14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
40
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
41
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
43
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
44
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
46
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
47
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
48
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
49
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
51
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
54
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
55
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
57
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
58
the contents. (Robert Collins)
62
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
63
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
65
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
66
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
68
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
69
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
71
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
76
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
77
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
78
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
79
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
80
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
82
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
83
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
85
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
87
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
89
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
90
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
92
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
93
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
95
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
96
contains a symbolic link.
97
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
99
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
100
(James Westby, #140615)
102
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
103
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
104
(Martin Pool, #144633)
106
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
110
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
111
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
112
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
114
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
117
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
118
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
122
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
123
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
124
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
126
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
127
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
130
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
134
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
135
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
136
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
138
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
139
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
140
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
143
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
144
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
145
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
146
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
151
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
152
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
153
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
155
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
156
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
159
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
160
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
161
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
163
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
164
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
165
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
167
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
168
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
169
to complete. (Robert Collins)
171
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
172
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
174
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
175
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
176
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
178
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
179
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
180
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
181
returned. (Robert Collins)
183
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
184
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
188
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
189
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
190
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
191
makes this behavior available to other users.
195
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
196
======================
198
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
201
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
202
======================
206
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
207
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
208
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
209
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
212
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
213
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
214
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
219
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
220
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
221
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
224
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
225
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
226
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
228
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
229
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
230
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
232
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
233
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
235
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
236
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
237
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
238
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
239
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
240
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
241
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
242
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
243
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
244
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
246
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
247
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
251
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
252
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
254
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
255
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
256
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
258
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
259
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
261
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
262
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
264
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
267
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
268
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
270
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
271
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
273
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
274
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
276
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
277
(Blake Winton, #129299)
279
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
281
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
284
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
285
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
286
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
287
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
289
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
291
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
292
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
295
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
296
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
298
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
299
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
302
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
303
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
305
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
306
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
308
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
309
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
310
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
311
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
312
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
313
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
314
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
316
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
317
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
319
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
320
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
322
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
323
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
325
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
328
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
332
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
333
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
335
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
336
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
337
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
339
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
340
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
341
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
345
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
346
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
348
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
351
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
354
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
355
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
357
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
359
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
360
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
362
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
363
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
365
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
366
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
367
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
368
space). (Robert Collins)
370
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
371
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
374
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
375
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
377
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
378
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
380
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
381
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
382
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
383
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
385
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
386
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
387
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
390
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
393
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
394
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
395
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
399
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
400
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
402
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
403
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
404
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
405
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
406
affected. (Robert Collins)
408
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
409
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
410
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
413
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
414
previous release. (Martin Pool)
418
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
419
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
421
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
422
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
424
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
425
previous release. (Martin Pool)
427
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
430
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
431
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
435
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
436
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
437
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
438
its version information. (Robert Collins)
440
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
441
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
443
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
444
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
445
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
446
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
448
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
449
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
450
present. (Robert Collins)
452
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
453
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
454
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
455
API. (Robert Collins)
457
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
458
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
461
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
462
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
464
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
465
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
466
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
467
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
468
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
469
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
471
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
472
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
473
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
475
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
476
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
477
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
478
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
481
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
484
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
485
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
486
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
487
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
488
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
489
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
490
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
492
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
493
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
494
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
495
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
497
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
498
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
499
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
500
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
501
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
502
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
504
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
505
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
506
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
508
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
509
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
517
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
518
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
519
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
520
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
521
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
522
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
523
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
524
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
529
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
530
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
531
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
534
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
535
======================
539
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
540
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
541
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
542
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
543
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
545
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
548
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
552
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
553
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
556
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
557
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
560
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
563
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
564
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
566
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
567
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
569
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
570
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
572
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
573
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
575
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
576
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
578
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
583
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
584
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
586
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
587
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
589
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
590
the repository (Robert Collins)
592
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
593
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
594
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
595
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
596
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
598
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
599
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
601
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
602
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
605
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
606
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
607
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
609
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
610
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
611
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
614
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
615
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
618
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
619
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
621
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
624
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
626
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
628
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
629
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
631
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
632
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
635
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
636
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
637
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
638
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
640
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
641
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
642
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
644
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
645
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
646
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
648
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
649
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
651
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
652
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
653
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
654
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
655
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
656
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
659
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
660
(Alexander Belchenko)
662
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
663
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
665
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
666
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
668
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
670
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
671
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
675
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
676
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
677
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
678
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
680
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
682
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
685
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
686
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
687
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
688
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
689
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
690
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
694
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
695
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
696
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
697
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
699
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
700
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
701
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
702
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
703
tests have been refactored too.
