
2032
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2033
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2034
2035
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2036
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2037
2038
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2039
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2040
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2041
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2042
2043
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2044
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2045
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2046
2047
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2048
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2049
2050
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2051
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2052
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2053
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2054
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2055
2056
TESTING:
2057
2058
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2059
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2062
====================
2063
2064
INTERNALS:
2065
2066
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2067
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2068
(John Arbash Meinel)
2069
2070
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2071
=======================
2072
2073
IMPROVEMENTS:
2074
2075
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2076
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2077
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2078
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2079
2080
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2081
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2082
2083
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2084
2085
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2086
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2087
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2088
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2089
2090
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2091
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2092
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2093
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2094
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2095
2096
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2097
2098
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2099
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2100
2101
INTERNALS:
2102
2103
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2104
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2105
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2106
2107
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2108
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2109
(John Arbash Meinel)
2110
2111
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2112
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2113
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2114
2115
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2116
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2117
(Aaron Bentley)
2118
2119
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2120
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2121
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2122
2123
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2124
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2125
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2126
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2127
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2128
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2129
2130
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2131
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2132
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2133
(Robert Collins)
2134
2135
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2136
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2137
2138
BUG FIXES:
2139
2140
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2141
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2142
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2143
#63360, #66349)
2144
2145
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2146
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2147
2148
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2149
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2150
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2151
2152
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2153
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2154
2155
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2156
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2157
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2158
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2159
2160
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2161
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2162
2163
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2164
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2165
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2166
2167
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2168
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2169
2170
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2171
2172
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2173
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2174
#32054)
2175
2176
TESTING:
2177
2178
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2179
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2180
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2181
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2182
2183
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2184
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2185
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2186
2187
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

2194
2195
BUG FIXES:
2196
2197
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2198
2199
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2200
Arbash Meinel).
2201
2202
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2203
=======================
2204
2205
IMPROVEMENTS:
2206
2207
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2208
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2209
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2210
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2211
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2212
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2213
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2214
2215
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2216
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2217
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2218
2219
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2220
2221
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2222
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2223
2224
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2225
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2226
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2227
(Robert Collins)
2228
2229
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2230
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2231
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2232
(John Arbash Meinel)
2233
2234
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2235
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2236
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2237
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2238
Pool)
2239
2240
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2241
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2242
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2243
(John Arbash Meinel)
2244
2245
BUG FIXES:
2246
2247
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2248
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2249
2250
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2251
2252
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2253
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2254
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2255
2256
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2257
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2258
2259
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2260
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2261
2262
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2264
2265
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2266
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2267
2268
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2269
2270
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2271
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2272
2273
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2274
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2275
2276
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2277
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2278
2279
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2280
(John Arbash Meinel)
2281
2282
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2283
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2284
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2285
2286
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2287
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2288
2289
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2290
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2291
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2292
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2293
2294
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2295
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2296
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2297
2298
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2299
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2300
2301
PORTABILITY:
2302
2303
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2304
2305
INTERNALS:
2306
2307
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2308
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2309
(John Arbash Meinel)
2310
2311
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2312
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2313
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2314
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2315
2316
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2317
(Andrew Bennetts)
2318
2319
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2320
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2321
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2322
2323
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2324
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2325
2326
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2327
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2328
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2329
2330
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2331
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2332
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2333
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2334
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2335
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2336
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2337
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2338
caller to repeat their request.
2339
(John Arbash Meinel)
2340
2341
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2342
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2343
2344
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2345
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2348
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2349
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2350
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2351
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2352
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2353
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2354
2355
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2356
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2357
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2358
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2359
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2360
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2361
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2362
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2363
(Robert Collins)
2364
2365
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2366
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2367
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2368
2369
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2370
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2373
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2374
2375
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2376
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2377
2378
TESTING:
2379
2380
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2381
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2382
2383
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2384
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2385
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2386
2387
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2388
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2389
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2390
2391
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2392
====================
2393
2394
IMPROVEMENTS:
2395
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2396
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2397
2398
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2399
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2400
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2401
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2402
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2403
2404
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2405
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2406
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2407
2408
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2409
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2410
2411
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2412
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2413
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2414
2415
BUG FIXES:
2416
2417
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2418
2419
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2420
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2421
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2422
2423
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2424
2425
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2426
2427
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2428
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2429
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2430
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2431
2432
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2433
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2434
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2435
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2436
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2437
2438
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2439
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2440
2441
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2442
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2443
2444
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2445
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2446
2447
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2448
in handling of revision properties.
