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 on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
208
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
209
to complete. (Robert Collins)
210
211
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
212
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
213
214
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
215
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
216
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
217
218
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
219
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
220
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
221
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
222
223
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
224
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
225
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
226
returned. (Robert Collins)
227
228
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
229
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
230
231
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
232
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
233
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
234
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
235
(Robert Collins)
236
237
TESTING:
238
239
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
240
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
241
242
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
243
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
244
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
245
makes this behavior available to other users.
246
(Martin Pool)

249
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
250
===================
251
252
BUG FIXES:
253
254
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
255
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
256
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
257
258
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
259
260
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
261
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
262
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
263
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
264
265
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
266
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
267
(Andrew Bennetts)
268
269
270
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
271
======================
272
273
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
274
in bzrlib/remote.py.
275
276
277
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
278
======================
279
280
CHANGES:
281
282
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
283
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
284
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
285
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
286
(Martin Pool)
287
288
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
289
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
290
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
291
(Ian Clatworthy)
292
293
FEATURES:
294
295
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
296
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
297
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
298
(Lukáš Lalinský)
299
300
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
301
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
302
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
303
304
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
305
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
306
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
307
308
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
309
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
310
311
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
312
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
313
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
314
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
315
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
316
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
317
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
318
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
319
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
320
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
321
322
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
323
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
324
325
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
326
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
327
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
328
329
BUG FIXES:
330
331
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
332
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
333
334
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
335
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
336
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
337
338
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
339
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
340
341
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
342
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
343
344
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
345
(Aaron Bentley)
346
347
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
348
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
349
350
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
351
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
352
353
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
354
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
355
356
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
357
(Blake Winton, #129299)
358
359
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
360
361
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
362
Watkins, #106726)
363
364
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
365
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
366
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
367
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
368
369
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
370
371
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
372
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
373
#133548)
374
375
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
376
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
377
378
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
379
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
380
#116143)
381
382
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
383
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
384
385
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
386
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
387
388
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
389
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
390
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
391
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
392
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
393
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
394
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
395
396
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
397
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
398
399
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
400
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
401
402
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
403
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
404
405
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
407
408
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
409
connections.
410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
411
412
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
413
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
414
415
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
416
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
417
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
418
419
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
420
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
421
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
422
423
IMPROVEMENTS:
424
425
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
426
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
427
428
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
429
(Aaron Bentley)
430
431
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
432
(Aaron Bentley)
433
434
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
435
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
436
437
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
438
439
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
440
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
441
442
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
443
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
444
445
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
446
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
447
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
448
space). (Robert Collins)
449
450
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
451
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
452
(Ian Clatworthy)
453
454
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
455
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
456
457
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
458
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
459
460
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
461
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
462
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
463
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
464
465
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
466
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
467
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
468
(Lukáš Lalinský)
469
470
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
471
(Ian Clatworthy)
472
473
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
474
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
475
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
476
477
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
478
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
479
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
480
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
481
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
482
483
API BREAKS:
484
485
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
486
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
487
488
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
489
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
490
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
491
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
492
affected. (Robert Collins)
493
494
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
495
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
496
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
497
(Robert Collins)
498
499
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
500
previous release. (Martin Pool)
501
502
TESTING:
503
504
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
505
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
506
507
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
508
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
509
510
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
511
previous release. (Martin Pool)
512
513
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
514
(Aaron Bentley)
515
516
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
517
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
518
519
INTERNALS:
520
521
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
522
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
523
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
524
its version information. (Robert Collins)
525
526
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
527
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
528
529
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
530
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
531
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
532
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
533
534
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
535
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
536
present. (Robert Collins)
537
538
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
539
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
540
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
541
API. (Robert Collins)
542
543
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
544
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
545
(Robert Collins)
546
547
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
548
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
549
550
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
551
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
552
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
553
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
554
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
555
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
556
557
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
558
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
559
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
560
561
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
562
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
563
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
564
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
565
protocol.
566
567
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
568
(Aaron Bentley)
569
570
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
571
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
572
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
573
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
574
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
575
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
576
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
577
578
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
579
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
580
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
581
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
582
583
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
584
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
585
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
586
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
587
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
588
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
589
590
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
591
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
592
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
593
594
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
595
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
596
597
598
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
599
===================
600
601
IMPROVEMENTS:
602
603
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
604
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
605
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
606
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
607
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
608
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
609
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
610
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
611
612
613
API CHANGES:
614
615
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
616
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
617
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
618
619
620
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
621
======================
622
623
BUGFIXES:
624
625
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
626
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
627
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
628
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
629
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
630
631
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
633
634
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
635
anymore.
636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
637
638
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
639
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
640
(Vincent Ladeuil)
641
642
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
643
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
644
#111664)
645
646
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
647
(Lukáš Lalinský)
648
649
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
650
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
651
652
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
653
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
654
655
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
656
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
657
658
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
659
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
660
661
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
662
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
663
664
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
665
(Aaron Bentley)
666
667
IMPROVEMENTS:
668
669
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
670
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
671
672
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
673
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
674
675
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
676
the repository (Robert Collins)
677
678
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
679
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
680
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
681
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
682
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
683
684
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
685
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
686
687
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
688
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
689
(John Arbash Meinel)
690
691
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
692
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
693
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
694
about 10%).
695
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
696
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
697
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
698
(John Arbash Meinel)
699
700
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
701
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
702
(Robert Collins)
703
704
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
705
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
706
707
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
708
(Ian Clatworthy)
709
710
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
711
712
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
713
714
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
715
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
716
717
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
718
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
719
Meinel)
720
721
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
722
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
723
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
724
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
725
726
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
727
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
728
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
729
730
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
731
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
732
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
733
734
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
735
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
736
737
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
738
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
739
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
740
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
741
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
742
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
743
(Ian Clatworthy)
744
745
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
746
(Alexander Belchenko)
747
748
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
749
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
750
751
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
752
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
753
754
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
755
756
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
757
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
758
759
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
760
761
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
762
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
763
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
764
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
765
766
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
767
768
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
769
(Robert Collins)
770
771
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
772
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
773
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
774
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
775
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
776
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
777
778
INTERNALS:
779
780
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
781
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
782
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
783
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
784
785
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
786
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
787
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
788
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
789
tests have been refactored too.
790
(Vincent Ladeuil)
791
792
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
793
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
794
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
795
list, it will.
796
(Vincent Ladeuil)
797
798
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
799
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
800
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
801
802
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
803
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
804
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
805
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
806
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
807
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
808
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
809
810
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
811
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
812
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
813
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
814
(John Arbash Meinel)
815
816
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
817
functionality for testing.
818
819
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
820
821
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
822
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
823
824
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
825
826
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
827
(Robert Collins)
828
829
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
830
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
831
832
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
833
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
834
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
835
836
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
837
(Aaron Bentley)
838
839
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
840
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
841
842
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
843
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
844
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
845
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
846
847
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
848
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
849
850
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
851
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
852
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
853
854
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
855
(Marius Kruger)
856
857
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
858
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
859
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
860
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
861
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
862
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
863
864
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
865
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
866
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
867
many files. (Robert Collins)
868
869
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
870
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
871
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
872
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
873
874
TESTING:
875
876
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
877
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
878
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
879
880
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
881
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
882
883
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
884
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
885
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

