14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
40
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
41
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
43
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
44
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
46
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
47
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
48
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
49
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
51
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
54
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
55
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
57
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
58
the contents. (Robert Collins)
62
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
63
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
65
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
66
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
68
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
69
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
71
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
76
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
77
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
78
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
79
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
80
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
82
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
83
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
85
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
87
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
89
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
90
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
92
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
93
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
95
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
96
contains a symbolic link.
97
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
99
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
100
(James Westby, #140615)
102
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
103
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
104
(Martin Pool, #144633)
106
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
109
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
113
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
114
directory to detect leaking tests.
115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
117
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
118
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
119
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
121
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
124
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
125
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
129
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
130
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
131
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
133
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
134
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
135
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
137
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
138
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
140
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
141
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
144
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
145
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
147
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
151
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
152
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
154
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
155
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
156
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
158
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
159
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
160
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
163
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
164
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
165
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
166
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
171
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
172
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
173
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
175
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
176
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
177
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
178
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
180
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
181
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
184
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
185
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
186
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
188
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
189
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
190
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
192
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
193
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
194
to complete. (Robert Collins)
196
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
197
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
199
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
200
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
201
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
203
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
204
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
205
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
206
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
208
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
209
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
210
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
211
returned. (Robert Collins)
213
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
214
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
216
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
217
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
218
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
219
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
224
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
225
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
227
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
228
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
229
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
230
makes this behavior available to other users.
239
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
240
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
241
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
243
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
245
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
246
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
247
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
248
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
250
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
251
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
255
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
256
======================
258
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
262
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
263
======================
267
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
268
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
269
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
270
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
273
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
274
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
275
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
280
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
281
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
282
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
285
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
286
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
287
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
289
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
290
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
291
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
293
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
294
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
296
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
297
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
298
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
299
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
300
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
301
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
302
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
303
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
304
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
305
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
307
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
308
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
312
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
313
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
315
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
316
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
317
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
319
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
320
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
322
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
323
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
325
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
328
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
329
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
331
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
332
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
334
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
335
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
337
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
338
(Blake Winton, #129299)
340
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
342
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
345
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
346
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
347
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
348
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
350
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
352
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
353
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
356
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
357
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
359
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
360
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
363
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
364
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
366
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
367
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
369
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
370
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
371
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
372
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
373
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
374
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
375
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
377
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
378
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
380
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
381
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
383
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
384
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
386
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
389
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
393
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
394
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
396
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
397
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
398
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
400
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
401
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
402
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
406
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
407
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
409
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
412
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
415
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
416
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
418
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
420
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
421
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
423
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
424
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
426
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
427
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
428
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
429
space). (Robert Collins)
431
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
432
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
435
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
436
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
438
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
439
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
441
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
442
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
443
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
444
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
446
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
447
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
448
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
451
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
454
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
455
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
456
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
460
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
461
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
463
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
464
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
465
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
466
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
467
affected. (Robert Collins)
469
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
470
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
471
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
474
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
475
previous release. (Martin Pool)
479
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
480
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
482
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
483
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
485
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
486
previous release. (Martin Pool)
488
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
491
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
492
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
496
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
497
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
498
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
499
its version information. (Robert Collins)
501
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
502
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
504
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
505
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
506
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
507
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
509
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
510
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
511
present. (Robert Collins)
513
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
514
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
515
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
516
API. (Robert Collins)
518
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
519
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
522
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
523
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
525
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
526
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
527
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
528
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
529
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
530
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
532
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
533
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
534
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
536
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
537
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
538
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
539
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
542
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
545
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
546
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
547
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
548
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
549
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
550
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
551
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
553
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
554
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
555
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
556
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
558
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
559
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
560
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
561
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
562
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
563
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
565
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
566
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
567
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
569
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
570
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
578
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
579
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
580
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
581
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
582
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
583
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
584
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
585
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
590
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
591
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
592
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

600
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
601
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
602
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
603
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
604
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
606
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
607
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
609
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
613
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
614
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
617
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
618
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
621
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
624
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
625
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
627
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
628
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
630
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
631
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
633
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
634
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
636
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
637
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
639
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
644
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
645
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
647
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
648
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
650
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
651
the repository (Robert Collins)
653
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
654
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
655
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
656
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
657
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
659
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
660
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
662
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
663
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
666
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
667
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
668
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
670
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
671
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
672
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
675
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
676
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
679
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
680
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
682
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
685
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
687
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
689
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
690
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
692
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
693
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
696
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
697
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
698
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
699
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
701
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
702
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
703
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
705
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
706
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
707
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
709
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
710
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
712
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
713
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
714
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
715
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
716
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
717
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
720
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
721
(Alexander Belchenko)
723
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
724
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
726
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
727
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
729
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
731
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
732
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
736
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
737
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
738
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
739
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
741
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
743
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
746
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
747
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
748
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
749
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
750
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
751
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
755
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
756
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
757
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
758
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
760
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
761
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
762
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
763
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
764
tests have been refactored too.