2449
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2450
2451
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2452
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2453
2454
INTERNALS:
2455
2456
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2457
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2458
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2459
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2460
(John Arbash Meinel)
2461
2462
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2463
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2464
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2465
2466
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2467
=====================
2468
2469
SURPRISES:
2470
2471
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2472
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2473
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2474
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2475
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2476
a more conservative list than the old default.
2477
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2478
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2479
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2480
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2481
2482
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2483
to more locations than just branch locations.
2484
(Aaron Bentley)
2485
2486
IMPROVEMENTS:
2487
2488
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2489
revno:N:branch. For example,
2490
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2491
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2492
2493
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2494
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2495
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2496
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2497
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2498
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2499
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2500
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2501
#42517, #42514)
2502
2503
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2504
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2505
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2506
(Malone #3507)
2507
2508
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2509
(Alexander Belchenko)
2510
2511
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2512
2513
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2514
(Robert Collins).
2515
2516
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2517
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2518
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2519
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2520
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2521
(John Arbash Meinel)
2522
2523
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2524
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2525
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2526
grained analysis of performance.
2527
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2528
2529
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2530
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2531
2532
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2533
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2534
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2535
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2536
file. (Robert Collins).
2537
2538
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2539
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2540
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2541
2542
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2543
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2544
Matthieu Moy)
2545
2546
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2547
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2550
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2551
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2552
the same way you would apply another branch.
2553
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2554
2555
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2556
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2557
2558
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2559
(Michael Ellerman)
2560
2561
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2562
(Aaron Bentley)
2563
2564
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2565
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2566
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2567
2568
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2569
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2570
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2571
2572
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2573
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2574
2575
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2576
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2577
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2578
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2579
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2580
2581
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2582
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2583
2584
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2585
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2586
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2587
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2588
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2589
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2590
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2591
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2592
2593
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2594
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2595
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2596
2597
BUG FIXES:
2598
2599
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2600
tests not to run.
2601
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2602
2603
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2604
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2605
2606
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2607
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2608
2609
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2610
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2611
2612
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2613
2614
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2615
(John Arbash Meinel)
2616
2617
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2618
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2619
2620
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2621
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2622
and y.
2623
2624
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2625
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2626
2627
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2628
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2629
2630
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2631
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2632
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2633
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2634
2635
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2636
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2637
2638
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2639
2640
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2641
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2642
2643
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2644
2645
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2646
2647
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2648
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2649
2650
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2651
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2652
2653
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2654
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2655
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2656
2657
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2658
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2659
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2660
2661
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2662
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2663
2664
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2665
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2666
2667
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2668
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2669
2670
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2671
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2672
2673
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2674
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2675
2676
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2677
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2678
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2679
2680
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2681
2682
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2683
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2684
2685
INTERNALS:
2686
2687
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2688
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2689
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2690
2691
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2692
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2693
2694
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2695
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2696
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2697
2698
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2699
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2700
2701
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2702
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2703
(Martin Pool)
2704
2705
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2706
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2707
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2708
2709
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2710
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2711
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2712
2713
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2714
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2715
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2716
2717
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2718
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2719
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2720
2721
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2722
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2723
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2724
2725
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2726
instead. (Robert Collins)
2727
2728
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2745
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2746
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2747
2748
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2749
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

2760
2761
CHANGES:
2762
2763
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2764
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2765
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2766
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2767
2768
NEW FEATURES:
2769
2770
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2771
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2773
2774
INTERNALS:
2775
2776
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2778
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2779
2780
TESTING:
2781
2782
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2783
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2784
2785
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2786
===================
2787
2788
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2789
2790
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2791
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2792
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2793
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2794
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2795
will keep the same format.
2796
2797
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2798
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2799
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2800
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2801
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2802
2803
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2804
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2805
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2806
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2807
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2808
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2809
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2810
2811
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2812
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2813
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2814
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2815
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2816
2817
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2818
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2819
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2820
arrangement.