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

=======================
1157
1158
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1159
1160
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1161
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1162
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1163
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1164
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1165
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1166
and unlock() like so::
1167
1168
work_tree.lock_read()
1169
try:
1170
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1171
finally:
1172
work_tree.unlock()
1173
1174
INTERNALS:
1175
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1176
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1177
object.
1178
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1179
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1180
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1181
1182
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1183
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1184
too. (Robert Collins)
1185
1186
IMPROVEMENTS:
1187
1188
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1189
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1190
Aaron Bentley)
1191
1192
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1193
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1194
1195
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1196
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1197
1198
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1199
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1200
understanding what changes have occurred
1201
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1202
1203
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1204
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1205
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1206
1207
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1208
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1209
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1210
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1211
1212
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1213
#56322)
1214
1215
BUGFIXES:
1216
1217
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1218
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1219
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1220
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1221
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1222
1223
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1224
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1225
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1226
1227
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1229
1230
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1231
into account.
1232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1233
1234
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1235
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1236
1237
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1238
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1239
1240
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1241
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1242
1243
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1244
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1245
1246
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1247
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1248
1249
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1250
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1251
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
1254
====================
1255
1256
BUGFIXES:
1257
1258
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1259
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1260
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1261
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1262
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1263
1264
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1265
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1266
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1267
1268
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1269
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1270
1271
IMPROVEMENTS:
1272
1273
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1274
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1275
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1276
1277
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1278
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1279
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1280
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1283
=======================
1284
1285
BUGFIXES:
1286
1287
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1288
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1289
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1290
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1291
1292
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1293
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1294
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1295
1296
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1297
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1298
1299
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1300
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1301
1302
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1303
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1306
=======================
1307
1308
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1309
1310
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1311
it could be recovered again.
1312
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1313
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1314
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1315
but not delete it.
1316
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1317
files.
1318
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1319
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1320
1321
IMPROVEMENTS:
1322
1323
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1324
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1325
1326
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1327
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1328
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1329
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1330
1331
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1332
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1333
1334
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1335
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1336
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1337
1338
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1339
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1340
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1341
1342
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1343
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1344
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1345
1346
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1347
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1348
Robert Collins)
1349
1350
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1351
Pool)
1352
1353
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1354
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1355
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1356
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1357
1358
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1359
(Robert Collins)
1360
1361
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1362
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1363
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1364
(Robert Collins)
1365
1366
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1367
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1368
1369
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1370
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1371
1372
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1373
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1374
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1375
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1376
(Robert Collins)
1377
1378
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1379
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1380
1381
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1382
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1383
1384
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1385
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1386
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1387
1388
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1389
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1390
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1391
1392
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1393
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1394
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1395
1396
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1397
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1398
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1399
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1400
1401
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1402
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1403
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1404
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1405
1406
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1407
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1408
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1409
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1410
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1411
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1412
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1413
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1414
header(s).
1415
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1416
1417
INTERNALS:
1418
1419
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1420
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1421
1422
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1423
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1424
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1425
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1426
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1427
1428
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1429
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1430
1431
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1432
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1433
1434
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1435
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1436
1437
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1438
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1439
1440
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1441
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1442
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1443
(Robert Collins).
1444
1445
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1446
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1447
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1448
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1449
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1450
(Robert Collins)
1451
1452
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1453
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1454
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1455
1456
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1457
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1458
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1459
1460
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1461
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1462
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1464
1465
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1466
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1467
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1468
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1469
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1470
1471
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1472
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1473
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1474
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1475
1476
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1477
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1478
1479
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1480
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1481
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1482
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1483
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1484
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1485
1486
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1487
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1488
1489
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1490
help. (Robert Collins)
1491
1492
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1493
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1494
1495
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1496
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1497
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1498
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1499
(John Arbash Meinel)
1500
1501
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1502
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1503
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1504
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1505
useful. (Robert Collins)
1506
1507
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1508
(Andrew Bennetts)

