14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
38
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
39
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
44
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
45
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
47
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
48
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
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)
55
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
58
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
59
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
61
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
62
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
64
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
65
the contents. (Robert Collins)
69
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
70
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
72
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
73
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
75
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
76
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
78
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
84
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
88
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
89
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
90
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
91
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
93
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
94
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
95
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
96
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
97
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
99
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
100
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
102
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
104
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
106
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
107
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
109
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
110
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
112
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
113
contains a symbolic link.
114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
116
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
117
(James Westby, #140615)
119
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
120
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
123
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
124
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
125
(Martin Pool, #144633)
127
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
130
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
134
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
135
directory to detect leaking tests.
136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
138
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
139
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
140
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
142
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
145
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
146
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
148
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
153
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
154
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
156
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
157
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
158
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
160
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
161
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
162
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
164
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
165
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
167
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
168
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
170
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
171
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
174
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
175
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
177
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
181
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
182
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
184
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
185
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
186
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
188
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
189
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
190
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
193
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
194
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
195
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
196
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
201
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
202
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
203
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
205
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
206
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
207
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
208
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
210
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
211
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
214
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
215
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
216
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
218
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
219
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
220
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
222
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
223
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
225
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
226
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
227
to complete. (Robert Collins)
229
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
230
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
232
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
233
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
234
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
236
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
237
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
238
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
240
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
241
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
242
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
243
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
245
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
246
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
247
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
248
returned. (Robert Collins)
250
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
251
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
253
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
254
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
255
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
256
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
261
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
262
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
264
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
265
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
266
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
267
makes this behavior available to other users.
276
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
277
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
278
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
280
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
282
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
283
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
284
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
285
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
287
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
288
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
292
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
293
======================
295
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
299
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
300
======================
304
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
305
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
306
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
307
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
310
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
311
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
312
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
317
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
318
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
319
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
322
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
323
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
324
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
326
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
327
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
328
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
330
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
331
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
333
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
334
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
335
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
336
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
337
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
338
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
339
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
340
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
341
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
342
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
344
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
345
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
347
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
348
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
349
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
353
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
354
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
356
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
357
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
358
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
360
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
361
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
363
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
364
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
366
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
369
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
370
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
372
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
373
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
375
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
376
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
378
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
379
(Blake Winton, #129299)
381
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
383
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
386
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
387
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
388
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
389
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
391
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
393
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
394
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
397
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
398
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
400
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
401
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
404
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
405
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
407
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
408
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
410
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
411
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
412
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
413
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
414
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
415
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
416
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
418
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
419
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
421
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
422
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
424
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
425
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
427
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
430
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
434
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
435
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
437
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
438
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
439
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
441
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
442
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
443
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
447
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
448
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
450
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
453
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
456
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
457
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
459
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
461
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
462
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
464
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
465
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
467
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
468
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
469
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
470
space). (Robert Collins)
472
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
473
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
476
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
477
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
479
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
480
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
482
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
483
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
484
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
485
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
487
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
488
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
489
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
492
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
495
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
496
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
497
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
499
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
500
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
501
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
502
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
503
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
507
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
508
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
510
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
511
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
512
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
513
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
514
affected. (Robert Collins)
516
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
517
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
518
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
521
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
522
previous release. (Martin Pool)
526
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
527
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
529
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
530
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
532
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
533
previous release. (Martin Pool)
535
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
538
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
539
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
543
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
544
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
545
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
546
its version information. (Robert Collins)
548
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
549
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
551
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
552
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
553
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
554
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
556
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
557
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
558
present. (Robert Collins)
560
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
561
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
562
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
563
API. (Robert Collins)
565
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
566
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
569
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
570
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
572
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
573
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
574
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
575
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
576
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
577
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
579
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
580
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
581
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
583
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
584
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
585
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
586
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
589
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
592
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
593
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
594
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
595
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
596
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
597
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
598
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
600
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
601
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
602
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
603
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
605
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
606
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
607
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
608
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
609
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
610
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
612
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
613
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
614
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
616
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
617
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
625
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
626
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
627
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
628
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
629
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
630
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
631
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
632
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
637
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
638
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
639
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
642
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
643
======================
647
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
648
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
649
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
650
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
651
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
653
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
656
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
660
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
661
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
664
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
665
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
668
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
671
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
672
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
674
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
675
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
677
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
678
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
680
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
681
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
683
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
684
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
686
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
691
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
692
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
694
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
695
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
697
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
698
the repository (Robert Collins)
700
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
701
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
702
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
703
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
704
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
706
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
707
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
709
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
710
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
713
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
714
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
715
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
717
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
718
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
719
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
722
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
723
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
726
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
727
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
729
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
732
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
734
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
736
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
737
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
739
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
740
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
743
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
744
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
745
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
746
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
748
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
749
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
750
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
752
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
753
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
754
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
756
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
757
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
759
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
760
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
761
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
762
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
763
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
764
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
767
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
768
(Alexander Belchenko)
770
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
771
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
773
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
774
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
776
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
778
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
779
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
783
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
784
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
785
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
786
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
788
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
790
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
793
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
794
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
795
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
796
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
797
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
798
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
802
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
803
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
804
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
805
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
807
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
808
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
809
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
810
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
811
tests have been refactored too.
