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
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
36
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
37
38
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
39
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
40
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
41
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
42
43
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
44
(Robert Collins)
45
46
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
47
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
48
49
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
50
the contents. (Robert Collins)
51
52
IMPROVEMENTS:
53
54
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
55
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
56
57
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
58
(Martin Pool, #63894)
59
60
BUG FIXES:
61
62
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
63
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
64
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
65
66
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
67
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
68
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
69
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
70
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
71
72
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
73
will remain opened.
74
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
75
76
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
77
78
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
79
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
80
paramiko.
81
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
82
83
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
84
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
85
86
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
87
(Rob Weir, #141629)
88
89
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
90
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
91
92
API BREAKS:
93
94
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
95
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
96
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
97
98
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
99
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
100
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
101
(Robert Collins)
102
103
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
104
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
105
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
106
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
107
(Robert Collins)
108
109
INTERNALS:
110
111
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
112
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
113
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
114
115
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
116
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
117
118
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
119
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
120
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
121
122
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
123
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
124
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
125
returned. (Robert Collins)
126
127
TESTING:
128
129
130
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
131
======================
132
133
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
134
in bzrlib/remote.py.
135
136
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
137
======================
138
139
CHANGES:
140
141
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
142
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
143
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
144
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
145
(Martin Pool)
146
147
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
148
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
149
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
150
(Ian Clatworthy)
151
152
FEATURES:
153
154
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
155
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
156
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
157
(Lukáš Lalinský)
158
159
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
160
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
161
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
162
163
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
164
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
165
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
166
167
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
168
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
169
170
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
171
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
172
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
173
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
174
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
175
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
176
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
177
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
178
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
179
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
180
181
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
182
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
183
184
BUG FIXES:
185
186
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
187
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
188
189
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
190
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
191
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
192
193
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
194
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
195
196
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
197
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
198
199
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
200
(Aaron Bentley)
201
202
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
203
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
204
205
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
206
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
207
208
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
209
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
210
211
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
212
(Blake Winton, #129299)
213
214
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
215
216
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
217
Watkins, #106726)
218
219
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
220
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
221
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
222
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
223
224
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
225
226
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
227
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
228
#133548)
229
230
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
231
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
232
233
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
234
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
235
#116143)
236
237
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
238
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
239
240
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
241
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
242
243
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
244
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
245
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
246
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
247
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
248
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
249
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
250
251
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
252
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
253
254
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
255
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
256
257
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
258
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
259
260
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
261
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
262
263
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
264
connections.
265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
266
267
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
268
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
269
270
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
271
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
272
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
273
274
IMPROVEMENTS:
275
276
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
277
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
278
279
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
280
(Aaron Bentley)
281
282
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
283
(Aaron Bentley)
284
285
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
286
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
287
288
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
289
290
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
291
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
292
293
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
294
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
295
296
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
297
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
298
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
299
space). (Robert Collins)
300
301
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
302
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
303
(Ian Clatworthy)
304
305
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
306
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
307
308
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
309
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
310
311
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
312
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
313
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
314
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
315
316
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
317
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
318
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
319
(Lukáš Lalinský)
320
321
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
322
(Ian Clatworthy)
323
324
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
325
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
326
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
327
328
API BREAKS:
329
330
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
331
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
332
333
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
334
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
335
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
336
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
337
affected. (Robert Collins)
338
339
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
340
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
341
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
342
(Robert Collins)
343
344
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
345
previous release. (Martin Pool)
346
347
TESTING:
348
349
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
350
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
351
352
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
353
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
354
355
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
356
previous release. (Martin Pool)
357
358
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
359
(Aaron Bentley)
360
361
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
362
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
363
364
INTERNALS:
365
366
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
367
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
368
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
369
its version information. (Robert Collins)
370
371
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
372
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
373
374
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
375
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
376
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
377
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
378
379
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
380
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
381
present. (Robert Collins)
382
383
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
384
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
385
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
386
API. (Robert Collins)
387
388
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
389
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
390
(Robert Collins)
391
392
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
393
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
394
395
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
396
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
397
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
398
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
399
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
400
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
401
402
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
403
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
404
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
405
406
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
407
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
408
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
409
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
410
protocol.
411
412
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
413
(Aaron Bentley)
414
415
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
416
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
417
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
418
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
419
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
420
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
421
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
422
423
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
424
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
425
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
426
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
427
428
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
429
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
430
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
431
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
432
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
433
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
434
435
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
436
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
437
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
438
439
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
440
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
444
===================
445
446
IMPROVEMENTS:
447
448
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
449
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
450
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
451
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
452
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
453
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
454
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
455

