NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
34
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
35
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
36
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
37
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
38
for further details. (Robert Collins)
39
40
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
41
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
42
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
43
(Robert Collins)
44
45
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
46
47
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
48
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
49
50
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
51
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
52
(Aaron Bentley)
53
54
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
55
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
56
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
57
58
PERFORMANCE:
59
60
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
61
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
62
63
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
64
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
65
66
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
67
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
68
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
69
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
70
71
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
72
(Robert Collins)
73
74
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
75
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
76
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
77
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
78
79
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
80
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
81
82
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
83
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
84
85
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
86
the contents. (Robert Collins)
87
88
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
89
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
90
91
IMPROVEMENTS:
92
93
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
94
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
95
96
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
97
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
98
99
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
100
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
101
102
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
103
(Martin Pool, #63894)
104
105
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
106
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
107
108
DOCUMENTATION:
109
110
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
111
112
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
113
(Ian Clatworthy)
114
115
BUG FIXES:
116
117
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
118
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
119
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
120
121
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
122
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
123
124
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
125
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
126
127
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
128
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
129
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
130
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
131
132
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
133
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
134
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
135
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
136
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
137
138
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
139
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
140
paramiko.
141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
142
143
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
144
145
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
146
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
147
148
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
150
151
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
153
154
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
155
contains a symbolic link.
156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
157
158
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
159
(James Westby, #140615)
160
161
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
162
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
163
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
164
165
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
166
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
167
(Martin Pool, #144633)
168
169
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
170
171
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
173
174
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
175
will remain opened.
176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
177
178
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
179
directory to detect leaking tests.
180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
181
182
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
183
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
184
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
185
186
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
187
(Rob Weir, #141629)
188
189
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
190
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
191
192
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
193
Merwe)
194
195
API BREAKS:
196
197
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
198
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
201
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
202
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
203
204
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
205
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
206
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
207
208
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
209
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
210
211
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
212
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
213
214
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
215
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
216
(Martin Pool)
217
218
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
219
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
220
221
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
222
class that needs it.
223
(Martin Pool)
224
225
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
226
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
227
228
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
229
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
230
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
231
232
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
233
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
234
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
235
(Robert Collins)
236
237
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
238
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
239
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
240
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
241
(Robert Collins)
242
243
INTERNALS:
244
245
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
246
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
247
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
248
249
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
250
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
251
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
252
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
253
254
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
255
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
256
(Robert Collins)
257
258
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
259
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
260
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
261
262
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
263
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
264
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
265
266
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
267
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
268
269
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
270
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
271
to complete. (Robert Collins)
272
273
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
274
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
275
276
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
277
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
278
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
279
280
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
281
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
282
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
283
284
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
285
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
286
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
287
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
288
289
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
290
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
291
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
292
returned. (Robert Collins)
293
294
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
295
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
296
297
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
298
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
299
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
300
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
301
(Robert Collins)
302
303
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
304
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
305
306
TESTING:
307
308
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
309
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
310
311
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
312
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
313
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
314
makes this behavior available to other users.
315
(Martin Pool)
316
317
318
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
319
===================
320
321
BUG FIXES:
322
323
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
324
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
325
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
326
327
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
328
329
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
330
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
331
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
332
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
333
334
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
335
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
336
(Andrew Bennetts)
337
338
339
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
340
======================
341
342
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
343
in bzrlib/remote.py.
344
345
346
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
347
======================
348
349
CHANGES:
350
351
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
352
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
353
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
354
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
355
(Martin Pool)
356
357
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
358
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
359
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
360
(Ian Clatworthy)
361
362
FEATURES:
363
364
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
365
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
366
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
367
(Lukáš Lalinský)
368
369
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
370
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
371
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
372
373
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
374
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
375
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
376
377
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
378
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
379
380
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
381
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
382
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
383
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
384
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
385
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
386
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
387
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
388
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
389
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
390
391
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
392
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
393
394
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
395
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
396
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
397
398
BUG FIXES:
399
400
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
401
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
402
403
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
404
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
405
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
406
407
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
408
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
409
410
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
411
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
412
413
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
414
(Aaron Bentley)
415
416
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
417
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
418
419
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
420
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
421
422
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
423
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
424
425
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
426
(Blake Winton, #129299)
427
428
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
429
430
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
431
Watkins, #106726)
432
433
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
434
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
435
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
436
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
437
438
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
439
440
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
441
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
442
#133548)
443
444
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
445
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
446
447
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
448
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
449
#116143)
450
451
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
452
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
453
454
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
455
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
456
457
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
458
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
459
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
460
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
461
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
462
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
463
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
464
465
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
466
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
467
468
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
469
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
470
471
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
472
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
473
474
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
476
477
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
478
connections.
479
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
480
481
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
482
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
483
484
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
485
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
486
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
487
488
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
489
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
490
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
491
492
IMPROVEMENTS:
493
494
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
495
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
496
497
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
498
(Aaron Bentley)
499
500
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
501
(Aaron Bentley)
502
503
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
504
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
505
506
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
507
508
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
509
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
510
511
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
512
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
513
514
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
515
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
516
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
517
space). (Robert Collins)
518
519
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
520
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
521
(Ian Clatworthy)
522
523
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
524
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
525
526
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
527
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
528
529
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
530
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
531
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
532
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
533
534
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
535
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
536
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
537
(Lukáš Lalinský)
538
539
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
540
(Ian Clatworthy)
541
542
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
543
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
544
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
545
546
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
547
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
548
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
549
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
550
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
551
552
API BREAKS:
553
554
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
555
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
556
557
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
558
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
559
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
560
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
561
affected. (Robert Collins)
562
563
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
564
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
565
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
566
(Robert Collins)
567
568
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
569
previous release. (Martin Pool)
570
571
TESTING:
572
573
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
574
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
575
576
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
577
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
578
579
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
580
previous release. (Martin Pool)
581
582
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
583
(Aaron Bentley)
584
585
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
586
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
587
588
INTERNALS:
589
590
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
591
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
592
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
593
its version information. (Robert Collins)
594
595
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
596
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
597
598
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
599
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
600
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
601
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
602
603
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
604
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
605
present. (Robert Collins)
606
607
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
608
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
609
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
610
API. (Robert Collins)
611
612
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
613
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
614
(Robert Collins)
615
616
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
617
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
618
619
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
620
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
621
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
622
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
623
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
624
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
625
626
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
627
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
628
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
629
630
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
631
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
632
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
633
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
634
protocol.
635
636
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
637
(Aaron Bentley)
638
639
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
640
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
641
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
642
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
643
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
644
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
645
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
646
647
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
648
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
649
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
650
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
651
652
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
653
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
654
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
655
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
656
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
657
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
658
659
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
660
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
661
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
662
663
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
664
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
665
666
667
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
668
===================
669
670
IMPROVEMENTS:
671
672
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
673
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
674
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
675
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
676
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
677
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
678
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
679
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
680
681
682
API CHANGES:
683
684
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
685
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
686
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
687
688
689
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
690
======================
691
692
BUGFIXES:
693
694
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
695
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
696
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
697
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
698
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
699
700
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
701
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
702
703
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
704
anymore.
705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
706
707
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
708
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
709
(Vincent Ladeuil)
710
711
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
712
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
713
#111664)
714
715
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
716
(Lukáš Lalinský)
717
718
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
719
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
720
721
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
722
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
723
724
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
725
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
726
727
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
728
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
729
730
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
731
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
732
733
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
734
(Aaron Bentley)
735
736
IMPROVEMENTS:
737
738
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
739
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
740
741
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
742
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
743
744
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
745
the repository (Robert Collins)
746
747
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
748
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
749
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
750
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
751
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
752
753
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
754
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
755
756
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
757
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
758
(John Arbash Meinel)
759
760
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
761
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
762
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
763
about 10%).
764
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
765
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
766
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
767
(John Arbash Meinel)
768
769
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
770
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
771
(Robert Collins)
772
773
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
774
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
775
776
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
777
(Ian Clatworthy)
778
779
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
780
781
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
782
783
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
784
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
785
786
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
787
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
788
Meinel)
789
790
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
791
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
792
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
793
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
794
795
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
796
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
797
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
798
799
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
800
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
801
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
802
803
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
804
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
805
806
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
807
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
808
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
809
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
810
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
811
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
812
(Ian Clatworthy)
813
814
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
815
(Alexander Belchenko)
816
817
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
818
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
819
820
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
821
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
822
823
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
824
825
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
826
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
827
828
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
829
830
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
831
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
832
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
833
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
834
835
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
836
837
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
838
(Robert Collins)
839
840
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
841
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
842
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
843
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
844
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
845
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
846
847
INTERNALS:
848
849
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
850
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
851
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
852
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
853
854
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
855
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
856
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
857
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
858
tests have been refactored too.
859
(Vincent Ladeuil)
860
861
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
862
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
863
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
864
list, it will.
865
(Vincent Ladeuil)
866
867
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
868
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
869
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
870
871
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
872
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
873
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
874
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
875
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
876
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
877
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
878
879
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
880
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
881
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
882
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
883
(John Arbash Meinel)
884
885
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
886
functionality for testing.
887
888
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
889
890
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
891
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
892
893
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
894
895
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
896
(Robert Collins)
897
898
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
899
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
900
901
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
902
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
903
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
904
905
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
906
(Aaron Bentley)
907
908
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
909
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
910
911
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
912
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
913
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
914
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
915
916
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
917
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
918
919
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
920
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
921
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
922
923
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
924
(Marius Kruger)
925
926
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
927
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
928
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
929
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
930
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
931
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
932
933
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
934
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
935
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
936
many files. (Robert Collins)
937
938
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
939
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
940
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
941
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
942
943
TESTING:
944
945
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
946
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
947
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
948
949
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
950
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
951
952
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
953
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
954
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
966
=======================
967
968
BUGFIXES:
969
970
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
971
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
972
973
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
974
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
975
(James Westby, #122656)
976
977
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
978
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
979
980
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
981
authentication header.
982
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
983
984
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
985
986
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
987
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
988
989
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
990
991
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
992
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
993
994
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
995
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
996
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
997
998
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
999
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1000
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1001
1002
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1003
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1004
1005
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1007
1008
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1009
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1010
1011
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1012
1013
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1014
1015
IMPROVEMENTS:
1016
1017
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1018
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1019
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1020
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1021
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1022
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1023
1024
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1025
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1026
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1027
1028
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1029
(Elliot Murphy)
1030
1031
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1032
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1033
1034
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1035
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1036
1037
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1038
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1039
1040
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1041
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1042
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1043
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1044
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1045
1046
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1047
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1048
1049
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1050
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1051
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1052
1053
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1054
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1055
1056
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1057
1058
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1059
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1060
1061
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1062
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1063
(Robert Collins)
1064
1065
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1066
(Martin Pool)
1067
1068
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1069
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1070
1071
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1072
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1073
1074
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1075
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1076
1077
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1078
1079
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1080
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1081
1082
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1083
(Andrew Bennetts)
1084
1085
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1086
1087
* Testing cleanups -
1088
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1089
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1090
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1091
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1092
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1093
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1094
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1095
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1096
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1097
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1098
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1099
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1100
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1101
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1102
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1103
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1104
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1105
(Robert Collins)
1106
1107
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1108
1109
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1110
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1111
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1112
1113
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1114
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1115
1116
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1117
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1118
1119
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1120
1121
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1122
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1123
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1124
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1125
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1126
same location. (Robert Collins)
1127
1128
INTERNALS:
1129
1130
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1131
1132
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1133
1134
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1135
1136
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1137
(Martin Pool)
1138
1139
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1140
(Martin Pool)
1141
1142
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1143
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1144
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1145
1146
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1147
1148
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1149
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1150
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1151
1152
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1153
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1154
1155
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1156
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1157
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1158
1159
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1160
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1161
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1162
1163
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1164
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1165
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1166
1167
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1168
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1169
Martin Pool)
1170
1171
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1172
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1173
1174
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1175
(Alexander Belchenko)
1176
1177
TESTING:
1178
1179
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1180
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1181
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1182
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1183
1184
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1185
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1186
testing. (Robert Collins)
1187
1188
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1189
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1190
1191
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1192
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1193
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1194
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1195
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1196
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1197
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1198
1199
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1200
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1201
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1202
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1203
1204
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1205
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1206
1207
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1208
avoid useless cloning.