814
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
815
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
816
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
820
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
821
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
822
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
824
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
825
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
826
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
827
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
828
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
829
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
830
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
832
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
833
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
834
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
835
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
838
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
839
functionality for testing.
841
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
843
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
844
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
846
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
848
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
851
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
852
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
854
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
855
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
856
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
858
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
861
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
862
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
864
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
865
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
866
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
867
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
869
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
870
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
872
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
873
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
874
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
876
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
879
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
880
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
881
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
882
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
883
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
884
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
886
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
887
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
888
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
889
many files. (Robert Collins)
891
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
892
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
893
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
894
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
898
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
899
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
900
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
902
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
903
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
905
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
906
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
907
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
915
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
918
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
919
=======================
923
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
924
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
926
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
927
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
928
(James Westby, #122656)
930
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
931
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
933
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
934
authentication header.
935
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
937
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
939
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
940
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
942
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
944
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
947
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
948
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
951
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
952
individually and as part of revision ranges.
955
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
956
(Martin Pool, #109169)
958
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
959
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
961
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
962
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
964
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
966
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
970
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
971
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
972
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
973
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
974
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
975
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
977
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
978
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
979
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
981
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
984
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
985
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
987
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
988
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
990
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
991
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
993
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
994
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
995
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
996
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
997
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
999
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1000
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1002
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1003
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1004
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1006
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1007
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1009
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1011
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1012
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1014
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1015
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1018
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1021
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1022
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1024
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1025
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1027
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1028
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1030
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1032
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1033
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1035
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1040
* Testing cleanups -
1041
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1042
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1043
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1044
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1045
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1046
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1047
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1048
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1049
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1050
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1051
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1052
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1053
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1054
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1055
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1056
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1057
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1060
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1062
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1063
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1064
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1066
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1067
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1069
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1070
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1072
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1074
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1075
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1076
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1077
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1078
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1079
same location. (Robert Collins)
1083
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1085
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1087
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1089
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1092
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1095
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1096
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1097
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1099
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1101
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1102
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1103
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1105
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1106
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1108
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1109
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1110
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1112
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1113
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1114
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1116
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1117
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1118
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1120
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1121
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1124
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1125
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1127
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1128
(Alexander Belchenko)
1132
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1133
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1134
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1135
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1137
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1138
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1139
testing. (Robert Collins)
1141
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1142
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1144
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1145
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1146
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1147
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1148
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1149
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1150
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1152
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1153
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1154
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1155
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1157
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1158
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1160
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1161
avoid useless cloning.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1166
====================
1170
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1171
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1173
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

=======================
1180
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1182
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1183
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1184
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1185
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1186
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1187
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1188
and unlock() like so::
1190
work_tree.lock_read()
1192
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1197
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1198
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1200
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1201
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1202
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1204
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1205
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1206
too. (Robert Collins)
1210
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1211
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1214
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1215
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1217
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1218
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1220
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1221
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1222
understanding what changes have occurred
1223
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1225
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1226
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1227
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1229
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1230
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1231
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1232
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1234
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1239
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1240
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1241
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1242
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1243
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1245
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1246
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1247
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1249
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1252
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1256
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1257
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1259
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1260
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1262
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1263
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1265
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1266
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1268
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1269
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1271
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1272
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1273
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1276
====================
1280
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1281
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1282
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1283
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1284
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1286
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1287
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1288
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1290
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1291
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1295
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1296
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1297
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1299
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1300
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1301
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1302
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1304
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1305
=======================
1309
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1310
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1311
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1312
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1314
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1315
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1316
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1318
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1319
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1321
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1322
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1324
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1325
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1327
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1328
=======================
1330
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1332
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1333
it could be recovered again.