458
API CHANGES:
459
460
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
461
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
462
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
463
464
465
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
466
======================
467
468
BUGFIXES:
469
470
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
471
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
472
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
473
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
474
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
475
476
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
478
479
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
480
anymore.
481
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
482
483
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
484
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
485
(Vincent Ladeuil)
486
487
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
488
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
489
#111664)
490
491
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
492
(Lukáš Lalinský)
493
494
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
495
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
496
497
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
498
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
499
500
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
501
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
502
503
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
504
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
505
506
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
507
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
508
509
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
510
(Aaron Bentley)
511
512
IMPROVEMENTS:
513
514
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
515
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
516
517
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
518
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
519
520
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
521
the repository (Robert Collins)
522
523
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
524
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
525
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
526
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
527
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
528
529
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
530
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
531
532
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
533
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
534
(John Arbash Meinel)
535
536
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
537
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
538
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
539
about 10%).
540
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
541
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
542
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
543
(John Arbash Meinel)
544
545
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
546
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
547
(Robert Collins)
548
549
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
550
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
551
552
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
553
(Ian Clatworthy)
554
555
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
556
557
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
558
559
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
560
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
561
562
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
563
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
564
Meinel)
565
566
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
567
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
568
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
569
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
570
571
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
572
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
573
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
574
575
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
576
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
577
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
578
579
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
580
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
581
582
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
583
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
584
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
585
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
586
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
587
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
588
(Ian Clatworthy)
589
590
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
591
(Alexander Belchenko)
592
593
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
594
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
595
596
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
597
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
598
599
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
600
601
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
602
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
603
604
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
605
606
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
607
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
608
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
609
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
610
611
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
612
613
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
614
(Robert Collins)
615
616
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
617
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
618
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
619
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
620
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
621
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
622
623
INTERNALS:
624
625
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
626
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
627
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
628
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
629
630
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
631
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
632
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
633
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
634
tests have been refactored too.
635
(Vincent Ladeuil)
636
637
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
638
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
639
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
640
list, it will.
641
(Vincent Ladeuil)
642
643
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
644
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
645
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
646
647
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
648
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
649
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
650
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
651
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
652
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
653
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
654
655
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
656
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
657
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
658
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
659
(John Arbash Meinel)
660
661
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
662
functionality for testing.
663
664
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
665
666
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
667
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
668
669
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
670
671
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
672
(Robert Collins)
673
674
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
675
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
676
677
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
678
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
679
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
680
681
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
682
(Aaron Bentley)
683
684
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
685
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
686
687
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
688
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
689
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
690
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
691
692
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
693
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
694
695
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
696
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
697
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
698
699
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
700
(Marius Kruger)
701
702
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
703
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
704
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
705
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
706
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
707
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
708
709
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
710
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
711
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
712
many files. (Robert Collins)
713
714
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
715
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
716
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
717
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
718
719
TESTING:
720
721
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
722
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
723
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
724
725
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
726
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
727
728
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
729
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
730
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18 2007-07-17
734
====================
735
736
BUGFIXES:
737
738
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
739
740
741
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
742
=======================
743
744
BUGFIXES:
745
746
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
747
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
748
749
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
750
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
751
(James Westby, #122656)
752
753
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
754
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
755
756
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
757
authentication header.
758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
759
760
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
761
762
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
763
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
764
765
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
766
767
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
769
770
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
771
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
773
774
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
775
individually and as part of revision ranges.
776
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
777
778
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
779
(Martin Pool, #109169)
780
781
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
783
784
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
785
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
786
787
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
788
789
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
790
791
IMPROVEMENTS:
792
793
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
794
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
795
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
796
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
797
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
798
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
799
800
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
801
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
802
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
803
804
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
805
(Elliot Murphy)
806
807
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
808
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
809
810
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
811
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
812
813
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
814
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
815
816
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
817
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
818
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
819
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
820
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
821
822
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
823
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
824
825
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
826
can be slow it is useful feedback).
827
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
828
829
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
830
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
831
832
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
833
834
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
835
output. (Aaron Bentley)
836
837
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
838
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
839
(Robert Collins)
840
841
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
842
(Martin Pool)
843
844
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
845
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
846
847
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
848
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
849
850
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
851
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
852
853
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
854
855
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
856
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
857
858
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
859
(Andrew Bennetts)
860
861
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
862
863
* Testing cleanups -
864
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
865
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
866
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
867
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
868
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
869
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
870
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
871
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
872
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
873
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
874
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
875
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
876
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
877
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
878
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
879
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
880
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
881
(Robert Collins)
882
883
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
884
885
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
886
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
887
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
888
889
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
890
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
891
892
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
893
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
894
895
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
896
897
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
898
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
899
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
900
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
901
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
902
same location. (Robert Collins)
903
904
INTERNALS:
905
906
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
907
908
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
909
910
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
911
912
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
913
(Martin Pool)
914
915
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
916
(Martin Pool)
917
918
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
919
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
920
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
921
922
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
923
924
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
925
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
926
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
927
928
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
929
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
930
931
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
932
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
933
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
934
935
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
936
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
937
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
938
939
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
940
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
941
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
942
943
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
944
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
945
Martin Pool)
946
947
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
948
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
949
950
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
951
(Alexander Belchenko)
952
953
TESTING:
954
955
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
956
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
957
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
958
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
959
960
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
961
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
962
testing. (Robert Collins)
963
964
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
965
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
966
967
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
968
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
969
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
970
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
971
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
972
attribute during the test parameterisation in
973
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
974
975
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
976
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
977
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
978
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
979
980
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
981
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
982
983
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
984
avoid useless cloning.