1227
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1228
1229
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1230
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1231
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1232
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1233
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1234
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1235
and unlock() like so::
1236
1237
work_tree.lock_read()
1238
try:
1239
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1240
finally:
1241
work_tree.unlock()
1242
1243
INTERNALS:
1244
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1245
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1246
object.
1247
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1248
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1249
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1250
1251
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1252
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1253
too. (Robert Collins)
1254
1255
IMPROVEMENTS:
1256
1257
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1258
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1259
Aaron Bentley)
1260
1261
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1262
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1263
1264
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1265
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1266
1267
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1268
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1269
understanding what changes have occurred
1270
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1271
1272
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1273
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1274
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1275
1276
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1277
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1278
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1279
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1280
1281
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1282
#56322)
1283
1284
BUGFIXES:
1285
1286
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1287
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1288
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1289
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1290
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1291
1292
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1293
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1294
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1295
1296
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1298
1299
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1300
into account.
1301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1302
1303
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1304
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1305
1306
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1307
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1308
1309
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1310
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1311
1312
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1313
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1314
1315
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1316
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1317
1318
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1319
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1320
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1325
BUGFIXES:
1326
1327
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1328
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1329
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1330
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1331
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1332
1333
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1334
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1335
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1336
1337
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1338
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1339
1340
IMPROVEMENTS:
1341
1342
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1343
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1344
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1345
1346
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1347
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1348
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1349
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1356
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1357
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1358
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1359
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1360
1361
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1362
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1363
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1370
1371
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1378
1379
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1380
it could be recovered again.
1381
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1382
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1383
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1384
but not delete it.
1385
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1386
files.
1387
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1388

