NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
37
38
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
39
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
40
(Aaron Bentley)
41
42
PERFORMANCE:
43
44
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
45
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
46
47
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
48
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
49
50
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
51
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
52
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
53
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
54
55
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
56
(Robert Collins)
57
58
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
59
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
60
61
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
62
the contents. (Robert Collins)
63
64
IMPROVEMENTS:
65
66
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
67
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
68
69
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
70
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
71
72
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
73
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
74
75
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
76
(Martin Pool, #63894)
77
78
BUG FIXES:
79
80
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
81
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
82
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
83
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
84
85
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
86
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
87
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
88
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
89
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
90
91
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
92
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
93
paramiko.
94
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
95
96
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
97
98
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
99
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
100
101
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
102
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
103
104
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
105
contains a symbolic link.
106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
107
108
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
109
(James Westby, #140615)
110
111
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
112
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
113
(Martin Pool, #144633)
114
115
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
117
118
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
119
will remain opened.
120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
121
122
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
123
directory to detect leaking tests.
124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
125
126
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
127
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
128
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
129
130
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
131
(Rob Weir, #141629)
132
133
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
134
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
135
136
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
137
Merwe)
138
139
API BREAKS:
140
141
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
142
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
143
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
144
145
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
146
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
147
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
148
149
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
150
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
151
152
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
153
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
154
155
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
156
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
157
(Martin Pool)
158
159
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
160
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
161
162
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
163
class that needs it.
164
(Martin Pool)
165
166
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
167
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
168
169
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
170
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
171
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
174
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
175
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
176
(Robert Collins)
177
178
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
179
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
180
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
181
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
182
(Robert Collins)
183
184
INTERNALS:
185
186
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
187
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
188
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
189
190
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
191
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
192
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
193
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
194
195
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
196
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
197
(Robert Collins)
198
199
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
200
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
201
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
202
203
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
204
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
205
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
206
207
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
208
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
209
210
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
211
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
212
to complete. (Robert Collins)
213
214
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
215
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
218
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
219
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
220
221
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
222
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
223
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
224
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
225
226
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
227
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
228
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
229
returned. (Robert Collins)
230
231
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
232
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
233
234
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
235
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
236
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
237
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
238
(Robert Collins)
239
240
TESTING:
241
242
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
243
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
244
245
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
246
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
247
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
248
makes this behavior available to other users.
249
(Martin Pool)

251
252
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
253
===================
254
255
BUG FIXES:
256
257
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
258
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
259
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
260
261
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
262
263
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
264
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
265
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
266
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
267
268
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
269
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
270
(Andrew Bennetts)
271
272
273
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
274
======================
275
276
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
277
in bzrlib/remote.py.
278
279
280
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
281
======================
282
283
CHANGES:
284
285
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
286
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
287
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
288
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
289
(Martin Pool)
290
291
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
292
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
293
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
294
(Ian Clatworthy)
295
296
FEATURES:
297
298
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
299
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
300
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
301
(Lukáš Lalinský)
302
303
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
304
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
305
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
306
307
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
308
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
309
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
310
311
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
312
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
313
314
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
315
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
316
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
317
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
318
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
319
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
320
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
321
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
322
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
323
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
324
325
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
326
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
327
328
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
329
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
330
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
331
332
BUG FIXES:
333
334
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
335
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
336
337
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
338
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
339
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
340
341
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
342
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
343
344
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
345
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
346
347
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
348
(Aaron Bentley)
349
350
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
351
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
352
353
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
354
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
355
356
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
357
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
358
359
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
360
(Blake Winton, #129299)
361
362
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
363
364
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
365
Watkins, #106726)
366
367
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
368
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
369
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
370
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
371
372
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
373
374
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
375
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
376
#133548)
377
378
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
379
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
380
381
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
382
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
383
#116143)
384
385
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
386
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
387
388
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
389
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
390
391
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
392
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
393
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
394
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
395
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
396
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
397
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
398
399
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
400
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
401
402
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
403
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
404
405
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
406
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
407
408
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
410
411
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
412
connections.
413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
414
415
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
416
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
417
418
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
419
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
420
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
421
422
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
423
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
424
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
425
426
IMPROVEMENTS:
427
428
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
429
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
430
431
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
432
(Aaron Bentley)
433
434
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
435
(Aaron Bentley)
436
437
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
438
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
439
440
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
441
442
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
443
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
444
445
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
446
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
447
448
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
449
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
450
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
451
space). (Robert Collins)
452
453
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
454
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
455
(Ian Clatworthy)
456
457
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
458
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
459
460
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
461
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
462
463
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
464
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
465
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
466
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
467
468
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
469
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
470
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
471
(Lukáš Lalinský)
472
473
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
474
(Ian Clatworthy)
475
476
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
477
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
478
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
479
480
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
481
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
482
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
483
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
484
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
485
486
API BREAKS:
487
488
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
489
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
490
491
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
492
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
493
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
494
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
495
affected. (Robert Collins)
496
497
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
498
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
499
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
500
(Robert Collins)
501
502
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
503
previous release. (Martin Pool)
504
505
TESTING:
506
507
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
508
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
509
510
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
511
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
512
513
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
514
previous release. (Martin Pool)
515
516
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
517
(Aaron Bentley)
518
519
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
520
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
521
522
INTERNALS:
523
524
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
525
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
526
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
527
its version information. (Robert Collins)
528
529
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
530
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
531
532
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
533
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
534
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
535
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
536
537
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
538
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
539
present. (Robert Collins)
540
541
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
542
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
543
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
544
API. (Robert Collins)
545
546
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
547
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
548
(Robert Collins)
549
550
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
551
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
552
553
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
554
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
555
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
556
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
557
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
558
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
559
560
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
561
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
562
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
563
564
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
565
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
566
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
567
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
568
protocol.
569
570
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
571
(Aaron Bentley)
572
573
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
574
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
575
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
576
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
577
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
578
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
579
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
580
581
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
582
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
583
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
584
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
585
586
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
587
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
588
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
589
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
590
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
591
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
592
593
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
594
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
595
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
596
597
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
598
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
599