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

1003
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1004
1005
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1006
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1007
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1008
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1009
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1010
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1011
and unlock() like so::
1012
1013
work_tree.lock_read()
1014
try:
1015
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1016
finally:
1017
work_tree.unlock()
1018
1019
INTERNALS:
1020
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1021
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1022
object.
1023
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1024
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1025
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1026
1027
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1028
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1029
too. (Robert Collins)
1030
1031
IMPROVEMENTS:
1032
1033
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1034
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1035
Aaron Bentley)
1036
1037
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1038
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1039
1040
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1041
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1042
1043
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1044
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1045
understanding what changes have occurred
1046
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1047
1048
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1049
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1050
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
1052
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1053
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1054
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1055
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1056
1057
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1058
#56322)
1059
1060
BUGFIXES:
1061
1062
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1063
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1064
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1065
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1066
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1067
1068
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1069
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1070
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1071
1072
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1073
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1074
1075
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1076
into account.
1077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1078
1079
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1080
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1081
1082
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1083
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1084
1085
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1086
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1087
1088
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1089
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1090
1091
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1092
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1093
1094
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1095
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1096
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1099
====================
1100
1101
BUGFIXES:
1102
1103
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1104
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1105
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1106
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1107
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1108
1109
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1110
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1111
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1112
1113
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1114
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1115
1116
IMPROVEMENTS:
1117
1118
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1119
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1120
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1121
1122
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1123
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1124
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1125
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1128
=======================
1129
1130
BUGFIXES:
1131
1132
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1133
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1134
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1135
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1136
1137
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1138
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1139
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1140
1141
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1142
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1143
1144
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1145
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1146
1147
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1148
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1150
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1151
=======================
1152
1153
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1154
1155
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1156
it could be recovered again.
1157
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1158
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1159
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1160
but not delete it.
1161
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1162
files.
1163
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1164
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1165
1166
IMPROVEMENTS:
1167
1168
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1169
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1170
1171
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1172
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1173
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1174
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1175
1176
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1177
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1178
1179
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1180
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1181
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1182
1183
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1184
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1185
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1186
1187
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1188
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1189
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1190
1191
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1192
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1193
Robert Collins)
1194
1195
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1196
Pool)
1197
1198
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1199
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1200
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1201
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1202
1203
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1204
(Robert Collins)
1205
1206
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1207
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1208
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1209
(Robert Collins)
1210
1211
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1212
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1213
1214
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1215
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1216
1217
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1218
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1219
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1220
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1221
(Robert Collins)
1222
1223
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1224
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1225
1226
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1227
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1228
1229
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1230
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1231
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1232
1233
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1234
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1235
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1236
1237
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1238
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1239
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1242
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1243
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1244
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1245
1246
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1247
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1248
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1249
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1250
1251
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1252
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1253
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1254
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1255
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1256
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1257
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1258
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1259
header(s).
1260
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1261
1262
INTERNALS:
1263
1264
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1265
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1266
1267
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1268
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1269
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1270
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1271
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1272
1273
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1274
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1275
1276
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1277
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1278
1279
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1280
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1281
1282
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1283
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1284
1285
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1286
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1287
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1288
(Robert Collins).
1289
1290
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1291
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1292
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1293
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1294
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1295
(Robert Collins)
1296
1297
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1298
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1299
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1300
1301
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1302
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1303
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1304
1305
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1306
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1307
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1308
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1309
1310
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1311
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1312
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1313
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1314
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1315
1316
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1317
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1318
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1319
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1320
1321
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1322
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1323
1324
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1325
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1326
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1327
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1328
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1329
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1330
1331
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1332
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1333
1334
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1335
help. (Robert Collins)
1336
1337
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1338
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1339
1340
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1341
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1342
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1343
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1344
(John Arbash Meinel)
1345
1346
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1347
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1348
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1349
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1350
useful. (Robert Collins)
1351
1352
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1353
(Andrew Bennetts)
1354
1355
BUGFIXES:
1356
1357
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1358
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1359
1360
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1361
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1362
1363
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1364
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1365
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1366
1367
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1368
(Aaron Bentley)
1369
1370
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1371
the file, and does it faster.
1372
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1373
1374
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1375
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1376
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1377
1378
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1379
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1380
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1381
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1382
1383
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1384
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1385
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1386
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1387
1388
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1389
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1390
1391
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1392
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1393
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1394
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1395
Arbash Meinel)
1396
1397
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1398
1399
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1400
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1401
1402
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1403
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1404
1405
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1406
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1407
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1408
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1409
security hole.
1410
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1411
1412
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1414
1415
TESTING:
1416
1417
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1418
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1419
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1420
1421
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1422
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1423
1424
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1425
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1426
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1427
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1428
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1429
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1430
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1431
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1432
1433
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1434
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1435
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1436
1437
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1438
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1439
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1440
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1441
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1442
access.
1443
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1444
1445
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1446
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1447
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1448
1449
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1450
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1459
(Aaron Bentley)
1460

1466
=======================
1467
1468
CHANGES:
1469
1470
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1471
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1472
(Martin Pool)
1473
1474
IMPROVEMENTS:
1475
1476
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1477
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1478
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1479
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1480
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1481
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1482
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1483
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1484
path. (vila)
1485
1486
INTERNALS:
1487
1488
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1489
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1490
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1491
1492
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1493
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1494
(Martin Pool)
1495
1496
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1497
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1498
(John Arbash Meinel)
1499
1500
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1501
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1502
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1503
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1504
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1505
1506
BUGFIXES:
1507
1508
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1509
(vila, #92195)
1510
1511
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1513
1514
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1515
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1516
1517
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1518
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1519
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1520
1521
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1522
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1523
1524
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1525
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1526
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1527
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1528
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1529
1530
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1531
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1532
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1533
1534
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1538
=======================
1539
1540
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1541
1542
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1543
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1544
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1545
1546
IMPROVEMENTS:
1547
1548
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1549
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1550
1551
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1552
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1553
1554
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1555
1556
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1557
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1558
1559
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1560
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1561
1562
INTERNALS:
1563
1564
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1565
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1566
1567
BUGFIXES:
1568
1569
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1570
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1571
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1572
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1573
1574
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1575
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1576
1577
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1578
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1579
1580
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1581
(Marien Zwart)
1582
1583
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1584
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

