NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
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).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
37
38
PERFORMANCE:
39
40
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
41
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
42
43
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
44
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
45
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)
50
51
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
52
(Robert Collins)
53
54
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
55
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
56
57
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
58
the contents. (Robert Collins)
59
60
IMPROVEMENTS:
61
62
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
63
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
64
65
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
66
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
67
68
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
69
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
70
71
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
72
(Martin Pool, #63894)
73
74
BUG FIXES:
75
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)
81
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
84
paramiko.
85
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
86
87
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
88
89
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
90
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
91
92
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
93
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
94
95
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
96
contains a symbolic link.
97
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
98
99
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
100
(James Westby, #140615)
101
102
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
103
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
104
(Martin Pool, #144633)
105
106
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
107
will remain opened.
108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
109
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)
113
114
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
115
(Rob Weir, #141629)
116
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)
119
120
API BREAKS:
121
122
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
123
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
124
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
125
126
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
127
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
128
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
129
130
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
131
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
132
133
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
134
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
135
(Martin Pool)
136
137
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
138
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
139
140
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
141
class that needs it.
142
(Martin Pool)
143
144
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
145
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
146
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
147
148
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
149
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
150
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
151
(Robert Collins)
152
153
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
154
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
155
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
156
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
157
(Robert Collins)
158
159
INTERNALS:
160
161
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
162
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
163
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
164
165
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
166
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
167
(Robert Collins)
168
169
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
170
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
171
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
174
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
175
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
176
177
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
178
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
179
to complete. (Robert Collins)
180
181
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
182
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
183
184
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
185
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
186
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
187
188
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
189
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
190
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
191
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
192
193
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
194
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
195
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
196
returned. (Robert Collins)
197
198
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
199
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
200
201
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
202
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
203
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
204
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
205
(Robert Collins)
206
207
TESTING:
208
209
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
210
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
211
212
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
213
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
214
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
215
makes this behavior available to other users.
216
(Martin Pool)

219
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
220
===================
221
222
BUG FIXES:
223
224
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
225
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
226
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
227
228
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
229
230
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
231
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
232
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
233
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
234
235
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
236
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
237
(Andrew Bennetts)
238
239
240
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
241
======================
242
243
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
244
in bzrlib/remote.py.
245
246
247
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
248
======================
249
250
CHANGES:
251
252
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
253
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
254
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
255
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
256
(Martin Pool)
257
258
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
259
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
260
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
261
(Ian Clatworthy)
262
263
FEATURES:
264
265
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
266
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
267
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
268
(Lukáš Lalinský)
269
270
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
271
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
272
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
273
274
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
275
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
276
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
277
278
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
279
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
280
281
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
282
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
283
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
284
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
285
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
286
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
287
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
288
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
289
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
290
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
291
292
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
293
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
294
295
BUG FIXES:
296
297
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
298
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
299
300
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
301
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
302
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
303
304
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
305
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
306
307
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
308
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
309
310
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
311
(Aaron Bentley)
312
313
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
314
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
315
316
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
317
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
318
319
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
320
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
321
322
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
323
(Blake Winton, #129299)
324
325
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
326
327
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
328
Watkins, #106726)
329
330
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
331
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
332
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
333
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
334
335
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
336
337
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
338
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
339
#133548)
340
341
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
342
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
343
344
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
345
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
346
#116143)
347
348
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
349
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
350
351
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
352
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
353
354
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
355
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
356
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
357
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
358
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
359
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
360
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
361
362
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
363
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
364
365
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
366
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
367
368
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
369
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
370
371
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
373
374
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
375
connections.
376
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
377
378
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
379
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
380
381
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
382
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
383
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
384
385
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
386
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
387
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
388
389
IMPROVEMENTS:
390
391
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
392
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
393
394
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
395
(Aaron Bentley)
396
397
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
398
(Aaron Bentley)
399
400
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
401
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
402
403
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
404
405
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
406
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
407
408
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
409
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
410
411
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
412
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
413
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
414
space). (Robert Collins)
415
416
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
417
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
418
(Ian Clatworthy)
419
420
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
421
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
422
423
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
424
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
425
426
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
427
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
428
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
429
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
430
431
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
432
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
433
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
434
(Lukáš Lalinský)
435
436
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
437
(Ian Clatworthy)
438
439
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
440
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
441
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
442
443
API BREAKS:
444
445
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
446
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
447
448
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
449
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
450
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
451
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
452
affected. (Robert Collins)
453
454
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
455
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
456
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
457
(Robert Collins)
458
459
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
460
previous release. (Martin Pool)
461
462
TESTING:
463
464
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
465
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
466
467
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
468
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
469
470
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
471
previous release. (Martin Pool)
472
473
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
474
(Aaron Bentley)
475
476
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
477
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
478
479
INTERNALS:
480
481
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
482
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
483
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
484
its version information. (Robert Collins)
485
486
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
487
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
488
489
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
490
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
491
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
492
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
493
494
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
495
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
496
present. (Robert Collins)
497
498
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
499
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
500
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
501
API. (Robert Collins)
502
503
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
504
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
505
(Robert Collins)
506
507
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
508
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
509
510
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
511
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
512
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
513
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
514
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
515
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
516
517
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
518
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
519
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
520
521
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
522
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
523
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
524
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
525
protocol.
526
527
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
528
(Aaron Bentley)
529
530
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
531
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
532
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
533
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
534
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
535
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
536
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
537
538
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
539
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
540
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
541
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
542
543
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
544
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
545
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
546
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
547
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
548
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
549
550
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
551
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
552
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
553
554
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
555
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
556
557
558
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
559
===================
560
561
IMPROVEMENTS:
562
563
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
564
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
565
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
566
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
567
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
568
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
569
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
570
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
571
572
573
API CHANGES:
574
575
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
576
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
577
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
578
579
580
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
581
======================
582
583
BUGFIXES:
584
585
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
586
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
587
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
588
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
589
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
590
591
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
593
594
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
595
anymore.
596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
597
598
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
599
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
600
(Vincent Ladeuil)
601
602
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
603
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
604
#111664)
605
606
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
607
(Lukáš Lalinský)
608
609
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
610
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
611
612
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
613
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
614
615
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
616
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
617
618
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
619
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
620
621
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
622
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
623
624
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
625
(Aaron Bentley)
626
627
IMPROVEMENTS:
628
629
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
630
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
631
632
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
633
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
634
635
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
636
the repository (Robert Collins)
637
638
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
639
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
640
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
641
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
642
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
643
644
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
645
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
646
647
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
648
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
649
(John Arbash Meinel)
650
651
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
652
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
653
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
654
about 10%).
655
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
656
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
657
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
658
(John Arbash Meinel)
659
660
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
661
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
662
(Robert Collins)
663
664
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
665
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
666
667
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
668
(Ian Clatworthy)
669
670
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
671
672
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
673
674
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
675
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
676
677
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
678
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
679
Meinel)
680
681
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
682
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
683
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
684
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
685
686
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
687
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
688
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
689
690
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
691
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
692
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
693
694
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
695
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
696
697
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
698
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
699
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
700
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
701
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
702
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
703
(Ian Clatworthy)
704
705
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
706
(Alexander Belchenko)
707
708
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
709
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
710
711
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
712
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
713
714
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
715
716
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
717
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
718
719
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
720
721
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
722
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
723
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
724
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
725
726
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
727
728
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
729
(Robert Collins)
730
731
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
732
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
733
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
734
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
735
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
736
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
737
738
INTERNALS:
739
740
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
741
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
742
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
743
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
744
745
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
746
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
747
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
748
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
749
tests have been refactored too.
750
(Vincent Ladeuil)
751
752
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
753
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
754
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
755
list, it will.
756
(Vincent Ladeuil)
757
758
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
759
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
760
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
761
762
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
763
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
764
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
765
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
766
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
767
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
768
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
769
770
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
771
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
772
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
773
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
774
(John Arbash Meinel)
775
776
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
777
functionality for testing.
778
779
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
780
781
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
782
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
783
784
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
785
786
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
787
(Robert Collins)
788
789
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
790
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
791
792
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
793
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
794
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
795
796
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
797
(Aaron Bentley)
798
799
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
800
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
801
802
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
803
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
804
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
805
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
806
807
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
808
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
809
810
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
811
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
812
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
813
814
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
815
(Marius Kruger)
816
817
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
818
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
819
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
820
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
821
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
822
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
823
824
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
825
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
826
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
827
many files. (Robert Collins)
828
829
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
830
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
831
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
832
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
833
834
TESTING:
835
836
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
837
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
838
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
839
840
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
841
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
842
843
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
844
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
845
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

