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
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
63
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
64
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
65
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
66
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
67
68
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
69
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
70
paramiko.
71
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
72
73
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
74
75
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
76
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
77
78
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
79
contains a symbolic link.
80
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
81
82
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
83
will remain opened.
84
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
85
86
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
87
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
88
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
89
90
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
91
(Rob Weir, #141629)
92
93
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
94
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
95
96
API BREAKS:
97
98
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
99
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
100
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
101
102
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
103
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
104
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
105
106
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
107
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
108
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
109
(Robert Collins)
110
111
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
112
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
113
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
114
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
115
(Robert Collins)
116
117
INTERNALS:
118
119
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
120
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
121
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
122
123
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
124
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
125
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
126
127
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
128
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
129
130
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
131
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
132
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
133
134
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
135
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
136
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
137
returned. (Robert Collins)
138
139
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
140
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
141
142
TESTING:
143
144
145
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
146
======================
147
148
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
149
in bzrlib/remote.py.
150
151
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
152
======================
153
154
CHANGES:
155
156
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
157
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
158
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
159
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
160
(Martin Pool)
161
162
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
163
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
164
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
165
(Ian Clatworthy)
166
167
FEATURES:
168
169
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
170
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
171
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
172
(Lukáš Lalinský)
173
174
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
175
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
176
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
177
178
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
179
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
180
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
181
182
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
183
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
184
185
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
186
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
187
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
188
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
189
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
190
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
191
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
192
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
193
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
194
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
195
196
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
197
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
198
199
BUG FIXES:
200
201
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
202
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
203
204
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
205
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
206
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
207
208
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
209
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
210
211
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
212
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
213
214
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
215
(Aaron Bentley)
216
217
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
218
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
219
220
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
221
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
222
223
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
224
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
225
226
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
227
(Blake Winton, #129299)
228
229
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
230
231
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
232
Watkins, #106726)
233
234
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
235
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
236
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
237
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
238
239
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
240
241
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
242
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
243
#133548)
244
245
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
246
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
247
248
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
249
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
250
#116143)
251
252
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
253
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
254
255
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
256
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
257
258
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
259
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
260
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
261
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
262
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
263
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
264
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
265
266
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
267
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
268
269
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
270
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
271
272
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
273
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
274
275
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
277
278
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
279
connections.
280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
281
282
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
283
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
284
285
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
286
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
287
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
288
289
IMPROVEMENTS:
290
291
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
292
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
293
294
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
295
(Aaron Bentley)
296
297
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
298
(Aaron Bentley)
299
300
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
301
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
302
303
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
304
305
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
306
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
307
308
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
309
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
310
311
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
312
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
313
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
314
space). (Robert Collins)
315
316
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
317
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
318
(Ian Clatworthy)
319
320
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
321
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
322
323
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
324
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
325
326
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
327
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
328
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
329
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
330
331
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
332
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
333
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
334
(Lukáš Lalinský)
335
336
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
337
(Ian Clatworthy)
338
339
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
340
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
341
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
342
343
API BREAKS:
344
345
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
346
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
347
348
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
349
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
350
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
351
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
352
affected. (Robert Collins)
353
354
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
355
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
356
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
357
(Robert Collins)
358
359
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
360
previous release. (Martin Pool)
361
362
TESTING:
363
364
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
365
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
366
367
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
368
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
369
370
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
371
previous release. (Martin Pool)
372
373
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
374
(Aaron Bentley)
375
376
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
377
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
378
379
INTERNALS:
380
381
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
382
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
383
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
384
its version information. (Robert Collins)
385
386
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
387
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
388
389
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
390
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
391
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
392
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
393
394
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
395
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
396
present. (Robert Collins)
397
398
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
399
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
400
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
401
API. (Robert Collins)
402
403
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
404
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
405
(Robert Collins)
406
407
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
408
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
409
410
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
411
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
412
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
413
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
414
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
415
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
416
417
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
418
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
419
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
420
421
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
422
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
423
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
424
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
425
protocol.
426
427
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
428
(Aaron Bentley)
429
430
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
431
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
432
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
433
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
434
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
435
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
436
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
437
438
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
439
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
440
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
441
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
442
443
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
444
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
445
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
446
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
447
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
448
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
449
450
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
451
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
452
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
453
454
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
455
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
456