1510
BUGFIXES:
1511
1512
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1513
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1514
1515
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1516
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1517
1518
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1519
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1520
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1521
1522
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1523
(Aaron Bentley)
1524
1525
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1526
the file, and does it faster.
1527
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1528
1529
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1530
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1531
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1532
1533
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1534
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1535
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1536
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1537
1538
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1539
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1540
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1541
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1542
1543
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1544
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1545
1546
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1547
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1548
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1549
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1550
Arbash Meinel)
1551
1552
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1553
1554
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1555
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1556
1557
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1558
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1559
1560
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1561
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1562
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1563
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1564
security hole.
1565
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1566
1567
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1569
1570
TESTING:
1571
1572
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1573
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1574
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1577
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1578
1579
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1580
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1581
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1582
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1583
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1584
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1585
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1586
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1587
1588
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1589
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1590
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1591
1592
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1593
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1594
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1595
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1596
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1597
access.
1598
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1599
1600
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1601
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1602
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1603
1604
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1605
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1623
CHANGES:
1624
1625
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1626
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1627
(Martin Pool)
1628
1629
IMPROVEMENTS:
1630
1631
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1632
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1633
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1634
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1635
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1636
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1637
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1638
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1639
path. (vila)
1640
1641
INTERNALS:
1642
1643
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1644
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1645
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1646
1647
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1648
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1649
(Martin Pool)
1650
1651
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1652
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1653
(John Arbash Meinel)
1654
1655
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1656
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1657
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1658
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1659
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1660
1661
BUGFIXES:
1662
1663
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1664
(vila, #92195)
1665
1666
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1667
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1668
1669
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1670
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1671
1672
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1673
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1674
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1675
1676
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1677
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1678
1679
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1680
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1681
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1682
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1683
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1684
1685
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1686
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1687
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1688
1689
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1693
=======================
1694
1695
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1696
1697
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1698
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1699
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1700
1701
IMPROVEMENTS:
1702
1703
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1704
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1705
1706
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1707
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1708
1709
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1710
1711
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1712
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1713
1714
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1715
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1716
1717
INTERNALS:
1718
1719
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1720
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1721
1722
BUGFIXES:
1723
1724
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1725
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1726
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1727
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1728
1729
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1730
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1731
1732
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1733
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1734
1735
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1736
(Marien Zwart)
1737
1738
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

1742
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1743
=======================
1744
1745
SURPRISES:
1746
1747
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1748
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1749
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1750
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1751
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1752
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1753
1754
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1755
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1756
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1757
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1758
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1759
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1760
development.
1761
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1762
1763
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1764
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1765
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1766
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1767
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1768
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1769
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1770
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1771
1772
IMPROVEMENTS:
1773
1774
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1775
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1776
1777
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1778
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1779
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1780
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1781
does exist.
1782
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1783
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1784
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1785
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1786
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1787
1788
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1789
(Aaron Bentley)
1790
1791
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1792
(Aaron Bentley)
1793
1794
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1795
(Robert Collins)
1796
1797
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1798
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1799
(Aaron Bentley)
1800
1801
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1802
(Aaron Bentley)
1803
1804
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1805
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1806
1807
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1808
directory. (Martin Pool)
1809
1810
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1811
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1812
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1813
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1814
1815
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1816
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1817
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1818
in docs/configuration.txt.
1819
1820
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1821
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1822
bind location.
1823
1824
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1825
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1826
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1827
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1828
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1829
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1830
1831
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1832
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1833
1834
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1835
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1836
1837
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1838
(Aaron Bentley)
1839
1840
INTERNALS:
1841
1842
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1843
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1844
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1845
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1846
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1847
(John Arbash Meinel)
1848
1849
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1850
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1851
(Aaron Bentley)
1852
1853
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1854
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1855
(John Arbash Meinel)
1856
1857
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1858
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1859
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1860
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1861
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1862
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1863
1864
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1865
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1866
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1867
1868
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1869
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1870
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1871
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1872
repository.
1873
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1874
1875
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1876
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1877
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1878
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1879
1880
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1881
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1882
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1883
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1884
1885
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1886
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1887
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1888
1889
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1890
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1891
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1892
1893
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1894
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1895
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1896
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1897
1898
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1899
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1900
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1901
1902
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1903
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1904
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1905
1906
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1907
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1908
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1909
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1910
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1911
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1912
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1913
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1914
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

1916
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1917
1918
BUGFIXES:
1919
1920
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1921
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1922
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1923
1924
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1925
(Aaron Bentley)
1926
1927
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1928
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1929
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1930
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1931
1932
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1933
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1934
#83954).
1935
1936
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1937
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1938
1939
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1940
1941
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1942
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1943
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1944
1945
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1946
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1947
1948
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1950
1951
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1952
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1953
1954
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1955
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1956
1957
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1958
1959
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1960
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1961
1962
TESTING:
1963
1964