706
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
707
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
708
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
712
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
713
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
714
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
716
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
717
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
718
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
719
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
720
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
721
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
722
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
724
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
725
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
726
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
727
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
730
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
731
functionality for testing.
733
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
735
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
736
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
738
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
740
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
743
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
744
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
746
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
747
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
748
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
750
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
753
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
754
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
756
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
757
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
758
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
759
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
761
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
762
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
764
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
765
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
766
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
768
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
771
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
772
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
773
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
774
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
775
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
776
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
778
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
779
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
780
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
781
many files. (Robert Collins)
783
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
784
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
785
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
786
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
790
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
791
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
792
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
794
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
795
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
797
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
798
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
799
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
807
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
810
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
811
=======================
815
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
816
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
818
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
819
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
820
(James Westby, #122656)
822
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
823
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
825
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
826
authentication header.
827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
829
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
831
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
832
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
834
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
836
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
837
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
839
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
840
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
843
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
844
individually and as part of revision ranges.
847
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
848
(Martin Pool, #109169)
850
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
851
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
853
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
854
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
856
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
858
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
862
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
863
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
864
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
865
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
866
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
867
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
869
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
870
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
871
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
873
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
876
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
877
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
879
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
880
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
882
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
883
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
885
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
886
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
887
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
888
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
889
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
891
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
892
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
894
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
895
can be slow it is useful feedback).
896
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
898
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
899
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
901
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
903
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
904
output. (Aaron Bentley)
906
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
907
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
910
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
913
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
914
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
916
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
917
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
919
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
920
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
922
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
924
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
925
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
927
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
933
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
934
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
935
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
936
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
937
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
938
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
939
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
940
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
941
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
942
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
943
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
944
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
945
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
946
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
947
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
948
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
949
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
952
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
954
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
955
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
956
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
958
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
959
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
961
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
962
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
964
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
966
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
967
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
968
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
969
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
970
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
971
same location. (Robert Collins)
975
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
977
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
979
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
981
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
984
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
987
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
988
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
989
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
991
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
993
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
994
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
995
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
997
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
998
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1000
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1001
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1002
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1004
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1005
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1006
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1008
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1009
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1010
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1012
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1013
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1016
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1017
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1019
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1020
(Alexander Belchenko)
1024
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1025
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1026
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1027
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1029
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1030
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1031
testing. (Robert Collins)
1033
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1034
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1036
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1037
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1038
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1039
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1040
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1041
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1042
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1044
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1045
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1046
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1047
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1049
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1050
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1052
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1053
avoid useless cloning.
1054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1058
====================
1062
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1063
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1065
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1066
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
1069
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1070
=======================
1072
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1074
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1075
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1076
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1077
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1078
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1079
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1080
and unlock() like so::
1082
work_tree.lock_read()
1084
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1089
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1090
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1092
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1093
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1094
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1096
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1097
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1098
too. (Robert Collins)
1102
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1103
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1106
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1107
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1109
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1110
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1112
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1113
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1114
understanding what changes have occurred
1115
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1117
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1118
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1119
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1121
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1122
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1123
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1124
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1126
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1131
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1132
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1133
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1134
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1135
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1137
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1138
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1139
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1141
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1144
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1148
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1149
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1151
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1152
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1154
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1155
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1157
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1158
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1160
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1161
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1163
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1164
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1165
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1168
====================
1172
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1173
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1174
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1175
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1176
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1178
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1179
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1180
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1182
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1183
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1187
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1188
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1189
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1191
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1192
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1193
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1194
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1196
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1197
=======================
1201
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1202
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1203
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1204
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1206
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1207
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1208
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1210
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1211
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1213
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1214
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1216
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1217
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1219
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1220
=======================
1222
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1224
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1225
it could be recovered again.