767
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
768
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
769
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
773
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
774
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
775
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
777
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
778
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
779
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
780
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
781
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
782
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
783
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
785
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
786
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
787
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
788
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
791
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
792
functionality for testing.
794
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
796
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
797
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
799
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
801
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
804
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
805
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
807
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
808
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
809
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
811
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
814
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
815
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
817
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
818
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
819
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
820
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
822
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
823
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
825
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
826
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
827
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
829
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
832
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
833
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
834
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
835
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
836
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
837
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
839
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
840
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
841
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
842
many files. (Robert Collins)
844
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
845
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
846
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
847
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
851
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
852
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
853
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
855
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
856
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
858
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
859
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
860
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
868
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
871
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
872
=======================
876
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
877
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
879
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
880
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
881
(James Westby, #122656)
883
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
884
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
886
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
887
authentication header.
888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
890
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
892
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
893
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
895
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
897
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
900
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
901
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
904
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
905
individually and as part of revision ranges.
908
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
909
(Martin Pool, #109169)
911
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
912
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
914
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
915
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
917
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
919
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
923
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
924
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
925
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
926
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
927
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
928
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
930
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
931
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
932
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
934
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
937
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
938
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
940
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
941
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
943
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
944
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
946
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
947
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
948
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
949
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
950
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
952
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
953
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
955
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
956
can be slow it is useful feedback).
957
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
959
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
960
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
962
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
964
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
965
output. (Aaron Bentley)
967
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
968
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
971
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
974
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
975
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
977
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
978
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
980
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
981
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
983
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
985
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
986
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
988
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
994
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
995
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
996
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
997
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
998
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
999
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1000
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1001
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1002
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1003
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1004
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1005
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1006
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1007
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1008
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1009
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1010
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1013
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1015
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1016
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1017
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1019
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1020
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1022
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1023
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1025
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1027
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1028
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1029
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1030
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1031
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1032
same location. (Robert Collins)
1036
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1038
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1040
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1042
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1045
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1048
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1049
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1050
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1052
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1054
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1055
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1056
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1058
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1059
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1061
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1062
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1063
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1065
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1066
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1067
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1069
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1070
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1071
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1073
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1074
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1077
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1078
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1080
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1081
(Alexander Belchenko)
1085
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1086
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1087
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1088
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1090
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1091
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1092
testing. (Robert Collins)
1094
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1095
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1097
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1098
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1099
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1100
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1101
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1102
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1103
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1105
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1106
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1107
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1108
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1110
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1111
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1113
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1114
avoid useless cloning.
1115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1119
====================
1123
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1124
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1126
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

1131
=======================
1133
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1135
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1136
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1137
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1138
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1139
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1140
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1141
and unlock() like so::
1143
work_tree.lock_read()
1145
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1150
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1151
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1153
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1154
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1155
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1157
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1158
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1159
too. (Robert Collins)
1163
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1164
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1167
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1168
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1170
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1171
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1173
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1174
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1175
understanding what changes have occurred
1176
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1178
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1179
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1180
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1182
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1183
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1184
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1185
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1187
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1192
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1193
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1194
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1195
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1196
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1198
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1199
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1200
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1202
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1205
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1209
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1210
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1212
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1213
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1215
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1216
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1218
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1219
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1221
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1222
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1224
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1225
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1226
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1229
====================
1233
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1234
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1235
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1236
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1237
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1239
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1240
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1241
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1243
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1244
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1248
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1249
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1250
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1252
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1253
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1254
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1255
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1257
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1258
=======================
1262
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1263
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1264
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1265
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1267
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1268
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1269
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1271
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1272
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1274
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1275
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1277
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1278
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1280
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1281
=======================
1283
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1285
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1286
it could be recovered again.