601
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
602
===================
603
604
IMPROVEMENTS:
605
606
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
607
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
608
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
609
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
610
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
611
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
612
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
613
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
614
615
616
API CHANGES:
617
618
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
619
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
620
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
621
622
623
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
624
======================
625
626
BUGFIXES:
627
628
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
629
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
630
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
631
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
632
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
633
634
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
636
637
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
638
anymore.
639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
640
641
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
642
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
643
(Vincent Ladeuil)
644
645
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
646
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
647
#111664)
648
649
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
650
(Lukáš Lalinský)
651
652
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
653
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
654
655
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
656
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
657
658
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
659
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
660
661
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
662
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
663
664
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
665
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
666
667
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
668
(Aaron Bentley)
669
670
IMPROVEMENTS:
671
672
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
673
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
674
675
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
676
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
677
678
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
679
the repository (Robert Collins)
680
681
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
682
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
683
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
684
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
685
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
686
687
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
688
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
689
690
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
691
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
692
(John Arbash Meinel)
693
694
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
695
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
696
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
697
about 10%).
698
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
699
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
700
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
701
(John Arbash Meinel)
702
703
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
704
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
705
(Robert Collins)
706
707
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
708
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
709
710
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
711
(Ian Clatworthy)
712
713
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
714
715
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
716
717
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
718
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
719
720
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
721
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
722
Meinel)
723
724
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
725
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
726
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
727
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
728
729
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
730
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
731
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
732
733
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
734
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
735
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
736
737
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
738
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
739
740
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
741
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
742
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
743
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
744
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
745
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
746
(Ian Clatworthy)
747
748
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
749
(Alexander Belchenko)
750
751
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
752
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
753
754
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
755
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
756
757
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
758
759
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
760
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
761
762
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
763
764
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
765
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
766
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
767
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
768
769
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
770
771
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
772
(Robert Collins)
773
774
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
775
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
776
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
777
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
778
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
779
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
780
781
INTERNALS:
782
783
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
784
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
785
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
786
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
787
788
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
789
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
790
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
791
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
792
tests have been refactored too.
793
(Vincent Ladeuil)
794
795
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
796
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
797
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
798
list, it will.
799
(Vincent Ladeuil)
800
801
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
802
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
803
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
804
805
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
806
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
807
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
808
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
809
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
810
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
811
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
812
813
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
814
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
815
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
816
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
817
(John Arbash Meinel)
818
819
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
820
functionality for testing.
821
822
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
823
824
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
825
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
826
827
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
828
829
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
830
(Robert Collins)
831
832
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
833
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
834
835
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
836
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
837
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
838
839
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
840
(Aaron Bentley)
841
842
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
843
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
844
845
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
846
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
847
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
848
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
849
850
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
851
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
852
853
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
854
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
855
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
856
857
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
858
(Marius Kruger)
859
860
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
861
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
862
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
863
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
864
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
865
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
866
867
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
868
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
869
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
870
many files. (Robert Collins)
871
872
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
873
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
874
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
875
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
876
877
TESTING:
878
879
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
880
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
881
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
882
883
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
884
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
885
886
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
887
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
888
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
927
928
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
929
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
931
932
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
933
individually and as part of revision ranges.
934
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
935
936
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
937
(Martin Pool, #109169)
938
939
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
941
942
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
943
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
944
945
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
946
947
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
948
949
IMPROVEMENTS:
950
951
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
952
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
953
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
954
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
955
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
956
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
957
958
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
959
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
960
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
961
962
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
963
(Elliot Murphy)
964
965
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
966
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
967
968
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
969
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
970
971
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
972
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
973
974
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
975
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
976
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
977
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
978
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
979
980
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
981
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
982
983
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
984
can be slow it is useful feedback).
985
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
986
987
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
988
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
989
990
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
991
992
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
993
output. (Aaron Bentley)
994
995
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
996
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
997
(Robert Collins)
998
999
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1000
(Martin Pool)
1001
1002
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1003
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1004
1005
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1006
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1007
1008
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1009
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1010
1011
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1012
1013
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1014
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1015
1016
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1017
(Andrew Bennetts)
1018
1019
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1020
1021
* Testing cleanups -
1022
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1023
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1024
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1025
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1026
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1027
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1028
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1029
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1030
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1031
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1032
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1033
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1034
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1035
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1036
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1037
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1038
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1039
(Robert Collins)
1040
1041
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1042
1043
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1044
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1045
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1046
1047
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1048
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1049
1050
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1051
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1052
1053
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1054
1055
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1056
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1057
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1058
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1059
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1060
same location. (Robert Collins)
1061
1062
INTERNALS:
1063
1064
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1065
1066
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1067
1068
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1069
1070
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1071
(Martin Pool)
1072
1073
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1074
(Martin Pool)
1075
1076
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1077
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1078
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1079
1080
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1081
1082
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1083
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1084
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1085
1086
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1087
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1088
1089
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1090
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1091
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1092
1093
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1094
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1095
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1096
1097
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1098
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1099
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1100
1101
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1102
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1103
Martin Pool)
1104
1105
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1106
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1107
1108
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1109
(Alexander Belchenko)
1110
1111
TESTING:
1112
1113
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1114
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1115
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1116
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1117
1118
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1119
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1120
testing. (Robert Collins)
1121
1122
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1123
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1124
1125
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1126
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1127
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1128
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1129
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1130
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1131
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1132
1133
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1134
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1135
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1136
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1137
1138
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1139
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1140
1141
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1142
avoid useless cloning.