1226
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1227
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1228
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1230
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1232
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1233
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1237
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1238
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1240
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1241
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1242
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1243
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1245
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1246
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1248
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1249
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1250
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1252
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1253
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1254
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1256
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1257
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1258
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1260
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1261
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1264
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1267
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1268
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1269
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1270
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1272
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1275
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1276
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1277
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1280
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1281
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1283
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1284
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1286
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1287
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1288
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1289
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1292
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1293
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1295
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1296
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1298
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1299
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1300
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1302
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1303
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1304
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1306
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1307
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1308
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1310
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1311
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1312
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1313
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1315
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1316
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1317
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1318
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1320
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1321
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1322
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1323
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1324
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1325
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1326
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1327
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1333
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1334
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1336
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1337
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1338
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1339
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1340
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1342
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1343
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1345
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1346
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1348
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1349
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1351
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1352
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1354
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1355
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1356
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1359
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1360
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1361
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1362
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1363
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1366
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1367
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1368
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1370
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1371
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1374
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1375
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1376
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1379
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1380
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1381
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1382
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1383
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1385
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1386
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1387
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1388
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1390
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1391
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1393
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1394
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1395
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1396
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1397
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1398
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1400
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1401
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1403
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1404
help. (Robert Collins)
1406
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1407
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1409
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1410
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1411
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1412
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1413
(John Arbash Meinel)
1415
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1416
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1417
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1418
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1419
useful. (Robert Collins)
1421
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1426
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1427
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1429
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1430
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1432
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1433
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1434
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1436
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1439
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1440
the file, and does it faster.
1441
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1443
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1444
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1445
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1447
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1448
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1449
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1450
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1452
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1453
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1454
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1455
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1457
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1458
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1460
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1461
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1462
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1463
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1466
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1468
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1469
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1471
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1472
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1474
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1475
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1476
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1477
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1481
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1486
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1487
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1488
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1490
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1491
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1493
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1494
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1495
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1496
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1497
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1498
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1499
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1500
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1502
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1503
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1504
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1506
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1507
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1508
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1509
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1510
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1512
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1514
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1515
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1516
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1518
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1519
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1527
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1530
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1531
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1534
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1535
=======================
1539
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1540
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1545
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1546
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1547
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1548
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1549
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1550
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1551
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1552
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1557
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1558
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1559
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1561
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1562
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1565
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1566
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1567
(John Arbash Meinel)
1569
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1570
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1571
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1572
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1573
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1577
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1580
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1581
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1583
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1584
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1586
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1587
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1588
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1590
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1591
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1593
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1594
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1595
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1596
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1597
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1599
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1600
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1601
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1603
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1606
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1607
=======================
1609
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1611
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1612
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1613
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1617
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1618
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1620
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1621
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1623
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1625
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1626
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1628
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1629
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1633
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1638
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1639
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1640
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1641
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1643
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1644
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1646
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1647
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1649
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1652
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1653
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1656
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1657
=======================
1661
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1662
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1663
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1664
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1665
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1666
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1668
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1669
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1670
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1671
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1672
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1673
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1675
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1677
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1678
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1679
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1680
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1681
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1682
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1683
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1684
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1688
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1689
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1691
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1692
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1693
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1694
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1696
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1697
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1698
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1699
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1700
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1702
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1705
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1708
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1711
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1712
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1715
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1718
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1719
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1721
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1722
directory. (Martin Pool)
1724
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1725
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1726
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1727
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1729
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1730
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1731
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1732
in docs/configuration.txt.