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
459
===================
460
461
IMPROVEMENTS:
462
463
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
464
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
465
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
466
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
467
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
468
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
469
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
470
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
471
472
473
API CHANGES:
474
475
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
476
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
477
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
478
479
480
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
481
======================
482
483
BUGFIXES:
484
485
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
486
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
487
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
488
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
489
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
490
491
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
492
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
493
494
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
495
anymore.
496
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
497
498
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
499
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
500
(Vincent Ladeuil)
501
502
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
503
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
504
#111664)
505
506
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
507
(Lukáš Lalinský)
508
509
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
510
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
511
512
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
513
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
514
515
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
516
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
517
518
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
519
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
520
521
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
522
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
523
524
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
525
(Aaron Bentley)
526
527
IMPROVEMENTS:
528
529
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
530
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
531
532
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
533
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
534
535
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
536
the repository (Robert Collins)
537
538
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
539
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
540
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
541
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
542
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
543
544
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
545
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
546
547
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
548
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
549
(John Arbash Meinel)
550
551
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
552
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
553
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
554
about 10%).
555
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
556
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
557
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
558
(John Arbash Meinel)
559
560
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
561
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
562
(Robert Collins)
563
564
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
565
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
566
567
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
568
(Ian Clatworthy)
569
570
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
571
572
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
573
574
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
575
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
576
577
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
578
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
579
Meinel)
580
581
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
582
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
583
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
584
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
585
586
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
587
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
588
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
589
590
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
591
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
592
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
593
594
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
595
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
596
597
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
598
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
599
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
600
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
601
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
602
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
603
(Ian Clatworthy)
604
605
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
606
(Alexander Belchenko)
607
608
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
609
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
610
611
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
612
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
613
614
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
615
616
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
617
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
618
619
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
620
621
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
622
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
623
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
624
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
625
626
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
627
628
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
629
(Robert Collins)
630
631
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
632
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
633
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
634
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
635
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
636
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
637
638
INTERNALS:
639
640
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
641
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
642
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
643
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
644
645
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
646
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
647
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
648
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
649
tests have been refactored too.
650
(Vincent Ladeuil)
651
652
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
653
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
654
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
655
list, it will.
656
(Vincent Ladeuil)
657
658
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
659
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
660
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
661
662
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
663
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
664
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
665
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
666
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
667
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
668
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
669
670
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
671
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
672
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
673
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
674
(John Arbash Meinel)
675
676
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
677
functionality for testing.
678
679
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
680
681
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
682
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
683
684
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
685
686
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
687
(Robert Collins)
688
689
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
690
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
691
692
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
693
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
694
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
695
696
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
697
(Aaron Bentley)
698
699
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
700
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
701
702
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
703
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
704
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
705
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
706
707
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
708
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
709
710
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
711
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
712
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
713
714
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
715
(Marius Kruger)
716
717
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
718
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
719
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
720
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
721
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
722
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
723
724
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
725
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
726
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
727
many files. (Robert Collins)
728
729
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
730
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
731
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
732
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
733
734
TESTING:
735
736
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
737
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
738
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
739
740
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
741
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
742
743
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
744
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
745
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
757
=======================
758
759
BUGFIXES:
760
761
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
762
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
763
764
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
765
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
766
(James Westby, #122656)
767
768
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
769
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
770
771
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
772
authentication header.
773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
774
775
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
776
777
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
778
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
779
780
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
781
782
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
784
785
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
786
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
788
789
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
790
individually and as part of revision ranges.
791
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
792
793
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
794
(Martin Pool, #109169)
795
796
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
798
799
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
800
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
801
802
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
803
804
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
805
806
IMPROVEMENTS:
807
808
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
809
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
810
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
811
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
812
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
813
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
814
815
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
816
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
817
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
818
819
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
820
(Elliot Murphy)
821
822
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
823
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
824
825
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
826
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
827
828
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
829
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
830
831
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
832
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
833
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
834
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
835
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
836
837
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
838
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
839
840
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
841
can be slow it is useful feedback).
842
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
843
844
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
845
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
846
847
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
848
849
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
850
output. (Aaron Bentley)
851
852
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
853
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
854
(Robert Collins)
855
856
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
857
(Martin Pool)
858
859
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
860
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
861
862
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
863
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
864
865
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
866
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
867
868
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
869
870
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
871
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
872
873
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
874
(Andrew Bennetts)
875
876
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
877
878
* Testing cleanups -
879
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
880
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
881
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
882
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
883
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
884
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
885
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
886
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
887
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
888
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
889
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
890
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
891
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
892
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
893
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
894
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
895
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
896
(Robert Collins)
897
898
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
899
900
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
901
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
902
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
903
904
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
905
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
906
907
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
908
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
909
910
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
911
912
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
913
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
914
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
915
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
916
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
917
same location. (Robert Collins)
918
919
INTERNALS:
920
921
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
922
923
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
924
925
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
926
927
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
928
(Martin Pool)
929
930
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
931
(Martin Pool)
932
933
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
934
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
935
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
936
937
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
938
939
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
940
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
941
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
942
943
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
944
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
945
946
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
947
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
948
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
949
950
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
951
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
952
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
953
954
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
955
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
956
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
957
958
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
959
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
960
Martin Pool)
961
962
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
963
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
964
965
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
966
(Alexander Belchenko)
967
968
TESTING:
969
970
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
971
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
972
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
973
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
974
975
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
976
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
977
testing. (Robert Collins)
978
979
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
980
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
981
982
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
983
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
984
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
985
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
986
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
987
attribute during the test parameterisation in
988
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
989
990
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
991
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
992
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
993
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
994
995
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
996
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
997
998
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
999
avoid useless cloning.