2821
2822
2823
IMPROVEMENTS:
2824
2825
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2826
convention. Paths now take the form::
2827
2828
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2829
or
2830
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2831
2832
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2833
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2834
2835
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2836
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2837
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2838
2839
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2840
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2841
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2842
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2843
2844
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2845
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2846
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2847
2848
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2849
2850
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2851
2852
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2853
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2854
commits::
2855
2856
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2857
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2858
| xargs bzr re-sign
2859
2860
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2861
2862
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2863
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2864
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2865
(Robert Collins)
2866
2867
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2868
2869
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2870
2871
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2872
'.moved'.
2873
2874
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2875
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2876
2877
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2878
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2879
Daniel Silverstone)
2880
2881
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2882
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2883
Martin Pool)
2884
2885
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2886
2887
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2888
2889
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2890
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2891
2892
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2893
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2894
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2895
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2896
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2897
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2898
2899
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2900
2901
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2902
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2903
(Robert Collins)
2904
2905
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2906
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2907
2908
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2909
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2910
2911
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2912
2913
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2914
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2915
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2916
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2917
specification by Martin Pool.
2918
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2919
2920
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2921
Belchenko)
2922
2923
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2924
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2925
2926
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2927
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2928
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2929
2930
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2931
2932
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2933
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2934
(Robert Collins)
2935
2936
CHANGES:
2937
2938
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2939
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2940
2941
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2942
2943
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2944
2945
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2946
(Olaf Conradi)
2947
2948
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2949
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2950
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2951
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2952
2953
INTERNALS:
2954
2955
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2956
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2957
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2958
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2959
2960
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2961
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2962
tried. (Martin Pool)
2963
2964
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2965
(Martin Pool)
2966
2967
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2968
2969
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2970
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2971
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2972
2973
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2974
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2975
2976
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2977
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2978
paths. (Robert Collins)
2979
2980
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2981
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2982
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2983
2984
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2985
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2986
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2987
2988
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2989
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2990
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2991
2992
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2993
(Olaf Conradi)
2994
2995
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2996
(Olaf Conradi)
2997
2998
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2999
3000
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3001
3002
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3003
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3004
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3005
(Robert Collins)
3006
3007
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3008
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3009
3010
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3011
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3012
check. (Robert Collins)
3013
3014
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3015
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3016
3017
TESTING:
3018
3019
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3020
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3021
3022
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3023
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3024
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3025
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3026
3027
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3028
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3029
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3030
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3031
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3032
3033
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3034
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3035
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3036
3037
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3038
3039
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3040
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3041
3042
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3043
==================
3044
3045
CHANGES:
3046
3047
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3048
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3049
3050
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3051
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3052
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3053
(Johan Rydberg)
3054
3055
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3056
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3057
3058
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3059
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3060
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3061
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3062
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3063
3064
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3065
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3066
used. (Robert Collins)
3067
3068
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3069
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3070
(James Henstridge)
3071
3072
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3073
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3074
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3075
3076
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3077
ignore list.
3078
3079
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3080
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3081
3082
IMPROVEMENTS:
3083
3084
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3085
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3086
3087
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3088
3089
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3090
3091
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3092
tree. (Robert Collins)
3093
3094
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3095
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3096
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3097
(Robert Collins)
3098
3099
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3100
that they be kept.
3101
3102
* Tweaks to short log printing
3103
3104
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3105
(Aaron Bentley)
3106
3107
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3108
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3109
3110
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3111
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3112
3113
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3114
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3115
3116
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3117
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3118
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3119
3120
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3121
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3122
3123
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3124
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3125
requests.
3126
3127
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3128
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3129
3130
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3131
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3132
3133
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3134
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3135
3136
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3137
(Denys Duchier)
3138
3139
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3140
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3141
3142
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3143
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3144
3145
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3146
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3147
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3148
3149
BUG FIXES:
3150
3151
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3152
3153
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3154
3155
* Error when run with -OO
3156
3157
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3158
(Martin Pool)
3159
3160
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3161
3162
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3163
3164
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3165
ignored by diff and status
3166
3167
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3168
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3169
3170
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3171
3172
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3173
3174
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3175
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3176
3177
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3178
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3179
3180
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3181
(Harald Meland)
3182
3183
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3184
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3185
3186
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3187
3188
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3189
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3190
3191
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3192
(Martin Pool)
3193
3194
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3195
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3196
3197
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3198
3199
TESTING:
3200
3201
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3202
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3203
3204
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3205
3206
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3207
3208
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3209
3210
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3211
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3212
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3213
3214
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3215
3216
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3217
(John Arbash Meinel)
3218
3219
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3220
3221
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3222
If adding a new test script please add that to
3223
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3224
3225
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3226
imported. (Martin Pool)
3227
3228
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3229
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3230
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3231
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3232
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3233
(Robert Collins)
3234
3235
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3236
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3237
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3238
3239
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3240
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3241
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3242
3243
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3244
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3245
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3246
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3247
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3248
(Robert Collins).