1734
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1735
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1738
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1739
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1740
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1741
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1742
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1743
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1745
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1746
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1748
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1749
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1751
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1756
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1757
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1758
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1759
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1760
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1761
(John Arbash Meinel)
1763
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1764
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1767
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1768
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1769
(John Arbash Meinel)
1771
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1772
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1773
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1774
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1775
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1776
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1778
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1779
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1780
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1782
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1783
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1784
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1785
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1787
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1789
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1790
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1791
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1792
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1794
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1795
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1796
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1797
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1799
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1800
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1801
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1803
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1804
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1805
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1807
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1808
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1809
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1810
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1812
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1813
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1814
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1816
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1817
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1818
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1820
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1821
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1822
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1823
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1824
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1825
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1826
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1827
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1828
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1829
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1830
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1834
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1835
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1836
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1838
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1841
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1842
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1843
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1844
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1846
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1847
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1850
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1851
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1853
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1855
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1856
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1857
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1859
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1860
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1862
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1865
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1866
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1868
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1869
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1871
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1873
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1874
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1878
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1879
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1883
====================
1887
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1891
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1892
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1893
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1895
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1896
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1897
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1900
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1901
=======================
1905
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1906
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1907
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1908
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1910
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1913
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1914
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1915
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1917
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1918
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1920
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1923
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1924
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1925
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1926
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1927
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1928
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1930
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1931
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1932
should enable you to do::
1934
[/home/user/project]
1935
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1936
push_location:policy = appendpath
1938
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1939
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1942
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1943
for each file. For example::
1945
$ bzr status --short
1951
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1952
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1954
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1956
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1957
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1959
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1963
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1964
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1965
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1966
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1968
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1969
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1970
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1972
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1974
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1975
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1976
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1977
(Alexander Belchenko)
1979
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1982
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1983
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1985
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1989
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1990
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1992
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1993
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1994
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1995
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1996
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1998
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1999
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2001
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2002
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2004
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2006
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2008
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2009
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2010
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2011
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2012
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2014
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2015
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2016
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2017
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2019
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2020
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2022
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2023
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2025
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2026
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2028
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2029
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
2033
====================
2035
No changes from 0.13rc1
2037
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2038
=======================
2042
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2044
(Daniel Silverstone)
2046
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2047
operations are substantially faster.
2048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2050
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2051
tree from some other url. For example:
2052
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2053
(Daniel Silverstone)
2055
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2056
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2057
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2058
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2060
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2063
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2064
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2065
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2066
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2067
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2068
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2072
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2073
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2076
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2077
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2078
(John Arbash Meinel)
2080
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2081
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2082
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2083
(John Arbash Meinel)
2085
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2086
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2088
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2089
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2091
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2092
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2097
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2098
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2099
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2101
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2102
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2103
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2104
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2106
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2108
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2109
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2111
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2112
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2113
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2116
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2117
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2118
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2120
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2121
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2122
them as full references rather than integers.
2123
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2125
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2126
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2128
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2130
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2131
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2133
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2134
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2136
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2137
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2138
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2139
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2141
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2142
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2143
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2145
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2146
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2148
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2149
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2150
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2151
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2152
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2156
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2157
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2160
====================
2164
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2165
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2166
(John Arbash Meinel)
2168
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2169
=======================
2173
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2174
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2175
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2176
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2178
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2179
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2181
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2183
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2184
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2185
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2186
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2188
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2189
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2190
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2191
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2192
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2194
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2196
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2197
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2201
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2202
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2203
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2205
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2206
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2207
(John Arbash Meinel)
2209
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2210
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2211
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2213
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2214
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2217
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2218
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2219
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2221
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2222
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2223
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2224
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2225
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2226
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2228
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2229
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2230
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2233
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2234
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2238
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2239
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2240
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2243
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2244
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2246
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2247
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2248
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2250
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2251
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2253
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2254
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2255
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2256
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2258
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2259
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2261
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2262
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2263
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2265
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2266
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2268
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2270
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2271
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2276
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2277
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2278
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2279
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2281
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2282
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2283
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2286
====================
2288
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2290
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2291
=======================
2295
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2297
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2300
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2301
=======================
2305
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2306
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2307
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2308
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2309
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2310
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2311
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2313
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2314
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2315
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2317
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2319
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2320
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2322
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2323
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2324
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2327
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2328
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2329
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2330
(John Arbash Meinel)
2332
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2333
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2334
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2335
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2338
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2339
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2340
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2341
(John Arbash Meinel)
2345
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2346
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2348
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2350
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2351
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2352
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2354
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2355
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2357
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2358
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2360
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2363
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2364
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2366
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2368
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2369
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2371
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2372
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2374
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2375
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2377
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2378
(John Arbash Meinel)
2380
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2381
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2382
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2384
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2385
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2387
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2388
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2389
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2390
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2392
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2393
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2394
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2396
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2397
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2401
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2405
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2406
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2407
(John Arbash Meinel)
2409
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2410
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2411
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2412
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2414
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2417
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2418
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2419
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2421
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2422
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2424
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2425
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2426
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2428
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2429
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2430
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2431
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2432
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2433
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2434
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2435
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2436
caller to repeat their request.