1018
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1019
1020
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1021
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1022
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1023
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1024
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1025
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1026
and unlock() like so::
1027
1028
work_tree.lock_read()
1029
try:
1030
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1031
finally:
1032
work_tree.unlock()
1033
1034
INTERNALS:
1035
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1036
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1037
object.
1038
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1039
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1040
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1041
1042
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1043
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1044
too. (Robert Collins)
1045
1046
IMPROVEMENTS:
1047
1048
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1049
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1050
Aaron Bentley)
1051
1052
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1053
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1054
1055
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1056
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1057
1058
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1059
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1060
understanding what changes have occurred
1061
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1062
1063
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1064
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1065
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1066
1067
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1068
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1069
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1070
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1071
1072
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1073
#56322)
1074
1075
BUGFIXES:
1076
1077
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1078
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1079
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1080
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1081
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1082
1083
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1084
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1085
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1086
1087
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1088
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1089
1090
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1091
into account.
1092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1093
1094
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1095
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1096
1097
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1098
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1099
1100
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1101
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1102
1103
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1104
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1105
1106
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1107
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1108
1109
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1110
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1111
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1114
====================
1115
1116
BUGFIXES:
1117
1118
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1119
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1120
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1121
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1122
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1123
1124
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1125
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1126
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1127
1128
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1129
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1130
1131
IMPROVEMENTS:
1132
1133
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1134
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1135
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1136
1137
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1138
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1139
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1140
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1143
=======================
1144
1145
BUGFIXES:
1146
1147
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1148
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1149
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1150
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1151
1152
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1153
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1154
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1155
1156
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1157
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1158
1159
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1160
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1161
1162
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1163
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1165
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1166
=======================
1167
1168
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1169
1170
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1171
it could be recovered again.
1172
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1173
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1174
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1175
but not delete it.
1176
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1177
files.
1178
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1179
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1180
1181
IMPROVEMENTS:
1182
1183
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1184
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1185
1186
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1187
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1188
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1189
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1190
1191
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1192
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1193
1194
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1195
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1196
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1197
1198
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1199
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1200
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1201
1202
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1203
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1204
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1205
1206
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1207
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1208
Robert Collins)
1209
1210
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1211
Pool)
1212
1213
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1214
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1215
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1216
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1217
1218
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1219
(Robert Collins)
1220
1221
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1222
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1223
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1224
(Robert Collins)
1225
1226
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1227
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1228
1229
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1230
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1231
1232
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1233
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1234
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1235
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1236
(Robert Collins)
1237
1238
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1239
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1240
1241
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1242
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1243
1244
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1245
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1246
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1247
1248
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1249
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1250
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1251
1252
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1253
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1254
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1255
1256
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1257
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1258
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1259
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1260
1261
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1262
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1263
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1264
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1265
1266
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1267
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1268
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1269
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1270
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1271
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1272
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1273
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1274
header(s).
1275
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1276
1277
INTERNALS:
1278
1279
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1280
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1281
1282
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1283
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1284
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1285
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1286
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1287
1288
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1289
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1290
1291
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1292
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1293
1294
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1295
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1296
1297
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1298
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1299
1300
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1301
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1302
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1303
(Robert Collins).
1304
1305
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1306
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1307
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1308
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1309
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1310
(Robert Collins)
1311
1312
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1313
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1314
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1315
1316
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1317
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1318
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1319
1320
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1321
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1322
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1323
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1324
1325
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1326
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1327
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1328
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1329
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1330
1331
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1332
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1333
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1334
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1335
1336
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1337
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1338
1339
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1340
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1341
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1342
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1343
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1344
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1345
1346
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1347
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1350
help. (Robert Collins)
1351
1352
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1353
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1354
1355
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1356
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1357
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1358
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1359
(John Arbash Meinel)
1360
1361
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1362
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1363
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1364
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1365
useful. (Robert Collins)
1366
1367
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1368
(Andrew Bennetts)
1369
1370
BUGFIXES:
1371
1372
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.

* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1376
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1377
1378
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1379
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1380
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1381
1382
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1383
(Aaron Bentley)
1384
1385
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1386
the file, and does it faster.
1387
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1388
1389
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1390
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1391
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1392
1393
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1394
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1395
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1396
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1397
1398
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1399
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1400
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1401
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1402
1403
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1404
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1405
1406
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1407
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1408
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1409
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1410
Arbash Meinel)
1411
1412
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1413
1414
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1415
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1416
1417
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1418
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1419
1420
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1421
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1422
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1423
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1424
security hole.
1425
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1426
1427
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1429
1430
TESTING:
1431
1432
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1433
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1434
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1435
1436
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1437
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1438
1439
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1440
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1441
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1442
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1443
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1444
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1445
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1446
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1447
1448
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1449
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1450
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1451
1452
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1453
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1454
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1455
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1456
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1457
access.
1458
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1459
1460
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1461
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1462
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1463
1464
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1465
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1466

BUGFIXES:
1472
1473
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1474
(Aaron Bentley)
1475