1971
IMPROVEMENTS:
1972
1973
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1974
1975
BUG FIXES:
1976
1977
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1978
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1979
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1980
1981
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1982
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1983
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1986
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1987
=======================
1988
1989
IMPROVEMENTS:
1990
1991
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1992
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1993
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1994
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1995
1996
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1997
(Marius Kruger)
1998
1999
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2000
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2001
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2002
2003
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2004
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2005
2006
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2007
(Aaron Bentley)
2008
2009
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2010
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2011
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2012
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2013
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2014
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2015
2016
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2017
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2018
should enable you to do::
2019
2020
[/home/user/project]
2021
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2022
push_location:policy = appendpath
2023
2024
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2025
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2026
(James Henstridge)
2027
2028
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2029
for each file. For example::
2030
2031
$ bzr status --short
2032
A foo
2033
A bar
2034
D baz
2035
? wooley
2036
2037
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2038
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2039
2040
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2041
2042
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2043
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2044
2045
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2046
2047
INTERNALS:
2048
2049
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2050
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2051
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2052
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2053
2054
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2055
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2056
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2057
2058
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2059
2060
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2061
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2062
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2063
(Alexander Belchenko)
2064
2065
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2066
Pool)
2067
2068
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2069
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2070
2071
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2072
2073
BUG FIXES:
2074
2075
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2076
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2077
2078
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2079
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2080
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2081
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2082
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2083
2084
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2085
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2086
2087
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2088
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2089
2090
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2091
matcher.
2092
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2093
2094
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2095
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2096
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2097
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2098
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2099
2100
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2101
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2102
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2103
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2104
2105
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2106
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2107
2108
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2109
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2110
2111
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2112
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2113
2114
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2127
2128
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2129
tree from a branch.
2130
(Daniel Silverstone)
2131
2132
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2133
operations are substantially faster.
2134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2135
2136
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2137
tree from some other url. For example:
2138
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2139
(Daniel Silverstone)
2140
2141
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2142
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2143
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2144
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2145
2146
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2147
(Andrew Bennetts)
2148
2149
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2150
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2151
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2152
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2153
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2154
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2155
2156
INTERNALS:
2157
2158
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2159
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2160
(Martin Pool)
2161
2162
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2163
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2164
(John Arbash Meinel)
2165
2166
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2167
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2168
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2169
(John Arbash Meinel)
2170
2171
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2172
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2173
2174
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2175
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2176
2177
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2178
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2179
Bennetts)
2180
2181
BUG FIXES:
2182
2183
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2184
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2185
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2186
2187
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2188
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2189
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2190
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2191
2192
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2193
2194
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2195
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2196
2197
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2198
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2199
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2200
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2201
2202
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2203
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2204
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2205
2206
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2207
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2208
them as full references rather than integers.
2209
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2210
2211
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2212
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2213
2214
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2215
2216
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2217
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2218
2219
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2220
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2221
2222
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2223
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2224
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2225
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2226
2227
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2228
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2229
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2230
2231
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2232
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2233
2234
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2235
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2236
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2237
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2238
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2239
2240
TESTING:
2241
2242
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2243
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2255
=======================
2256
2257
IMPROVEMENTS:
2258
2259
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2260
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2261
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2262
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2263
2264
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2265
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2268
2269
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2270
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2271
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2272
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2273
2274
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2275
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2276
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2277
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2278
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2279
2280
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2281
2282
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2283
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2284
2285
INTERNALS:
2286
2287
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2288
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2289
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2290
2291
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2292
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2293
(John Arbash Meinel)
2294
2295
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2296
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2297
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2298
2299
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2300
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2301
(Aaron Bentley)
2302
2303
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2304
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2305
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2306
2307
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2308
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2309
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2310
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2311
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2312
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2313
2314
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2315
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2316
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2317
(Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2320
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2321
2322
BUG FIXES:
2323
2324
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2325
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2326
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2327
#63360, #66349)
2328
2329
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2330
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2331
2332
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2333
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2334
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2335
2336
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2337
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2338
2339
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2340
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2341
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2342
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2343
2344
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2345
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2346
2347
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2348
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2349
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2350
2351
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2352
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2353
2354
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2355
2356
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2357
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2358
#32054)
2359
2360
TESTING:
2361
2362
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2363
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2364
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2365
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2366
2367
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2368
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2369
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2370
2371
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
2372
====================
2373
2374
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2375
2376
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2377
=======================
2378
2379
BUG FIXES:
2380
2381
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2382
2383
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2384
Arbash Meinel).
2385
2386
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2387
=======================
2388
2389
IMPROVEMENTS:
2390
2391
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2392
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2393
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2394
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2395
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2396
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2397
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2398
2399
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2400
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2401
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2404
2405
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2406
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2409
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2410
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2411
(Robert Collins)
2412
2413
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2414
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2415
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2416
(John Arbash Meinel)
2417
2418
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2419
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2420
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2421
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2422
Pool)
2423
2424
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2425
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2426
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2427
(John Arbash Meinel)
2428
2429
BUG FIXES:
2430
2431
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2432
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2433
2434
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2435
2436
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2437
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2438
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2439
2440
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2441
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2442
2443
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2444
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2445
2446
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2448
2449
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2450
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2451
2452
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2453
2454
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2455
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2456
2457
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2458
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2459
2460
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2461
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2462
2463
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2464
(John Arbash Meinel)
2465
2466
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2467
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2468
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2469
2470
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2471
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2472
2473
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2474