IMPROVEMENTS:
1391
1392
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1393
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1394
1395
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1396
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1397
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1398
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1399
1400
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1401
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1402
1403
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1404
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1405
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1406
1407
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1408
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1409
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1410
1411
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1412
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1413
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1414
1415
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1416
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1417
Robert Collins)
1418
1419
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1420
Pool)
1421
1422
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1423
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1424
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1425
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1426
1427
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1428
(Robert Collins)
1429
1430
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1431
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1432
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1433
(Robert Collins)
1434
1435
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1436
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1437
1438
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1439
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1440
1441
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1442
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1443
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1444
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1445
(Robert Collins)
1446
1447
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1448
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1449
1450
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1451
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1452
1453
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1454
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1455
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1456
1457
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1458
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1459
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1460
1461
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1462
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1463
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1464
1465
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1466
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1467
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1468
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1469
1470
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1471
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1472
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1473
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1474
1475
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1476
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1477
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1478
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1479
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1480
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1481
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1482
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1483
header(s).
1484
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1485
1486
INTERNALS:
1487
1488
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1489
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1490
1491
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1492
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1493
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1494
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1495
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1496
1497
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1498
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1499
1500
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1501
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1502
1503
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1504
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1505
1506
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1507
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1508
1509
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1510
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1511
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1512
(Robert Collins).
1513
1514
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1515
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1516
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1517
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1518
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1519
(Robert Collins)
1520
1521
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1522
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1523
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1524
1525
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1526
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1527
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1528
1529
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1530
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1531
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1532
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1533
1534
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1535
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1536
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1537
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1538
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1539
1540
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1541
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1542
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1543
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1544
1545
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1546
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1547
1548
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1549
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1550
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1551
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1552
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1553
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1554
1555
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1556
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1559
help. (Robert Collins)
1560
1561
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1562
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1563
1564
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1565
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1566
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1567
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1568
(John Arbash Meinel)
1569
1570
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1571
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1572
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1573
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1574
useful. (Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1577
(Andrew Bennetts)
1578
1579
BUGFIXES:
1580
1581
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1582
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1583
1584
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1585
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1586
1587
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1588
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1589
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1590
1591
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1592
(Aaron Bentley)
1593
1594
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1595
the file, and does it faster.
1596
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1597
1598
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1599
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1600
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1601
1602
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1603
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1604
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1605
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1606
1607
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1608
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1609
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1610
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1611
1612
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1613
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1614
1615
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1616
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1617
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1618
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1619
Arbash Meinel)
1620
1621
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1622
1623
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1624
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1625
1626
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1627
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1628
1629
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1630
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1631
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1632
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1633
security hole.
1634
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1635
1636
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1638
1639
TESTING:
1640
1641
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1642
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1643
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1644
1645
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1646
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1647
1648
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1649
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1650
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1651
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1652
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1653
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1654
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1655
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1656
1657
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1658
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1659
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1660
1661
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1662
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1663
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1664
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1665
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1666
access.
1667
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1668
1669
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1670
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1671
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1672
1673
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1674
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