3249
3250
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3251
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3252
(Robert Collins).
3253
3254
INTERNALS:
3255
3256
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3257
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3258
3259
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3260
function. (Robert Collins)
3261
3262
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3263
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3264
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3265
3266
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3267
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3268
(Robert Collins)
3269
3270
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3271
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3272
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3273
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3274
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3275
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3276
version. (Robert Collins)
3277
3278
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3279
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3280
3281
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3282
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3283
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3284
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3285
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3286
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3289
(Robert Collins)
3290
3291
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3292
3293
add()
3294
commit()
3295
move()
3296
rename_one()
3297
unknowns()
3298
3299
(Robert Collins)
3300
3301
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3304
3305
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3306
Pool)
3307
3308
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3309
query method. (Robert Collins)
3310
3311
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3312
(Denys Duchier)
3313
3314
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3315
(Michael Ellerman)
3316
3317
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3318
(Michael Ellerman)
3319
3320
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3321
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3322
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3323
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3324
3325
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3326
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3327
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3328
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3329
3330
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3331
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3332

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3334
==================
3335
3336
IMPROVEMENTS:
3337
3338
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3339
(John A Meinel)
3340
3341
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3342
conflicts.
3343
(Aaron Bentley)
3344
3345
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3346
a separator, not ':'.
3347
(Aaron Bentley)
3348
3349
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3350
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3351
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3352
3353
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3354
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3355
(Robert Collins)
3356
3357
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3358
has been added that suppresses all output.
3359
3360
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3361
Adams.
3362
3363
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3364
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3365
3366
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3367
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3368
3369
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3370
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3371
3372
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3373
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3374
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3375
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3376
3377
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3378
3379
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3380
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3381
3382
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3383
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3384
3385
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3386
output directory, if one was supplied.
3387
3388
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3389
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3390
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3391
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3392
3393
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3394
3395
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3396
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3397
3398
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3399
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3400
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3401
3402
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3403
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3404
3405
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3406
(Aaron Bentley)
3407
3408
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3409
3410
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3411
3412
TESTING:
3413
3414
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3415
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3416
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3417
3418
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3419
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3420
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3421
3422
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3423
is given. (Martin Pool)
3424
3425
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3426
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3427
file. (Robert Collins)
3428
3429
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3430
(Martin Pool)
3431
3432
INTERNALS:
3433
3434
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3435
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3436
representation. (Martin Pool).
3437
3438
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3439
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3440
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3441
3442
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3443
(Robert Collins)
3444
3445
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3446
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3447
Magnus Therning.
3448
3449
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3450
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3451
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3452
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3453
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3454
3455
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3456
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3457
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3458
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3459
python path. (Robert Collins)
3460
3461
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3462
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3463
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3464
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3465
3466
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3467
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3468
3469
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3470
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3471
(Robert Collins)
3472
3473
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3474
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3475
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3476
3477
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3478
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3479
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3480
3481
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3482
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3483
3484
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3485
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3486
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3487
(Robert Collins)
3488
3489
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3490
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3491
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3492
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3493
(Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3496
(Robert Collins)
3497
3498
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3499
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3500
(Robert Collins)
3501
3502
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3503
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3504
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3505
3506
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3507
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3508
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3511
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3512
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3513
3514
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3515
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3516
3517
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3518
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3519
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3520
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3521
caller. (Robert Collins)
3522
3523
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3524
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3525
(Robert Collins).