=======================
1160
1161
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1162
1163
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1164
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1165
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1166
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1167
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1168
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1169
and unlock() like so::
1170
1171
work_tree.lock_read()
1172
try:
1173
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1174
finally:
1175
work_tree.unlock()
1176
1177
INTERNALS:
1178
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1179
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1180
object.
1181
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1182
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1183
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1184
1185
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1186
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1187
too. (Robert Collins)
1188
1189
IMPROVEMENTS:
1190
1191
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1192
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1193
Aaron Bentley)
1194
1195
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1196
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1197
1198
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1199
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1200
1201
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1202
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1203
understanding what changes have occurred
1204
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1205
1206
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1207
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1208
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1209
1210
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1211
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1212
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1213
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1214
1215
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1216
#56322)
1217
1218
BUGFIXES:
1219
1220
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1221
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1222
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1223
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1224
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1225
1226
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1227
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1228
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1229
1230
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1232
1233
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1234
into account.
1235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1236
1237
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1238
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1239
1240
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1241
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1242
1243
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1244
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1245
1246
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1247
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1248
1249
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1250
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1251
1252
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1253
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1254
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
1257
====================
1258
1259
BUGFIXES:
1260
1261
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1262
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1263
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1264
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1265
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1266
1267
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1268
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1269
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1270
1271
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1272
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1273
1274
IMPROVEMENTS:
1275
1276
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1277
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1278
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1279
1280
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1281
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1282
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1283
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1286
=======================
1287
1288
BUGFIXES:
1289
1290
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1291
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1292
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1293
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1294
1295
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1296
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1297
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1298
1299
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1300
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1301
1302
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1303
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1304
1305
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1306
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1309
=======================
1310
1311
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1312
1313
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1314
it could be recovered again.
1315
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1316
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1317
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1318
but not delete it.
1319
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1320
files.
1321
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1322
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1323
1324
IMPROVEMENTS:
1325
1326
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1327
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1328
1329
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1330
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1331
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1332
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1333
1334
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1335
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1336
1337
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1338
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1339
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1340
1341
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1342
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1343
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1344
1345
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1346
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1347
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1350
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1351
Robert Collins)
1352
1353
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1354
Pool)
1355
1356
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1357
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1358
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1359
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1360
1361
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1362
(Robert Collins)
1363
1364
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1365
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1366
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1367
(Robert Collins)
1368
1369
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1370
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1371
1372
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1373
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1374
1375
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1376
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1377
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1378
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1379
(Robert Collins)
1380
1381
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1382
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1383
1384
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1385
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1386
1387
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1388
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1389
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1390
1391
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1392
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1393
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1394
1395
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1396
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1397
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1398
1399
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1400
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1401
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1402
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1403
1404
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1405
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1406
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1407
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1408
1409
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1410
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1411
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1412
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1413
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1414
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1415
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1416
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1417
header(s).
1418
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1419
1420
INTERNALS:
1421
1422
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1423
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1424
1425
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1426
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1427
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1428
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1429
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1430
1431
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1432
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1433
1434
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1435
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1436
1437
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1438
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1439
1440
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1441
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1442
1443
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1444
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1445
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1446
(Robert Collins).
1447
1448
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1449
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1450
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1451
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1452
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1453
(Robert Collins)
1454
1455
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1456
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1457
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1458
1459
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1460
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1461
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1462
1463
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1464
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1465
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1466
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1467
1468
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1469
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1470
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1471
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1472
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1473
1474
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1475
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1476
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1477
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1478
1479
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1480
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1481
1482
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1483
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1484
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1485
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1486
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1487
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1488
1489
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1490
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1491
1492
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1493
help. (Robert Collins)
1494
1495
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1496
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1497
1498
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1499
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1500
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1501
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1502
(John Arbash Meinel)
1503
1504
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1505
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1506
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1507
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1508
useful. (Robert Collins)
1509
1510
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1511
(Andrew Bennetts)
1512
1513
BUGFIXES:
1514
1515
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1516
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1517
1518
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1519
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1520
1521
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1522
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1523
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1524
1525
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1526
(Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1529
the file, and does it faster.
1530
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1531
1532
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1533
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1534
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1535
1536
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1537
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1538
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1539
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1540
1541
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1542
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1543
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1544
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1545
1546
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1547
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1548
1549
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1550
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1551
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1552
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1553
Arbash Meinel)
1554
1555
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1556
1557
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1558
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1559
1560
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1561
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1562
1563
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1564
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1565
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1566
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1567
security hole.
1568
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1569
1570
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1571
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1572
1573
TESTING:
1574
1575
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1576
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1577
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1578
1579
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1580
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1581
1582
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1583
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1584
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1585
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1586
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1587
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1588
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1589
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1590
1591
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1592
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1593
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1594
1595
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1596
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1597
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1598
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1599
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1600
access.
1601
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1602
1603
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1604
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1605
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1606
1607
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1608
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

=======================
1625
1626
CHANGES:
1627
1628
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1629
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1630
(Martin Pool)
1631
1632
IMPROVEMENTS:
1633
1634
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1635
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1636
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1637
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1638
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1639
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1640
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1641
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1642
path. (vila)
1643
1644
INTERNALS:
1645
1646
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1647
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1648
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1649
1650
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1651
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1652
(Martin Pool)
1653
1654
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1655
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1656
(John Arbash Meinel)
1657
1658
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1659
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1660
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1661
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1662
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1663
1664
BUGFIXES:
1665
1666
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1667
(vila, #92195)
1668
1669
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1670
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1671
1672
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1673
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1674
1675
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1676
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1677
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1678
1679
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1680
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1681
1682
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1683
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1684
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1685
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1686
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1687
1688
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1689
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1690
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1691
1692
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1696
=======================
1697
1698
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1699
1700
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1701
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1702
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1703
1704
IMPROVEMENTS:
1705
1706
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1707
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1708
1709
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1710
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1711
1712
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1713
1714
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1715
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1716
1717
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1718
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1719
1720
INTERNALS:
1721
1722
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1723
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1724
1725
BUGFIXES:
1726
1727
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1728
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1729
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1730
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1731
1732
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1733
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1734
1735
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1736
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1737
1738
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1739
(Marien Zwart)
1740
1741
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