1334
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1335
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1336
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1338
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1340
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1341
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1345
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1346
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1348
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1349
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1350
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1351
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1353
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1354
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1356
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1357
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1358
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1360
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1361
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1362
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1364
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1365
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1366
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1368
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1369
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1372
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1375
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1376
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1377
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1378
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1380
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1383
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1384
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1385
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1388
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1389
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1391
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1392
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1394
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1395
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1396
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1397
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1400
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1401
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1403
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1404
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1406
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1407
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1408
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1410
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1411
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1412
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1414
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1415
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1416
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1418
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1419
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1420
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1421
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1423
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1424
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1425
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1426
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1428
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1429
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1430
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1431
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1432
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1433
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1434
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1435
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1441
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1442
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1444
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1445
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1446
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1447
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1448
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1450
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1451
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1453
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1454
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1456
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1457
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1459
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1460
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1462
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1463
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1464
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1467
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1468
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1469
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1470
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1471
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1474
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1475
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1476
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1478
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1479
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1482
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1483
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1484
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1487
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1488
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1489
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1490
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1491
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1493
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1494
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1495
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1496
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1498
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1499
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1501
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1502
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1503
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1504
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1505
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1506
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1508
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1509
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1511
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1512
help. (Robert Collins)
1514
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1515
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1517
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1518
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1519
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1520
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1521
(John Arbash Meinel)
1523
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1524
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1525
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1526
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1527
useful. (Robert Collins)
1529
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1534
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1535
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1537
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1538
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1540
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1541
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1542
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1544
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1547
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1548
the file, and does it faster.
1549
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1551
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1552
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1553
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1555
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1556
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1557
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1558
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1560
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1561
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1562
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1563
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1565
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1566
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1568
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1569
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1570
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1571
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1574
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1576
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1577
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1579
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1580
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1582
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1583
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1584
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1585
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1589
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1594
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1595
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1596
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1598
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1599
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1601
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1602
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1603
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1604
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1605
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1606
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1607
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1608
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1610
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1611
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1612
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1614
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1615
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1616
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1617
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1618
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1620
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1622
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1623
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1624
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1626
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1627
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1635
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1638
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1639
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1642
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1643
=======================
1647
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1648
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1653
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1654
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1655
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1656
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1657
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1658
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1659
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1660
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1665
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1666
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1667
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1669
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1670
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1673
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1674
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1675
(John Arbash Meinel)
1677
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1678
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1679
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1680
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1681
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1685
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1688
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1689
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1691
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1692
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1694
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1695
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1696
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1698
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1699
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1701
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1702
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1703
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1704
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1705
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1707
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1708
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1709
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1711
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1714
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1715
=======================
1717
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1719
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1720
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1721
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1725
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1726
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1728
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1729
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1731
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1733
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1734
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1736
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1737
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1741
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1746
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1747
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1748
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1749
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1751
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1752
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1754
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1755
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1757
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1760
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1761
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1764
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1765
=======================
1769
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1770
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1771
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1772
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1773
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1774
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1776
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1777
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1778
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1779
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1780
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1781
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1783
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1785
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1786
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1787
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1788
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1789
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1790
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1791
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1792
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1796
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1797
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1799
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1800
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1801
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1802
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1804
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1805
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1806
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1807
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1808
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1810
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1813
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1816
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1819
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1820
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1823
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1826
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1827
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1829
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1830
directory. (Martin Pool)
1832
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1833
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1834
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1835
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1837
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1838
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1839
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1840
in docs/configuration.txt.