1587
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1588
=======================
1589
1590
SURPRISES:
1591
1592
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1593
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1594
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1595
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1596
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1597
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1598
1599
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1600
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1601
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1602
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1603
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1604
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1605
development.
1606
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1607
1608
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1609
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1610
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1611
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1612
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1613
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1614
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1615
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1616
1617
IMPROVEMENTS:
1618
1619
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1620
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1621
1622
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1623
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1624
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1625
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1626
does exist.
1627
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1628
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1629
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1630
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1631
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1632
1633
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1634
(Aaron Bentley)
1635
1636
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1637
(Aaron Bentley)
1638
1639
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1640
(Robert Collins)
1641
1642
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1643
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1644
(Aaron Bentley)
1645
1646
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1647
(Aaron Bentley)
1648
1649
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1650
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1651
1652
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1653
directory. (Martin Pool)
1654
1655
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1656
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1657
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1658
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1659
1660
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1661
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1662
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1663
in docs/configuration.txt.
1664
1665
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1666
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1667
bind location.
1668
1669
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1670
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1671
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1672
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1673
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1674
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1675
1676
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1677
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1678
1679
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1680
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1681
1682
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1683
(Aaron Bentley)
1684
1685
INTERNALS:
1686
1687
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1688
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1689
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1690
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1691
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1692
(John Arbash Meinel)
1693
1694
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1695
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1696
(Aaron Bentley)
1697
1698
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1699
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1700
(John Arbash Meinel)
1701
1702
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1703
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1704
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1705
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1706
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1707
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1708
1709
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1710
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1711
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1712
1713
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1714
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1715
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1716
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1717
repository.
1718
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1719
1720
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1721
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1722
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1723
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1724
1725
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1726
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1727
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1728
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1729
1730
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1731
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1732
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1733
1734
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1735
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1736
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1737
1738
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1739
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1740
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1741
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1742
1743
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1744
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1745
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1746
1747
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1748
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1749
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1750
1751
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1752
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1753
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1754
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1755
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1756
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1757
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1758
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1759
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1760
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1761
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1762
1763
BUGFIXES:
1764
1765
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1766
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1767
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1768
1769
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1770
(Aaron Bentley)
1771
1772
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1773
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1774
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1775
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1776
1777
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1778
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1779
#83954).
1780
1781
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1782
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1783
1784
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1785
1786
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1787
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1788
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1789
1790
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1791
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1792
1793
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1795
1796
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1798
1799
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1800
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1801
1802
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1803
1804
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1805
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1806
1807
TESTING:
1808
1809
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1810
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

1816
IMPROVEMENTS:
1817
1818
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1819
1820
BUG FIXES:
1821
1822
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1823
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1824
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1825
1826
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1827
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1828

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1832
=======================
1833
1834
IMPROVEMENTS:
1835
1836
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1837
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1838
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1839
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1840
1841
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1842
(Marius Kruger)
1843
1844
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1845
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1846
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1847
1848
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1849
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1850
1851
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1852
(Aaron Bentley)
1853
1854
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1855
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1856
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1857
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1858
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1859
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1860
1861
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1862
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1863
should enable you to do::
1864
1865
[/home/user/project]
1866
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1867
push_location:policy = appendpath
1868
1869
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1870
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1871
(James Henstridge)
1872
1873
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1874
for each file. For example::
1875
1876
$ bzr status --short
1877
A foo
1878
A bar
1879
D baz
1880
? wooley
1881
1882
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1883
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1884
1885
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1886
1887
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1888
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1889
1890
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1891
1892
INTERNALS:
1893
1894
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1895
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1896
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1897
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1898
1899
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1900
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1901
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1902
1903
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1904
1905
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1906
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1907
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1908
(Alexander Belchenko)
1909
1910
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1911
Pool)
1912
1913
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1914
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1915
1916
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1917
1918
BUG FIXES:
1919
1920
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1921
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1922
1923
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1924
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1925
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1926
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1927
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1928
1929
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1930
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1931
1932
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1933
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1934
1935
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1936
matcher.
1937
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1938
1939
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1940
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1941
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1942
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1943
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1944
1945
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1946
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1947
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1948
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1949
1950
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1951
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1952
1953
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1954
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1955
1956
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1957
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1958
1959
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

=======================
1970
1971
IMPROVEMENTS:
1972
1973
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1974
tree from a branch.
1975
(Daniel Silverstone)
1976
1977
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1978
operations are substantially faster.
1979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1980
1981
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1982
tree from some other url. For example:
1983
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1984
(Daniel Silverstone)
1985
1986
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1987
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1988
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1989
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1990
1991
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1992
(Andrew Bennetts)
1993
1994
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1995
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1996
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1997
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1998
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1999
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2000
2001
INTERNALS:
2002
2003
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2004
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2005
(Martin Pool)
2006
2007
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2008
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2009
(John Arbash Meinel)
2010
2011
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2012
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2013
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2014
(John Arbash Meinel)
2015
2016
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2017
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2018
2019
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2020
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2021
2022
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2023
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2024
Bennetts)
2025
2026
BUG FIXES:
2027
2028
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2029
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2030
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2031
2032
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2033
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2034
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2035
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2036
2037
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2038
2039
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2040
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2041
2042
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2043
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2044
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2045
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2046
2047
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2048
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2049
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2050
2051
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2052
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2053
them as full references rather than integers.
2054
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2055
2056
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2057
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2058
2059
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2060
2061
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2062
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2063
2064
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2065
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2066
2067
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2068
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2069
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2070
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2071
2072
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2073
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2074
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2075
2076
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2077
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2078
2079
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2080
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2081
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2082
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2083
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2084
2085
TESTING:
2086
2087
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2088
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2091
====================
2092
2093
INTERNALS:
2094
2095
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2097
(John Arbash Meinel)
2098
2099
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2100
=======================
2101
2102
IMPROVEMENTS:
2103
2104
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2105
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2106
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2107
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2110
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2111
2112
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2113
2114
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2115
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2116
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2117
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2118
2119
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2120
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2121
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2122
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2123
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2124
2125
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2126
2127
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2128
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2129
2130
INTERNALS:
2131
2132
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2133
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2134
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2135
2136
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2137
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2138
(John Arbash Meinel)
2139
2140
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2141
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2142
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2143
2144
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2145
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2146
(Aaron Bentley)
2147
2148
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2149
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2150
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2151
2152
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2153
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2154
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2155
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2156
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2157
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2158
2159
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2160
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2161
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2162
(Robert Collins)
2163
2164
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2165
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2166
2167
BUG FIXES:
2168
2169
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2170
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2171
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2172
#63360, #66349)
2173
2174
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2175
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2176
2177
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2178
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2179
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2180
2181
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2182
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2183
2184
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2185
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2186
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2187
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2188
2189
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2190
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2191
2192
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2193
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2194
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2195
2196
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2197
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2198
2199
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2200
2201
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2202
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2203
#32054)
2204
2205
TESTING:
2206
2207
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2208
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2209
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2210
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2211
2212
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2213
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2214
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2215
2216
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