859
BUGFIXES:
860
861
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
862
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
863
864
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
865
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
866
(James Westby, #122656)
867
868
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
869
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
870
871
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
872
authentication header.
873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
874
875
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
876
877
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
878
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
879
880
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
881
882
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
884
885
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
886
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
887
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
888
889
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
890
individually and as part of revision ranges.
891
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
892
893
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
894
(Martin Pool, #109169)
895
896
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
898
899
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
900
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
901
902
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
903
904
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
905
906
IMPROVEMENTS:
907
908
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
909
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
910
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
911
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
912
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
913
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
914
915
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
916
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
917
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
918
919
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
920
(Elliot Murphy)
921
922
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
923
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
924
925
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
926
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
927
928
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
929
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
930
931
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
932
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
933
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
934
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
935
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
936
937
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
938
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
939
940
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
941
can be slow it is useful feedback).
942
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
943
944
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
945
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
946
947
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
948
949
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
950
output. (Aaron Bentley)
951
952
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
953
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
954
(Robert Collins)
955
956
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
957
(Martin Pool)
958
959
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
960
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
961
962
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
963
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
964
965
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
966
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
967
968
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
969
970
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
971
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
972
973
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
974
(Andrew Bennetts)
975
976
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
977
978
* Testing cleanups -
979
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
980
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
981
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
982
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
983
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
984
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
985
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
986
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
987
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
988
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
989
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
990
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
991
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
992
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
993
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
994
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
995
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
996
(Robert Collins)
997
998
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
999
1000
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1001
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1002
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1005
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1006
1007
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1008
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1009
1010
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1011
1012
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1013
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1014
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1015
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1016
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1017
same location. (Robert Collins)
1018
1019
INTERNALS:
1020
1021
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1022
1023
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1024
1025
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1026
1027
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1028
(Martin Pool)
1029
1030
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1031
(Martin Pool)
1032
1033
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1034
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1035
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1036
1037
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1038
1039
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1040
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1041
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1042
1043
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1044
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1045
1046
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1047
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1048
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1049
1050
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1051
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1052
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1053
1054
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1055
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1056
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1057
1058
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1059
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1060
Martin Pool)
1061
1062
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1063
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1064
1065
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1066
(Alexander Belchenko)
1067
1068
TESTING:
1069
1070
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1071
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1072
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1073
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1074
1075
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1076
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1077
testing. (Robert Collins)
1078
1079
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1080
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1081
1082
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1083
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1084
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1085
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1086
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1087
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1088
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1089
1090
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1091
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1092
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1093
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1094
1095
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1096
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1097
1098
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1099
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1119
1120
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1121
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1122
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1123
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1124
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1125
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1126
and unlock() like so::
1127
1128
work_tree.lock_read()
1129
try:
1130
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1131
finally:
1132
work_tree.unlock()
1133
1134
INTERNALS:
1135
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1136
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1137
object.
1138
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1139
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1140
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1141
1142
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1143
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1144
too. (Robert Collins)
1145
1146
IMPROVEMENTS:
1147
1148
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1149
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1150
Aaron Bentley)
1151
1152
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1153
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1154
1155
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1156
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1157
1158
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1159
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1160
understanding what changes have occurred
1161
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1162
1163
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1164
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1165
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1166
1167
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1168
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1169
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1170
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1171
1172
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1173
#56322)
1174
1175
BUGFIXES:
1176
1177
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1178
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1179
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1180
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1181
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1182
1183
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1184
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1185
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1186
1187
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1189
1190
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1191
into account.
1192
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1193
1194
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1195
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1196
1197
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1198
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1199
1200
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1201
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1202
1203
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1204
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1205
1206
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1207
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1208
1209
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1210
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1211
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1214
====================
1215
1216
BUGFIXES:
1217
1218
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1219
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1220
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1221
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1222
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1223
1224
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1225
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1226
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1227
1228
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1229
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1230
1231
IMPROVEMENTS:
1232
1233
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1234
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1235
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1236
1237
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1238
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1239
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1240
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1243
=======================
1244
1245
BUGFIXES:
1246
1247
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1248
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1249
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1250
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1251
1252
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1253
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1254
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1255
1256
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1257
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1258
1259
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1260
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1261
1262
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