1481
=======================
1482
1483
CHANGES:
1484
1485
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1486
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1487
(Martin Pool)
1488
1489
IMPROVEMENTS:
1490
1491
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1492
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1493
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1494
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1495
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1496
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1497
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1498
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1499
path. (vila)
1500
1501
INTERNALS:
1502
1503
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1504
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1505
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1506
1507
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1508
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1509
(Martin Pool)
1510
1511
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1512
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1513
(John Arbash Meinel)
1514
1515
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1516
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1517
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1518
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1519
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1520
1521
BUGFIXES:
1522
1523
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1524
(vila, #92195)
1525
1526
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1527
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1528
1529
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1530
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1531
1532
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1533
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1534
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1535
1536
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1537
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1538
1539
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1540
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1541
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1542
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1543
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1544
1545
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1546
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1547
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1548
1549
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1553
=======================
1554
1555
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1556
1557
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1558
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1559
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1560
1561
IMPROVEMENTS:
1562
1563
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1564
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1565
1566
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1567
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1568
1569
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1570
1571
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1572
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1573
1574
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1575
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1576
1577
INTERNALS:
1578
1579
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1580
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1581
1582
BUGFIXES:
1583
1584
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1585
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1586
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1587
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1588
1589
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1590
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1591
1592
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1593
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1594
1595
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1596
(Marien Zwart)
1597
1598
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1599
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

1602
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1603
=======================
1604
1605
SURPRISES:
1606
1607
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1608
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1609
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1610
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1611
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1612
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1613
1614
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1615
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1616
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1617
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1618
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1619
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1620
development.
1621
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1622
1623
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1624
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1625
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1626
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1627
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1628
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1629
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1630
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1631
1632
IMPROVEMENTS:
1633
1634
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1635
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1636
1637
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1638
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1639
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1640
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1641
does exist.
1642
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1643
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1644
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1645
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1646
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1647
1648
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1649
(Aaron Bentley)
1650
1651
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1652
(Aaron Bentley)
1653
1654
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1655
(Robert Collins)
1656
1657
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1658
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1659
(Aaron Bentley)
1660
1661
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1662
(Aaron Bentley)
1663
1664
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1665
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1666
1667
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1668
directory. (Martin Pool)
1669
1670
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1671
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1672
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1673
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1674
1675
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1676
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1677
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1678
in docs/configuration.txt.
1679
1680
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1681
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1682
bind location.
1683
1684
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1685
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1686
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1687
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1688
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1689
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1690
1691
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1692
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1693
1694
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1695
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1696
1697
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1698
(Aaron Bentley)
1699
1700
INTERNALS:
1701
1702
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1703
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1704
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1705
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1706
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1707
(John Arbash Meinel)
1708
1709
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1710
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1711
(Aaron Bentley)
1712
1713
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1714
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1715
(John Arbash Meinel)
1716
1717
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1718
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1719
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1720
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1721
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1722
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1723
1724
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1725
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1726
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1727
1728
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1729
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1730
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1731
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1732
repository.
1733
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1734
1735
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1736
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1737
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1738
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1739
1740
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1741
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1742
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1743
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1744
1745
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1746
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1747
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1748
1749
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1750
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1751
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1752
1753
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1754
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1755
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1756
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1757
1758
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1759
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1760
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1761
1762
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1763
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1764
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1765
1766
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1767
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1768
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1769
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1770
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1771
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1772
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1773
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1774
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1775
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1776
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1777
1778
BUGFIXES:
1779
1780
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1781
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1782
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1783
1784
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1785
(Aaron Bentley)
1786
1787
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1788
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1789
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1790
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1791
1792
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1793
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1794
#83954).
1795
1796
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1797
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1798
1799
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1800
1801
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1802
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1803
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1804
1805
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1806
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1807
1808
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1810
1811
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1813
1814
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1815
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1816
1817
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1818
1819
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1820
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1821
1822
TESTING:
1823
1824
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1825
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

1829
====================
1830
1831
IMPROVEMENTS:
1832
1833
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1834
1835
BUG FIXES:
1836
1837
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1838
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1839
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1840
1841
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1842
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1843
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1846
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1847
=======================
1848
1849
IMPROVEMENTS:
1850
1851
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1852
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1853
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1854
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1855
1856
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1857
(Marius Kruger)
1858
1859
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1860
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1861
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1862
1863
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1864
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1865
1866
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1867
(Aaron Bentley)
1868
1869
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1870
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1871
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1872
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1873
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1874
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1875
1876
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1877
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1878
should enable you to do::
1879
1880
[/home/user/project]
1881
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1882
push_location:policy = appendpath
1883
1884
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1885
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1886
(James Henstridge)
1887
1888
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1889
for each file. For example::
1890
1891
$ bzr status --short
1892
A foo
1893
A bar
1894
D baz
1895
? wooley
1896
1897
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1898
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1899
1900
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1901
1902
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1903
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1904
1905
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1906
1907
INTERNALS:
1908
1909
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1910
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1911
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1912
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1913
1914
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1915
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1916
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1917
1918
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1919
1920
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1921
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1922
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1923
(Alexander Belchenko)
1924
1925
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1926
Pool)
1927
1928
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1929
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1930
1931
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1932
1933
BUG FIXES:
1934
1935
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1936
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1937
1938
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1939
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1940
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1941
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1942
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1943
1944
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1945
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1946
1947
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1948
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1949
1950
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1951
matcher.
1952
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1953
1954
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1955
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1956
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1957
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1958
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1959
1960
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1961
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1962
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1963
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1964
1965
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1966
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1967
1968
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1969
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1970
1971
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1972
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1973
1974
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