=======================
1691
1692
CHANGES:
1693
1694
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1695
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1696
(Martin Pool)
1697
1698
IMPROVEMENTS:
1699
1700
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1701
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1702
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1703
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1704
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1705
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1706
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1707
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1708
path. (vila)
1709
1710
INTERNALS:
1711
1712
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1713
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1714
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1715
1716
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1717
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1718
(Martin Pool)
1719
1720
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1721
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1722
(John Arbash Meinel)
1723
1724
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1725
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1726
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1727
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1728
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1729
1730
BUGFIXES:
1731
1732
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1733
(vila, #92195)
1734
1735
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1736
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1737
1738
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1739
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1740
1741
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1742
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1743
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1744
1745
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1746
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1747
1748
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1749
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1750
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1751
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1752
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1753
1754
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1755
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1756
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1757
1758
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1762
=======================
1763
1764
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1765
1766
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1767
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1768
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1769
1770
IMPROVEMENTS:
1771
1772
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1773
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1774
1775
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1776
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1777
1778
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1779
1780
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1781
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1782
1783
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1784
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1785
1786
INTERNALS:
1787
1788
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1789
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1790
1791
BUGFIXES:
1792
1793
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1794
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1795
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1796
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1797
1798
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1799
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1800
1801
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1802
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1803
1804
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1805
(Marien Zwart)
1806
1807
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1812
=======================
1813
1814
SURPRISES:
1815
1816
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1817
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1818
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1819
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1820
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1821
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1822
1823
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1824
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1825
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1826
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1827
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1828
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1829
development.
1830
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1831
1832
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1833
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1834
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1835
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1836
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1837
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1838
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1839
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1840
1841
IMPROVEMENTS:
1842
1843
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1844
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1845
1846
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1847
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1848
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1849
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1850
does exist.
1851
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1852
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1853
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1854
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1855
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1856
1857
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1858
(Aaron Bentley)
1859
1860
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1861
(Aaron Bentley)
1862
1863
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1864
(Robert Collins)
1865
1866
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1867
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1868
(Aaron Bentley)
1869
1870
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1871
(Aaron Bentley)
1872
1873
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1874
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1875
1876
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1877
directory. (Martin Pool)
1878
1879
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1880
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1881
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1882
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1883
1884
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1885
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1886
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1887
in docs/configuration.txt.
1888
1889
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1890
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1891
bind location.
1892
1893
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1894
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1895
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1896
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1897
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1898
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1899
1900
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1901
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1902
1903
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1904
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1905
1906
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1907
(Aaron Bentley)
1908
1909
INTERNALS:
1910
1911
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1912
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1913
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1914
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1915
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1916
(John Arbash Meinel)
1917
1918
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1919
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1920
(Aaron Bentley)
1921
1922
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1923
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1924
(John Arbash Meinel)
1925
1926
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1927
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1928
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1929
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1930
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1931
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1932
1933
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1934
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1935
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1936
1937
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1938
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1939
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1940
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1941
repository.
1942
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1943
1944
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1945
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1946
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1947
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1948
1949
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1950
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1951
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1952
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1953
1954
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1955
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1956
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1957
1958
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1959
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1960
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1961
1962
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1963
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1964
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1965
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1966
1967
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1968
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1969
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1970
1971
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1972
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1973
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1974
1975
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1976
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1977
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1978
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1979
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1980
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1981
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1982
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1983
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1984

1985
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1986
1987
BUGFIXES:
1988
1989
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1990
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1991
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1992
1993
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1994
(Aaron Bentley)
1995
1996
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1997
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1998
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1999
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2000
2001
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2002
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2003
#83954).
2004
2005
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2006
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2007
2008
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2009
2010
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2011
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2012
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2013
2014
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2015
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2016
2017
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2019
2020
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2022
2023
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2024
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2025
2026
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2027
2028
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2029
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2030
2031
TESTING:
2032
2033
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2034
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

====================
2039
2040
IMPROVEMENTS:
2041
2042
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2043
2044
BUG FIXES:
2045
2046
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2047
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2048
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2049
2050
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2051
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2052
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2054
2055
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2056
=======================
2057
2058
IMPROVEMENTS:
2059
2060
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2061
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2062
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2063
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2064
2065
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2066
(Marius Kruger)
2067
2068
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2069
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2070
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2071
2072
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2073
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2074
2075
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2076
(Aaron Bentley)
2077
2078
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2079
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2080
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2081
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2082
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2083
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2084
2085
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2086
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2087
should enable you to do::
2088
2089
[/home/user/project]
2090
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2091
push_location:policy = appendpath
2092
2093
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2094
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2095
(James Henstridge)
2096
2097
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2098
for each file. For example::
2099
2100
$ bzr status --short
2101
A foo
2102
A bar
2103
D baz
2104
? wooley
2105
2106
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2107
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2108
2109
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2110
2111
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2112
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2113
2114
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2115
2116
INTERNALS:
2117
2118
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2119
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2120
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2121
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2122
2123
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2124
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2125
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2126
2127
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2128
2129
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2130
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2131
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2132
(Alexander Belchenko)
2133
2134
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2135
Pool)
2136
2137
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2138
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2139
2140
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2141
2142
BUG FIXES:
2143
2144
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2145
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2146
2147
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2148
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2149
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2150
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2151
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2152
2153
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2154
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2155
2156
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2157
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2158
2159
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2160
matcher.
2161
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2162
2163
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2164
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2165
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2166
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2167
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2168
2169
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2170
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2171
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2172
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2173
2174
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2175
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2176
2177
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2178
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2179
2180
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2181
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2182
2183
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2196
2197
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2198
tree from a branch.
2199
(Daniel Silverstone)
2200
2201
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2202
operations are substantially faster.
2203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2204
2205
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2206
tree from some other url. For example:
2207
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2208
(Daniel Silverstone)
2209
2210
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2211
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2212
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2213
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2214
2215
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2216
(Andrew Bennetts)
2217
2218
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2219
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2220
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2221
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2222
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2223
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2224
2225
INTERNALS:
2226
2227
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2228
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2229
(Martin Pool)
2230
2231
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2232
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2233
(John Arbash Meinel)
2234
2235
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2236
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2237
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2238
(John Arbash Meinel)
2239
2240
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2241
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2242
2243
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2244
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2245
2246
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2247
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2248
Bennetts)
2249
2250
BUG FIXES:
2251
2252
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2253
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2254
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2255
2256
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2257
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2258
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2259
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2260
2261
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2262
2263
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2264
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2265
2266
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2267
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2268
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2270
2271
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2272
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2273
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2274
2275
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2276
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2277
them as full references rather than integers.
2278
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2279
2280
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2281
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2282
2283
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)

* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2286
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2287
2288
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2289
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2290
2291
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2292
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2293
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2294
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2295
2296
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2297
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2298
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2299
2300
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2301
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2302
2303
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2304
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2305
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2306
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2307
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2308
2309
TESTING:
2310
2311
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2312
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
2315
====================
2316
2317
INTERNALS:
2318
2319
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2320
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2321
(John Arbash Meinel)
2322
2323
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2324
=======================
2325
2326
IMPROVEMENTS:
2327
2328
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2329
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2330
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2331
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2332
2333
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2334
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2335
2336
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2337
2338
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2339
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2340
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2341
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2342
2343
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2344
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2345
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2346
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2347
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2348
2349
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2350
2351
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2352
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2353
2354
INTERNALS:
2355
2356
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2357
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2358
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2359
2360
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2361
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2362
(John Arbash Meinel)
2363
2364
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2365
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2366
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2367
2368
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2369
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2370
(Aaron Bentley)
2371
2372
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2373
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2374
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2375
2376
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2377
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2378
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2379
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2380
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2381
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2382
2383
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2384
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2385
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2386
(Robert Collins)
2387
2388
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2389
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2390
2391
BUG FIXES:
2392
2393
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2394
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2395
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2396
#63360, #66349)
2397
2398
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2399
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2400
2401
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2402
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2403
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2404
2405
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2406
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2407
2408
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2409
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2410
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2411
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2412
2413
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2414
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2415
2416
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2417
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2418
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2419
2420
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2421
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2422
2423
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2424
2425
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2426
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2427
#32054)
2428
2429
TESTING:
2430
2431
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2432
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2433
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2434
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2435
2436
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2437
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2438
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2439
2440
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

2450
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2451
2452
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2453
Arbash Meinel).
2454
2455
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2456
=======================
2457
2458
IMPROVEMENTS:
2459
2460
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2461
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2462
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2463
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2464
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2465
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2466
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2467
2468
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2469
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2470
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2471
2472
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2473
2474
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2475
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2476
2477
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2478
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2479
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2480
(Robert Collins)
2481
2482
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2483
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2484
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2485
(John Arbash Meinel)
2486
2487
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2488
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2489
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2490
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2491
Pool)
2492
2493
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2494
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2495
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2496
(John Arbash Meinel)
2497
2498
BUG FIXES:
2499
2500
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2501
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2502
2503
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2504
2505
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2506
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2507
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2508
2509
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2510
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2511
2512
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2513
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2514
2515
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2517
2518
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2519
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2520
2521
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2522
2523
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2524
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2525
2526
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2527
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2528
2529
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2530
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2531
2532
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2533
(John Arbash Meinel)
2534
2535
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2536
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2537
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2538
2539
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2540
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2541
2542
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2543
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2544
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2545
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2546
2547
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2548
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2549
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2550
2551
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2552
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2553
2554
PORTABILITY:
2555
2556
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2557
2558
INTERNALS:
2559
2560
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2561
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2562
(John Arbash Meinel)
2563
2564
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2565
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2566
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2567
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2568
2569
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2570
(Andrew Bennetts)
2571
2572
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2573
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2574
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2575
2576
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2577
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2578
2579
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2580
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2581
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2582
2583
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2584
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2585
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2586
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2587
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2588
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2589
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2590
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2591
caller to repeat their request.
2592
(John Arbash Meinel)
2593
2594
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2595
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2598
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2599
2600
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2601
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2602
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2603
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2604
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2605
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2606
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2607
2608
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2609
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2610
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2611
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2612
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2613
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2614
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2615
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2616
(Robert Collins)
2617
2618
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2619
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2620
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2621
2622
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2623
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2624
2625
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2626
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2627
2628
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2629
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2630
2631
TESTING:
2632
2633
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2634
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2635
2636
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2637
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2638
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2639
2640
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2641
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2642
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2643
2644
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2645
====================
2646
2647
IMPROVEMENTS:
2648
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2649
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2650
2651
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2652
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2653
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2654
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2655
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2656
2657
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2658
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2659
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2660
2661
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2662
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2663
2664
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2665
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2666
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2667
2668
BUG FIXES:
2669
2670
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2671
2672
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2673
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2674
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2675
2676
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2677
2678
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2679
2680
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2681
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2682
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2683
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2684
2685
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2686
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2687
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2688
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2689
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2690
2691
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2692
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2693
2694
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2695
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2696
2697
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2698
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2699
2700
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2701
in handling of revision properties.
2702
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2703
2704
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2705
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2706
2707
INTERNALS:
2708
2709
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2710
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2711
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2712
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2713
(John Arbash Meinel)
2714
2715
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which

need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2717
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2720
=====================
2721
2722
SURPRISES:
2723
2724
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2725
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2726
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2727
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2728
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2729
a more conservative list than the old default.
2730
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2731
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2732
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2733
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2734
2735
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2736
to more locations than just branch locations.
2737
(Aaron Bentley)
2738
2739
IMPROVEMENTS:
2740
2741
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2742
revno:N:branch. For example,
2743
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2744
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2745
2746
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2747
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2748
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2749
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2750
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2751
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2752
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2753
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2754
#42517, #42514)
2755
2756
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2757
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2758
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2759
(Malone #3507)
2760
2761
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2762
(Alexander Belchenko)
2763
2764
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2765
2766
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2767
(Robert Collins).
2768
2769
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2770
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2771
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2772
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2773
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2774
(John Arbash Meinel)
2775
2776
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2777
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2778
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2779
grained analysis of performance.
2780
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2781
2782
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2783
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2784
2785
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2786
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2787
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2788
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2789
file. (Robert Collins).
2790
2791
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2792
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2793
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2794
2795
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2796
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2797
Matthieu Moy)
2798
2799
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2800
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2801
2802
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2803
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2804
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2805
the same way you would apply another branch.
2806
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2807
2808
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2809
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2810
2811
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2812
(Michael Ellerman)
2813
2814
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2815
(Aaron Bentley)
2816
2817
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2818
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2819
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2820
2821
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2822
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2823
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2824
2825
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2826
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2827
2828
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2829
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2830
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2831
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2832
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2833
2834
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2835
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2836
2837
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2838
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2839
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2840
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2841
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2842
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2843
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2844
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2845
2846
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2847
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2848
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2849
2850
BUG FIXES:
2851
2852
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2853
tests not to run.
2854
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2855
2856
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2857
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2858
2859
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2860
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2861
2862
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2863
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2864
2865
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2866
2867
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2868
(John Arbash Meinel)
2869
2870
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2871
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2872
2873
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2874
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2875
and y.
2876
2877
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2878
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2879
2880
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2881
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2882
2883
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2884
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2885
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2886
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2887
2888
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2889
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2890
2891
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2892
2893
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2894
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2895
2896
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2897
2898
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2899
2900
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2901
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2902
2903
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2904
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2905
2906
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2907
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2908
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2909
2910
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2911
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2912
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2913
2914
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2915
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2916
2917
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2918
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2919
2920
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2921
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2922
2923
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2924
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2925
2926
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2927
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2928
2929
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2930
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2931
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2932
2933
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2934
2935
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2936
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2937
2938
INTERNALS:
2939
2940
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2941
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2942
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2943
2944
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2945
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2946
2947
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2948
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2949
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2950
2951
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2952
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2953
2954
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2955
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2956
(Martin Pool)
2957
2958
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2959
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2960
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2961
2962
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2963
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2964
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2965
2966
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2967
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2968
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2969
2970
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2971
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2972
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2973
2974
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2975
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2976
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2977
2978
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2979
instead. (Robert Collins)
2980
2981
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2991
=====================
2992
2993
BUG FIXES:
2994
2995
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2996
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2997
2998
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2999
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3000
3001
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3002
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