3526
3527
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3528
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3529
(Aaron Bentley)
3530
3531
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3532
3533
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3534
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3535
3536
BUG FIXES:
3537
3538
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3539
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3540
3541
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3542
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3543
3544
3545
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3546
====================
3547
3548
BUG FIXES:
3549
3550
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3551
allow directories to be listed.
3552
3553
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3554
upgrading branch format.
3555
3556
PERFORMANCE:
3557
3558
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3559
3560
3561
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3562
==================
3563
3564
NOTES:
3565
3566
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3567
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3568
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3569
high-latency connections.
3570
3571
BUG FIXES:
3572
3573
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3574
Rob Weir.
3575
3576
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3577
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3578
3579
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3580
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3581
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3582
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3583
3584
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3585
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3586
3587
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3588
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3589
3590
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3591
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3592
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3593
3594
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3595
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3596
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3597
Robert Collins
3598
3599
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3600
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3601
3602
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3603
different partial views of history.
3604
3605
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3606
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3607
3608
IMPROVEMENTS:
3609
3610
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3611
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3612
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3613
3614
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3615
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3616
'bzr upgrade'.
3617
3618
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3619
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3620
3621
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3622
Niemeyer.
3623
3624
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3625
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3626
3627
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3628
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3629
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3630
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3631
3632
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3633
3634
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3635
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3636
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3637
3638
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3639
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3640
3641
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3642
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3643
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3644
3645
3646
INTERNALS:
3647
3648
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3649
for your viewing pleasure.
3650
3651
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3652
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3653
3654
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3655
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3656
handling of such circumstances.
3657
3658
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3659
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3660
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3661
3662
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3663
3664
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3665
we call them revisions not patches.
3666
3667
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3668
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3669
3670
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3671
giving the revision *of that file*.
3672
3673
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3674
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3675
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3676
3677
TESTING:
3678
3679
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3680
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3681
3682
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3683
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3684

3686
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3687
====================
3688
3689
BUG FIXES:
3690
3691
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3692
3693
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3694
(Robert Collins).
3695
3696
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3697
3698
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3699
3700
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3701
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3702
3703
IMPROVEMENTS:
3704
3705
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3706
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3707
3708
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3709
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3710
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3711
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3712
Robey Pointer
3713
3714
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3715
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3716
3717
INTERNALS:
3718
3719
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3720
3721
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3722
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3723
3724
3725
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3726
====================
3727
3728
IMPROVEMENTS:
3729
3730
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3731
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3732
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3733
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3734
Michael Ellerman.
3735
3736
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3737
(Nir Soffer)
3738
3739
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3740
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3741
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3742
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3743
for the operating system is still tried.
3744
3745
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3746
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3747
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3748
3749
3750
INTERNALS:
3751
3752
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3753
3754
BUG FIXES:
3755
3756
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3757
3758
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3759
branch.
3760
3761
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3762
read.
3763
3764
3765
PORTABILITY:
3766
3767
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3768
3769
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3770
3771
3772
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3773
====================
3774
3775
NEW FEATURES:
3776
3777
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3778
help with intelligent shell completion.
3779
3780
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3781
3782
3783
ENHANCEMENTS:
3784
3785
* Much better merge support.
3786
3787
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3788
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3789
like emacs smerge.
3790
3791
3792
BUG FIXES:
3793
3794
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3795
mention revisions that are not present.
3796
3797
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3798
3799
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3800
3801
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3802
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3803
3804
3805
CHANGES:
3806
3807
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3808
3809
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3810
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3811
--help themselves.
3812
3813
3814
LIBRARY:
3815
3816
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3817
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3818
libraries.
3819
3820
3821
3822
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3823
====================
3824
3825
NEW FEATURES:
3826
3827
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3828
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3829
3830
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3831
3832
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3833
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3834
3835
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3836
FOO.
3837
3838
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3839
3840
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3841
the Unix command.
3842
3843
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3844
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3845
3846
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3847
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3848
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3849
3850
3851
ENHANCEMENTS:
3852
3853
* Faster working tree operations.
3854
3855
3856
CHANGES:
3857
3858
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3859
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3860
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3861
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3862
3863
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3864
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3865
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3866
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3867
standard plugins directory.
3868
3869
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3870
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3871
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3872
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3873
3874
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3875
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3876
3877
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3878
disk.