1842
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1843
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1846
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1847
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1848
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1849
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1850
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1851
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1853
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1854
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1856
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1857
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1859
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1864
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1865
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1866
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1867
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1868
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1869
(John Arbash Meinel)
1871
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1872
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1875
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1876
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1877
(John Arbash Meinel)
1879
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1880
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1881
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1882
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1883
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1884
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1886
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1887
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1888
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1890
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1891
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1892
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1893
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1895
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1897
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1898
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1899
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1900
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1902
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1903
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1904
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1905
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1907
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1908
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1909
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1911
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1912
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1913
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1915
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1916
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1917
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1918
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1920
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1921
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1922
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1924
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1925
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1926
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1928
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1929
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1930
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1931
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1932
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1933
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1934
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1935
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1936
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1937
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1938
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1942
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1943
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1944
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1946
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1949
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1950
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1951
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1952
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1954
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1955
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1958
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1959
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1961
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1963
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1964
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1965
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1967
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1968
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1970
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1973
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1974
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1976
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1977
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1979
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1981
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1982
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1986
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1987
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1991
====================
1995
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1999
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2000
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2001
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2003
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2004
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2005
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2008
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2009
=======================
2013
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2014
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2015
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2016
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2018
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2021
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2022
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2023
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2025
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2026
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2028
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2031
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2032
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2033
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2034
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2035
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2036
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2038
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2039
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2040
should enable you to do::
2042
[/home/user/project]
2043
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2044
push_location:policy = appendpath
2046
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2047
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2050
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2051
for each file. For example::
2053
$ bzr status --short
2059
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2060
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2062
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2064
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2065
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2067
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2071
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2072
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2073
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2074
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2076
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2077
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2078
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2080
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2082
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2083
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2084
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2085
(Alexander Belchenko)
2087
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2090
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2091
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2093
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2097
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2098
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2100
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2101
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2102
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2103
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2104
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2106
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2107
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2109
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2110
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2112
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2114
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2116
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2117
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2118
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2119
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2120
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2122
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2123
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2124
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2125
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2127
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2128
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2130
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2131
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2133
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2134
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2136
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2137
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
2141
====================
2143
No changes from 0.13rc1
2145
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2146
=======================
2150
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2152
(Daniel Silverstone)
2154
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2155
operations are substantially faster.
2156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2158
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2159
tree from some other url. For example:
2160
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2161
(Daniel Silverstone)
2163
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2164
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2165
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2166
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2168
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2171
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2172
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2173
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2174
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2175
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2176
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2180
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2181
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2184
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2185
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2186
(John Arbash Meinel)
2188
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2189
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2190
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2191
(John Arbash Meinel)
2193
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2194
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2196
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2197
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2199
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2200
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2205
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2206
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2207
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2209
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2210
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2211
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2212
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2214
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2216
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2217
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2219
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2220
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2221
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2224
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2225
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2226
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2228
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2229
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2230
them as full references rather than integers.
2231
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2233
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2234
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2236
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2238
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2239
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2241
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2242
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2244
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2245
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2246
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2247
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2249
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2250
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2251
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2253
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2254
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2256
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2257
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2258
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2259
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2260
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2264
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2265
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2268
====================
2272
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2273
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2274
(John Arbash Meinel)
2276
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2277
=======================
2281
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2282
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2283
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2284
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2286
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2287
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2289
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2291
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2292
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2293
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2294
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2296
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2297
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2298
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2299
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2300
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2302
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2304
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2305
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2309
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2310
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2311
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2313
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2314
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2315
(John Arbash Meinel)
2317
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2318
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2319
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2321
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2322
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2325
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2326
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2327
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2329
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2330
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2331
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2332
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2333
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2334
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2336
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2337
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2338
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2341
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2342
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2346
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2347
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2348
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2351
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2352
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2354
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2355
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2356
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2358
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2359
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2361
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2362
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2363
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2364
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2366
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2367
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2369
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2370
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2371
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2373
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2374
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2376
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2378
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2379
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2384
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2385
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2386
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2387
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2389
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2390
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2391
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2394
====================
2396
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2398
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2399
=======================
2403
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2405
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2408
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2409
=======================
2413
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2414
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2415
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2416
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2417
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2418
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2419
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2421
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2422
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2423
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2425
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2427
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2428
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2430
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2431
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2432
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2435
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2436
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2437
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2438
(John Arbash Meinel)
2440
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2441
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2442
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2443
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2446
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2447
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2448
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2449
(John Arbash Meinel)
2453
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2454
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2456
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2458
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2459
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2460
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2462
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2463
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2465
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2466
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2468
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2471
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2472
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2474
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2476
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2477
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2479
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2480
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2482
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2483
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2485
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2486
(John Arbash Meinel)
2488
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2489
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2490
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2492
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2493
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2495
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2496
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2497
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2498
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2500
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2501
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2502
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2504
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2505
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2509
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2513
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2514
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2515
(John Arbash Meinel)
2517
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2518
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2519
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2520
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2522
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2525
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2526
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2527
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2529
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2530
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2532
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2533
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2534
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2536
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2537
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2538
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2539
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2540
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2541
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2542
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2543
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2544
caller to repeat their request.