2226
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2227

2230
2231
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2232
=======================
2233
2234
IMPROVEMENTS:
2235
2236
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2237
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2238
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2239
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2240
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2241
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2242
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2243
2244
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2245
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2246
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2247
2248
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2249
2250
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2251
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2254
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2255
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2256
(Robert Collins)
2257
2258
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2259
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2260
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2261
(John Arbash Meinel)
2262
2263
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2264
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2265
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2266
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2267
Pool)
2268
2269
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2270
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2271
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2272
(John Arbash Meinel)
2273
2274
BUG FIXES:
2275
2276
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2277
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2278
2279
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2280
2281
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2282
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2283
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2284
2285
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2286
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2287
2288
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2289
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2290
2291
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2292
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2293
2294
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2295
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2296
2297
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2298
2299
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2300
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2301
2302
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2303
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2304
2305
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2306
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2307
2308
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2309
(John Arbash Meinel)
2310
2311
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2312
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2313
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2314
2315
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2316
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2317
2318
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2319
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2320
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2321
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2322
2323
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2324
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2325
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2326
2327
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2328
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2329
2330
PORTABILITY:
2331
2332
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2333
2334
INTERNALS:
2335
2336
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2337
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2338
(John Arbash Meinel)
2339
2340
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2341
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2342
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2343
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2344
2345
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2346
(Andrew Bennetts)
2347
2348
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2349
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2350
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2351
2352
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2353
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2354
2355
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2356
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2357
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2358
2359
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2360
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2361
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2362
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2363
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2364
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2365
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2366
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2367
caller to repeat their request.
2368
(John Arbash Meinel)
2369
2370
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2371
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2372
2373
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2374
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2377
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2378
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2379
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2380
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2381
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2382
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2383
2384
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2385
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2386
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2387
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2388
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2389
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2390
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2391
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2392
(Robert Collins)
2393
2394
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2395
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2396
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2397
2398
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2399
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2400
2401
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2402
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2403
2404
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2405
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2406
2407
TESTING:
2408
2409
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2410
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2411
2412
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2413
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2414
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2415
2416
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2417
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2418
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2419
2420
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2421
====================
2422
2423
IMPROVEMENTS:
2424
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2425
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2426
2427
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2428
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2429
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2430
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2431
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2432
2433
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2434
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2435
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2436
2437
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2438
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2439
2440
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2441
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2442
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2443
2444
BUG FIXES:
2445
2446
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2447
2448
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2449
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2450
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2451
2452
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2453
2454
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2455
2456
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2457
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2458
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2459
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2460
2461
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2462
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2463
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2464
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2465
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2466
2467
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2468
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2469
2470
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2471
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2472
2473
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2474
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2475
2476
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2477
in handling of revision properties.
2478
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2479
2480
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2481
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2482
2483
INTERNALS:
2484
2485
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2486
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2487
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2488
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2489
(John Arbash Meinel)
2490
2491
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2492
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2493
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2494
2495
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2496
=====================
2497
2498
SURPRISES:
2499
2500
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2501
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2502
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2503
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2504
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2505
a more conservative list than the old default.
2506
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2507
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2508
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2509
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2510
2511
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2512
to more locations than just branch locations.
2513
(Aaron Bentley)
2514
2515
IMPROVEMENTS:
2516
2517
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2518
revno:N:branch. For example,
2519
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2520
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2521
2522
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2523
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2524
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2525
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2526
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2527
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2528
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2529
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2530
#42517, #42514)
2531
2532
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2533
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2534
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2535
(Malone #3507)
2536
2537
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2538
(Alexander Belchenko)
2539
2540
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2541
2542
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2543
(Robert Collins).
2544
2545
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2546
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2547
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2548
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2549
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2550
(John Arbash Meinel)
2551
2552
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2553
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2554
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2555
grained analysis of performance.
2556
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2557
2558
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2559
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2560
2561
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2562
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2563
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2564
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2565
file. (Robert Collins).
2566
2567
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2568
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2569
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2570
2571
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2572
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2573
Matthieu Moy)
2574
2575
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2576
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2577
2578
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2579
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2580
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2581
the same way you would apply another branch.
2582
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2583
2584
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2585
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2586
2587
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2588
(Michael Ellerman)
2589
2590
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2591
(Aaron Bentley)
2592
2593
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2594
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2595
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2596
2597
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2598
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2599
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2600
2601
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2602
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2603
2604
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2605
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2606
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2607
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2608
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2609
2610
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2611
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2612
2613
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2614
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2615
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2616
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2617
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2618
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2619
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2620
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2621
2622
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2623
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2624
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2625
2626
BUG FIXES:
2627
2628
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2629
tests not to run.
2630
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2631
2632
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2633
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2634
2635
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2636
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2637
2638
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2639
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2640
2641
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2642
2643
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2644
(John Arbash Meinel)
2645
2646
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2647
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2648
2649
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2650
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2651
and y.
2652
2653
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2654
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2655
2656
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2657
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2658
2659
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2660
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2661
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2662
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2663
2664
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2665
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2666
2667
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2668
2669
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2670
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2671
2672
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2673
2674
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2675
2676
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2677
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2678
2679
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2680
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2681
2682
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2683
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2684
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2685
2686
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2687
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2688
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2689
2690
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2691
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2692
2693
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2694
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2695
2696
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2697
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2698
2699
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2700
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2701
2702
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2703
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2704
2705
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2706
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2707
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2708
2709
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2710
2711
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2712
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2713
2714
INTERNALS:
2715
2716
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2717
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2718
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2719
2720
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2721
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2722
2723
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2724
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2725
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2726
2727
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2728
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2729
2730
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2731
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2732
(Martin Pool)
2733
2734
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2735
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2736
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2737
2738
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2739
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2740
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2741
2742
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2743
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2744
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2745
2746
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2747
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2748
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2749
2750
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2751
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2752
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2753
2754
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2755
instead. (Robert Collins)
2756
2757
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2775
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2776
2777
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2778
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2791
2792
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2793