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

1986
IMPROVEMENTS:
1987
1988
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1989
tree from a branch.
1990
(Daniel Silverstone)
1991
1992
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1993
operations are substantially faster.
1994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1995
1996
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1997
tree from some other url. For example:
1998
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1999
(Daniel Silverstone)
2000
2001
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2002
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2003
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2004
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2005
2006
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2007
(Andrew Bennetts)
2008
2009
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2010
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2011
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2012
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2013
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2014
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2015
2016
INTERNALS:
2017
2018
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2019
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2020
(Martin Pool)
2021
2022
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2023
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2024
(John Arbash Meinel)
2025
2026
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2027
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2028
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2029
(John Arbash Meinel)
2030
2031
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2032
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2033
2034
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2035
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2036
2037
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2038
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2039
Bennetts)
2040
2041
BUG FIXES:
2042
2043
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2044
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2045
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2046
2047
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2048
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2049
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2050
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2051
2052
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2053
2054
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2055
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2056
2057
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2058
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2059
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2060
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2061
2062
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2063
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2064
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2065
2066
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2067
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2068
them as full references rather than integers.
2069
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2070
2071
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2072
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2073
2074
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2075
2076
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2077
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2078
2079
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2080
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2081
2082
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2083
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2084
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2085
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2086
2087
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2088
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2089
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2090
2091
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2092
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2093
2094
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2095
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2096
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2097
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2098
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2099
2100
TESTING:
2101
2102
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2103
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2106
====================
2107
2108
INTERNALS:
2109
2110
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2111
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2112
(John Arbash Meinel)
2113
2114
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2115
=======================
2116
2117
IMPROVEMENTS:
2118
2119
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2120
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2121
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2122
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2123
2124
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2125
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2126
2127
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2128
2129
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2130
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2131
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2132
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2133
2134
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2135
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2136
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2137
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2138
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2139
2140
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2141
2142
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2143
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2144
2145
INTERNALS:
2146
2147
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2148
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2149
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2150
2151
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2152
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2153
(John Arbash Meinel)
2154
2155
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2156
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2157
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2158
2159
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2160
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2161
(Aaron Bentley)
2162
2163
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2164
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2165
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2166
2167
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2168
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2169
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2170
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2171
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2172
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2173
2174
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2175
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2176
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2177
(Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2180
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2181
2182
BUG FIXES:
2183
2184
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2185
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2186
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2187
#63360, #66349)
2188
2189
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2190
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2191
2192
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2193
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2194
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2195
2196
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2197
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2198
2199
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2200
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2201
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2202
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2203
2204
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2205
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2206
2207
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2208
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2209
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2210
2211
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2212
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2213
2214
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2215
2216
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2217
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2218
#32054)
2219
2220
TESTING:
2221
2222
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2223
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2224
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2225
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2226
2227
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2228
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2229
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2230
2231
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