1287
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1288
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1289
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1291
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1293
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1294
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1298
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1299
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1301
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1302
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1303
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1304
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1306
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1307
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1309
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1310
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1311
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1313
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1314
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1315
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1317
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1318
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1319
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1321
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1322
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1325
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1328
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1329
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1330
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1331
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1333
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1336
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1337
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1338
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1341
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1342
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1344
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1345
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1347
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1348
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1349
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1350
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1353
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1354
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1356
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1357
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1359
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1360
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1361
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1363
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1364
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1365
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1367
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1368
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1369
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1371
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1372
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1373
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1374
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1376
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1377
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1378
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1379
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1381
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1382
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1383
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1384
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1385
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1386
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1387
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1388
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1394
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1395
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1397
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1398
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1399
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1400
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1401
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1403
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1404
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1406
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1407
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1409
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1410
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1412
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1413
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1415
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1416
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1417
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1420
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1421
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1422
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1423
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1424
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1427
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1428
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1429
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1431
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1432
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1435
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1436
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1437
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1440
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1441
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1442
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1443
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1444
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1446
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1447
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1448
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1449
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1451
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1452
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1454
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1455
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1456
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1457
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1458
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1459
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1461
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1462
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1464
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1465
help. (Robert Collins)
1467
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1468
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1470
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1471
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1472
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1473
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1474
(John Arbash Meinel)
1476
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1477
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1478
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1479
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1480
useful. (Robert Collins)
1482
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1487
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1488
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1490
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1491
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1493
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1494
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1495
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1497
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1500
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1501
the file, and does it faster.
1502
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1504
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1505
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1506
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1508
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1509
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1510
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1511
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1513
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1514
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1515
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1516
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1518
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1519
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1521
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1522
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1523
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1524
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1527
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1529
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1530
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1532
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1533
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1535
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1536
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1537
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1538
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1542
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1543
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1547
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1548
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1549
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1551
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1552
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1554
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1555
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1556
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1557
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1558
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1559
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1560
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1561
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1563
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1564
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1565
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1567
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1568
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1569
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1570
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1571
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1573
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1575
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1576
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1577
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1579
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1580
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1588
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1591
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1592
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1595
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1596
=======================
1600
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1601
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1606
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1607
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1608
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1609
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1610
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1611
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1612
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1613
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1618
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1619
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1620
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1622
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1623
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1626
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1627
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1628
(John Arbash Meinel)
1630
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1631
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1632
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1633
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1634
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1638
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1641
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1642
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1644
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1645
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1647
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1648
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1649
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1651
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1652
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1654
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1655
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1656
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1657
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1658
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1660
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1661
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1662
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1664
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1667
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1668
=======================
1670
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1672
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1673
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1674
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1678
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1679
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1681
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1682
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1684
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1686
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1687
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1689
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1690
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1694
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1699
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1700
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1701
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1702
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1704
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1705
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1707
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1708
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1710
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1713
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1714
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1717
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1718
=======================
1722
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1723
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1724
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1725
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1726
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1727
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1729
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1730
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1731
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1732
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1733
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1734
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1736
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1738
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1739
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1740
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1741
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1742
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1743
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1744
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1745
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1749
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1750
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1752
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1753
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1754
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1755
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1757
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1758
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1759
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1760
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1761
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1763
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1766
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1769
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1772
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1773
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1776
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1779
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1780
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1782
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1783
directory. (Martin Pool)
1785
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1786
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1787
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1788
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1790
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1791
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1792
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1793
in docs/configuration.txt.