2545
(John Arbash Meinel)
2547
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2548
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2550
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2551
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2553
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2554
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2555
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2556
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2557
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2558
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2559
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2561
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2562
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2563
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2564
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2565
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2566
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2567
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2568
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2571
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2572
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2573
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2575
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2576
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2578
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2579
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2581
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2582
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2586
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2587
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2589
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2590
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2591
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2593
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2594
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2595
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2598
====================
2601
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2602
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2604
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2605
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2606
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2607
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2608
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2610
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2611
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2612
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2614
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2615
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2617
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2618
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2619
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2623
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2625
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2626
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2627
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2629
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2631
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2633
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2634
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2635
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2636
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2638
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2639
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2640
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2641
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2642
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2644
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2645
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2647
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2648
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2650
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2651
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2653
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2654
in handling of revision properties.
2655
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2657
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2658
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2662
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2663
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2664
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2665
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2666
(John Arbash Meinel)
2668
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2669
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2670
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2672
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2673
=====================
2677
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2678
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2679
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2680
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2681
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2682
a more conservative list than the old default.
2683
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2684
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2685
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2686
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2688
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2689
to more locations than just branch locations.
2694
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2695
revno:N:branch. For example,
2696
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2697
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2699
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2700
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2701
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2702
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2703
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2704
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2705
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2706
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2709
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2710
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2711
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2714
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2715
(Alexander Belchenko)
2717
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2719
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2722
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2723
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2724
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2725
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2726
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2727
(John Arbash Meinel)
2729
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2730
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2731
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2732
grained analysis of performance.
2733
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2735
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2736
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2738
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2739
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2740
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2741
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2742
file. (Robert Collins).
2744
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2745
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2746
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2748
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2749
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2752
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2753
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2755
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2756
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2757
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2758
the same way you would apply another branch.
2759
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2761
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2762
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2764
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2767
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2770
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2771
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2772
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2774
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2775
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2776
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2778
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2779
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2781
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2782
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2783
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2784
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2785
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2787
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2788
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2790
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2791
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2792
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2793
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2794
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2795
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2796
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2797
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2799
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2800
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2801
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2805
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2807
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2809
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2810
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2812
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2813
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2815
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2816
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2818
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2820
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2821
(John Arbash Meinel)
2823
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2824
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2826
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2827
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2830
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2831
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2833
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2834
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2836
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2837
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2838
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2839
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2841
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2842
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2844
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2846
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2847
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2849
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2851
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2853
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2854
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2856
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2857
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2859
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2860
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2861
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2863
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2864
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2865
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2867
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2868
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2870
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2871
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2873
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2874
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2876
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2877
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2879
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2880
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2882
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2883
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2884
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2886
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2888
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2889
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2893
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2894
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2895
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2897
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2898
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2900
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2901
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2902
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2904
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2905
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2907
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2908
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2911
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2912
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2913
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2915
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2916
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2917
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2919
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2920
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2921
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2923
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2924
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2925
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2927
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2928
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2929
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2931
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2932
instead. (Robert Collins)
2934
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2936
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2937
=====================
2941
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2943
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2944
=====================
2948
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2949
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2951
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2952
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2954
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2955
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2956
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2960
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2962
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2963
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2965
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2969
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2970
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2971
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2972
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2976
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2977
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2978
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2982
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2983
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2984
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2988
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2989
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2994
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2996
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2997
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2998
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2999
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3000
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3001
will keep the same format.
3003
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3004
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3005
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3006
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3007
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3009
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3010
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3011
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3012
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3013
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3014
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3015
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3017
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3018
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3019
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3020
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3021
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3023
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3024
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3025
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3031
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3032
convention. Paths now take the form::
3034
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3036
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3038
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3039
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3041
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3042
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3043
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3045
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3046
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3047
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3048
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3050
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3051
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3052
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3054
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3056
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3058
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3059
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3062
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3063
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3066
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3068
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3069
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3070
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3073
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3075
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3077
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3080
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3081
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3083
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3084
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3087
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3088
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3091
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3093
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3095
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3096
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3098
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3099
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3100
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3101
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3102
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3103
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3105
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3107
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3108
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3111
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3112
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3114
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3115
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3117
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3119
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3120
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3121
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3122
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3123
specification by Martin Pool.