1745
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1746
=======================
1747
1748
SURPRISES:
1749
1750
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1751
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1752
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1753
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1754
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1755
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1756
1757
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1758
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1759
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1760
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1761
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1762
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1763
development.
1764
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1765
1766
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1767
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1768
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1769
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1770
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1771
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1772
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1773
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1774
1775
IMPROVEMENTS:
1776
1777
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1778
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1779
1780
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1781
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1782
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1783
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1784
does exist.
1785
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1786
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1787
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1788
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1789
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1790
1791
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1792
(Aaron Bentley)
1793
1794
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1795
(Aaron Bentley)
1796
1797
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1798
(Robert Collins)
1799
1800
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1801
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1802
(Aaron Bentley)
1803
1804
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1805
(Aaron Bentley)
1806
1807
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1808
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1809
1810
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1811
directory. (Martin Pool)
1812
1813
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1814
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1815
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1816
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1817
1818
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1819
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1820
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1821
in docs/configuration.txt.
1822
1823
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1824
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1825
bind location.
1826
1827
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1828
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1829
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1830
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1831
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1832
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1833
1834
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1835
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1836
1837
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1838
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1839
1840
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1841
(Aaron Bentley)
1842
1843
INTERNALS:
1844
1845
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1846
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1847
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1848
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1849
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1850
(John Arbash Meinel)
1851
1852
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1853
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1854
(Aaron Bentley)
1855
1856
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1857
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1858
(John Arbash Meinel)
1859
1860
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1861
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1862
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1863
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1864
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1865
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1866
1867
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1868
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1869
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1870
1871
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1872
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1873
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1874
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1875
repository.
1876
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1877
1878
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1879
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1880
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1881
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1882
1883
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1884
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1885
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1886
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1887
1888
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1889
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1890
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1891
1892
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1893
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1894
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1895
1896
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1897
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1898
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1899
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1900
1901
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1902
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1903
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1904
1905
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1906
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1907
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1908
1909
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1910
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1911
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1912
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1913
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1914
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1915
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1916
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1917
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1920
1921
BUGFIXES:
1922
1923
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1924
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1925
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1926
1927
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1928
(Aaron Bentley)
1929
1930
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1931
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1932
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1933
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1934
1935
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1936
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1937
#83954).
1938
1939
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1940
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1941
1942
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1943
1944
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1945
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1946
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1947
1948
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1949
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1950
1951
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1952
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1953
1954
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1956
1957
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1958
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1959
1960
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1961

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1963
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1964

TESTING:
1966
1967

1974
IMPROVEMENTS:

1976
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1977
1978
BUG FIXES:
1979
1980
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1981
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1982
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1983
1984
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1985
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1986
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1989
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1990
=======================
1991
1992
IMPROVEMENTS:
1993
1994
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1995
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1996
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1997
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1998
1999
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2000
(Marius Kruger)
2001
2002
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2003
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2004
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2005
2006
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2007
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2008
2009
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2010
(Aaron Bentley)
2011
2012
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2013
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2014
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2015
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2016
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2017
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2018
2019
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2020
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2021
should enable you to do::
2022
2023
[/home/user/project]
2024
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2025
push_location:policy = appendpath
2026
2027
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2028
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2029
(James Henstridge)
2030
2031
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2032
for each file. For example::
2033
2034
$ bzr status --short
2035
A foo
2036
A bar
2037
D baz
2038
? wooley
2039
2040
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2041
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2042
2043
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2044
2045
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2046
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2047
2048
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2049
2050
INTERNALS:
2051
2052
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2053
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2054
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2055
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2056
2057
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2058
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2059
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2060
2061
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2062
2063
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2064
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2065
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2066
(Alexander Belchenko)
2067
2068
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2069
Pool)
2070
2071
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2072
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2073
2074
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2075
2076
BUG FIXES:
2077
2078
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2079
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2080
2081
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2082
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2083
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2084
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2085
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2086
2087
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2088
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2089
2090
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2091
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2092
2093
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2094
matcher.
2095
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2096
2097
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2098
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2099
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2100
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2101
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2102
2103
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2104
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2105
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2106
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2107
2108
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2109
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2110
2111
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2112
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2113
2114
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2115
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2130
2131
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2132
tree from a branch.
2133
(Daniel Silverstone)
2134
2135
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2136
operations are substantially faster.
2137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2138
2139
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2140
tree from some other url. For example:
2141
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2142
(Daniel Silverstone)
2143
2144
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2145
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2146
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2147
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2148
2149
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2150
(Andrew Bennetts)
2151
2152
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2153
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2154
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2155
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2156
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2157
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2158
2159
INTERNALS:
2160
2161
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2162
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2163
(Martin Pool)
2164
2165
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2166
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2167
(John Arbash Meinel)
2168
2169
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2170
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2171
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2172
(John Arbash Meinel)
2173
2174
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2175
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2176
2177
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2178
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2179
2180
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2181
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2182
Bennetts)
2183
2184
BUG FIXES:
2185
2186
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2187
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2188
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2189
2190
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2191
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2192
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2193
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2194
2195
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2196
2197
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2198
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2199
2200
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2201
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2202
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2204
2205
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2206
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2207
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2208
2209
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2210
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2211
them as full references rather than integers.
2212
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2213
2214
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2215
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2216
2217
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2218
2219
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2220
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2221
2222
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2223
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2224
2225
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2226
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2227
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2228
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2229
2230
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2231
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2232
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2233
2234
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2235
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2236
2237
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2238
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2239
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2240
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2241
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2242
2243
TESTING:
2244
2245
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2246
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