2437
(John Arbash Meinel)
2439
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2440
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2442
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2443
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2445
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2446
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2447
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2448
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2449
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2450
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2451
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2453
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2454
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2455
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2456
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2457
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2458
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2459
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2460
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2463
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2464
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2465
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2467
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2468
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2470
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2471
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2473
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2474
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2478
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2479
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2481
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2482
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2483
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2485
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2486
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2487
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2490
====================
2493
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2494
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2496
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2497
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2498
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2499
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2500
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2502
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2503
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2504
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2506
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2507
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2509
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2510
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2511
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2515
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2517
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2518
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2519
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2521
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2523
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2525
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2526
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2527
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2528
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2530
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2531
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2532
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2533
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2534
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2536
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2537
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2539
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2540
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2542
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2543
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2545
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2546
in handling of revision properties.
2547
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2549
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2550
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2554
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2555
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2556
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2557
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2558
(John Arbash Meinel)
2560
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2561
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2562
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2564
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2565
=====================
2569
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2570
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2571
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2572
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2573
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2574
a more conservative list than the old default.
2575
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2576
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2577
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2578
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2580
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2581
to more locations than just branch locations.
2586
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2587
revno:N:branch. For example,
2588
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2589
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2591
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2592
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2593
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2594
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2595
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2596
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2597
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2598
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2601
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2602
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2603
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2606
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2607
(Alexander Belchenko)
2609
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2611
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2614
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2615
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2616
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2617
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2618
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2619
(John Arbash Meinel)
2621
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2622
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2623
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2624
grained analysis of performance.
2625
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2627
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2628
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2630
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2631
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2632
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2633
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2634
file. (Robert Collins).
2636
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2637
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2638
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2640
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2641
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2644
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2645
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2647
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2648
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2649
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2650
the same way you would apply another branch.
2651
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2653
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2654
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2656
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2659
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2662
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2663
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2664
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2666
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2667
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2668
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2670
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2671
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2673
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2674
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2675
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2676
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2677
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2679
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2680
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2682
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2683
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2684
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2685
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2686
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2687
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2688
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2689
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2691
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2692
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2693
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2697
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2699
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2701
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2702
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2704
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2705
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2707
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2708
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2710
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2712
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2713
(John Arbash Meinel)
2715
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2716
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2718
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2719
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2722
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2723
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2725
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2726
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2728
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2729
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2730
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2731
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2733
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2734
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2736
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2738
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2739
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2741
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2743
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2745
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2746
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2748
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2749
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2751
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2752
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2753
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2755
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2756
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2757
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2759
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2760
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2762
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2763
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2765
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2766
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2768
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2769
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2771
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2772
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2774
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2775
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2776
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2778
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2780
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2781
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2785
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2786
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2787
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2789
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2790
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2792
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2793
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2794
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2796
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2797
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2799
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2800
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2803
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2804
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2805
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2807
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2808
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2809
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2811
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2812
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2813
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2815
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2816
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2817
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2819
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2820
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2821
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2823
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2824
instead. (Robert Collins)
2826
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2828
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2829
=====================
2833
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2835
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2836
=====================
2840
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2841
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2843
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2844
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2846
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2847
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2848
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2852
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2854
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2855
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2857
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2861
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2862
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2863
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2864
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2868
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2869
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2870
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2874
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2875
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2876
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2880
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2881
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2886
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2888
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2889
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2890
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2891
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2892
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2893
will keep the same format.
2895
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2896
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2897
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2898
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2899
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2901
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2902
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2903
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2904
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2905
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2906
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2907
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2909
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2910
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2911
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2912
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2913
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2915
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2916
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2917
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2923
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2924
convention. Paths now take the form::
2926
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2928
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2930
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2931
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2933
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2934
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2935
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2937
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2938
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2939
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2940
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2942
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2943
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2944
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2946
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2948
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2950
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2951
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2954
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2955
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2958
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2960
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2961
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2962
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2965
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2967
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2969
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2972
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2973
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2975
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2976
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2979
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2980
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2983
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2985
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2987
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2988
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2990
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2991
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2992
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2993
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2994
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2995
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2997
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2999
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3000
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3003
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3004
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3006
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3007
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3009
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3011
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3012
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3013
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3014
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3015
specification by Martin Pool.