1795
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1796
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1799
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1800
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1801
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1802
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1803
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1804
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1806
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1807
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1809
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1810
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1812
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1817
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1818
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1819
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1820
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1821
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1822
(John Arbash Meinel)
1824
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1825
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1828
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1829
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1830
(John Arbash Meinel)
1832
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1833
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1834
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1835
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1836
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1837
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1839
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1840
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1841
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1843
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1844
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1845
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1846
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1848
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1850
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1851
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1852
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1853
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1855
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1856
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1857
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1858
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1860
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1861
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1862
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1864
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1865
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1866
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1868
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1869
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1870
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1871
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1873
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1874
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1875
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1877
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1878
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1879
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1881
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1882
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1883
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1884
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1885
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1886
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1887
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1888
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1889
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1890
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1891
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1895
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1896
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1897
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1899
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1902
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1903
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1904
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1905
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1907
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1908
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1911
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1912
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1914
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1916
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1917
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1918
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1920
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1921
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1923
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1926
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1929
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1930
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1932
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1934
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1935
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1939
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1940
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1944
====================
1948
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1952
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1953
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1954
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1956
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1957
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1958
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1961
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1962
=======================
1966
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1967
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1968
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1969
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1971
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1974
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1975
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1976
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1978
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1979
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1981
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1984
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1985
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1986
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1987
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1988
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1989
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1991
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1992
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1993
should enable you to do::
1995
[/home/user/project]
1996
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1997
push_location:policy = appendpath
1999
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2000
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2003
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2004
for each file. For example::
2006
$ bzr status --short
2012
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2013
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2015
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2017
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2018
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2020
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2024
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2025
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2026
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2027
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2029
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2030
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2031
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2033
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2035
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2036
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2037
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2038
(Alexander Belchenko)
2040
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2043
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2044
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2046
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2050
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2051
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2053
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2054
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2055
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2056
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2057
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2059
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2060
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2062
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2063
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2065
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2067
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2069
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2070
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2071
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2072
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2073
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2075
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2076
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2077
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2078
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2080
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2081
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2083
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2084
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2086
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2087
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2089
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

No changes from 0.13rc1
2098
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2099
=======================
2103
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2105
(Daniel Silverstone)
2107
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2108
operations are substantially faster.
2109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2111
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2112
tree from some other url. For example:
2113
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2114
(Daniel Silverstone)
2116
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2117
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2118
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2119
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2121
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2124
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2125
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2126
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2127
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2128
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2129
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2133
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2134
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2137
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2138
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2139
(John Arbash Meinel)
2141
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2142
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2143
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2144
(John Arbash Meinel)
2146
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2147
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2149
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2150
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2152
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2153
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2158
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2159
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2160
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2162
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2163
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2164
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2165
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2167
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2169
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2170
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2172
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2173
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2174
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2177
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2178
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2179
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2181
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2182
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2183
them as full references rather than integers.
2184
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2186
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2187
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2189
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2191
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2192
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2194
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2195
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2197
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2198
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2199
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2200
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2202
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2203
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2204
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2206
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2207
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2209
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2210
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2211
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2212
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2213
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2217
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2218
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2221
====================
2225
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2226
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2227
(John Arbash Meinel)
2229
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2230
=======================
2234
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2235
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2236
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2237
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2239
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2240
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2242
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2244
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2245
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2246
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2247
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2249
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2250
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2251
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2252
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

API INCOMPATABILITY:
2257
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2258
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2262
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2263
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2264
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2266
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2267
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2268
(John Arbash Meinel)
2270
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2271
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2272
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2274
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2275
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2278
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2279
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2280
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2282
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2283
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2284
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2285
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2286
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2287
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2289
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2290
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2291
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2294
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2295
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2299
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2300
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2301
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2304
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2305
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2307
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2308
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2309
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2311
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2312
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2314
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2315
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2316
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2317
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2319
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2320
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2322
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2323
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2324
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2326
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2327
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2329
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2331
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2332
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2337
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2338
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2339
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2340
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2342
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2343
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2344
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2347
====================
2349
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2351
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2352
=======================
2356
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2358
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2361
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2362
=======================
2366
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2367
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2368
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2369
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2370
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2371
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2372
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2374
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2375
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2376
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2378
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2380
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2381
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2383
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2384
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2385
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2388
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2389
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2390
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2391
(John Arbash Meinel)
2393
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2394
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2395
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2396
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2399
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2400
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2401
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2402
(John Arbash Meinel)
2406
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2407
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2409
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2411
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2412
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2413
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2415
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2416
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2418
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2419
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2421
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2422
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2424
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2425
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2427
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2429
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2430
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2432
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2433
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2435
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2436
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2438
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2439
(John Arbash Meinel)
2441
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2442
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2443
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2445
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2446
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2448
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2449
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2450
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2451
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2453
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2454
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2455
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2457
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2458
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2462
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2466
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2467
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2468
(John Arbash Meinel)
2470
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2471
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2472
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2473
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2475
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2478
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2479
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2480
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2482
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2483
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2485
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2486
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2487
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2489
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2490
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2491
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2492
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2493
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2494
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2495
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2496
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2497
caller to repeat their request.