1266
=======================
1267
1268
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1269
1270
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1271
it could be recovered again.
1272
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1273
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1274
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1275
but not delete it.
1276
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1277
files.
1278
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1279
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1280
1281
IMPROVEMENTS:

1283
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1284
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1285
1286
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1287
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1288
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1289
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1290
1291
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1292
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1293
1294
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1295
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1296
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1297
1298
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1299
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1300
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1301
1302
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1303
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1304
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1305
1306
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1307
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1308
Robert Collins)
1309
1310
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1311
Pool)
1312
1313
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1314
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1315
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1316
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1317
1318
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1319
(Robert Collins)
1320
1321
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1322
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1323
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1324
(Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1327
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1328
1329
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1330
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1331
1332
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1333
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1334
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1335
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1336
(Robert Collins)
1337
1338
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1339
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1340
1341
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1342
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1343
1344
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1345
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1346
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1347
1348
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1349
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1350
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1351
1352
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1353
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1354
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1355
1356
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1357
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1358
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1359
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1360
1361
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1362
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1363
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1364
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1365
1366
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1367
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1368
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1369
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1370
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1371
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1372
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1373
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1374
header(s).
1375
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1376
1377
INTERNALS:
1378
1379
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1380
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1381
1382
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1383
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1384
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1385
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1386
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1387
1388
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1389
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1390
1391
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1392
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1393
1394
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1395
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1396
1397
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1398
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1399
1400
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1401
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1402
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1403
(Robert Collins).
1404
1405
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1406
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1407
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1408
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1409
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1410
(Robert Collins)
1411
1412
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1413
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1414
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1415
1416
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1417
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1418
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1419
1420
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1421
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1422
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1423
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1424
1425
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1426
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1427
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1428
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1429
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1430
1431
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1432
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1433
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1434
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1435
1436
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1437
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1438
1439
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1440
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1441
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1442
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1443
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1444
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1445
1446
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1447
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1448
1449
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1450
help. (Robert Collins)
1451
1452
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1453
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1454
1455
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1456
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1457
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1458
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1459
(John Arbash Meinel)
1460
1461
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1462
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1463
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1464
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1465
useful. (Robert Collins)
1466
1467
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1468
(Andrew Bennetts)
1469
1470
BUGFIXES:
1471
1472
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1473
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1474
1475
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1476
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1477
1478
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1479
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1480
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1481
1482
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1483
(Aaron Bentley)
1484
1485
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1486
the file, and does it faster.
1487
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1488
1489
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1490
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1491
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1492
1493
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1494
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1495
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1496
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1497
1498
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1499
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1500
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1501
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1502
1503
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1504
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1505
1506
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1507
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1508
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1509
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1510
Arbash Meinel)
1511
1512
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1513
1514
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1515
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1516
1517
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1518
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1519
1520
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1521
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1522
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1523
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1524
security hole.
1525
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1526
1527
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1529
1530
TESTING:
1531
1532
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1533
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1534
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1535
1536
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1537
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1538
1539
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1540
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1541
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1542
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1543
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1544
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1545
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1546
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1547
1548
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1549
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1550
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1551
1552
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1553
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1554
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1555
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1556
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1557
access.
1558
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1559
1560
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1561
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1562
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1563
1564
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1565
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

BUGFIXES:
1572
1573
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1574
(Aaron Bentley)
1575

1581
=======================
1582
1583
CHANGES:
1584
1585
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1586
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1587
(Martin Pool)
1588
1589
IMPROVEMENTS:
1590
1591
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1592
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1593
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1594
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1595
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1596
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1597
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1598
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1599
path. (vila)
1600
1601
INTERNALS:
1602
1603
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1604
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1605
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1606
1607
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1608
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1609
(Martin Pool)
1610
1611
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1612
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1613
(John Arbash Meinel)
1614
1615
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1616
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1617
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1618
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1619
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1620
1621
BUGFIXES:
1622
1623
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1624
(vila, #92195)
1625
1626
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1627
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1628
1629
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1630
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1631
1632
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1633
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1634
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1635
1636
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1637
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1638
1639
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1640
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1641
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1642
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1643
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1644
1645
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1646
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1647
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1648
1649
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1653
=======================
1654
1655
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1656
1657
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1658
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1659
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1660
1661
IMPROVEMENTS:
1662
1663
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1664
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1665
1666
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1667
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1668
1669
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1670
1671
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1672
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1673
1674
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1675
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1676
1677
INTERNALS:
1678
1679
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1680
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1681
1682
BUGFIXES:
1683
1684
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1685
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1686
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1687
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1688
1689
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1690
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1691
1692
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1693
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1694
1695
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1696
(Marien Zwart)
1697
1698
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1699
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