IMPROVEMENTS:
2261
2262
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2263
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2264
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2265
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2268
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2269
2270
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2271
2272
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2273
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2274
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2275
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2276
2277
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2278
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2279
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2280
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2286
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2287
2288
INTERNALS:
2289
2290
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2291
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2292
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2293
2294
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2295
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2296
(John Arbash Meinel)
2297
2298
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2299
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2300
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2301
2302
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2303
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2304
(Aaron Bentley)
2305
2306
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2307
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2308
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2309
2310
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2311
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2312
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2313
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2314
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2315
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2316
2317
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2318
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2319
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2320
(Robert Collins)
2321
2322
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2323
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2324
2325
BUG FIXES:
2326
2327
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2328
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2329
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2330
#63360, #66349)
2331
2332
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2333
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2334
2335
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2336
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2337
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2338
2339
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2340
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2341
2342
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2343
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2344
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2345
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2346
2347
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2348
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2349
2350
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2351
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2352
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2353
2354
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2355
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2356
2357
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2358
2359
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2360
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2361
#32054)
2362
2363
TESTING:
2364
2365
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2366
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2367
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2368
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2369
2370
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2371
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2372
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2373
2374
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
2375
====================
2376
2377
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2378
2379
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2380
=======================
2381
2382
BUG FIXES:
2383
2384
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2385
2386
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2387
Arbash Meinel).
2388
2389
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2390
=======================
2391
2392
IMPROVEMENTS:
2393
2394
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2395
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2396
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2397
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2398
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2399
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2400
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2401
2402
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2403
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2404
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2405
2406
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2409
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2410
2411
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2412
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2413
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2414
(Robert Collins)
2415
2416
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2417
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2418
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2419
(John Arbash Meinel)
2420
2421
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2422
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2423
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2424
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2425
Pool)
2426
2427
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2428
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2429
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2430
(John Arbash Meinel)
2431
2432
BUG FIXES:
2433
2434
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2435
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2436
2437
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2438
2439
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2440
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2441
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2442
2443
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2444
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2445
2446
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2447
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2448
2449
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2450
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2451
2452
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2453
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2454
2455
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2456
2457
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2458
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2459
2460
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2461
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2462
2463
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2464
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2465
2466
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2467
(John Arbash Meinel)
2468
2469
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2470
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2471
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2472
2473
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2474
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2475
2476
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2477
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2478
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2479
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2480
2481
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2482
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2483
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2484
2485
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2486
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2487
2488
PORTABILITY:
2489
2490
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2491
2492
INTERNALS:
2493
2494
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2495
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2496
(John Arbash Meinel)
2497
2498
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2499
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2500
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2501
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2502
2503
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2504
(Andrew Bennetts)
2505
2506
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2507
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2508
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2509
2510
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2511
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2512
2513
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2514
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2515
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2516
2517
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2518
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2519
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2520
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2521
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2522
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2523
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2524
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2525
caller to repeat their request.
2526
(John Arbash Meinel)
2527
2528
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2529
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2532
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2533
2534
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2535
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2536
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2537
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2538
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2539
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2540
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2541
2542
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2543
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2544
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2545
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2546
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2547
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2548
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2549
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2550
(Robert Collins)
2551
2552
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2553
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2554
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2555
2556
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2557
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2558
2559
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2560
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2561
2562
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2563
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2564
2565
TESTING:
2566
2567
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2568
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2569
2570
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2571
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2572
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2573
2574
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2575
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2576
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2577
2578
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2579
====================
2580
2581
IMPROVEMENTS:
2582
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2583
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2584
2585
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2586
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2587
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2588
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2589
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2590
2591
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2592
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2593
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2594
2595
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2596
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2597
2598
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2599
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2600
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2601
2602
BUG FIXES:
2603
2604
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2605
2606
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2607
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2608
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2609
2610
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2611
2612
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2613
2614
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2615
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2616
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2617
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2618
2619
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2620
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2621
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2622
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2623
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2624
2625
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2626
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2627
2628
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2629
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2630
2631
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2632
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2633
2634
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2635
in handling of revision properties.
2636
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2637
2638
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2639
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2640
2641
INTERNALS:
2642
2643
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2644
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2645
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2646
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2647
(John Arbash Meinel)
2648
2649
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2650
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2651
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2652
2653
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2654
=====================
2655
2656
SURPRISES:
2657
2658
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2659
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2660
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2661
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2662
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2663
a more conservative list than the old default.
2664
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2665
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2666
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2667
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2668
2669
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2670
to more locations than just branch locations.
2671
(Aaron Bentley)
2672
2673
IMPROVEMENTS:
2674
2675
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2676
revno:N:branch. For example,
2677
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2678
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2679
2680
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2681
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2682
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2683
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2684
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2685
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2686
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2687
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2688
#42517, #42514)
2689
2690
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2691
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2692
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2693
(Malone #3507)
2694
2695
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2696
(Alexander Belchenko)
2697
2698
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2699
2700
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2701
(Robert Collins).
2702
2703
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2704
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2705
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2706
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2707
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2708
(John Arbash Meinel)
2709
2710
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2711
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2712
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2713
grained analysis of performance.
2714
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2715
2716
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2717
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2718
2719
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2720
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2721
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2722
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2723
file. (Robert Collins).
2724
2725
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2726
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2727
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2728
2729
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2730
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2731
Matthieu Moy)
2732
2733
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2734
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2735
2736
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2737
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2738
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2739
the same way you would apply another branch.
2740
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2741
2742
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2743
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2744
2745
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2746
(Michael Ellerman)
2747
2748
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2749
(Aaron Bentley)
2750
2751
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2752
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2753
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2754
2755
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2756
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2757
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2758
2759
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2760
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2761
2762
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2763
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2764
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2765
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2766
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2767
2768
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2769
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2770
2771
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2772
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2773
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2774
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2775
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2776
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2777
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2778
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2779
2780
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2781
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2782
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2783
2784
BUG FIXES:
2785
2786
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2787
tests not to run.
2788
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2789
2790
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2791
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2792
2793
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2794
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2795
2796
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2797
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2798
2799
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2800
2801
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2802
(John Arbash Meinel)
2803
2804
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2805
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2806
2807
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2808
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2809
and y.
2810
2811
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2812
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2813
2814
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2815
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2816
2817
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2818
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2819
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2820
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2821
2822
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2823
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2824
2825
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2826
2827
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2828
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2829
2830
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2831
2832
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2833
2834
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2835
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2836
2837
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2838
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2839
2840
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2841
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2842
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2843
2844
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2845
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2846
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2847
2848
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2849
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2850
2851
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2852
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2853
2854
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2855
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2856
2857
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2858
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2859
2860
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2861
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2862
2863
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2864
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2865
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2866
2867
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2868
2869
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2870
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2871
2872
INTERNALS:
2873
2874
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2875
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2876
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2877
2878
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2879
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2880
2881
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2882
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2883
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2884
2885
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2886
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2887
2888
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2889
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2890
(Martin Pool)
2891
2892
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2893
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2894
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2895
2896
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2897
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2898
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2899
2900
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2901
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2902
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2903
2904
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2905
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2906
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2907
2908
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2909
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2910
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2911
2912
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2913
instead. (Robert Collins)
2914
2915
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2930
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2931
2932
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2933
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2934
2935
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2936
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2949
2950
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2951