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

* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2702
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2703
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2704
2705
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2706
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2707
2708
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2709
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2710
2711
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2712
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2713
2714
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2715
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2716
2717
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2718
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2719
2720
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2721
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2722
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2723
2724
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2725
2726
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2727
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2728
2729
INTERNALS:
2730
2731
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2732
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2733
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2734
2735
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2736
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2737
2738
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2739
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2740
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2741
2742
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2743
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2744
2745
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2746
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2747
(Martin Pool)
2748
2749
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2750
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2751
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2752
2753
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2754
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2755
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2756
2757
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2758
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2759
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2760
2761
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2762
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2763
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2764
2765
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2766
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2767
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2768
2769
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2770
instead. (Robert Collins)
2771
2772
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2829
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2830
===================
2831
2832
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2833
2834
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2835
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2836
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2837
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2838
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2839
will keep the same format.
2840
2841
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2842
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2843
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2844
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2845
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2846
2847
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2848
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2849
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2850
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2851
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2852
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2853
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2854
2855
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2856
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2857
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2858
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2859
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2860
2861
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2862
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2863
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2864
arrangement.
2865
2866
2867
IMPROVEMENTS:
2868
2869
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2870
convention. Paths now take the form::
2871
2872
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2873
or
2874
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2875
2876
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2877
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2878
2879
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2880
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2881
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2882
2883
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2884
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2885
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2886
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2887
2888
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2889
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2890
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2891
2892
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2893
2894
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2895
2896
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2897
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2898
commits::
2899
2900
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2901
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2902
| xargs bzr re-sign
2903
2904
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2905
2906
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2907
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2908
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2909
(Robert Collins)
2910
2911
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2912
2913
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2914
2915
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2916
'.moved'.
2917
2918
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2919
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2920
2921
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2922
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2923
Daniel Silverstone)
2924
2925
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2926
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2927
Martin Pool)
2928
2929
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2930
2931
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2932
2933
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2934
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2935
2936
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2937
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2938
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2939
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2940
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2941
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2942
2943
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2944
2945
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2946
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2947
(Robert Collins)
2948
2949
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2950
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2951
2952
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2953
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2954
2955
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2956
2957
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2958
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2959
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2960
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2961
specification by Martin Pool.
2962
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2963
2964
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2965
Belchenko)
2966
2967
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2968
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2969
2970
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2971
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2972
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2973
2974
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2975
2976
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2977
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2978
(Robert Collins)
2979
2980
CHANGES:
2981
2982
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2983
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2984
2985
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2986
2987
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2988
2989
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2990
(Olaf Conradi)
2991
2992
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2993
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2994
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2995
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2996
2997
INTERNALS:
2998
2999
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3000
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3001
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3002
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3003
3004
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3005
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3006
tried. (Martin Pool)
3007
3008
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3009
(Martin Pool)
3010
3011
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3012
3013
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3014
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3015
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3016
3017
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3018
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3019
3020
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3021
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3022
paths. (Robert Collins)
3023
3024
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3025
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3026
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3027
3028
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3029
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3030
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3031
3032
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3033
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3034
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3035
3036
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3037
(Olaf Conradi)
3038
3039
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3040
(Olaf Conradi)
3041
3042
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3043
3044
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3045
3046
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3047
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3048
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3049
(Robert Collins)
3050
3051
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3052
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3053
3054
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3055
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3056
check. (Robert Collins)
3057
3058
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3059
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3060
3061
TESTING:
3062
3063
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3064
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3065
3066
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3067
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3068
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3069
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3070
3071
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3072
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3073
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3074
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3075
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3076
3077
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3078
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3079
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3080
3081
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3082
3083
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3084
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3087
==================
3088
3089
CHANGES:
3090
3091
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3092
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3093
3094
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3095
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3096
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3097
(Johan Rydberg)
3098
3099
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3100
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3101
3102
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3103
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3104
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3105
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3106
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3107
3108
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3109
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3110
used. (Robert Collins)
3111
3112
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3113
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3114
(James Henstridge)
3115
3116
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3117
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3118
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3119
3120
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3121
ignore list.
3122
3123
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3124
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3125
3126
IMPROVEMENTS:
3127
3128
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3129
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3130
3131
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3132
3133
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3134
3135
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3136
tree. (Robert Collins)
3137
3138
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3139
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3140
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3141
(Robert Collins)
3142
3143
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3144
that they be kept.
3145
3146
* Tweaks to short log printing
3147
3148
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3149
(Aaron Bentley)
3150
3151
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3152
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3153
3154
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3155
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3156
3157
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3158
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3159
3160
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3161
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3162
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3163
3164
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3165
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3166
3167
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3168
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3169
requests.
3170
3171
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3172
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3173
3174
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3175
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3176
3177
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3178
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3179
3180
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3181
(Denys Duchier)
3182
3183
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3184
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3185
3186
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3187
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3188
3189
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3190
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3191
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3192
3193
BUG FIXES:
3194
3195
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3196
3197
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3198
3199
* Error when run with -OO
3200
3201
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3202
(Martin Pool)
3203
3204
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3205
3206
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3207
3208
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3209
ignored by diff and status
3210
3211
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3212
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3213
3214
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3215
3216
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3217
3218
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3219
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3220
3221
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3222
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3223
3224
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3225
(Harald Meland)
3226
3227
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3228
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3229
3230
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3231
3232
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3233
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3234
3235
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3236
(Martin Pool)
3237
3238
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3239
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3240
3241
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3242
3243
TESTING:
3244
3245
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3246
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3247
3248
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3249
3250
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3251
3252
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3253
3254
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3255
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3256
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3257
3258
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3259
3260
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3261
(John Arbash Meinel)
3262
3263
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3264
3265
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3266
If adding a new test script please add that to
3267
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3268
3269
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3270
imported. (Martin Pool)
3271
3272
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3273
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3274
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3275
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3276
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3277
(Robert Collins)
3278
3279
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3280
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3281
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3282
3283
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3284
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3285
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3286
3287
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3288
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3289
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3290
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3291
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3292
(Robert Collins).
3293
3294
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3295
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3296
(Robert Collins).
3297
3298
INTERNALS:
3299
3300
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3301
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3304
function. (Robert Collins)
3305
3306
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3307
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3308
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3309
3310
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3311
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3312
(Robert Collins)
3313
3314
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3315
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3316
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3317
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3318
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3319
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3320
version. (Robert Collins)
3321
3322
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3323
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3324
3325
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3326
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3327
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3328
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3329
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3330
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3331
3332
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3333
(Robert Collins)
3334
3335
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3336
3337
add()
3338
commit()
3339
move()
3340
rename_one()
3341
unknowns()
3342
3343
(Robert Collins)
3344
3345
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3346
3347
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3348
3349
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3350
Pool)
3351
3352
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3353
query method. (Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3356
(Denys Duchier)
3357
3358
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3359
(Michael Ellerman)
3360
3361
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3362
(Michael Ellerman)
3363
3364
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3365
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3366
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3367
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3368
3369
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3370
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3371
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3372
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3373
3374
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3375
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3376