1702
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1703
=======================
1704
1705
SURPRISES:
1706
1707
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1708
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1709
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1710
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1711
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1712
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1713
1714
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1715
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1716
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1717
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1718
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1719
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1720
development.
1721
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1722
1723
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1724
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1725
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1726
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1727
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1728
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1729
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1730
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1731
1732
IMPROVEMENTS:
1733
1734
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1735
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1736
1737
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1738
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1739
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1740
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1741
does exist.
1742
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1743
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1744
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1745
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1746
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1747
1748
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1749
(Aaron Bentley)
1750
1751
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1752
(Aaron Bentley)
1753
1754
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1755
(Robert Collins)
1756
1757
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1758
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1759
(Aaron Bentley)
1760
1761
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1762
(Aaron Bentley)
1763
1764
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1765
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1766
1767
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1768
directory. (Martin Pool)
1769
1770
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1771
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1772
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1773
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1774
1775
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1776
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1777
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1778
in docs/configuration.txt.
1779
1780
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1781
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1782
bind location.
1783
1784
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1785
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1786
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1787
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1788
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1789
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1790
1791
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1792
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1793
1794
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1795
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1796
1797
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1798
(Aaron Bentley)
1799
1800
INTERNALS:
1801
1802
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1803
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1804
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1805
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1806
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1807
(John Arbash Meinel)
1808
1809
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1810
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1811
(Aaron Bentley)
1812
1813
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1814
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1815
(John Arbash Meinel)
1816
1817
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1818
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1819
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1820
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1821
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1822
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1823
1824
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1825
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1826
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1827
1828
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1829
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1830
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1831
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1832
repository.
1833
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1834
1835
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1836
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1837
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1838
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1839
1840
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1841
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1842
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1843
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1844
1845
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1846
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1847
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1848
1849
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1850
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1851
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1852
1853
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1854
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1855
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1856
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1857
1858
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1859
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1860
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1861
1862
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1863
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1864
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1865
1866
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1867
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1868
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1869
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1870
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1871
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1872
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1873
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1874
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1877
1878
BUGFIXES:
1879
1880
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1881
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1882
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1883
1884
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1885
(Aaron Bentley)
1886
1887
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1888
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1889
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1890
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1891
1892
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1893
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1894
#83954).
1895
1896
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1897
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1898
1899
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1900
1901
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1902
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1903
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1904
1905
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1906
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1907
1908
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1909
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1910
1911
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1912
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1913
1914
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1915
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1916
1917
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1918
1919
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1920
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1921

TESTING:
1923
1924

1931
IMPROVEMENTS:
1932
1933
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1934
1935
BUG FIXES:
1936
1937
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1938
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1939
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1940
1941
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1942
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1943
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1946
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1947
=======================
1948
1949
IMPROVEMENTS:
1950
1951
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1952
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1953
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1954
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1955
1956
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1957
(Marius Kruger)
1958
1959
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1960
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1961
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1962
1963
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1964
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1965
1966
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1967
(Aaron Bentley)
1968
1969
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1970
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1971
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1972
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1973
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1974
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1975
1976
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1977
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1978
should enable you to do::
1979
1980
[/home/user/project]
1981
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1982
push_location:policy = appendpath
1983
1984
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1985
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1986
(James Henstridge)
1987
1988
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1989
for each file. For example::
1990
1991
$ bzr status --short
1992
A foo
1993
A bar
1994
D baz
1995
? wooley
1996
1997
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1998
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1999
2000
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2001
2002
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2003
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2004
2005
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2006
2007
INTERNALS:
2008
2009
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2010
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2011
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2012
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2013
2014
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2015
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2016
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2017
2018
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2019
2020
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2021
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2022
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2023
(Alexander Belchenko)
2024
2025
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2026
Pool)
2027
2028
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2029
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2030
2031
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2032
2033
BUG FIXES:
2034
2035
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2036
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2037
2038
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2039
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2040
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2041
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2042
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2043
2044
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2045
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2046
2047
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2048
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2049
2050
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2051
matcher.
2052
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2053
2054
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2055
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2056
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2057
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2058
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2059
2060
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2061
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2062
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2063
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2064
2065
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2066
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2067
2068
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2069
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2070
2071
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2072
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2073
2074
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2087
2088
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2089
tree from a branch.
2090
(Daniel Silverstone)
2091
2092
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2093
operations are substantially faster.
2094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2095
2096
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2097
tree from some other url. For example:
2098
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2099
(Daniel Silverstone)
2100
2101
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2102
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2103
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2104
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2105
2106
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2107
(Andrew Bennetts)
2108
2109
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2110
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2111
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2112
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2113
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2114
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2115
2116
INTERNALS:
2117
2118
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2119
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2120
(Martin Pool)
2121
2122
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2123
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2124
(John Arbash Meinel)
2125
2126
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2127
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2128
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2129
(John Arbash Meinel)
2130
2131
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2132
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2133
2134
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2135
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2136
2137
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2138
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2139
Bennetts)
2140
2141
BUG FIXES:
2142
2143
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2144
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2145
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2146
2147
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2148
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2149
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2150
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2151
2152
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2153
2154
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2155
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2156
2157
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2158
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2159
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2161
2162
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2163
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2164
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2165
2166
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2167
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2168
them as full references rather than integers.
2169
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2170
2171
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2172
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2173
2174
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2175
2176
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2177
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2178
2179
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2180
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2181
2182
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2183
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2184
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2185
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2186
2187
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2188
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2189
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2190
2191
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2192
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2193
2194
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2195
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2196
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2197
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2198
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2199
2200
TESTING:
2201
2202
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2203
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2215
=======================
2216
2217
IMPROVEMENTS:
2218
2219
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2220
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2221
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2222
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2223
2224
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2225
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2226
2227
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2228
2229
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2230
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2231
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2232
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2233
2234
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2235
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2236
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2237
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2238
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2239
2240
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2241
2242
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2243
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2244
2245
INTERNALS:
2246
2247
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2248
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2249
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2250
2251
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2252
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2253
(John Arbash Meinel)
2254
2255
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2256
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2257
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2258
2259
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2260
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2261
(Aaron Bentley)
2262
2263
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2264
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2265
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2266
2267
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2268
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2269
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2270
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2271
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2272
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2273
2274
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2275
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2276
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2277
(Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2280
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)

* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2285
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2286
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2287
#63360, #66349)
2288
2289
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2290
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2291
2292
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2293
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2294
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2295
2296
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2297
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2298
2299
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2300
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2301
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2302
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2303
2304
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2305
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2306
2307
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2308
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2309
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2310
2311
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2312
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2313
2314
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2315
2316
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2317
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2318
#32054)
2319
2320
TESTING:
2321
2322
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2323
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2324
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2325
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2326
2327
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2328
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2329
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2330
2331
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
2332
====================
2333
2334
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2335
2336
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2337
=======================
2338
2339
BUG FIXES:
2340
2341
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2342
2343
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2344
Arbash Meinel).
2345
2346
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2347
=======================
2348
2349
IMPROVEMENTS:
2350
2351
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2352
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2353
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2354
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2355
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2356
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2357
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2358
2359
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2360
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2361
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2362
2363
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2364
2365
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2366
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2367
2368
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2369
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2370
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2371
(Robert Collins)
2372
2373
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2374
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2375
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2376
(John Arbash Meinel)
2377
2378
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2379
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2380
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2381
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2382
Pool)
2383
2384
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2385
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2386
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2387
(John Arbash Meinel)
2388
2389
BUG FIXES:
2390
2391
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2392
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2393
2394
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2395
2396
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2397
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2398
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2399
2400
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2401
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2402
2403
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2404
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2405
2406
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2407
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2408
2409
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2410
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2411
2412
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2413
2414
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2415
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2416
2417
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2418
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2419
2420
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2421
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2422
2423
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2424
(John Arbash Meinel)
2425
2426
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2427
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2428
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2429
2430
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2431
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2432
2433
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2434
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2435
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2436
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2437
2438
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2439
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2440
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2441
2442
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2443
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2444
2445
PORTABILITY:
2446
2447
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2448
2449
INTERNALS:
2450
2451
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2452
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2453
(John Arbash Meinel)
2454
2455
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2456
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2457
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2458
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2459
2460
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2461
(Andrew Bennetts)
2462
2463
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2464
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2465
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2466
2467
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2468
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2469
2470
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2471
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2472
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2473
2474
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2475
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2476
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2477
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2478
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2479
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2480
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2481
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2482
caller to repeat their request.
2483
(John Arbash Meinel)
2484
2485
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2486
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2487
2488
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2489
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2490
2491
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2492
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2493
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2494
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2495
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2496
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2497
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2498
2499
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2500
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2501
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2502
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2503
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2504
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2505
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2506
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2507
(Robert Collins)
2508
2509
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2510
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2511
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2512
2513
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2514
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2517
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2518
2519
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2520
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2521
2522
TESTING:
2523
2524
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2525
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2526
2527
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2528
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2529
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2532
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2533
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2534
2535
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2536
====================
2537
2538
IMPROVEMENTS:
2539
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2540
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2541
2542
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2543
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2544
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2545
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2546
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2547
2548
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2549
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2550
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2551
2552
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2553
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2554
2555
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2556
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2557
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2558
2559
BUG FIXES:
2560
2561
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2562
2563
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2564
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2565
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2566
2567
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2568
2569
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2570
2571
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2572
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2573
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2574
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2575
2576
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2577
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2578
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2579
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2580
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2581
2582
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2583
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2584
2585
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2586
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2587
2588
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2589
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2590
2591
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2592
in handling of revision properties.
2593
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2594
2595
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2596
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2597
2598
INTERNALS:
2599
2600
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2601
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2602
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2603
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2604
(John Arbash Meinel)
2605
2606
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2607
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2608
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2609
2610
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2611
=====================
2612
2613
SURPRISES:
2614
2615
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2616
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2617
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2618
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2619
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2620
a more conservative list than the old default.
2621
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2622
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2623
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2624
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2625
2626
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2627
to more locations than just branch locations.
2628
(Aaron Bentley)
2629
2630
IMPROVEMENTS:
2631
2632
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2633
revno:N:branch. For example,
2634
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2635
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2636
2637
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2638
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2639
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2640
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2641
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2642
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2643
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2644
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2645
#42517, #42514)
2646
2647
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2648
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2649
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2650
(Malone #3507)
2651
2652
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2653
(Alexander Belchenko)
2654
2655
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2656
2657
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2658
(Robert Collins).
2659
2660
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2661
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2662
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2663
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2664
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2665
(John Arbash Meinel)
2666
2667
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2668
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2669
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2670
grained analysis of performance.
2671
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2672
2673
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2674
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2675
2676
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2677
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2678
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2679
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2680
file. (Robert Collins).
2681
2682
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2683
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2684
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2685
2686
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2687
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2688
Matthieu Moy)
2689
2690
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2691
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2692
2693
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2694
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2695
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2696
the same way you would apply another branch.
2697
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2698
2699
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2700
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2701
2702
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2703
(Michael Ellerman)
2704
2705
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2706
(Aaron Bentley)
2707
2708
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2709
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2710
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2711
2712
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2713
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2714
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2715
2716
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2717
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2718
2719
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2720
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2721
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2722
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2723
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2724
2725
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2726
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2727
2728
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2729
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2730
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2731
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2732
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2733
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2734
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2735
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2736
2737
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2738
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2739
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2740
2741
BUG FIXES:
2742
2743
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2744
tests not to run.
2745
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2746
2747
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2748
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2749
2750
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2751
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2752
2753
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2754
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2755
2756
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2757
2758
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2759
(John Arbash Meinel)
2760
2761
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2762
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2763
2764
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2765
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2766
and y.
2767
2768
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2769
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2770
2771
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2772
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2773
2774
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2775
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2776
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2777
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2778
2779
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2780
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2781
2782
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2783
2784
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2785
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2786
2787
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2788
2789
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2790
2791
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2792
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2793
2794
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2795
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2796
2797
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2798
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2799
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2800
2801
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2802
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2803
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2804
2805
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2806
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2807
2808
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2809
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2810
2811
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2812
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2813
2814
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2815
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2816
2817
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2818
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2819
2820
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2821
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2822
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2823
2824
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2825
2826
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2827
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2828
2829
INTERNALS:
2830
2831
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2832
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2833
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2834
2835
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2836
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2837
2838
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2839
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2840
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2841
2842
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2843
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2844
2845
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2846
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2847
(Martin Pool)
2848
2849
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2850
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2851
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2852
2853
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2854
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2855
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2856
2857
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2858
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2859
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2860
2861
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2862
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2863
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2864
2865
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2866
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2867
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2868
2869
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2870
instead. (Robert Collins)
2871
2872
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2887
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2888
2889
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2890
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2891
2892
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2893
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2906
2907
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2908