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2475
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2476
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2477
2478
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2479
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2480
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2481
2482
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2483
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2484
2485
PORTABILITY:
2486
2487
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2488
2489
INTERNALS:
2490
2491
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2492
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2493
(John Arbash Meinel)
2494
2495
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2496
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2497
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2498
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2499
2500
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2501
(Andrew Bennetts)
2502
2503
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2504
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2505
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2506
2507
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2508
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2509
2510
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2511
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2512
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2513
2514
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2515
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2516
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2517
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2518
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2519
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2520
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2521
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2522
caller to repeat their request.
2523
(John Arbash Meinel)
2524
2525
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2526
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2527
2528
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2529
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2532
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2533
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2534
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2535
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2536
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2537
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2538
2539
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2540
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2541
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2542
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2543
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2544
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2545
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2546
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2547
(Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2550
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2551
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2552
2553
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2554
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2555
2556
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2557
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2558
2559
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2560
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2561
2562
TESTING:
2563
2564
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2565
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2566
2567
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2568
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2569
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2570
2571
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2572
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2573
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2574
2575
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2576
====================
2577
2578
IMPROVEMENTS:
2579
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2580
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2581
2582
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2583
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2584
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2585
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2586
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2587
2588
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2589
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2590
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2591
2592
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2593
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2594
2595
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2596
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2597
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2598
2599
BUG FIXES:
2600
2601
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2602
2603
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2604
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2605
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2606
2607
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2608
2609
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2610
2611
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2612
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2613
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2614
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2615
2616
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2617
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2618
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2619
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2620
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2621
2622
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2623
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2624
2625
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2626
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2627
2628
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2629
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2630
2631
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2632
in handling of revision properties.
2633
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2634
2635
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2636
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2637
2638
INTERNALS:
2639
2640
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2641
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2642
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2643
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2644
(John Arbash Meinel)
2645
2646
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2647
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2648
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2649
2650
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2651
=====================
2652
2653
SURPRISES:
2654
2655
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2656
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2657
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2658
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2659
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2660
a more conservative list than the old default.
2661
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2662
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2663
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2664
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2665
2666
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2667
to more locations than just branch locations.
2668
(Aaron Bentley)
2669
2670
IMPROVEMENTS:
2671
2672
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2673
revno:N:branch. For example,
2674
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2675
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2676
2677
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2678
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2679
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2680
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2681
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2682
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2683
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2684
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2685
#42517, #42514)
2686
2687
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2688
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2689
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2690
(Malone #3507)
2691
2692
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2693
(Alexander Belchenko)
2694
2695
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2696
2697
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2698
(Robert Collins).
2699
2700
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2701
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2702
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2703
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2704
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2705
(John Arbash Meinel)
2706
2707
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2708
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2709
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2710
grained analysis of performance.
2711
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2712
2713
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2714
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2715
2716
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2717
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2718
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2719
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2720
file. (Robert Collins).
2721
2722
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2723
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2724
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2725
2726
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2727
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2728
Matthieu Moy)
2729
2730
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2731
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2732
2733
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2734
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2735
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2736
the same way you would apply another branch.
2737
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2738
2739
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2740
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2741
2742
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2743
(Michael Ellerman)
2744
2745
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2746
(Aaron Bentley)
2747
2748
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2749
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2750
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2751
2752
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2753
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2754
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2755
2756
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2757
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2758
2759
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2760
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2761
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2762
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2763
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2764
2765
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2766
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2767
2768
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2769
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2770
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2771
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2772
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2773
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2774
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2775
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2776
2777
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2778
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2779
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2780
2781
BUG FIXES:
2782
2783
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2784
tests not to run.
2785
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2786
2787
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2788
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2789
2790
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2791
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2792
2793
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2794
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2795
2796
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2797
2798
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2799
(John Arbash Meinel)
2800
2801
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2802
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2803
2804
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2805
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2806
and y.
2807
2808
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2809
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2810
2811
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2812
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2813
2814
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2815
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2816
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2817
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2818
2819
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2820
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2821
2822
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2823
2824
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2825
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2826
2827
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2828
2829
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2830
2831
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2832
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2833
2834
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2835
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2836
2837
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2838
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2839
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2840
2841
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2842
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2843
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2844
2845
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2846
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2847
2848
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2849
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2850
2851
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2852
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2853
2854
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2855
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2856
2857
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2858
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2859
2860
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2861
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2862
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2863
2864
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2865
2866
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2867
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2868
2869
INTERNALS:
2870
2871
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2872
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2873
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2874
2875
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2876
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2877
2878
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2879
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2880
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2881
2882
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2883
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2884
2885
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2886
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2887
(Martin Pool)
2888
2889
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2890
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2891
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2892
2893
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2894
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2895
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2896
2897
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2898
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2899
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2900
2901
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2902
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2903
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2904
2905
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2906
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2907
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2908
2909
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2910
instead. (Robert Collins)
2911
2912
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2927
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2928
2929
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2930
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2931
2932
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2933
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2946
2947
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2948
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