2795
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2796
2797
NEW FEATURES:
2798
2799
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

2814
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2815
===================
2816
2817
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2818
2819
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2820
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2821
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2822
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2823
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2824
will keep the same format.
2825
2826
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2827
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2828
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2829
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2830
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2831
2832
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2833
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2834
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2835
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2836
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2837
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2838
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2839
2840
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2841
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2842
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2843
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2844
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2845
2846
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2847
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2848
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2849
arrangement.
2850
2851
2852
IMPROVEMENTS:
2853
2854
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2855
convention. Paths now take the form::
2856
2857
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2858
or
2859
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2860
2861
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2862
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2863
2864
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2865
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2866
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2867
2868
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2869
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2870
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2871
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2872
2873
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2874
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2875
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2876
2877
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2878
2879
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2880
2881
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2882
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2883
commits::
2884
2885
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2886
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2887
| xargs bzr re-sign
2888
2889
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2890
2891
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2892
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2893
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2894
(Robert Collins)
2895
2896
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2897
2898
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2899
2900
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2901
'.moved'.
2902
2903
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2904
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2905
2906
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2907
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2908
Daniel Silverstone)
2909
2910
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2911
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2912
Martin Pool)
2913
2914
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2915
2916
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2917
2918
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2919
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2920
2921
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2922
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2923
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2924
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2925
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2926
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2927
2928
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2929
2930
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2931
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2932
(Robert Collins)
2933
2934
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2935
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2936
2937
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2938
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2939
2940
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2941
2942
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2943
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2944
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2945
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2946
specification by Martin Pool.
2947
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2948
2949
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2950
Belchenko)
2951
2952
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2953
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2954
2955
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2956
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2957
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2958
2959
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2960
2961
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2962
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2963
(Robert Collins)
2964
2965
CHANGES:
2966
2967
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2968
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2969
2970
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2971
2972
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2973
2974
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2975
(Olaf Conradi)
2976
2977
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2978
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2979
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2980
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2981
2982
INTERNALS:
2983
2984
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2985
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2986
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2987
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2988
2989
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2990
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2991
tried. (Martin Pool)
2992
2993
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2994
(Martin Pool)
2995
2996
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2997
2998
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2999
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3000
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3001
3002
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3003
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3004
3005
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3006
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3007
paths. (Robert Collins)
3008
3009
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3010
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3011
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3012
3013
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3014
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3015
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3016
3017
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3018
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3019
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3020
3021
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3022
(Olaf Conradi)
3023
3024
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3025
(Olaf Conradi)
3026
3027
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3028
3029
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3030
3031
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3032
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3033
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3034
(Robert Collins)
3035
3036
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3037
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3038
3039
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3040
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3041
check. (Robert Collins)
3042
3043
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3044
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3045
3046
TESTING:
3047
3048
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3049
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3050
3051
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3052
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3053
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3054
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3055
3056
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3057
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3058
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3059
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3060
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3061
3062
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3063
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3064
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3065
3066
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3067
3068
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3069
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3070