2498
(John Arbash Meinel)
2500
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2501
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2503
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2504
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2506
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2507
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2508
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2509
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2510
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2511
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2512
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2514
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2515
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2516
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2517
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2518
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2519
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2520
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2521
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2524
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2525
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2526
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2528
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2529
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2531
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2532
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2534
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2535
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2539
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2540
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2542
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2543
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2544
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2546
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2547
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2548
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2551
====================
2554
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2555
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2557
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2558
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2559
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2560
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2561
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2563
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2564
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2565
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2567
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2568
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2570
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2571
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2572
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2576
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2578
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2579
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2580
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2582
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2584
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2586
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2587
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2588
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2589
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2591
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2592
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2593
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2594
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2595
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2597
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2598
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2600
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2601
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2603
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2604
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2606
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2607
in handling of revision properties.
2608
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2610
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2611
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2615
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2616
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2617
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2618
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2619
(John Arbash Meinel)
2621
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2622
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2623
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2625
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2626
=====================
2630
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2631
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2632
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2633
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2634
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2635
a more conservative list than the old default.
2636
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2637
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2638
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2639
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2641
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2642
to more locations than just branch locations.
2647
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2648
revno:N:branch. For example,
2649
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2650
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2652
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2653
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2654
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2655
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2656
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2657
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2658
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2659
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2662
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2663
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2664
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2667
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2668
(Alexander Belchenko)
2670
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2672
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2675
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2676
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2677
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2678
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2679
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2680
(John Arbash Meinel)
2682
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2683
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2684
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2685
grained analysis of performance.
2686
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2688
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2689
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2691
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2692
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2693
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2694
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2695
file. (Robert Collins).
2697
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2698
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2699
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2701
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2702
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2705
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2706
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2708
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2709
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2710
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2711
the same way you would apply another branch.
2712
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2714
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2715
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2717
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2720
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2723
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2724
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2725
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2727
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2728
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2729
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2731
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2732
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2734
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2735
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2736
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2737
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2738
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2740
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2741
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2743
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2744
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2745
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2746
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2747
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2748
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2749
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2750
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2752
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2753
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2754
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2758
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2760
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2762
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2763
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2765
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2766
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2768
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2769
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2771
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2773
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2774
(John Arbash Meinel)
2776
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2777
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2779
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2780
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2783
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2784
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2786
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2787
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2789
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2790
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2791
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2792
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2794
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2795
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2797
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2799
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2800
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2802
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2804
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2806
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2807
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2809
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2810
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2812
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2813
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2814
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2816
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2817
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2818
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2820
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2821
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2823
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2824
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2826
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2827
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2829
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2830
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2832
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2833
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2835
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2836
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2837
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2839
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2841
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2842
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2846
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2847
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2848
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2850
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2851
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2853
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2854
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2855
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2857
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2858
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2860
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2861
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2864
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2865
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2866
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2868
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2869
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2870
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2872
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2873
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2874
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2876
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2877
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2878
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2880
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2881
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2882
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2884
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2885
instead. (Robert Collins)
2887
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2889
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2890
=====================
2894
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2896
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2897
=====================
2901
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2902
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2904
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2905
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2907
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2908
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2909
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2913
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2915
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2916
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2918
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2922
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2923
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2924
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2925
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2929
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2930
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2931
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2935
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2936
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2937
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2941
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2942
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2947
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2949
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2950
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2951
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2952
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2953
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2954
will keep the same format.
2956
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2957
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2958
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2959
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2960
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2962
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2963
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2964
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2965
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2966
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2967
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2968
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2970
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2971
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2972
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2973
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2974
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2976
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2977
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2978
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2984
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2985
convention. Paths now take the form::
2987
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2989
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2991
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2992
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2994
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2995
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2996
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2998
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2999
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3000
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3001
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3003
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3004
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3005
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3007
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3009
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3011
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3012
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3015
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3016
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3019
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3021
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3022
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3023
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3026
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3028
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3030
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3033
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3034
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3036
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3037
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3040
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3041
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3044
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3046
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3048
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3049
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3051
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3052
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3053
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3054
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3055
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3056
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3058
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3060
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3061
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3064
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3065
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3067
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3068
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3070
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3072
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3073
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3074
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3075
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3076
specification by Martin Pool.