3005
CHANGES:
3006
3007
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)

* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3010
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3011
3012
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3013
3014
CHANGES:
3015
3016
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3017
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3018
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3019
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3020
3021
NEW FEATURES:
3022
3023
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3024
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3025
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3026
3027
INTERNALS:
3028
3029
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3030
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3031
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3032
3033
TESTING:
3034
3035
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3036
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3037
3038
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3039
===================
3040
3041
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3042
3043
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3044
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3045
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3046
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3047
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3048
will keep the same format.
3049
3050
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3051
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3052
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3053
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3054
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3055
3056
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3057
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3058
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3059
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3060
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3061
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3062
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3063
3064
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3065
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3066
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3067
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3068
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3069
3070
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3071
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3072
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3073
arrangement.
3074
3075
3076
IMPROVEMENTS:
3077
3078
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3079
convention. Paths now take the form::
3080
3081
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3082
or
3083
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3084
3085
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3086
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3087
3088
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3089
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3090
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3091
3092
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3093
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3094
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3095
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3096
3097
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3098
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3099
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3100
3101
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3102
3103
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3104
3105
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3106
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3107
commits::
3108
3109
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3110
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3111
| xargs bzr re-sign
3112
3113
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3114
3115
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3116
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3117
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3118
(Robert Collins)
3119
3120
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3121
3122
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3123
3124
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3125
'.moved'.
3126
3127
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3128
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3129
3130
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3131
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3132
Daniel Silverstone)
3133
3134
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3135
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3136
Martin Pool)
3137
3138
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3139
3140
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3141
3142
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3143
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3144
3145
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3146
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3147
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3148
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3149
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3150
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3151
3152
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3153
3154
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3155
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3156
(Robert Collins)
3157
3158
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3159
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3160
3161
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3162
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3163
3164
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3165
3166
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3167
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3168
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3169
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3170
specification by Martin Pool.
3171
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3172
3173
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3174
Belchenko)
3175
3176
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3177
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3178
3179
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3180
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3181
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3182
3183
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3184
3185
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3186
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3187
(Robert Collins)
3188
3189
CHANGES:
3190
3191
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3192
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3193
3194
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3195
3196
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3197
3198
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3199
(Olaf Conradi)
3200
3201
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3202
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3203
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3204
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3205
3206
INTERNALS:
3207
3208
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3209
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3210
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3211
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3212
3213
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3214
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3215
tried. (Martin Pool)
3216
3217
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3218
(Martin Pool)
3219
3220
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3221
3222
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3223
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3224
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3225
3226
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3227
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3228
3229
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3230
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3231
paths. (Robert Collins)
3232
3233
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3234
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3235
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3236
3237
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3238
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3239
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3240
3241
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3242
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3243
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3244
3245
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3246
(Olaf Conradi)
3247
3248
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3249
(Olaf Conradi)
3250
3251
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3252
3253
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3256
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3257
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3258
(Robert Collins)
3259
3260
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3261
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3262
3263
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3264
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3265
check. (Robert Collins)
3266
3267
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3268
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3269
3270
TESTING:
3271
3272
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3273
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3274
3275
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3276
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3277
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3278
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3279
3280
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3281
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3282
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3283
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3284
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3285
3286
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3287
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3288
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3289
3290
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3291
3292
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3293
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3294