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3072
==================
3073
3074
CHANGES:
3075
3076
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3077
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3078
3079
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3080
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3081
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3082
(Johan Rydberg)
3083
3084
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3085
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3086
3087
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3088
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3089
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3090
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3091
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3092
3093
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3094
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3095
used. (Robert Collins)
3096
3097
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3098
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3099
(James Henstridge)
3100
3101
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3102
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3103
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3104
3105
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3106
ignore list.
3107
3108
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3109
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3110
3111
IMPROVEMENTS:
3112
3113
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3114
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3115
3116
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3117
3118
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3119
3120
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3121
tree. (Robert Collins)
3122
3123
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3124
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3125
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3126
(Robert Collins)
3127
3128
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3129
that they be kept.
3130
3131
* Tweaks to short log printing
3132
3133
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3134
(Aaron Bentley)
3135
3136
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3137
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3138
3139
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3140
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3141
3142
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3143
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3144
3145
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3146
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3147
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3148
3149
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3150
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3151
3152
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3153
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3154
requests.
3155
3156
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3157
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3158
3159
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3160
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3161
3162
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3163
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3164
3165
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3166
(Denys Duchier)
3167
3168
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3169
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3170
3171
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3172
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3173
3174
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3175
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3176
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3177
3178
BUG FIXES:
3179
3180
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3183
3184
* Error when run with -OO
3185
3186
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3187
(Martin Pool)
3188
3189
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3190
3191
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3192
3193
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3194
ignored by diff and status
3195
3196
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3197
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3198
3199
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3200
3201
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3202
3203
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3204
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3205
3206
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3207
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3208
3209
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3210
(Harald Meland)
3211
3212
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3213
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3214
3215
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3216
3217
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3218
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3219
3220
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3221
(Martin Pool)
3222
3223
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3224
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3225
3226
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3227
3228
TESTING:
3229
3230
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3231
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3232
3233
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3234
3235
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3236
3237
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3238
3239
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3240
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3241
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3242
3243
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3244
3245
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3246
(John Arbash Meinel)
3247
3248
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3249
3250
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3251
If adding a new test script please add that to
3252
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3253
3254
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3255
imported. (Martin Pool)
3256
3257
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3258
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3259
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3260
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3261
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3262
(Robert Collins)
3263
3264
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3265
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3266
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3267
3268
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3269
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3270
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3271
3272
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3273
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3274
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3275
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3276
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3277
(Robert Collins).
3278
3279
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3280
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3281
(Robert Collins).
3282
3283
INTERNALS:
3284
3285
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3286
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3289
function. (Robert Collins)
3290
3291
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3292
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3293
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3294
3295
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3296
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3297
(Robert Collins)
3298
3299
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3300
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3301
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3302
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3303
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3304
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3305
version. (Robert Collins)
3306
3307
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3308
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3309
3310
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3311
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3312
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3313
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3314
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3315
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3316
3317
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3318
(Robert Collins)
3319
3320
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3321
3322
add()
3323
commit()
3324
move()
3325
rename_one()
3326
unknowns()
3327
3328
(Robert Collins)
3329
3330
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3331
3332
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3333
3334
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3335
Pool)
3336
3337
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3338
query method. (Robert Collins)
3339
3340
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3341
(Denys Duchier)
3342
3343
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3344
(Michael Ellerman)
3345
3346
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3347
(Michael Ellerman)
3348
3349
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3350
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3351
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3352
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3353
3354
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3355
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3356
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3357
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3358
3359
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3360
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3361
3362
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3363
==================
3364
3365
IMPROVEMENTS:
3366
3367
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3368
(John A Meinel)
3369
3370
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3371
conflicts.
3372
(Aaron Bentley)
3373
3374
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3375
a separator, not ':'.
3376
(Aaron Bentley)
3377
3378
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3379
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3380
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3381
3382
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3383
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3384
(Robert Collins)
3385
3386
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3387
has been added that suppresses all output.
3388
3389
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3390
Adams.
3391
3392
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3393
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3394
3395
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3396
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3397
3398
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3399
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3402
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3403
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3404
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3405
3406
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3407
3408
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3409
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3410
3411
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3412
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3413
3414
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3415
output directory, if one was supplied.
3416
3417
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3418
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3419
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3420
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3421
3422
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3423
3424
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3425
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3426
3427
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3428
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3429
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3430
3431
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3432
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3433
3434
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3435
(Aaron Bentley)
3436
3437
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3438
3439
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3440
3441
TESTING:
3442
3443
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3444
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3445
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3446
3447
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3448
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3449
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3450
3451
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3452
is given. (Martin Pool)
3453
3454
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3455
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3456
file. (Robert Collins)
3457
3458
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3459
(Martin Pool)
3460
3461
INTERNALS:
3462
3463
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3464
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3465
representation. (Martin Pool).
3466
3467
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3468
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3469
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3470
3471
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3472
(Robert Collins)
3473
3474
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3475
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3476
Magnus Therning.
3477
3478
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3479
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3480
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3481
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3482
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3483
3484
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3485
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3486
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3487
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3488
python path. (Robert Collins)
3489
3490
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3491
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3492
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3493
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3496
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3497
3498
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3499
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3500
(Robert Collins)
3501
3502
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3503
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3504
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3505
3506
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3507
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3508
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3511
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3512
3513
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3514
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3515
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3516
(Robert Collins)
3517
3518
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3519
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3520
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3521
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3522
(Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3525
(Robert Collins)
3526
3527
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3528
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3529
(Robert Collins)
3530
3531
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3532
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3533
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3534
3535
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3536
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3537
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3538
3539
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3540
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3541
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3542
3543
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3544
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3545
3546
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3547
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3548
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3549
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3550
caller. (Robert Collins)
3551
3552
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3553
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3554
(Robert Collins).
3555
3556
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3557
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3558
(Aaron Bentley)
3559
3560
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3561
3562
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3563
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3564
3565
BUG FIXES:
3566
3567
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3568
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3569
3570
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3571
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3572