2910
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2911
2912
NEW FEATURES:
2913
2914
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

2929
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2930
===================
2931
2932
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2933
2934
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2935
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2936
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2937
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2938
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2939
will keep the same format.
2940
2941
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2942
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2943
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2944
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2945
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2946
2947
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2948
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2949
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2950
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2951
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2952
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2953
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2954
2955
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2956
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2957
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2958
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2959
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2960
2961
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2962
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2963
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2964
arrangement.
2965
2966
2967
IMPROVEMENTS:
2968
2969
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2970
convention. Paths now take the form::
2971
2972
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2973
or
2974
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2975
2976
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2977
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2978
2979
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2980
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2981
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2982
2983
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2984
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2985
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2986
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2987
2988
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2989
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2990
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2991
2992
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2993
2994
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2995
2996
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2997
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2998
commits::
2999
3000
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3001
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3002
| xargs bzr re-sign
3003
3004
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3005
3006
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3007
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3008
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3009
(Robert Collins)
3010
3011
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3012
3013
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3014
3015
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3016
'.moved'.
3017
3018
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3019
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3020
3021
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3022
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3023
Daniel Silverstone)
3024
3025
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3026
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3027
Martin Pool)
3028
3029
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3030
3031
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3032
3033
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3034
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3035
3036
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3037
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3038
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3039
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3040
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3041
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3042
3043
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3044
3045
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3046
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3047
(Robert Collins)
3048
3049
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3050
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3051
3052
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3053
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3054
3055
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3056
3057
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3058
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3059
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3060
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3061
specification by Martin Pool.
3062
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3063
3064
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3065
Belchenko)
3066
3067
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3068
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3069
3070
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3071
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3072
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3073
3074
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3075
3076
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3077
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3078
(Robert Collins)
3079
3080
CHANGES:
3081
3082
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3083
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3084
3085
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3086
3087
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3088
3089
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3090
(Olaf Conradi)
3091
3092
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3093
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3094
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3095
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3096
3097
INTERNALS:
3098
3099
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3100
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3101
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3102
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3103
3104
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3105
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3106
tried. (Martin Pool)
3107
3108
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3109
(Martin Pool)
3110
3111
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3112
3113
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3114
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3115
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3116
3117
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3118
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3119
3120
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3121
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3122
paths. (Robert Collins)
3123
3124
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3125
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3126
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3127
3128
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3129
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3130
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3131
3132
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3133
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3134
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3135
3136
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3137
(Olaf Conradi)
3138
3139
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3140
(Olaf Conradi)
3141
3142
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3143
3144
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3147
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3148
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3149
(Robert Collins)
3150
3151
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3152
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3153
3154
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3155
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3156
check. (Robert Collins)
3157
3158
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3159
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3160
3161
TESTING:
3162
3163
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3164
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3165
3166
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3167
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3168
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3169
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3170
3171
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3172
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3173
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3174
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3175
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3176
3177
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3178
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3179
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3180
3181
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3182
3183
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3184
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