3016
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3018
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3021
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3022
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3024
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3025
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3026
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3028
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3030
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3031
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3036
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3037
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3039
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3041
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3043
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3046
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3047
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3048
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3049
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3053
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3054
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3055
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3056
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3058
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3059
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3060
tried. (Martin Pool)
3062
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3065
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3067
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3068
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3069
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3071
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3072
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3074
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3075
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3076
paths. (Robert Collins)
3078
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3079
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3080
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3082
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3083
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3084
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3086
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3087
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3088
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3090
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3093
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3096
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3098
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3100
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3101
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3102
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3105
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3106
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3108
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3109
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3110
check. (Robert Collins)
3112
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3113
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3117
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3118
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3120
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3121
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3122
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3123
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3125
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3126
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3127
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3128
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3129
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3131
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3132
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3133
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3135
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3137
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3138
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3145
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3146
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3148
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3149
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3150
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3153
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3154
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3156
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3157
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3158
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3159
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3160
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3162
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3163
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3164
used. (Robert Collins)
3166
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3167
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3170
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3171
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3172
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3174
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3177
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3178
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3182
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3183
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3185
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3187
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3189
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3190
tree. (Robert Collins)
3192
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3193
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3194
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3197
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3200
* Tweaks to short log printing
3202
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3205
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3206
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3208
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3209
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3211
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3212
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3214
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3215
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3216
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3218
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3219
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3221
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3222
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3225
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3226
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3228
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3229
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3231
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3232
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3234
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3237
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3238
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3240
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3241
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3243
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3244
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3245
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3249
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3251
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3253
* Error when run with -OO
3255
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3258
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3260
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3262
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3263
ignored by diff and status
3265
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3266
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3268
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3270
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3272
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3273
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3275
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3276
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3278
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3281
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3282
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3284
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3286
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3287
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3289
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3292
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3293
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3295
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3299
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3300
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3302
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3304
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3306
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3308
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3309
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3310
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3312
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3314
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3315
(John Arbash Meinel)
3317
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3319
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3320
If adding a new test script please add that to
3321
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3323
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3324
imported. (Martin Pool)
3326
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3327
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3328
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3329
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3330
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3333
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3334
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3335
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3337
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3338
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3339
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3341
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3342
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3343
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3344
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3345
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3348
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3349
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3354
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3355
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3357
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3358
function. (Robert Collins)
3360
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3361
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3362
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3364
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3365
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3368
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3369
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3370
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3371
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3372
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3373
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3374
version. (Robert Collins)
3376
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3377
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3379
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3380
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3381
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3382
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3383
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3384
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3386
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3389
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3399
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3401
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3403
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3406
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3407
query method. (Robert Collins)
3409
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3412
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3415
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3418
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3419
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3420
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3421
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3423
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3424
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3425
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3426
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3428
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3429
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3436
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3439
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3443
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3444
a separator, not ':'.
3447
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3448
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3449
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3451
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3452
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3455
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3456
has been added that suppresses all output.
3458
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3461
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3462
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3464
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3465
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3467
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3468
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3470
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3471
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3472
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3473
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3475
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3477
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3478
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3480
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3481
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3483
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3484
output directory, if one was supplied.
3486
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3487
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3488
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3489
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3491
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3493
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3494
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3496
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3497
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3498
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3500
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3501
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3503
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3506
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3508
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3512
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3513
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3514
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3516
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3517
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3518
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3520
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3521
is given. (Martin Pool)
3523
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3524
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3525
file. (Robert Collins)
3527
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3532
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3533
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3534
representation. (Martin Pool).
3536
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3537
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3538
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3540
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3543
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3544
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3547
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3548
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3549
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3550
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3551
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3553
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3554
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3555
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3556
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3557
python path. (Robert Collins)
3559
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3560
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3561
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3562
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3564
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3565
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3567
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3568
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3571
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3572
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3573
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3575
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3576
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3577
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3579
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3580
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3582
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3583
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3584
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3587
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3588
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3589
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3590
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3593
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3596
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3597
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3600
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3601
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3602
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3604
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3605
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3606
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3608
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3609
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3610
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3612
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3613
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3615
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3616
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3617
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3618
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3619
caller. (Robert Collins)
3621
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3622
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3625
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3626
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3629
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3631
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3632
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3636
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3637
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3639
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3640
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3643
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3644
====================
3648
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3649
allow directories to be listed.