2953
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2954
2955
NEW FEATURES:
2956
2957
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2958
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
2962
2963

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2966
2967

2972
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2973
===================
2974
2975
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2976
2977
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2978
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2979
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2980
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2981
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2982
will keep the same format.
2983
2984
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2985
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2986
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2987
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2988
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2989
2990
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2991
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2992
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2993
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2994
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2995
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2996
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2997
2998
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2999
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3000
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3001
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3002
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3003
3004
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3005
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3006
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3007
arrangement.
3008
3009
3010
IMPROVEMENTS:
3011
3012
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3013
convention. Paths now take the form::
3014
3015
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3016
or
3017
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3018
3019
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3020
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3021
3022
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3023
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3024
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3025
3026
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3027
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3028
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3029
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3030
3031
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3032
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3033
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3034
3035
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3036
3037
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3038
3039
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3040
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3041
commits::
3042
3043
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3044
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3045
| xargs bzr re-sign
3046
3047
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3048
3049
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3050
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3051
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3052
(Robert Collins)
3053
3054
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3055
3056
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3057
3058
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3059
'.moved'.
3060
3061
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3062
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3063
3064
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3065
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3066
Daniel Silverstone)
3067
3068
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3069
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3070
Martin Pool)
3071
3072
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3073
3074
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3075
3076
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3077
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3078
3079
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3080
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3081
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3082
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3083
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3084
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3085
3086
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3087
3088
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3089
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3090
(Robert Collins)
3091
3092
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3093
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3094
3095
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3096
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3097
3098
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3099
3100
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3101
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3102
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3103
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3104
specification by Martin Pool.
3105
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3106
3107
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3108
Belchenko)
3109
3110
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3111
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3112
3113
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3114
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3115
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3116
3117
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3118
3119
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3120
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3121
(Robert Collins)
3122
3123
CHANGES:
3124
3125
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3126
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3127
3128
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3129
3130
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3131
3132
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3133
(Olaf Conradi)
3134
3135
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3136
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3137
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3138
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3139
3140
INTERNALS:
3141
3142
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3143
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3144
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3145
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3146
3147
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3148
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3149
tried. (Martin Pool)
3150
3151
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3152
(Martin Pool)
3153
3154
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3155
3156
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3157
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3158
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3159
3160
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3161
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3162
3163
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3164
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3165
paths. (Robert Collins)
3166
3167
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3168
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3169
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3170
3171
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3172
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3173
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3174
3175
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3176
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3177
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3178
3179
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3180
(Olaf Conradi)
3181
3182
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3183
(Olaf Conradi)
3184
3185
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3186
3187
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3188
3189
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3190
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3191
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3192
(Robert Collins)
3193
3194
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3195
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3196
3197
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3198
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3199
check. (Robert Collins)
3200
3201
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3202
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3203
3204
TESTING:
3205
3206
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3207
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3208
3209
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3210
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3211
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3212
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3213
3214
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3215
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3216
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3217
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3218
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3219
3220
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3221
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3222
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3223
3224
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3225
3226
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3227
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3228