3574
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3575
====================
3576
3577
BUG FIXES:
3578
3579
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3580
allow directories to be listed.
3581
3582
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3583
upgrading branch format.
3584
3585
PERFORMANCE:
3586
3587
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3588
3589
3590
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3591
==================
3592
3593
NOTES:
3594
3595
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3596
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3597
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3598
high-latency connections.
3599
3600
BUG FIXES:
3601
3602
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3603
Rob Weir.
3604
3605
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3606
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3607
3608
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3609
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3610
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3611
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3612
3613
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3614
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3615
3616
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3617
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3618
3619
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3620
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3621
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3622
3623
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3624
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3625
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3626
Robert Collins
3627
3628
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3629
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3630
3631
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3632
different partial views of history.
3633
3634
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3635
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3636
3637
IMPROVEMENTS:
3638
3639
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3640
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3641
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3642
3643
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3644
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3645
'bzr upgrade'.
3646
3647
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3648
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3649
3650
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3651
Niemeyer.
3652
3653
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3654
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3655
3656
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3657
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3658
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3659
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3660
3661
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3662
3663
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3664
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3665
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3666
3667
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3668
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3669
3670
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3671
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3672
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3673
3674
3675
INTERNALS:
3676
3677
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3678
for your viewing pleasure.
3679
3680
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3681
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3682
3683
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3684
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3685
handling of such circumstances.
3686
3687
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3688
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3689
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3690
3691
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3692
3693
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3694
we call them revisions not patches.
3695
3696
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3697
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3698
3699
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3700
giving the revision *of that file*.
3701
3702
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3703
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3704
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3705
3706
TESTING:
3707
3708
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3709
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3710
3711
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3712
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3713
3714
3715
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3716
====================
3717
3718
BUG FIXES:
3719
3720
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3721
3722
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3723
(Robert Collins).
3724
3725
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3726
3727
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3728
3729
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3730
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3731
3732
IMPROVEMENTS:
3733
3734
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3735
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3736
3737
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3738
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3739
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3740
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3741
Robey Pointer
3742
3743
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3744
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3745
3746
INTERNALS:
3747
3748
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3749
3750
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3751
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3752
3753
3754
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3755
====================
3756
3757
IMPROVEMENTS:
3758
3759
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3760
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3761
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3762
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3763
Michael Ellerman.
3764
3765
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3766
(Nir Soffer)
3767
3768
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3769
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3770
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3771
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3772
for the operating system is still tried.
3773
3774
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3775
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3776
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3777
3778
3779
INTERNALS:
3780
3781
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3782
3783
BUG FIXES:
3784
3785
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3786
3787
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3788
branch.
3789
3790
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3791
read.
3792
3793
3794
PORTABILITY:
3795
3796
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3797
3798
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3799
3800
3801
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3802
====================
3803
3804
NEW FEATURES:
3805
3806
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3807
help with intelligent shell completion.
3808
3809
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3810
3811
3812
ENHANCEMENTS:
3813
3814
* Much better merge support.
3815
3816
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3817
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3818
like emacs smerge.
3819
3820
3821
BUG FIXES:
3822
3823
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3824
mention revisions that are not present.
3825
3826
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3827
3828
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3829
3830
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3831
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3832
3833
3834
CHANGES:
3835
3836
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3837
3838
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3839
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3840
--help themselves.
3841
3842
3843
LIBRARY:
3844
3845
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3846
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3847
libraries.
3848
3849
3850
3851
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3852
====================
3853
3854
NEW FEATURES:
3855
3856
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3857
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3858
3859
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3860
3861
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3862
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3863
3864
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3865
FOO.
3866
3867
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3868
3869
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3870
the Unix command.
3871
3872
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3873
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3874
3875
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3876
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3877
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3878
3879
3880
ENHANCEMENTS:
3881
3882
* Faster working tree operations.
3883
3884
3885
CHANGES:
3886
3887
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3888
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3889
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3890
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3891
3892
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3893
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3894
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3895
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3896
standard plugins directory.
3897
3898
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3899
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3900
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3901
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3902
3903
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3904
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3905
3906
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3907
disk.
3908
3909
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3910
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3911
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3912
3913
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3914
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3915
3916
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3917
line options must come before the command name because they
3918
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3919
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3920
it.
3921
3922
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3923
3924
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3925
is available with ``--short``.
3926
3927
3928
BUG FIXES:
3929
3930
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3931
3932
3933
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3934
=====================
3935
3936
CHANGES:
3937
3938
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3939
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3940
3941
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3942
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3943
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3944
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3945
3946
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3947
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3948
with the ``--forward`` option.
3949
3950
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3951
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3952
field.
3953
3954
3955
ENHANCEMENTS:
3956
3957
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3958
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3959
3960
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3961
3962
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3963
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3964
3965
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3966
3967
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3968
either read or write mode.
3969
3970
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3971
3972
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3973
affected that file.
3974
3975
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3976
3977
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3978
suggested by LarstiQ.
3979
3980
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3981
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3982
3983
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3984
a filename.
3985
3986
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3987
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3988
3989
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3990
haven't changed since the previous time.
3991
3992
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3993
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3994
3995
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3996
3997
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3998
3999
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4000
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4001
4002
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4003
options through to an external GNU diff.
4004
4005
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4006
their contents.
4007
4008
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4009
from a branch.
4010
4011
4012
BUG FIXES:
4013
4014
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4015
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4016
4017
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4018
metacharacters.
4019
4020
4021
TESTING:
4022
4023
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4024
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4025
the tests.
4026
4027
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4028
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4029
4030
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4031
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4032
4033
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4034
under a different version.
4035
4036
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4037
4038
4039
INTERNAL:
4040
4041
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4042
4043
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4044
Scott James Remnant.
4045
4046
* Better help messages for many commands.
4047
4048
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4049
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4050
4051
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4052
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4053
4054
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4055
4056
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4057
4058
* New AtomicFile class.
4059
4060
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4061
4062
4063
PORTABILITY:
4064
4065
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4066
2.4 is now only recommended.
4067
4068
4069
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4070
=====================
4071
4072
ENHANCEMENTS:
4073
4074
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4075
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4076
4077
* More default ignore patterns.
4078
4079
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4080
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4081
4082
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4083
4084
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4085
by Jason Diamon.
4086
4087
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4088
4089
4090
CHANGES:
4091
4092
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4093
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4094
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4095
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4096
there are DNS problems.
4097
4098
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4099
4100
4101
BUG FIXES:
4102
4103
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4104
4105
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4106
4107
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4108
trailing newlines properly.
4109
4110
4111
INTERNAL:
4112
4113
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4114
Matt Brubeck.
4115
4116
* More tests in test.sh.
4117
4118
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4119
directory and delete it when done.
4120
4121
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4122
4123
4124
PORTABILITY:
4125
4126
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4127
Bennetts.
4128
4129
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4130
from QuantumG.

4132
4133
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4134
=====================
4135
4136
ENHANCEMENTS:
4137
4138
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4139
in the tree.
4140
4141
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4142
4143
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4144
and/or directory.
4145
4146
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4147
directory.
4148
4149
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4150
4151
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4152
4153
CHANGES:
4154
4155
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4156
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4157
will do for now.)
4158
4159
PORTABILITY:
4160
4161
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4162
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4163
Nielsen.
4164
4165
INTERNAL:
4166
4167
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4168
4169
TESTING:
4170
4171
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4172

4174
bzr-0.0.2.1
4175
===========
4176
4177
PORTABILITY:

4182
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4183
===================================
4184
4185
ENHANCEMENTS:
4186
4187
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4188
4189
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4190
rather than replacing it.
4191
4192
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4193
4194
* More help topics.
4195
4196
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4197
branch.
4198
4199
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4200
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4201
4202
* Performance improvements.
4203
4204
* New global --profile option.
4205
4206
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4207
the root directory only.
4208
4209
4210
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4211

4212
4213
ENHANCEMENTS:
4214