3651
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3652
upgrading branch format.
3656
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3664
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3665
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3666
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3667
high-latency connections.
3671
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3674
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3675
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3677
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3678
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3679
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3680
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3682
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3683
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3685
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3686
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3688
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3689
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3690
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3692
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3693
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3694
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3697
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3698
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3700
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3701
different partial views of history.
3703
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3704
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3708
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3709
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3710
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3712
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3713
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3716
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3717
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3719
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3722
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3723
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3725
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3726
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3727
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3728
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3730
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3732
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3733
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3736
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3737
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3739
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3740
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3741
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3746
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3747
for your viewing pleasure.
3749
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3750
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3752
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3753
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3754
handling of such circumstances.
3756
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3757
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3758
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3760
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3762
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3763
we call them revisions not patches.
3765
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3766
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3768
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3769
giving the revision *of that file*.
3771
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3772
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3773
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3777
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3778
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3780
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3781
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3784
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3785
====================
3789
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3791
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3794
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3796
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3798
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3799
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3803
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3804
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3806
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3807
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3808
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3809
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3812
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3813
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3817
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3819
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3820
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3823
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3824
====================
3828
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3829
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3830
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3831
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3834
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3837
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3838
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3839
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3840
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3841
for the operating system is still tried.
3843
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3844
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3845
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3850
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3854
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3856
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3859
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3865
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3867
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3870
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3871
====================
3875
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3876
help with intelligent shell completion.
3878
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3883
* Much better merge support.
3885
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3886
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3892
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3893
mention revisions that are not present.
3895
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3897
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3899
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3900
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3905
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3907
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3908
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3914
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3915
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3920
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3921
====================
3925
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3926
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3928
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3930
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3931
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3933
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3936
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3938
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3941
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3942
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3944
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3945
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3946
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3951
* Faster working tree operations.
3956
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3957
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3958
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3959
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3961
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3962
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3963
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3964
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3965
standard plugins directory.
3967
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3968
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3969
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3970
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3972
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3973
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3975
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3978
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3979
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3980
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3982
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3983
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3985
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3986
line options must come before the command name because they
3987
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3988
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3991
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3993
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3994
is available with ``--short``.
3999
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4003
=====================
4007
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4008
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4010
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4011
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4012
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4013
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4015
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4016
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4017
with the ``--forward`` option.
4019
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4020
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4026
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4027
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4029
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4031
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4032
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4034
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4036
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4037
either read or write mode.
4039
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4041
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4044
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4046
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4047
suggested by LarstiQ.
4049
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4050
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4052
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4055
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4056
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4058
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4059
haven't changed since the previous time.
4061
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4062
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4064
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4066
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4068
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4069
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4071
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4072
options through to an external GNU diff.
4074
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4077
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4083
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4084
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4086
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4092
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4093
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4096
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4097
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4099
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4100
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4102
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4103
under a different version.
4105
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4110
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4112
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4113
Scott James Remnant.
4115
* Better help messages for many commands.
4117
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4118
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4120
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4121
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4123
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4125
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4127
* New AtomicFile class.
4129
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4134
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4135
2.4 is now only recommended.
4138
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4139
=====================
4143
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4144
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4146
* More default ignore patterns.
4148
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4149
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4151
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4153
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4156
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4161
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4162
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4163
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4164
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4165
there are DNS problems.
4167
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4172
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4174
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4176
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4177
trailing newlines properly.
4182
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4185
* More tests in test.sh.
4187
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4188
directory and delete it when done.
4190
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4195
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4198
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4202
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4203
=====================
4207
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4210
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4212
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4215
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4218
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4220
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4224
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4225
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4230
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4231
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4236
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4240
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4248
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4251
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4252
===================================
4256
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4258
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4259
rather than replacing it.
4261
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4265
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4268
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4269
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4271
* Performance improvements.
4273
* New global --profile option.
4275
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4276
the root directory only.
4279
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4280
=====================
4284
* More information from info command.
4286
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4288
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4289
committing to stores.
4291
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4295
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.

4300
installation easier.
4302
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