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3296
==================
3297
3298
CHANGES:
3299
3300
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3301
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3302
3303
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3304
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3305
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3306
(Johan Rydberg)
3307
3308
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3309
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3310
3311
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3312
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3313
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3314
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3315
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3316
3317
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3318
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3319
used. (Robert Collins)
3320
3321
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3322
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3323
(James Henstridge)
3324
3325
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3326
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3327
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3328
3329
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3330
ignore list.
3331
3332
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3333
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3334
3335
IMPROVEMENTS:
3336
3337
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3338
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3339
3340
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3341
3342
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3343
3344
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3345
tree. (Robert Collins)
3346
3347
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3348
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3349
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3350
(Robert Collins)
3351
3352
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3353
that they be kept.
3354
3355
* Tweaks to short log printing
3356
3357
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3358
(Aaron Bentley)
3359
3360
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3361
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3362
3363
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3364
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3365
3366
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3367
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3368
3369
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3370
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3371
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3372
3373
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3374
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3375
3376
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3377
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3378
requests.
3379
3380
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3381
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3382
3383
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3384
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3385
3386
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3387
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3388
3389
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3390
(Denys Duchier)
3391
3392
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3393
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3394
3395
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3396
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3397
3398
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3399
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3400
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3401
3402
BUG FIXES:
3403
3404
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3405
3406
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3407
3408
* Error when run with -OO
3409
3410
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3411
(Martin Pool)
3412
3413
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3414
3415
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3416
3417
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3418
ignored by diff and status
3419
3420
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3421
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3422
3423
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3424
3425
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3426
3427
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3428
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3429
3430
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3431
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3432
3433
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3434
(Harald Meland)
3435
3436
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3437
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3438
3439
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3440
3441
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3442
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3443
3444
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3445
(Martin Pool)
3446
3447
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3448
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3449
3450
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3451
3452
TESTING:
3453
3454
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3455
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3456
3457
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3458
3459
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3460
3461
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3462
3463
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3464
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3465
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3466
3467
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3468
3469
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3470
(John Arbash Meinel)
3471
3472
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3473
3474
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3475
If adding a new test script please add that to
3476
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3477
3478
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3479
imported. (Martin Pool)
3480
3481
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3482
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3483
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3484
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3485
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3486
(Robert Collins)
3487
3488
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3489
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3490
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3491
3492
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3493
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3494
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3495
3496
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3497
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3498
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3499
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3500
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3501
(Robert Collins).
3502
3503
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3504
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3505
(Robert Collins).
3506
3507
INTERNALS:
3508
3509
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3510
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3511
3512
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3513
function. (Robert Collins)
3514
3515
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3516
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3517
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3518
3519
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3520
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3521
(Robert Collins)
3522
3523
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3524
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3525
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3526
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3527
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3528
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3529
version. (Robert Collins)
3530
3531
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3532
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3533
3534
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3535
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3536
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3537
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3538
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3539
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3540
3541
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3542
(Robert Collins)
3543
3544
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3545
3546
add()
3547
commit()
3548
move()
3549
rename_one()
3550
unknowns()
3551
3552
(Robert Collins)
3553
3554
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3555
3556
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3557
3558
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3559
Pool)
3560
3561
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3562
query method. (Robert Collins)
3563
3564
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3565
(Denys Duchier)
3566
3567
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3568
(Michael Ellerman)
3569
3570
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3571
(Michael Ellerman)
3572
3573
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3574
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3575
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3576
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3577
3578
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3579
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3580
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3581
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3582
3583
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3584
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3585

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3587
==================
3588
3589
IMPROVEMENTS:
3590
3591
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3592
(John A Meinel)
3593
3594
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3595
conflicts.
3596
(Aaron Bentley)
3597
3598
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3599
a separator, not ':'.
3600
(Aaron Bentley)
3601
3602
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3603
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3604
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3605
3606
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3607
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3608
(Robert Collins)
3609
3610
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3611
has been added that suppresses all output.
3612
3613
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3614
Adams.
3615
3616
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3617
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3618
3619
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3620
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3623
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3624
3625
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3626
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3627
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3628
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3629
3630
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3631
3632
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3633
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3634
3635
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3636
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3637
3638
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3639
output directory, if one was supplied.
3640
3641
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3642
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3643
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3644
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3645
3646
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3647
3648
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3649
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3650
3651
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3652
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3653
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3654
3655
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3656
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3657
3658
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3659
(Aaron Bentley)
3660
3661
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3662
3663
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3664
3665
TESTING:
3666
3667
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3668
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3669
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3670
3671
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3672
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3673
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3674
3675
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3676
is given. (Martin Pool)
3677
3678
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3679
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3680
file. (Robert Collins)
3681
3682
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3683
(Martin Pool)
3684
3685
INTERNALS:
3686
3687
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3688
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3689
representation. (Martin Pool).
3690
3691
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3692
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3693
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3694
3695
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3696
(Robert Collins)
3697
3698
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3699
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3700
Magnus Therning.
3701
3702
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3703
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3704
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3705
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3706
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3707
3708
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3709
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3710
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3711
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3712
python path. (Robert Collins)
3713
3714
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3715
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3716
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3717
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3718
3719
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3720
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3721
3722
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3723
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3724
(Robert Collins)
3725
3726
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3727
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3728
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3729
3730
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3731
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3732
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3733
3734
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3735
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3736
3737
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3738
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3739
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3740
(Robert Collins)
3741
3742
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3743
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3744
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3745
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3746
(Robert Collins)
3747
3748
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3749
(Robert Collins)
3750
3751
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3752
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3753
(Robert Collins)
3754
3755
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3756
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3757
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3758
3759
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3760
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3761
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3762
3763
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3764
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3765
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3766
3767
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3768
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3769
3770
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3771
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3772
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3773
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3774
caller. (Robert Collins)
3775
3776
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3777
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3778
(Robert Collins).
3779
3780
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3781
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3782
(Aaron Bentley)
3783
3784
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3785
3786
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3787
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3788
3789
BUG FIXES:
3790
3791
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3792
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3793
3794
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3795
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3796
3797
3798
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3799
====================
3800
3801
BUG FIXES:
3802
3803
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3804
allow directories to be listed.
3805
3806
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3807
upgrading branch format.
3808
3809
PERFORMANCE:
3810
3811
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3812
3813
3814
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3815
==================
3816
3817
NOTES:
3818
3819
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3820
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3821
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3822
high-latency connections.
3823
3824
BUG FIXES:
3825
3826
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3827
Rob Weir.
3828
3829
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3830
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3831
3832
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3833
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3834
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3835
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3836
3837
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3838
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3839
3840
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3841
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3842
3843
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3844
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3845
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3846
3847
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3848
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3849
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3850
Robert Collins
3851
3852
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3853
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3854
3855
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3856
different partial views of history.
3857
3858
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3859
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3860
3861
IMPROVEMENTS:
3862
3863
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3864
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3865
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3866
3867
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3868
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3869
'bzr upgrade'.
3870
3871
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3872
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3873
3874
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3875
Niemeyer.
3876
3877
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3878
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3879
3880
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3881
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3882
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3883
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3884
3885
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3886
3887
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3888
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3889
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3890
3891
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3892
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3893
3894
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3895
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3896
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3897
3898
3899
INTERNALS:
3900
3901
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3902
for your viewing pleasure.
3903
3904
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3905
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3906
3907
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3908
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3909
handling of such circumstances.
3910
3911
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3912
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3913
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3914
3915
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3916
3917
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3918
we call them revisions not patches.
3919
3920
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3921
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3922
3923
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3924
giving the revision *of that file*.
3925
3926
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3927
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3928
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3929
3930
TESTING:
3931
3932
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3933
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3934
3935
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3936
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3937
3938
3939
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3940
====================
3941
3942
BUG FIXES:
3943
3944
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3945
3946
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3947
(Robert Collins).
3948
3949
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3950
3951
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3952
3953
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3954
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3955
3956
IMPROVEMENTS:
3957
3958
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3959
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3960
3961
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3962
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3963
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3964
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3965
Robey Pointer
3966
3967
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3968
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3969
3970
INTERNALS:
3971
3972
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3973
3974
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3975
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3976
3977
3978
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3979
====================
3980
3981
IMPROVEMENTS:
3982
3983
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3984
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3985
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3986
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3987
Michael Ellerman.
3988
3989
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3990
(Nir Soffer)
3991
3992
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3993
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3994
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3995
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3996
for the operating system is still tried.
3997
3998
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3999
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4000
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4001
4002
4003
INTERNALS:
4004
4005
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4006
4007
BUG FIXES:
4008
4009
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4010
4011
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4012
branch.
4013
4014
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4015
read.
4016
4017
4018
PORTABILITY:
4019
4020
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4021
4022
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