3187
==================
3188
3189
CHANGES:
3190
3191
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3192
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3193
3194
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3195
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3196
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3197
(Johan Rydberg)
3198
3199
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3200
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3201
3202
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3203
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3204
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3205
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3206
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3207
3208
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3209
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3210
used. (Robert Collins)
3211
3212
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3213
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3214
(James Henstridge)
3215
3216
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3217
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3218
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3219
3220
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3221
ignore list.
3222
3223
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3224
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3225
3226
IMPROVEMENTS:
3227
3228
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3229
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3230
3231
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3232
3233
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3234
3235
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3236
tree. (Robert Collins)
3237
3238
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3239
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3240
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3241
(Robert Collins)
3242
3243
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3244
that they be kept.
3245
3246
* Tweaks to short log printing
3247
3248
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3249
(Aaron Bentley)
3250
3251
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3252
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3253
3254
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3255
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3256
3257
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3258
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3259
3260
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3261
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3262
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3263
3264
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3265
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3266
3267
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3268
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3269
requests.
3270
3271
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3272
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3273
3274
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3275
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3276
3277
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3278
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3279
3280
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3281
(Denys Duchier)
3282
3283
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3284
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3285
3286
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3287
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3288
3289
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3290
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3291
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3292
3293
BUG FIXES:
3294
3295
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3296
3297
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3298
3299
* Error when run with -OO
3300
3301
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3302
(Martin Pool)
3303
3304
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3305
3306
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3307
3308
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3309
ignored by diff and status
3310
3311
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3312
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3313
3314
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3315
3316
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3317
3318
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3319
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3320
3321
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3322
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3323
3324
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3325
(Harald Meland)
3326
3327
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3328
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3329
3330
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3331
3332
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3333
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3334
3335
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3336
(Martin Pool)
3337
3338
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3339
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3340
3341
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3342
3343
TESTING:
3344
3345
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3346
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3347
3348
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3349
3350
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3351
3352
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3353
3354
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3355
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3356
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3357
3358
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3359
3360
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3361
(John Arbash Meinel)
3362
3363
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3364
3365
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3366
If adding a new test script please add that to
3367
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3368
3369
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3370
imported. (Martin Pool)
3371
3372
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3373
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3374
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3375
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3376
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3377
(Robert Collins)
3378
3379
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3380
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3381
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3382
3383
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3384
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3385
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3386
3387
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3388
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3389
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3390
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3391
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3392
(Robert Collins).
3393
3394
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3395
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3396
(Robert Collins).
3397
3398
INTERNALS:
3399
3400
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3401
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3402
3403
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3404
function. (Robert Collins)
3405
3406
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3407
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3408
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3409
3410
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3411
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3412
(Robert Collins)
3413
3414
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3415
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3416
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3417
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3418
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3419
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3420
version. (Robert Collins)
3421
3422
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3423
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3424
3425
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3426
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3427
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3428
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3429
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3430
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3431
3432
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3433
(Robert Collins)
3434
3435
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3436
3437
add()
3438
commit()
3439
move()
3440
rename_one()
3441
unknowns()
3442
3443
(Robert Collins)
3444
3445
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3446
3447
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3448
3449
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3450
Pool)
3451
3452
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3453
query method. (Robert Collins)
3454
3455
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3456
(Denys Duchier)
3457
3458
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3459
(Michael Ellerman)
3460
3461
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3462
(Michael Ellerman)
3463
3464
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3465
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3466
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3467
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3468
3469
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3470
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3471
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3472
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3473
3474
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3475
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3476
3477
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3478
==================
3479
3480
IMPROVEMENTS:
3481
3482
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3483
(John A Meinel)
3484
3485
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3486
conflicts.
3487
(Aaron Bentley)
3488
3489
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3490
a separator, not ':'.
3491
(Aaron Bentley)
3492
3493
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3494
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3495
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3496
3497
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3498
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3499
(Robert Collins)
3500
3501
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3502
has been added that suppresses all output.
3503
3504
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3505
Adams.
3506
3507
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3508
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3509
3510
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3511
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3512
3513
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3514
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3515
3516
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3517
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3518
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3519
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3520
3521
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3522
3523
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3524
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3525
3526
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3527
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3528
3529
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3530
output directory, if one was supplied.
3531
3532
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3533
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3534
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3535
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3536
3537
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3538
3539
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3540
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3541
3542
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3543
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3544
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3545
3546
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3547
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3548
3549
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3550
(Aaron Bentley)
3551
3552
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3553
3554
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3555
3556
TESTING:
3557
3558
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3559
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3560
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3561
3562
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3563
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3564
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3565
3566
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3567
is given. (Martin Pool)
3568
3569
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3570
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3571
file. (Robert Collins)
3572
3573
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3574
(Martin Pool)
3575
3576
INTERNALS:
3577
3578
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3579
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3580
representation. (Martin Pool).
3581
3582
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3583
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3584
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3585
3586
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3587
(Robert Collins)
3588
3589
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3590
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3591
Magnus Therning.
3592
3593
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3594
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3595
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3596
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3597
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3598
3599
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3600
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3601
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3602
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3603
python path. (Robert Collins)
3604
3605
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3606
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3607
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3608
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3609
3610
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3611
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3612
3613
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3614
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3615
(Robert Collins)
3616
3617
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3618
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3619
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3620
3621
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3622
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3623
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3624
3625
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3626
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3627
3628
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3629
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3630
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3631
(Robert Collins)
3632
3633
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3634
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3635
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3636
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3637
(Robert Collins)
3638
3639
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3640
(Robert Collins)
3641
3642
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3643
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3644
(Robert Collins)
3645
3646
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3647
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3648
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3649
3650
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3651
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3652
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3653
3654
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3655
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3656
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3657
3658
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3659
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3660
3661
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3662
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3663
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3664
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3665
caller. (Robert Collins)
3666
3667
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3668
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3669
(Robert Collins).
3670
3671
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3672
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3673
(Aaron Bentley)
3674
3675
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3676
3677
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3678
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3679