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3230
==================
3231
3232
CHANGES:
3233
3234
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3235
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3236
3237
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3238
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3239
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3240
(Johan Rydberg)
3241
3242
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3243
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3244
3245
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3246
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3247
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3248
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3249
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3250
3251
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3252
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3253
used. (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3256
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3257
(James Henstridge)
3258
3259
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3260
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3261
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3262
3263
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3264
ignore list.
3265
3266
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3267
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3268
3269
IMPROVEMENTS:
3270
3271
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3272
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3273
3274
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3275
3276
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3277
3278
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3279
tree. (Robert Collins)
3280
3281
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3282
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3283
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3284
(Robert Collins)
3285
3286
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3287
that they be kept.
3288
3289
* Tweaks to short log printing
3290
3291
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3292
(Aaron Bentley)
3293
3294
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3295
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3296
3297
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3298
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3299
3300
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3301
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3302
3303
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3304
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3305
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3306
3307
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3308
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3309
3310
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3311
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3312
requests.
3313
3314
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3315
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3316
3317
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3318
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3319
3320
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3321
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3322
3323
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3324
(Denys Duchier)
3325
3326
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3327
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3328
3329
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3330
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3331
3332
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3333
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3334
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3335
3336
BUG FIXES:
3337
3338
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3339
3340
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3341
3342
* Error when run with -OO
3343
3344
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3345
(Martin Pool)
3346
3347
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3348
3349
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3350
3351
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3352
ignored by diff and status
3353
3354
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3355
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3356
3357
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3358
3359
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3360
3361
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3362
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3363
3364
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3365
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3366
3367
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3368
(Harald Meland)
3369
3370
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3371
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3372
3373
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3374
3375
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3376
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3377
3378
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3379
(Martin Pool)
3380
3381
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3382
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3383
3384
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3385
3386
TESTING:
3387
3388
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3389
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3390
3391
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3392
3393
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3394
3395
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3396
3397
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3398
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3399
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3400
3401
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3402
3403
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3404
(John Arbash Meinel)
3405
3406
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3407
3408
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3409
If adding a new test script please add that to
3410
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3411
3412
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3413
imported. (Martin Pool)
3414
3415
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3416
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3417
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3418
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3419
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3420
(Robert Collins)
3421
3422
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3423
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3424
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3425
3426
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3427
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3428
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3429
3430
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3431
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3432
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3433
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3434
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3435
(Robert Collins).
3436
3437
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3438
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3439
(Robert Collins).
3440
3441
INTERNALS:
3442
3443
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3444
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3445
3446
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3447
function. (Robert Collins)
3448
3449
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3450
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3451
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3452
3453
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3454
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3455
(Robert Collins)
3456
3457
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3458
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3459
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3460
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3461
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3462
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3463
version. (Robert Collins)
3464
3465
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3466
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3467
3468
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3469
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3470
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3471
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3472
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3473
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3474
3475
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3476
(Robert Collins)
3477
3478
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3479
3480
add()
3481
commit()
3482
move()
3483
rename_one()
3484
unknowns()
3485
3486
(Robert Collins)
3487
3488
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3489
3490
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3491
3492
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3493
Pool)
3494
3495
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3496
query method. (Robert Collins)
3497
3498
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3499
(Denys Duchier)
3500
3501
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3502
(Michael Ellerman)
3503
3504
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3505
(Michael Ellerman)
3506
3507
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3508
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3509
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3510
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3511
3512
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3513
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3514
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3515
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3516
3517
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3518
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3519
3520
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3521
==================
3522
3523
IMPROVEMENTS:
3524
3525
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3526
(John A Meinel)
3527
3528
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3529
conflicts.
3530
(Aaron Bentley)
3531
3532
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3533
a separator, not ':'.
3534
(Aaron Bentley)
3535
3536
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3537
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3538
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3539
3540
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3541
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3542
(Robert Collins)
3543
3544
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3545
has been added that suppresses all output.
3546
3547
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3548
Adams.
3549
3550
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3551
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3552
3553
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3554
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3555
3556
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3557
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3558
3559
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3560
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3561
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3562
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3563
3564
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3565
3566
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3567
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3568
3569
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3570
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3571
3572
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3573
output directory, if one was supplied.
3574
3575
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3576
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3577
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3578
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3579
3580
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3581
3582
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3583
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3584
3585
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3586
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3587
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3588
3589
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3590
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3591
3592
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3593
(Aaron Bentley)
3594
3595
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3596
3597
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3598
3599
TESTING:
3600
3601
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3602
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3603
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3604
3605
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3606
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3607
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3608
3609
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3610
is given. (Martin Pool)
3611
3612
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3613
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3614
file. (Robert Collins)
3615
3616
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3617
(Martin Pool)
3618
3619
INTERNALS:
3620
3621
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3622
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3623
representation. (Martin Pool).
3624
3625
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3626
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3627
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3628
3629
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3630
(Robert Collins)
3631
3632
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3633
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3634
Magnus Therning.
3635
3636
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3637
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3638
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3639
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3640
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3641
3642
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3643
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3644
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3645
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3646
python path. (Robert Collins)
3647
3648
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3649
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3650
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3651
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3652
3653
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3654
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3655
3656
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3657
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3658
(Robert Collins)
3659
3660
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3661
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3662
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3663
3664
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3665
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3666
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3667
3668
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3669
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3670
3671
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3672
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3673
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3674
(Robert Collins)
3675
3676
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3677
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3678
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3679
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3680
(Robert Collins)
3681
3682
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3683
(Robert Collins)
3684
3685
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3686
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3687
(Robert Collins)
3688
3689
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3690
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3691
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3692
3693
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3694
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3695
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3696
3697
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3698
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3699
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3700
3701
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3702
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3703
3704
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3705
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3706
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3707
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3708
caller. (Robert Collins)
3709
3710
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3711
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3712
(Robert Collins).
3713
3714
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3715
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3716
(Aaron Bentley)
3717
3718
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3719
3720
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3721
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3722
3723
BUG FIXES:
3724
3725
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3726
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3727
3728
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3729
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3732
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3733
====================
3734
3735
BUG FIXES:
3736
3737
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3738
allow directories to be listed.
3739
3740
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3741
upgrading branch format.
3742
3743
PERFORMANCE:
3744
3745
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3746
3747
3748
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3749
==================
3750
3751
NOTES:
3752
3753
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3754
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3755
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3756
high-latency connections.
3757
3758
BUG FIXES:
3759
3760
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3761
Rob Weir.
3762
3763
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3764
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3765
3766
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3767
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3768
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3769
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3770
3771
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3772
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3773
3774
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3775
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3776
3777
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3778
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3779
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3780
3781
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3782
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3783
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3784
Robert Collins
3785
3786
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3787
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3788
3789
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3790
different partial views of history.
3791
3792
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3793
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3794
3795
IMPROVEMENTS:
3796
3797
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3798
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3799
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3800
3801
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3802
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3803
'bzr upgrade'.
3804
3805
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3806
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3807
3808
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3809
Niemeyer.
3810
3811
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3812
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3813
3814
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3815
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3816
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3817
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3818
3819
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3820
3821
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3822
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3823
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3824
3825
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3826
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3827
3828
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3829
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3830
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3831
3832
3833
INTERNALS:
3834
3835
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3836
for your viewing pleasure.
3837
3838
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3839
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3840
3841
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3842
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3843
handling of such circumstances.
3844
3845
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3846
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3847
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3848
3849
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3850
3851
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3852
we call them revisions not patches.
3853
3854
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3855
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3856
3857
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3858
giving the revision *of that file*.
3859
3860
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3861
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3862
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3863
3864
TESTING:
3865
3866
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3867
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3868
3869
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3870
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3871
3872
3873
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3874
====================
3875
3876
BUG FIXES:
3877
3878
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3879
3880
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3881
(Robert Collins).
3882
3883
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3884
3885
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3886
3887
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3888
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3889
3890
IMPROVEMENTS:
3891
3892
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3893
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3894
3895
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3896
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3897
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3898
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3899
Robey Pointer
3900
3901
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3902
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3903
3904
INTERNALS:
3905
3906
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3907
3908
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3909
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3910
3911
3912
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3913
====================
3914
3915
IMPROVEMENTS:
3916
3917
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3918
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3919
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3920
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3921
Michael Ellerman.
3922
3923
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3924
(Nir Soffer)
3925
3926
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3927
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3928
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3929
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3930
for the operating system is still tried.
3931
3932
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3933
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3934
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3935
3936
3937
INTERNALS:
3938
3939
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3940
3941
BUG FIXES:
3942
3943
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3944
3945
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3946
branch.
3947
3948
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3949
read.
3950
3951
3952
PORTABILITY:
3953
3954
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3955
3956
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3957
3958
3959
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3960
====================
3961
3962
NEW FEATURES:
3963
3964
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3965
help with intelligent shell completion.
3966
3967
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3968
3969
3970
ENHANCEMENTS:
3971
3972
* Much better merge support.
3973
3974
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3975
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3976
like emacs smerge.
3977
3978
3979
BUG FIXES:
3980
3981
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3982
mention revisions that are not present.
3983
3984
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3985
3986
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3987
3988
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3989
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3990
3991
3992
CHANGES:
3993
3994
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3995
3996
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3997
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3998
--help themselves.
3999
4000
4001
LIBRARY:
4002
4003
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4004
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4005
libraries.
4006
4007
4008
4009
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4010
====================
4011
4012
NEW FEATURES:
4013
4014
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4015
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4016
4017
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4018
4019
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4020
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4021
4022
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4023
FOO.
4024
4025
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4026
4027
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4028
the Unix command.
4029
4030
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4031
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4032
4033
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4034
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4035
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4036
4037
4038
ENHANCEMENTS:
4039
4040
* Faster working tree operations.
4041
4042
4043
CHANGES:
4044
4045
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4046
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4047
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4048
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4049
4050
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4051
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4052
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4053
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4054
standard plugins directory.
4055
4056
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4057
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4058
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4059
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4060
4061
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4062
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4063
4064
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4065
disk.
4066
4067
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4068
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4069
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4070
4071
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4072
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4073
4074
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4075
line options must come before the command name because they
4076
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4077
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4078
it.
4079
4080
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4081
4082
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4083
is available with ``--short``.
4084
4085
4086
BUG FIXES:
4087
4088
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4089
4090
4091
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4092
=====================
4093
4094
CHANGES:
4095
4096
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4097
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4098
4099
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4100
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4101
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4102
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4103
4104
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4105
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4106
with the ``--forward`` option.
4107
4108
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4109
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4110
field.
4111
4112
4113
ENHANCEMENTS:
4114
4115
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4116
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4117
4118
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4119
4120
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4121
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4122
4123
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4124
4125
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4126
either read or write mode.
4127
4128
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4129
4130
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4131
affected that file.
4132
4133
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4134
4135
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4136
suggested by LarstiQ.
4137
4138
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4139
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4140
4141
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4142
a filename.
4143
4144
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4145
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4146
4147
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4148
haven't changed since the previous time.
4149
4150
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4151
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4152
4153
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4154
4155
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4156
4157
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4158
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4159
4160
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4161
options through to an external GNU diff.
4162
4163
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4164
their contents.
4165
4166
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4167
from a branch.
4168
4169
4170
BUG FIXES:
4171
4172
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4173
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4174
4175
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4176
metacharacters.
4177
4178
4179
TESTING:
4180
4181
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4182
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4183
the tests.
4184
4185
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4186
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4187
4188
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4189
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4190
4191
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4192
under a different version.
4193
4194
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4195
4196
4197
INTERNAL:
4198
4199
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4200
4201
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4202
Scott James Remnant.
4203
4204
* Better help messages for many commands.
4205
4206
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4207
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4208
4209
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4210
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4211
4212
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4213
4214
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4215
4216
* New AtomicFile class.
4217
4218
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4219
4220
4221
PORTABILITY:
4222
4223