3077
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3079
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3082
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3083
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3085
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3086
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3087
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3089
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3091
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3092
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3097
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3098
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3100
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3102
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3104
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3107
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3108
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3109
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3110
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3114
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3115
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3116
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3117
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3119
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3120
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3121
tried. (Martin Pool)
3123
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3126
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3128
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3129
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3130
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3132
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3133
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3135
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3136
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3137
paths. (Robert Collins)
3139
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3140
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3141
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3143
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3144
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3145
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3147
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3148
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3149
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3151
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3154
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3157
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3159
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3161
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3162
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3163
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3166
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3167
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3169
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3170
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3171
check. (Robert Collins)
3173
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3174
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3178
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3179
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3181
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3182
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3183
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3184
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3186
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3187
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3188
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3189
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3190
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3192
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3193
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3194
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3196
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3198
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3199
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3206
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3207
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3209
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3210
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3211
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3214
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3215
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3217
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3218
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3219
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3220
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3221
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3223
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3224
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3225
used. (Robert Collins)
3227
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3228
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3231
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3232
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3233
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3235
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3238
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3239
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3243
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3244
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3246
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3248
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3250
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3251
tree. (Robert Collins)
3253
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3254
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3255
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3258
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3261
* Tweaks to short log printing
3263
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3266
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3267
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3269
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3270
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3272
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3273
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3275
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3276
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3277
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3279
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3280
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3282
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3283
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3286
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3287
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3289
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3290
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3292
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3293
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3295
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3298
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3299
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3301
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3302
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3304
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3305
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3306
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3310
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3312
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3314
* Error when run with -OO
3316
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3319
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3321
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3323
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3324
ignored by diff and status
3326
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3327
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3329
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3331
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3333
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3334
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3336
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3337
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3339
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3342
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3343
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3345
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3347
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3348
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3350
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3353
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3354
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3356
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3360
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3361
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3363
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3365
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3367
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3369
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3370
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3371
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3373
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3375
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3376
(John Arbash Meinel)
3378
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3380
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3381
If adding a new test script please add that to
3382
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3384
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3385
imported. (Martin Pool)
3387
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3388
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3389
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3390
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3391
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3394
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3395
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3396
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3398
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3399
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3400
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3402
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3403
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3404
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3405
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3406
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3409
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3410
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3415
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3416
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3418
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3419
function. (Robert Collins)
3421
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3422
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3423
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3425
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3426
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3429
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3430
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3431
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3432
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3433
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3434
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3435
version. (Robert Collins)
3437
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3438
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3440
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3441
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3442
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3443
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3444
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3445
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3447
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3450
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3460
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3462
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3464
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3467
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3468
query method. (Robert Collins)
3470
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3473
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3476
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3479
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3480
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3481
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3482
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3484
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3485
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3486
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3487
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3489
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3490
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3497
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3500
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3504
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3505
a separator, not ':'.
3508
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3509
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3510
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3512
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3513
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3516
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3517
has been added that suppresses all output.
3519
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3522
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3523
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3525
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3526
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3528
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3529
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3531
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3532
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3533
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3534
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3536
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3538
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3539
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3541
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3542
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3544
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3545
output directory, if one was supplied.
3547
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3548
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3549
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3550
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3552
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3554
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3555
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3557
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3558
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3559
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3561
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3562
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3564
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3567
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3569
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3573
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3574
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3575
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3577
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3578
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3579
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3581
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3582
is given. (Martin Pool)
3584
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3585
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3586
file. (Robert Collins)
3588
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3593
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3594
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3595
representation. (Martin Pool).
3597
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3598
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3599
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3601
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3604
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3605
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3608
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3609
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3610
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3611
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3612
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3614
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3615
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3616
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3617
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3618
python path. (Robert Collins)
3620
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3621
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3622
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3623
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3625
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3626
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3628
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3629
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3632
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3633
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3634
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3636
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3637
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3638
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3640
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3641
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3643
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3644
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3645
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3648
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3649
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3650
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3651
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3654
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3657
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3658
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3661
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3662
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3663
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3665
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3666
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3667
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3669
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3670
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3671
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3673
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3674
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3676
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3677
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3678
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3679
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3680
caller. (Robert Collins)
3682
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3683
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3686
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3687
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3690
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3692
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3693
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3697
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3698
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3700
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3701
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3704
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3705
====================
3709
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3710
allow directories to be listed.