3680
BUG FIXES:
3681
3682
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3683
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3684
3685
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3686
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3689
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3690
====================
3691
3692
BUG FIXES:
3693
3694
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3695
allow directories to be listed.
3696
3697
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3698
upgrading branch format.
3699
3700
PERFORMANCE:
3701
3702
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3703
3704
3705
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3706
==================
3707
3708
NOTES:
3709
3710
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3711
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3712
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3713
high-latency connections.
3714
3715
BUG FIXES:
3716
3717
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3718
Rob Weir.
3719
3720
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3721
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3722
3723
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3724
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3725
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3726
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3727
3728
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3729
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3730
3731
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3732
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3733
3734
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3735
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3736
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3737
3738
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3739
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3740
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3741
Robert Collins
3742
3743
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3744
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3745
3746
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3747
different partial views of history.
3748
3749
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3750
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3751
3752
IMPROVEMENTS:
3753
3754
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3755
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3756
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3757
3758
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3759
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3760
'bzr upgrade'.
3761
3762
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3763
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3764
3765
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3766
Niemeyer.
3767
3768
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3769
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3770
3771
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3772
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3773
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3774
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3775
3776
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3777
3778
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3779
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3780
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3781
3782
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3783
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3784
3785
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3786
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3787
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3788
3789
3790
INTERNALS:
3791
3792
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3793
for your viewing pleasure.
3794
3795
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3796
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3797
3798
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3799
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3800
handling of such circumstances.
3801
3802
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3803
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3804
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3805
3806
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3807
3808
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3809
we call them revisions not patches.
3810
3811
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3812
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3813
3814
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3815
giving the revision *of that file*.
3816
3817
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3818
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3819
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3820
3821
TESTING:
3822
3823
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3824
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3825
3826
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3827
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3828
3829
3830
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3831
====================
3832
3833
BUG FIXES:
3834
3835
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3836
3837
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3838
(Robert Collins).
3839
3840
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3841
3842
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3843
3844
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3845
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3846
3847
IMPROVEMENTS:
3848
3849
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3850
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3851
3852
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3853
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3854
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3855
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3856
Robey Pointer
3857
3858
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3859
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3860
3861
INTERNALS:
3862
3863
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3864
3865
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3866
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3867
3868
3869
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3870
====================
3871
3872
IMPROVEMENTS:
3873
3874
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3875
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3876
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3877
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3878
Michael Ellerman.
3879
3880
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3881
(Nir Soffer)
3882
3883
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3884
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3885
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3886
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3887
for the operating system is still tried.
3888
3889
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3890
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3891
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3892
3893
3894
INTERNALS:
3895
3896
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3897
3898
BUG FIXES:
3899
3900
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3901
3902
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3903
branch.
3904
3905
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3906
read.
3907
3908
3909
PORTABILITY:
3910
3911
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3912
3913
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3914
3915
3916
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3917
====================
3918
3919
NEW FEATURES:
3920
3921
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3922
help with intelligent shell completion.
3923
3924
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3925
3926
3927
ENHANCEMENTS:
3928
3929
* Much better merge support.
3930
3931
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3932
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3933
like emacs smerge.
3934
3935
3936
BUG FIXES:
3937
3938
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3939
mention revisions that are not present.
3940
3941
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3942
3943
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3944
3945
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3946
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3947
3948
3949
CHANGES:
3950
3951
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3952
3953
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3954
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3955
--help themselves.
3956
3957
3958
LIBRARY:
3959
3960
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3961
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3962
libraries.
3963
3964
3965
3966
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3967
====================
3968
3969
NEW FEATURES:
3970
3971
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3972
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3973
3974
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3975
3976
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3977
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3978
3979
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3980
FOO.
3981
3982
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3983
3984
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3985
the Unix command.
3986
3987
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3988
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3989
3990
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3991
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3992
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3993
3994
3995
ENHANCEMENTS:
3996
3997
* Faster working tree operations.
3998
3999
4000
CHANGES:
4001
4002
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4003
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4004
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4005
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4006
4007
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4008
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4009
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4010
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4011
standard plugins directory.
4012
4013
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4014
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4015
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4016
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4017
4018
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4019
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4020
4021
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4022
disk.
4023
4024
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4025
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4026
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4027
4028
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4029
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4030
4031
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4032
line options must come before the command name because they
4033
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4034
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4035
it.
4036
4037
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4038
4039
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4040
is available with ``--short``.
4041
4042
4043
BUG FIXES:
4044
4045
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4046
4047
4048
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4049
=====================
4050
4051
CHANGES:
4052
4053
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4054
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4055
4056
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4057
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4058
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4059
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4060
4061
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4062
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4063
with the ``--forward`` option.
4064
4065
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4066
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4067
field.
4068
4069
4070
ENHANCEMENTS:
4071
4072
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4073
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4074
4075
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4076
4077
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4078
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4079
4080
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4081
4082
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4083
either read or write mode.
4084
4085
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4086
4087
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4088
affected that file.
4089
4090
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4091
4092
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4093
suggested by LarstiQ.
4094
4095
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4096
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4097
4098
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4099
a filename.
4100
4101
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4102
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4103
4104
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4105
haven't changed since the previous time.
4106
4107
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4108
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4109
4110
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4111
4112
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4113
4114
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4115
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4116
4117
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4118
options through to an external GNU diff.
4119
4120
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4121
their contents.
4122
4123
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4124
from a branch.
4125
4126
4127
BUG FIXES:
4128
4129
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4130
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4131
4132
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4133
metacharacters.
4134
4135
4136
TESTING:
4137
4138
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4139
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4140
the tests.
4141
4142
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4143
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4144
4145
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4146
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4147
4148
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4149
under a different version.
4150
4151
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4152
4153
4154
INTERNAL:
4155
4156
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4157
4158
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4159
Scott James Remnant.
4160
4161
* Better help messages for many commands.
4162
4163
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4164
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4165
4166
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4167
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4168
4169
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4170
4171
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4172
4173
* New AtomicFile class.
4174
4175
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4176
4177
4178
PORTABILITY:
4179
4180

4185
=====================
4186
4187
ENHANCEMENTS:
4188
4189
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4190
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4191
4192
* More default ignore patterns.
4193
4194
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4195
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4196
4197
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4198
4199
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4200
by Jason Diamon.
4201
4202
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4203
4204
4205
CHANGES:
4206
4207
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4208
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4209
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4210
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4211
there are DNS problems.
4212
4213
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4214
4215
4216
BUG FIXES:
4217
4218
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4219
4220
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4221
4222
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4223
trailing newlines properly.
4224
4225
4226
INTERNAL:
4227
4228
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4229
Matt Brubeck.
4230
4231
* More tests in test.sh.
4232
4233
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4234
directory and delete it when done.
4235
4236
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4237
4238
4239
PORTABILITY:
4240
4241

4242
Bennetts.

4245
from QuantumG.

4268
CHANGES:
4269
4270
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4271
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4272
will do for now.)
4273
4274
PORTABILITY:
4275
4276
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4277
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4278
Nielsen.
4279
4280

4309

4310
4311
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4312
branch.
4313
4314
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4315
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4316
4317
* Performance improvements.
4318
4319
* New global --profile option.
4320
4321