2950
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2951
2952
NEW FEATURES:
2953
2954
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2963
2964

2969
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2970
===================
2971
2972
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2973
2974
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2975
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2976
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2977
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2978
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2979
will keep the same format.
2980
2981
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2982
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2983
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2984
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2985
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2986
2987
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2988
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2989
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2990
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2991
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2992
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2993
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2994
2995
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2996
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2997
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2998
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2999
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3000
3001
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3002
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3003
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3004
arrangement.
3005
3006
3007
IMPROVEMENTS:
3008
3009
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3010
convention. Paths now take the form::
3011
3012
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3013
or
3014
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3015
3016
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3017
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3018
3019
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3020
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3021
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3022
3023
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3024
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3025
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3026
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3027
3028
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3029
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3030
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3031
3032
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3033
3034
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3035
3036
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3037
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3038
commits::
3039
3040
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3041
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3042
| xargs bzr re-sign
3043
3044
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3045
3046
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3047
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3048
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3049
(Robert Collins)
3050
3051
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3052
3053
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3054
3055
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3056
'.moved'.
3057
3058
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3059
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3060
3061
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3062
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3063
Daniel Silverstone)
3064
3065
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3066
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3067
Martin Pool)
3068
3069
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3070
3071
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3072
3073
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3074
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3075
3076
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3077
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3078
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3079
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3080
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3081
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3082
3083
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3084
3085
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3086
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3087
(Robert Collins)
3088
3089
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3090
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3091
3092
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3093
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3094
3095
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3096
3097
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3098
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3099
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3100
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3101
specification by Martin Pool.
3102
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3103
3104
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3105
Belchenko)
3106
3107
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3108
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3109
3110
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3111
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3112
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3113
3114
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3115
3116
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3117
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3118
(Robert Collins)
3119
3120
CHANGES:
3121
3122
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3123
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3124
3125
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3126
3127
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3128
3129
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3130
(Olaf Conradi)
3131
3132
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3133
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3134
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3135
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3136
3137
INTERNALS:
3138
3139
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3140
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3141
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3142
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3143
3144
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3145
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3146
tried. (Martin Pool)
3147
3148
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3149
(Martin Pool)
3150
3151
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3152
3153
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3154
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3155
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3156
3157
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3158
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3159
3160
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3161
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3162
paths. (Robert Collins)
3163
3164
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3165
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3166
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3167
3168
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3169
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3170
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3171
3172
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3173
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3174
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3175
3176
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3177
(Olaf Conradi)
3178
3179
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3180
(Olaf Conradi)
3181
3182
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3183
3184
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3185
3186
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3187
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3188
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3189
(Robert Collins)
3190
3191
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3192
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3193
3194
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3195
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3196
check. (Robert Collins)
3197
3198
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3199
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3200
3201
TESTING:
3202
3203
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3204
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3205
3206
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3207
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3208
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3209
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3210
3211
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3212
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3213
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3214
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3215
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3216
3217
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3218
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3219
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3220
3221
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3222
3223
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3224
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3225