4224
2.4 is now only recommended.

4228
=====================
4229
4230
ENHANCEMENTS:
4231
4232
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4233
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4234
4235
* More default ignore patterns.
4236
4237
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4238
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4239
4240
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4241
4242
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4243
by Jason Diamon.
4244
4245
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4246
4247
4248
CHANGES:
4249
4250
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4251
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4252
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4253
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4254
there are DNS problems.
4255
4256
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4257
4258
4259
BUG FIXES:
4260
4261
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4262
4263
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4264
4265
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4266
trailing newlines properly.
4267
4268
4269
INTERNAL:
4270
4271
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4272
Matt Brubeck.
4273
4274
* More tests in test.sh.
4275
4276
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4277
directory and delete it when done.
4278
4279
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4280
4281
4282
PORTABILITY:
4283
4284
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4285
Bennetts.
4286
4287
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4288
from QuantumG.

4311
CHANGES:
4312
4313
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4314
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4315
will do for now.)
4316
4317
PORTABILITY:
4318
4319
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4320
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4321
Nielsen.

4352
* More help topics.
4353
4354
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4355
branch.
4356
4357
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4358
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4359
4360
* Performance improvements.
4361
4362
* New global --profile option.
4363
4364
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in

4389
installation easier.
4390
4391

4392
supported).