4024
4025
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4026
====================
4027
4028
NEW FEATURES:
4029
4030
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4031
help with intelligent shell completion.
4032
4033
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4034
4035
4036
ENHANCEMENTS:
4037
4038
* Much better merge support.
4039
4040
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4041
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4042
like emacs smerge.
4043
4044
4045
BUG FIXES:
4046
4047
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4048
mention revisions that are not present.
4049
4050
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4051
4052
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4053
4054
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4055
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4056
4057
4058
CHANGES:
4059
4060
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4061
4062
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4063
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4064
--help themselves.
4065
4066
4067
LIBRARY:
4068
4069
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4070
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4071
libraries.
4072
4073
4074
4075
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4076
====================
4077
4078
NEW FEATURES:
4079
4080
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4081
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4082
4083
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4084
4085
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4086
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4087
4088
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4089
FOO.
4090
4091
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4092
4093
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4094
the Unix command.
4095
4096
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4097
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4098
4099
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4100
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4101
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4102
4103
4104
ENHANCEMENTS:
4105
4106
* Faster working tree operations.
4107
4108
4109
CHANGES:
4110
4111
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4112
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4113
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4114
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4115
4116
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4117
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4118
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4119
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4120
standard plugins directory.
4121
4122
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4123
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4124
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4125
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4126
4127
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4128
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4129
4130
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4131
disk.
4132
4133
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4134
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4135
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4136
4137
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4138
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4139
4140
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4141
line options must come before the command name because they
4142
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4143
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4144
it.
4145
4146
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4147
4148
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4149
is available with ``--short``.
4150
4151
4152
BUG FIXES:
4153
4154
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4155

CHANGES:
4161
4162
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4163
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4164
4165
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4166
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4167
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4168
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4169
4170
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4171
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4172
with the ``--forward`` option.
4173
4174
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4175
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4176
field.
4177
4178
4179
ENHANCEMENTS:
4180
4181
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4182
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4183
4184
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4185
4186
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4187
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4188
4189
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4190
4191
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4192
either read or write mode.
4193
4194
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4195
4196
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4197
affected that file.
4198
4199
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4200
4201
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4202
suggested by LarstiQ.
4203
4204
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4205
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4206
4207
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4208
a filename.
4209
4210
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4211
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4212
4213
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4214
haven't changed since the previous time.
4215
4216
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4217
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4218
4219
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4220
4221
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4222
4223
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4224
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4225
4226
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4227
options through to an external GNU diff.
4228
4229
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4230
their contents.
4231
4232
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4233
from a branch.
4234
4235
4236
BUG FIXES:
4237
4238
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4239
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4240
4241
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4242
metacharacters.
4243
4244
4245
TESTING:
4246
4247
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4248
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4249
the tests.
4250
4251
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4252
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4253
4254
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4255
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4256
4257
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4258
under a different version.
4259
4260
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4261
4262
4263
INTERNAL:
4264
4265
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4266
4267
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4268
Scott James Remnant.
4269
4270
* Better help messages for many commands.
4271
4272
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4273
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4274
4275
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4276
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4277
4278
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4279
4280
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4281
4282
* New AtomicFile class.
4283
4284
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4285
4286
4287
PORTABILITY:
4288
4289
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4290
2.4 is now only recommended.

4293
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4294
=====================
4295
4296
ENHANCEMENTS:
4297
4298
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4299
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4300
4301
* More default ignore patterns.
4302
4303
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4304
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4305
4306
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4307
4308
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4309
by Jason Diamon.
4310
4311
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4312
4313
4314
CHANGES:
4315
4316
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4317
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4318
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4319
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4320
there are DNS problems.
4321
4322
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4323
4324
4325
BUG FIXES:
4326
4327
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4328
4329
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4330
4331
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4332
trailing newlines properly.
4333
4334
4335
INTERNAL:
4336
4337
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4338
Matt Brubeck.
4339
4340
* More tests in test.sh.
4341
4342
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4343
directory and delete it when done.
4344
4345
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4346
4347
4348
PORTABILITY:
4349
4350
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4351
Bennetts.
4352
4353
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4354
from QuantumG.

4363
in the tree.
4364

4366
4367
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4368
and/or directory.
4369
4370
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4371
directory.
4372
4373
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4374
4375
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4376
4377
CHANGES:
4378
4379
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4380
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4381
will do for now.)
4382
4383
PORTABILITY:
4384
4385
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4386
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4387
Nielsen.
4388
4389
INTERNAL:
4390
4391
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

4408
4409
ENHANCEMENTS:
4410
4411
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4412
4413
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4414
rather than replacing it.
4415
4416
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4417
4418
* More help topics.
4419
4420
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4421
branch.
4422
4423
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4424
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4425
4426
* Performance improvements.
4427
4428
* New global --profile option.
4429
4430
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4431
the root directory only.
4432

4455
installation easier.
4456
4457

4458
supported).
4459
4460
4461