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3227
==================
3228
3229
CHANGES:
3230
3231
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3232
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3233
3234
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3235
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3236
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3237
(Johan Rydberg)
3238
3239
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3240
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3241
3242
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3243
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3244
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3245
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3246
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3247
3248
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3249
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3250
used. (Robert Collins)
3251
3252
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3253
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3254
(James Henstridge)
3255
3256
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3257
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3258
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3259
3260
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3261
ignore list.
3262
3263
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3264
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3265
3266
IMPROVEMENTS:
3267
3268
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3269
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3270
3271
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3272
3273
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3274
3275
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3276
tree. (Robert Collins)
3277
3278
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3279
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3280
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3281
(Robert Collins)
3282
3283
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3284
that they be kept.
3285
3286
* Tweaks to short log printing
3287
3288
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3289
(Aaron Bentley)
3290
3291
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3292
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3293
3294
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3295
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3296
3297
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3298
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3299
3300
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3301
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3302
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3303
3304
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3305
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3306
3307
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3308
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3309
requests.
3310
3311
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3312
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3313
3314
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3315
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3316
3317
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3318
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3319
3320
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3321
(Denys Duchier)
3322
3323
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3324
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3325
3326
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3327
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3328
3329
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3330
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3331
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3332
3333
BUG FIXES:
3334
3335
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3336
3337
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3338
3339
* Error when run with -OO
3340
3341
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3342
(Martin Pool)
3343
3344
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3345
3346
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3347
3348
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3349
ignored by diff and status
3350
3351
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3352
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3353
3354
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3355
3356
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3357
3358
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3359
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3360
3361
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3362
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3363
3364
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3365
(Harald Meland)
3366
3367
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3368
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3369
3370
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3371
3372
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3373
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3374
3375
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3376
(Martin Pool)
3377
3378
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3379
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3380
3381
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3382
3383
TESTING:
3384
3385
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3386
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3387
3388
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3389
3390
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3391
3392
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3393
3394
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3395
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3396
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3397
3398
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3399
3400
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3401
(John Arbash Meinel)
3402
3403
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3404
3405
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3406
If adding a new test script please add that to
3407
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3408
3409
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3410
imported. (Martin Pool)
3411
3412
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3413
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3414
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3415
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3416
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3417
(Robert Collins)
3418
3419
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3420
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3421
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3422
3423
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3424
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3425
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3426
3427
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3428
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3429
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3430
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3431
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3432
(Robert Collins).
3433
3434
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3435
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3436
(Robert Collins).
3437
3438
INTERNALS:
3439
3440
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3441
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3442
3443
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3444
function. (Robert Collins)
3445
3446
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3447
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3448
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3449
3450
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3451
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3452
(Robert Collins)
3453
3454
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3455
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3456
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3457
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3458
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3459
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3460
version. (Robert Collins)
3461
3462
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3463
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3464
3465
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3466
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3467
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3468
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3469
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3470
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3471
3472
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3473
(Robert Collins)
3474
3475
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3476
3477
add()
3478
commit()
3479
move()
3480
rename_one()
3481
unknowns()
3482
3483
(Robert Collins)
3484
3485
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3486
3487
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3488
3489
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3490
Pool)
3491
3492
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3493
query method. (Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3496
(Denys Duchier)
3497
3498
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3499
(Michael Ellerman)
3500
3501
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3502
(Michael Ellerman)
3503
3504
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3505
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3506
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3507
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3508
3509
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3510
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3511
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3512
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3513
3514
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3515
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3516
3517
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3518
==================
3519
3520
IMPROVEMENTS:
3521
3522
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3523
(John A Meinel)
3524
3525
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3526
conflicts.
3527
(Aaron Bentley)
3528
3529
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3530
a separator, not ':'.
3531
(Aaron Bentley)
3532
3533
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3534
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3535
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3536
3537
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3538
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3539
(Robert Collins)
3540
3541
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3542
has been added that suppresses all output.
3543
3544
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3545
Adams.
3546
3547
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3548
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3549
3550
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3551
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3552
3553
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3554
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3555
3556
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3557
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3558
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3559
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3560
3561
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3562
3563
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3564
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3565
3566
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3567
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3568
3569
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3570
output directory, if one was supplied.
3571
3572
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3573
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3574
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3575
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3576
3577
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3578
3579
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3580
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3581
3582
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3583
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3584
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3585
3586
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3587
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3588
3589
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3590
(Aaron Bentley)
3591
3592
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3593
3594
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3595
3596
TESTING:
3597
3598
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3599
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3600
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3601
3602
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3603
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3604
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3605
3606
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3607
is given. (Martin Pool)
3608
3609
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3610
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3611
file. (Robert Collins)
3612
3613
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3614
(Martin Pool)
3615
3616
INTERNALS:
3617
3618
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3619
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3620
representation. (Martin Pool).
3621
3622
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3623
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3624
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3625
3626
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3627
(Robert Collins)
3628
3629
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3630
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3631
Magnus Therning.
3632
3633
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3634
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3635
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3636
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3637
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3638
3639
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3640
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3641
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3642
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3643
python path. (Robert Collins)
3644
3645
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3646
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3647
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3648
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3649
3650
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3651
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3652
3653
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3654
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3655
(Robert Collins)
3656
3657
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3658
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3659
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3660
3661
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3662
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3663
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3664
3665
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3666
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3667
3668
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3669
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3670
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3671
(Robert Collins)
3672
3673
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3674
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3675
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3676
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3677
(Robert Collins)
3678
3679
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3680
(Robert Collins)
3681
3682
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3683
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3684
(Robert Collins)
3685
3686
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3687
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3688
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3689
3690
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3691
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3692
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3693
3694
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3695
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3696
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3697
3698
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3699
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3700
3701
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3702
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3703
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3704
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3705
caller. (Robert Collins)
3706
3707
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3708
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3709
(Robert Collins).
3710
3711
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3712
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3713
(Aaron Bentley)
3714
3715
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3716
3717
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3718
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3719
3720
BUG FIXES:
3721
3722
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3723