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3378
==================
3379
3380
IMPROVEMENTS:
3381
3382
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3383
(John A Meinel)
3384
3385
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3386
conflicts.
3387
(Aaron Bentley)
3388
3389
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3390
a separator, not ':'.
3391
(Aaron Bentley)
3392
3393
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3394
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3395
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3396
3397
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3398
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3399
(Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3402
has been added that suppresses all output.
3403
3404
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3405
Adams.
3406
3407
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3408
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3409
3410
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3411
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3412
3413
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3414
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3415
3416
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3417
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3418
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3419
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3420
3421
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3422
3423
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3424
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3425
3426
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3427
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3428
3429
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3430
output directory, if one was supplied.
3431
3432
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3433
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3434
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3435
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3436
3437
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3438
3439
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3440
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3441
3442
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3443
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3444
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3445
3446
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3447
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3448
3449
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3450
(Aaron Bentley)
3451
3452
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3453
3454
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3455
3456
TESTING:
3457
3458
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3459
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3460
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3461
3462
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3463
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3464
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3465
3466
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3467
is given. (Martin Pool)
3468
3469
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3470
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3471
file. (Robert Collins)
3472
3473
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3474
(Martin Pool)
3475
3476
INTERNALS:
3477
3478
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3479
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3480
representation. (Martin Pool).
3481
3482
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3483
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3484
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3485
3486
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3487
(Robert Collins)
3488
3489
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3490
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3491
Magnus Therning.
3492
3493
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3494
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3495
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3496
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3497
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3498
3499
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3500
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3501
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3502
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3503
python path. (Robert Collins)
3504
3505
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3506
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3507
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3508
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3511
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3512
3513
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3514
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3515
(Robert Collins)
3516
3517
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3518
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3519
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3520
3521
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3522
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3523
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3524
3525
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3526
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3527
3528
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3529
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3530
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3531
(Robert Collins)
3532
3533
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3534
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3535
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3536
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3537
(Robert Collins)
3538
3539
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3540
(Robert Collins)
3541
3542
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3543
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3544
(Robert Collins)
3545
3546
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3547
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3548
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3549
3550
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3551
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3552
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3553
3554
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3555
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3556
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3557
3558
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3559
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3560
3561
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3562
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3563
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3564
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3565
caller. (Robert Collins)
3566
3567
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3568
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3569
(Robert Collins).
3570
3571
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3572
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3573
(Aaron Bentley)
3574
3575
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3576
3577
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3578
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3579
3580
BUG FIXES:
3581
3582
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3583
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3584
3585
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3586
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3590
====================
3591
3592
BUG FIXES:
3593
3594
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3595
allow directories to be listed.
3596
3597
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3598
upgrading branch format.
3599
3600
PERFORMANCE:
3601
3602
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