3712
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3713
upgrading branch format.
3717
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3725
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3726
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3727
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3728
high-latency connections.
3732
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3735
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3736
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3738
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3739
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3740
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3741
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3743
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3744
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3746
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3747
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3749
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3750
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3751
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3753
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3754
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3755
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3758
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3759
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3761
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3762
different partial views of history.
3764
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3765
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3769
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3770
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3771
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3773
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3774
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3777
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3778
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3780
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3783
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3784
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3786
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3787
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3788
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3789
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3791
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3793
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3794
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3797
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3798
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3800
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3801
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3802
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3807
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3808
for your viewing pleasure.
3810
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3811
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3813
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3814
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3815
handling of such circumstances.
3817
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3818
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3819
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3821
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3823
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3824
we call them revisions not patches.
3826
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3827
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3829
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3830
giving the revision *of that file*.
3832
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3833
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3834
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3838
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3839
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3841
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3842
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3845
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3846
====================
3850
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3852
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3855
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3857
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3859
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3860
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3864
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3865
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3867
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3868
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3869
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3870
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3873
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3874
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3878
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3880
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3881
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3884
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3885
====================
3889
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3890
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3891
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3892
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3895
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3898
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3899
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3900
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3901
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3902
for the operating system is still tried.
3904
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3905
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3906
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3911
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3915
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3917
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3920
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3926
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3928
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3931
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3932
====================
3936
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3937
help with intelligent shell completion.
3939
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3944
* Much better merge support.
3946
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3947
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3953
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3954
mention revisions that are not present.
3956
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3958
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3960
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3961
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3966
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3968
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3969
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3975
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3976
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3981
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3982
====================
3986
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3987
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3989
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3991
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3992
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3994
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3997
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3999
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4002
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4003
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4005
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4006
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4007
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4012
* Faster working tree operations.
4017
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4018
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4019
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4020
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4022
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4023
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4024
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4025
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4026
standard plugins directory.
4028
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4029
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4030
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4031
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4033
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4034
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4036
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4039
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4040
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4041
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4043
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4044
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4046
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4047
line options must come before the command name because they
4048
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4049
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4052
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4054
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4055
is available with ``--short``.
4060
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4063
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4064
=====================
4068
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4069
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4071
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4072
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4073
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4074
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4076
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4077
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4078
with the ``--forward`` option.
4080
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4081
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4087
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4088
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4090
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4092
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4093
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4095
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4097
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4098
either read or write mode.
4100
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4102
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4105
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4107
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4108
suggested by LarstiQ.
4110
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4111
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4113
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4116
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4117
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4119
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4120
haven't changed since the previous time.
4122
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4123
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4125
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4127
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4129
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4130
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4132
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4133
options through to an external GNU diff.
4135
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4138
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4144
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4145
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4147
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4153
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4154
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4157
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4158
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4160
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4161
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4163
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4164
under a different version.
4166
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4171
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4173
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4174
Scott James Remnant.
4176
* Better help messages for many commands.
4178
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4179
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4181
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4182
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4184
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4186
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4188
* New AtomicFile class.
4190
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4195
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4196
2.4 is now only recommended.
4199
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4200
=====================
4204
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4205
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4207
* More default ignore patterns.
4209
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4210
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4212
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4214
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4217
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4222
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4223
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4224
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4225
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4226
there are DNS problems.
4228
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4233
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4235
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4237
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4238
trailing newlines properly.
4243
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4246
* More tests in test.sh.
4248
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4249
directory and delete it when done.
4251
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4256
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4259
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4263
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4264
=====================
4268
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4271
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4273
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4276
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4279
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4281
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4285
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4286
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4291
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4292
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4297
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4301
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4309
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4312
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4313
===================================
4317
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4319
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4320
rather than replacing it.
4322
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4326
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4329
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4330
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4332
* Performance improvements.
4334
* New global --profile option.
4336
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4337
the root directory only.
4340
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4341
=====================
4345
* More information from info command.
4347
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4349
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4350
committing to stores.
4352
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4356
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4360
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4361
installation easier.
4363
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4367
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