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3724
3725
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3726
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3729
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3730
====================
3731
3732
BUG FIXES:
3733
3734
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3735
allow directories to be listed.
3736
3737
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3738
upgrading branch format.
3739
3740
PERFORMANCE:
3741
3742
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3743
3744
3745
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3746
==================
3747
3748
NOTES:
3749
3750
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3751
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3752
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3753
high-latency connections.
3754
3755
BUG FIXES:
3756
3757
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3758
Rob Weir.
3759
3760
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3761
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3762
3763
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3764
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3765
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3766
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3767
3768
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3769
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3770
3771
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3772
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3773
3774
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3775
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3776
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3777
3778
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3779
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3780
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3781
Robert Collins
3782
3783
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3784
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3785
3786
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3787
different partial views of history.
3788
3789
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3790
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3791
3792
IMPROVEMENTS:
3793
3794
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3795
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3796
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3797
3798
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3799
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3800
'bzr upgrade'.
3801
3802
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3803
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3804
3805
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3806
Niemeyer.
3807
3808
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3809
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3810
3811
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3812
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3813
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3814
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3815
3816
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3817
3818
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3819
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3820
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3821
3822
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3823
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3824
3825
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3826
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3827
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3828
3829
3830
INTERNALS:
3831
3832
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3833
for your viewing pleasure.
3834
3835
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3836
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3837
3838
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3839
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3840
handling of such circumstances.
3841
3842
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3843
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3844
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3845
3846
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3847
3848
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3849
we call them revisions not patches.
3850
3851
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3852
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3853
3854
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3855
giving the revision *of that file*.
3856
3857
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3858
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3859
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3860
3861
TESTING:
3862
3863
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3864
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3865
3866
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3867
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3868
3869
3870
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3871
====================
3872
3873
BUG FIXES:
3874
3875
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3876
3877
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3878
(Robert Collins).
3879
3880
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3881
3882
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3883
3884
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3885
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3886
3887
IMPROVEMENTS:
3888
3889
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3890
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3891
3892
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3893
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3894
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3895
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3896
Robey Pointer
3897
3898
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3899
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3900
3901
INTERNALS:
3902
3903
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3904
3905
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3906
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3907
3908
3909
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3910
====================
3911
3912
IMPROVEMENTS:
3913
3914
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3915
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3916
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3917
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3918
Michael Ellerman.
3919
3920
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3921
(Nir Soffer)
3922
3923
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3924
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3925
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3926
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3927
for the operating system is still tried.
3928
3929
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3930
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3931
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3932
3933
3934
INTERNALS:
3935
3936
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3937
3938
BUG FIXES:
3939
3940
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3941
3942
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3943
branch.
3944
3945
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3946
read.
3947
3948
3949
PORTABILITY:
3950
3951
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3952
3953
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3954
3955
3956
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3957
====================
3958
3959
NEW FEATURES:
3960
3961
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3962
help with intelligent shell completion.
3963
3964
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3965
3966
3967
ENHANCEMENTS:
3968
3969
* Much better merge support.
3970
3971
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3972
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3973
like emacs smerge.
3974
3975
3976
BUG FIXES:
3977
3978
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3979
mention revisions that are not present.
3980
3981
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3982
3983
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3984
3985
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3986
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3987
3988
3989
CHANGES:
3990
3991
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3992
3993
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3994
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3995
--help themselves.
3996
3997
3998
LIBRARY:
3999
4000
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4001
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4002
libraries.
4003
4004
4005
4006
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4007
====================
4008
4009
NEW FEATURES:
4010
4011
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4012
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4013
4014
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4015
4016
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4017
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4018
4019
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4020
FOO.
4021
4022
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4023
4024
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4025
the Unix command.
4026
4027
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4028
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4029
4030
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4031
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4032
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4033
4034
4035
ENHANCEMENTS:
4036
4037
* Faster working tree operations.
4038
4039
4040
CHANGES:
4041
4042
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4043
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4044
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4045
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4046
4047
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4048
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4049
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4050
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4051
standard plugins directory.
4052
4053
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4054
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4055
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4056
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4057
4058
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4059
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4060
4061
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4062
disk.
4063
4064
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4065
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4066
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4067
4068
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4069
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4070
4071
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4072
line options must come before the command name because they
4073
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4074
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4075
it.
4076
4077
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4078
4079
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4080
is available with ``--short``.
4081
4082
4083
BUG FIXES:
4084
4085
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4086
4087
4088
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4089
=====================
4090
4091
CHANGES:
4092
4093
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4094
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4095
4096
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4097
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4098
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4099
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4100
4101
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4102
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4103
with the ``--forward`` option.
4104
4105
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4106
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4107
field.
4108
4109
4110
ENHANCEMENTS:
4111
4112
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4113
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4114
4115
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4116
4117
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4118
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4119
4120
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4121
4122
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4123
either read or write mode.
4124
4125
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4126
4127
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4128
affected that file.
4129
4130
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4131
4132
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4133
suggested by LarstiQ.
4134
4135
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4136
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4137
4138
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4139
a filename.
4140
4141
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4142
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4143
4144
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4145
haven't changed since the previous time.
4146
4147
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4148
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4149
4150
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4151
4152
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4153
4154
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4155
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4156
4157
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4158
options through to an external GNU diff.
4159
4160
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4161
their contents.
4162
4163
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4164
from a branch.
4165
4166
4167
BUG FIXES:
4168
4169
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4170
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4171
4172
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4173
metacharacters.
4174
4175
4176
TESTING:
4177
4178
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4179
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4180
the tests.
4181
4182
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4183
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4184
4185
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4186
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4187
4188
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4189
under a different version.
4190
4191
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4192
4193
4194
INTERNAL:
4195
4196
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4197
4198
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4199
Scott James Remnant.
4200
4201
* Better help messages for many commands.
4202
4203
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4204
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4205
4206
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4207
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4208
4209
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4210
4211
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4212
4213
* New AtomicFile class.
4214
4215
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4216
4217
4218
PORTABILITY:
4219
4220
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4221
2.4 is now only recommended.

4225
=====================
4226
4227
ENHANCEMENTS:
4228
4229
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4230
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4231
4232
* More default ignore patterns.
4233
4234
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4235
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4236
4237
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4238
4239
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4240
by Jason Diamon.
4241
4242
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4243
4244
4245
CHANGES:
4246
4247
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4248
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4249
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4250
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4251
there are DNS problems.
4252
4253
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4254
4255
4256
BUG FIXES:
4257
4258
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4259
4260

* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4263
trailing newlines properly.
4264
4265
4266
INTERNAL:
4267
4268
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4269
Matt Brubeck.
4270
4271
* More tests in test.sh.
4272
4273
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4274
directory and delete it when done.
4275
4276
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4277
4278
4279
PORTABILITY:
4280
4281
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4282
Bennetts.
4283
4284
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4285
from QuantumG.

4308

4309
4310
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4311
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4312
will do for now.)
4313
4314
PORTABILITY:
4315
4316
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4317
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro

4349
* More help topics.
4350
4351
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4352
branch.
4353
4354
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4355
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4356
4357
* Performance improvements.
4358
4359
* New global --profile option.
4360
4361
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in

4386
installation easier.
4387
4388

4389
supported).