3124
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3126
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3129
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3130
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3132
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3133
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3134
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3136
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3138
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3139
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3144
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3145
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3147
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3149
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3151
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3154
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3155
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3156
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3157
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3161
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3162
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3163
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3164
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3166
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3167
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3168
tried. (Martin Pool)
3170
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3173
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3175
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3176
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3177
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3179
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3180
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3182
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3183
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3184
paths. (Robert Collins)
3186
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3187
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3188
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3190
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3191
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3192
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3194
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3195
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3196
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3198
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3201
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3204
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3206
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3208
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3209
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3210
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3213
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3214
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3216
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3217
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3218
check. (Robert Collins)
3220
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3221
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3225
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3226
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3228
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3229
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3230
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3231
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3233
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3234
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3235
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3236
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3237
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3239
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3240
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3241
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3243
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3245
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3246
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3253
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3254
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3256
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3257
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3258
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3261
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3262
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3264
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3265
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3266
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3267
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3268
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3270
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3271
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3272
used. (Robert Collins)
3274
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3275
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3278
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3279
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3280
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3282
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3285
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3286
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3290
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3291
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3293
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3295
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3297
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3298
tree. (Robert Collins)
3300
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3301
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3302
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3305
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3308
* Tweaks to short log printing
3310
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3313
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3314
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3316
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3317
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3319
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3320
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3322
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3323
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3324
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3326
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3327
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3329
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3330
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3333
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3334
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3336
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3337
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3339
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3340
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3342
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3345
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3346
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3348
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3349
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3351
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3352
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3353
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3357
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3359
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3361
* Error when run with -OO
3363
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3366
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3368
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3370
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3371
ignored by diff and status
3373
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3374
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3376
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3378
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3380
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3381
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3383
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3384
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3386
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3389
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3390
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3392
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3394
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3395
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3397
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3400
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3401
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3403
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3407
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3408
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3410
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3412
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3414
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3416
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3417
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3418
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3420
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3422
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3423
(John Arbash Meinel)
3425
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3427
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3428
If adding a new test script please add that to
3429
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3431
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3432
imported. (Martin Pool)
3434
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3435
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3436
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3437
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3438
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3441
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3442
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3443
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3445
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3446
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3447
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3449
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3450
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3451
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3452
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3453
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3456
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3457
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3462
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3463
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3465
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3466
function. (Robert Collins)
3468
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3469
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3470
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3472
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3473
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3476
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3477
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3478
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3479
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3480
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3481
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3482
version. (Robert Collins)
3484
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3485
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3487
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3488
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3489
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3490
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3491
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3492
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3494
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3497
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3507
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3509
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3511
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3514
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3515
query method. (Robert Collins)
3517
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3520
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3523
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3526
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3527
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3528
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3529
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3531
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3532
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3533
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3534
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3536
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3537
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3544
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3547
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3551
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3552
a separator, not ':'.
3555
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3556
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3557
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3559
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3560
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3563
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3564
has been added that suppresses all output.
3566
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3569
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3570
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3572
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3573
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3575
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3576
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3578
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3579
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3580
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3581
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3583
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3585
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3586
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3588
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3589
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3591
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3592
output directory, if one was supplied.
3594
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3595
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3596
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3597
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3599
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3601
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3602
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3604
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3605
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3606
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3608
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3609
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3611
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3614
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3616
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3620
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3621
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3622
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3624
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3625
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3626
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3628
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3629
is given. (Martin Pool)
3631
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3632
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3633
file. (Robert Collins)
3635
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3640
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3641
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3642
representation. (Martin Pool).
3644
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3645
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3646
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3648
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3651
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3652
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3655
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3656
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3657
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3658
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3659
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3661
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3662
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3663
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3664
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3665
python path. (Robert Collins)
3667
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3668
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3669
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3670
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3672
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3673
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3675
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3676
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3679
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3680
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3681
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3683
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3684
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3685
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3687
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3688
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3690
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3691
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3692
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3695
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3696
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3697
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3698
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3701
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3704
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3705
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3708
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3709
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3710
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3712
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3713
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3714
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3716
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3717
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3718
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3720
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3721
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3723
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3724
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3725
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3726
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3727
caller. (Robert Collins)
3729
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3730
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3733
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3734
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3737
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3739
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3740
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3744
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3745
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3747
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3748
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3751
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3752
====================
3756
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3757
allow directories to be listed.