3879
3880
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3881
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3882
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3883
3884
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3885
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3886
3887
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3888
line options must come before the command name because they
3889
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3890
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3891
it.
3892
3893
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3894
3895
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3896
is available with ``--short``.
3897
3898
3899
BUG FIXES:
3900
3901
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3902
3903
3904
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3905
=====================
3906
3907
CHANGES:
3908
3909
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3910
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3911
3912
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3913
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3914
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3915
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3916
3917
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3918
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3919
with the ``--forward`` option.
3920
3921
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3922
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3923
field.
3924
3925
3926
ENHANCEMENTS:
3927
3928
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3929
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3930
3931
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3932
3933
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3934
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3935
3936
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3937
3938
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3939
either read or write mode.
3940
3941
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3942
3943
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3944
affected that file.
3945
3946
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3947
3948
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3949
suggested by LarstiQ.
3950
3951
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3952
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3953
3954
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3955
a filename.
3956
3957
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3958
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3959
3960
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3961
haven't changed since the previous time.
3962
3963
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3964
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3965
3966
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3967
3968
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3969
3970
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3971
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3972
3973
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3974
options through to an external GNU diff.
3975
3976
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3977
their contents.
3978
3979
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3980
from a branch.
3981
3982
3983
BUG FIXES:
3984
3985
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3986
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3987
3988
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3989
metacharacters.
3990
3991
3992
TESTING:
3993
3994
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3995
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3996
the tests.
3997
3998
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3999
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4000
4001
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4002
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4003
4004
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4005
under a different version.
4006
4007
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4008
4009
4010
INTERNAL:
4011
4012
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4013
4014
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4015
Scott James Remnant.
4016
4017
* Better help messages for many commands.
4018
4019
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4020
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4021
4022
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4023
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4024
4025
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4026
4027
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4028
4029
* New AtomicFile class.
4030
4031
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4032
4033
4034
PORTABILITY:
4035
4036
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4037
2.4 is now only recommended.
4038
4039
4040
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4041
=====================
4042
4043
ENHANCEMENTS:
4044
4045
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4046
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4047
4048
* More default ignore patterns.
4049
4050
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4051
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4052
4053
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4054
4055
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4056
by Jason Diamon.
4057
4058
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4059
4060
4061
CHANGES:
4062
4063
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4064
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4065
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4066
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4067
there are DNS problems.
4068
4069
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4070
4071
4072
BUG FIXES:
4073
4074
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4075
4076
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4077
4078
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4079
trailing newlines properly.
4080
4081
4082
INTERNAL:
4083
4084
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4085
Matt Brubeck.
4086
4087
* More tests in test.sh.
4088
4089
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4090
directory and delete it when done.
4091
4092
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4093
4094
4095
PORTABILITY:
4096
4097
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4098
Bennetts.
4099
4100
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4101
from QuantumG.
4102
4103
4104
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4105
=====================
4106
4107
ENHANCEMENTS:
4108
4109
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4110
in the tree.
4111
4112
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4113
4114
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4115
and/or directory.
4116
4117
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4118
directory.
4119
4120
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4121
4122
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4123
4124
CHANGES:
4125
4126
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4127
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4128
will do for now.)
4129
4130
PORTABILITY:
4131
4132
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4133
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4134
Nielsen.
4135
4136
INTERNAL:
4137
4138
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4139
4140
TESTING:
4141
4142
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4154
===================================
4155
4156
ENHANCEMENTS:
4157
4158
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4159
4160
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4161
rather than replacing it.
4162
4163
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4164
4165
* More help topics.
4166
4167
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4168
branch.
4169
4170
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4171
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4172
4173
* Performance improvements.
4174
4175
* New global --profile option.
4176
4177
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4178
the root directory only.
4179
4180
4181
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4182
=====================
4183
4184
ENHANCEMENTS:
4185
4186
* More information from info command.
4187
4188
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4189
4190
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4191
committing to stores.
4192
4193
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4194
4195
BUG FIXES:
4196
4197
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4198
4199
PORTABILITY:
4200
4201
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4202
installation easier.
4203
4204
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4205
supported).
4206
4207
4208
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
4209
========================
4210
4211
ENHANCEMENTS:
4212
4213
* First public release.
4214
4215
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
4216
diff, status, etc.
Loggerhead is a web-based interface for Breezy