3605
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3606
==================
3607
3608
NOTES:
3609
3610
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3611
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3612
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3613
high-latency connections.
3614
3615
BUG FIXES:
3616
3617
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3618
Rob Weir.
3619
3620
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3621
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3622
3623
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3624
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3625
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3626
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3627
3628
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3629
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3630
3631
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3632
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3633
3634
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3635
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3636
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3637
3638
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3639
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3640
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3641
Robert Collins
3642
3643
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3644
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3645
3646
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3647
different partial views of history.
3648
3649
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3650
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3651
3652
IMPROVEMENTS:
3653
3654
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3655
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3656
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3657
3658
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3659
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3660
'bzr upgrade'.
3661
3662
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3663
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3664
3665
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3666
Niemeyer.
3667
3668
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3669
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3670
3671
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3672
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3673
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3674
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3675
3676
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3677
3678
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3679
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3680
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3681
3682
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3683
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3684
3685
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3686
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3687
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3688
3689
3690
INTERNALS:
3691
3692
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3693
for your viewing pleasure.
3694
3695
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3696
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3697
3698
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3699
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3700
handling of such circumstances.
3701
3702
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3703
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3704
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3705
3706
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3707
3708
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3709
we call them revisions not patches.
3710
3711
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3712
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3713
3714
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3715
giving the revision *of that file*.
3716
3717
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3718
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3719
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3720
3721
TESTING:
3722
3723
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3724
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3725
3726
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3727
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3728
3729
3730
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3731
====================
3732
3733
BUG FIXES:
3734
3735
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3736
3737
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3738
(Robert Collins).
3739
3740
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3741
3742
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3743
3744
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3745
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3746
3747
IMPROVEMENTS:
3748
3749
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3750
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3751
3752
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3753
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3754
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3755
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3756
Robey Pointer
3757
3758
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3759
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3760
3761
INTERNALS:
3762
3763
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3764
3765
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3766
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3767
3768
3769
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3770
====================
3771
3772
IMPROVEMENTS:
3773
3774
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3775
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3776
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3777
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3778
Michael Ellerman.
3779
3780
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3781
(Nir Soffer)
3782
3783
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3784
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3785
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3786
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3787
for the operating system is still tried.
3788
3789
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3790
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3791
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3792
3793
3794
INTERNALS:
3795
3796
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3797
3798
BUG FIXES:
3799
3800
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3801
3802
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3803
branch.
3804
3805
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3806
read.
3807
3808
3809
PORTABILITY:
3810
3811
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3812
3813
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3814
3815
3816
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3817
====================
3818
3819
NEW FEATURES:
3820
3821
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3822
help with intelligent shell completion.
3823
3824
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3825
3826
3827
ENHANCEMENTS:
3828
3829
* Much better merge support.
3830
3831
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3832
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3833
like emacs smerge.
3834
3835
3836
BUG FIXES:
3837
3838
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3839
mention revisions that are not present.
3840
3841
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3842
3843
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3844
3845
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3846
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3847
3848
3849
CHANGES:
3850
3851
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3852
3853
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3854
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3855
--help themselves.
3856
3857
3858
LIBRARY:
3859
3860
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3861
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3862
libraries.
3863
3864
3865
3866
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3867
====================
3868
3869
NEW FEATURES:
3870
3871
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3872
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3873
3874
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3875
3876
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3877
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3878
3879
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3880
FOO.
3881
3882
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3883
3884
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3885
the Unix command.
3886
3887
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3888
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3889
3890
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3891
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3892
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3893
3894
3895
ENHANCEMENTS:
3896
3897
* Faster working tree operations.
3898
3899
3900
CHANGES:
3901
3902
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3903
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3904
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3905
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3906
3907
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3908
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3909
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3910
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3911
standard plugins directory.
3912
3913
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3914
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3915
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3916
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3917
3918
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3919
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3920
3921
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3922
disk.
3923
3924
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3925
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3926
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3927
3928
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3929
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3930
3931
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3932
line options must come before the command name because they
3933
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3934
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3935
it.
3936
3937
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3938
3939
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3940
is available with ``--short``.
3941
3942
3943
BUG FIXES:
3944
3945
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3946
3947
3948
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3949
=====================
3950
3951
CHANGES:
3952
3953
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3954
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3955
3956
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3957
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3958
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3959
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3960
3961
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3962
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3963
with the ``--forward`` option.
3964
3965
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3966
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3967
field.
3968
3969
3970
ENHANCEMENTS:
3971
3972
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3973
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3974
3975
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3976
3977
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3978
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3979
3980
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3981
3982
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3983
either read or write mode.
3984
3985
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3986
3987
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3988
affected that file.
3989
3990
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3991
3992
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3993
suggested by LarstiQ.
3994
3995
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3996
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3997
3998
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3999
a filename.
4000
4001
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4002
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4003
4004
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4005
haven't changed since the previous time.
4006
4007
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4008
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4009
4010
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4011
4012
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4013
4014
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4015
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4016
4017
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4018
options through to an external GNU diff.
4019
4020
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4021
their contents.
4022
4023
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4024
from a branch.
4025
4026
4027
BUG FIXES:
4028
4029
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4030
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4031
4032
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4033
metacharacters.
4034
4035
4036
TESTING:
4037
4038
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4039
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4040
the tests.
4041
4042
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4043
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4044
4045
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4046
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4047
4048
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4049
under a different version.
4050
4051
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4052
4053
4054
INTERNAL:
4055
4056
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4057
4058
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4059
Scott James Remnant.
4060
4061
* Better help messages for many commands.
4062
4063
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4064
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4065
4066
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4067
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4068
4069
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4070
4071
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4072
4073
* New AtomicFile class.
4074
4075
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4076
4077
4078
PORTABILITY:
4079
4080
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4081
2.4 is now only recommended.
4082
4083
4084
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4085
=====================
4086
4087
ENHANCEMENTS:
4088
4089
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4090
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4091
4092
* More default ignore patterns.
4093
4094
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4095
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4096
4097
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4098
4099
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4100
by Jason Diamon.
4101
4102
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4103
4104
4105
CHANGES:
4106
4107
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4108
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4109
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4110
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4111
there are DNS problems.
4112
4113
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4114
4115
4116
BUG FIXES:
4117
4118
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4119
4120
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4121
4122
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4123
trailing newlines properly.
4124
4125
4126
INTERNAL:
4127
4128
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4129
Matt Brubeck.
4130
4131
* More tests in test.sh.
4132
4133
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4134
directory and delete it when done.
4135
4136
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4137
4138
4139
PORTABILITY:
4140
4141
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4142
Bennetts.
4143
4144
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4145
from QuantumG.

4147
4148
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4149
=====================
4150
4151
ENHANCEMENTS:
4152
4153
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4154
in the tree.
4155
4156
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4157
4158
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4159
and/or directory.
4160
4161
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4162
directory.
4163
4164
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4165
4166
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4167
4168
CHANGES:
4169
4170
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4171
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4172
will do for now.)
4173
4174
PORTABILITY:
4175
4176
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4177
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4178
Nielsen.
4179
4180
INTERNAL:
4181
4182
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4183
4184
TESTING:
4185
4186
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4187

4189
bzr-0.0.2.1
4190
===========
4191
4192
PORTABILITY:
4193
4194
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

4197
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4198
===================================
4199
4200
ENHANCEMENTS:
4201
4202
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4203
4204
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4205
rather than replacing it.
4206
4207
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4208
4209