3759
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3760
upgrading branch format.
3764
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3772
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3773
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3774
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3775
high-latency connections.
3779
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3782
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3783
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3785
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3786
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3787
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3788
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3790
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3791
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3793
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3794
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3796
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3797
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3798
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3800
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3801
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3802
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3805
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3806
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3808
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3809
different partial views of history.
3811
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3812
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3816
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3817
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3818
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3820
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3821
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3824
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3825
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3827
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3830
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3831
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3833
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3834
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3835
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3836
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3838
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3840
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3841
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3844
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3845
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3847
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3848
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3849
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3854
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3855
for your viewing pleasure.
3857
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3858
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3860
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3861
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3862
handling of such circumstances.
3864
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3865
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3866
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3868
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3870
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3871
we call them revisions not patches.
3873
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3874
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3876
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3877
giving the revision *of that file*.
3879
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3880
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3881
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3885
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3886
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3888
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3889
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3892
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3893
====================
3897
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3899
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3902
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3904
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3906
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3907
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3911
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3912
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3914
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3915
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3916
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3917
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3920
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3921
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3925
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3927
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3928
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3931
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3932
====================
3936
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3937
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3938
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3939
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3942
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3945
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3946
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3947
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3948
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3949
for the operating system is still tried.
3951
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3952
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3953
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3958
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3962
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3964
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3967
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3973
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3975
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3978
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3979
====================
3983
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3984
help with intelligent shell completion.
3986
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3991
* Much better merge support.
3993
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3994
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4000
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4001
mention revisions that are not present.
4003
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4005
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4007
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4008
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4013
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4015
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4016
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4022
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4023
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4028
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4029
====================
4033
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4034
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4036
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4038
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4039
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4041
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4044
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4046
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4049
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4050
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4052
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4053
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4054
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4059
* Faster working tree operations.
4064
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4065
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4066
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4067
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4069
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4070
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4071
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4072
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4073
standard plugins directory.
4075
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4076
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4077
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4078
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4080
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4081
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4083
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4086
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4087
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4088
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4090
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4091
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4093
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4094
line options must come before the command name because they
4095
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4096
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4099
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4101
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4102
is available with ``--short``.
4107
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4110
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4111
=====================
4115
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4116
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4118
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4119
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4120
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4121
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4123
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4124
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4125
with the ``--forward`` option.
4127
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4128
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4134
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4135
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4137
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4139
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4140
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4142
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4144
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4145
either read or write mode.
4147
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4149
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4152
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4154
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4155
suggested by LarstiQ.
4157
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4158
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4160
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4163
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4164
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4166
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4167
haven't changed since the previous time.
4169
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4170
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4172
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4174
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4176
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4177
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4179
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4180
options through to an external GNU diff.
4182
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4185
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4191
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4192
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4194
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4200
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4201
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4204
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4205
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4207
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4208
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4210
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4211
under a different version.
4213
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4218
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4220
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4221
Scott James Remnant.
4223
* Better help messages for many commands.
4225
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4226
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4228
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4229
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4231
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4233
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4235
* New AtomicFile class.
4237
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4242
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4243
2.4 is now only recommended.
4246
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4247
=====================
4251
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4252
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4254
* More default ignore patterns.
4256
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4257
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4259
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4261
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4264
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4269
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4270
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4271
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4272
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4273
there are DNS problems.
4275
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4280
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4282
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4284
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4285
trailing newlines properly.
4290
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4293
* More tests in test.sh.
4295
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4296
directory and delete it when done.
4298
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4303
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4306
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4310
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4311
=====================
4315
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4318
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4320
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4323
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4326
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4328
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4332
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4333
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4338
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4339
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4344
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4348
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4356
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4359
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4360
===================================
4364
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4366
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4367
rather than replacing it.
4369
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4373
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4376
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4377
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4379
* Performance improvements.
4381
* New global --profile option.
4383
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4384
the root directory only.
4387
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4388
=====================
4392
* More information from info command.
4394
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4396
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4397
committing to stores.
4399
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4403
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4407
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4408
installation easier.
4410
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4414
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
4415
========================
4419
* First public release.
4421
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
