NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
37
38
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
39
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
40
(Aaron Bentley)
41
42
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
43
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
44
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
45
46
PERFORMANCE:
47
48
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
49
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
50
51
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
52
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
53
54
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
55
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
56
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
57
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
58
59
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
60
(Robert Collins)
61
62
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
63
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
64
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
65
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
66
67
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
68
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
69
70
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
71
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
72
73
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
74
the contents. (Robert Collins)
75
76
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
77
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
78
79
IMPROVEMENTS:
80
81
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
82
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
83
84
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
85
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
86
87
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
88
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
89
90
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
91
(Martin Pool, #63894)
92
93
DOCUMENTATION:
94
95
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
96
97
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
98
(Ian Clatworthy)
99
100
BUG FIXES:
101
102
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
103
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
104
105
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
106
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
107
108
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
109
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
110
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
111
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
112
113
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
114
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
115
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
116
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
117
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
118
119
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
120
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
121
paramiko.
122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
123
124
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
125
126
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
127
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
128
129
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
131
132
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
133
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
134
135
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
136
contains a symbolic link.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
138
139
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
140
(James Westby, #140615)
141
142
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
143
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
145
146
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
147
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
148
(Martin Pool, #144633)
149
150
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
151
152
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
154
155
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
156
will remain opened.
157
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
158
159
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
160
directory to detect leaking tests.
161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
162
163
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
164
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
165
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
166
167
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
168
(Rob Weir, #141629)
169
170
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
171
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
174
Merwe)
175
176
API BREAKS:
177
178
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
179
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
180
181
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
182
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
183
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
184
185
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
186
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
187
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
188
189
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
190
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
191
192
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
193
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
194
195
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
196
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
197
(Martin Pool)
198
199
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
200
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
201
202
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
203
class that needs it.
204
(Martin Pool)
205
206
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
207
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
208
209
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
210
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
211
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
212
213
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
214
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
215
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
216
(Robert Collins)
217
218
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
219
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
220
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
221
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
222
(Robert Collins)
223
224
INTERNALS:
225
226
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
227
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
228
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
229
230
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
231
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
232
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
233
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
234
235
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
236
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
237
(Robert Collins)
238
239
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
240
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
241
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
242
243
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
244
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
245
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
246
247
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
248
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
249
250
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
251
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
252
to complete. (Robert Collins)
253
254
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
255
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
256
257
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
258
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
259
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
260
261
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
262
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
263
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
264
265
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
266
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
267
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
268
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
269
270
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
271
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
272
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
273
returned. (Robert Collins)
274
275
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
276
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
277
278
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
279
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
280
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
281
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
282
(Robert Collins)
283
284
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
285
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
286
287
TESTING:
288
289
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
290
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
291
292
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
293
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
294
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
295
makes this behavior available to other users.
296
(Martin Pool)

bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
300
===================
301
302
BUG FIXES:
303
304
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
305
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
306
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
307
308
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
309
310
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
311
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
312
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
313
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
314
315
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
316
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
317
(Andrew Bennetts)
318
319
320
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
321
======================
322
323
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
324
in bzrlib/remote.py.
325
326
327
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
328
======================
329
330
CHANGES:
331
332
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
333
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
334
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
335
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
336
(Martin Pool)
337
338
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
339
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
340
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
341
(Ian Clatworthy)
342
343
FEATURES:
344
345
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
346
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
347
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
348
(Lukáš Lalinský)
349
350
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
351
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
352
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
353
354
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
355
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
356
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
357
358
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
359
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
360
361
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
362
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
363
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
364
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
365
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
366
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
367
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
368
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
369
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
370
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
371
372
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
373
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
374
375
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
376
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
377
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
378
379
BUG FIXES:
380
381
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
382
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
383
384
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
385
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
386
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
387
388
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
389
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
390
391
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
392
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
393
394
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
395
(Aaron Bentley)
396
397
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
398
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
399
400
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
401
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
402
403
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
404
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
405
406
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
407
(Blake Winton, #129299)
408
409
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
410
411
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
412
Watkins, #106726)
413
414
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
415
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
416
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
417
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
418
419
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
420
421
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
422
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
423
#133548)
424
425
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
426
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
427
428
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
429
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
430
#116143)
431
432
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
433
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
434
435
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
436
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
437
438
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
439
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
440
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
441
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
442
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
443
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
444
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
445
446
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
447
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
448
449
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
450
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
451
452
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
453
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
454
455
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
456
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
457
458
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
459
connections.
460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
461
462
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
463
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
464
465
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
466
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
467
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
468
469
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
470
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
471
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
472
473
IMPROVEMENTS:
474
475
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
476
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
477
478
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
479
(Aaron Bentley)
480
481
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
482
(Aaron Bentley)
483
484
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
485
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
486
487
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
488
489
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
490
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
491
492
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
493
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
494
495
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
496
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
497
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
498
space). (Robert Collins)
499
500
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
501
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
502
(Ian Clatworthy)
503
504
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
505
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
506
507
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
508
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
509
510
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
511
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
512
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
513
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
514
515
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
516
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
517
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
518
(Lukáš Lalinský)
519
520
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
521
(Ian Clatworthy)
522
523
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
524
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
525
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
526
527
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
528
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
529
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
530
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
531
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
532
533
API BREAKS:
534
535
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
536
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
537
538
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
539
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
540
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
541
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
542
affected. (Robert Collins)
543
544
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
545
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
546
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
547
(Robert Collins)
548
549
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
550
previous release. (Martin Pool)
551
552
TESTING:
553
554
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
555
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
556
557
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
558
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
559
560
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
561
previous release. (Martin Pool)
562
563
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
564
(Aaron Bentley)
565
566
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
567
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
568
569
INTERNALS:
570
571
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
572
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
573
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
574
its version information. (Robert Collins)
575
576
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
577
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
578
579
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
580
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
581
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
582
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
583
584
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
585
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
586
present. (Robert Collins)
587
588
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
589
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
590
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
591
API. (Robert Collins)
592
593
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
594
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
595
(Robert Collins)
596
597
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
598
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
599
600
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
601
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
602
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
603
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
604
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
605
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
606
607
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
608
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
609
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
610
611
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
612
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
613
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
614
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
615
protocol.
616
617
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
618
(Aaron Bentley)
619
620
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
621
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
622
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
623
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
624
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
625
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
626
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
627
628
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
629
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
630
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
631
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
632
633
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
634
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
635
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
636
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
637
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
638
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
639
640
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
641
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
642
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
643
644
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
645
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
646
647
648
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
649
===================
650
651
IMPROVEMENTS:
652
653
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
654
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
655
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
656
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
657
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
658
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
659
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
660
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
661
662
663
API CHANGES:
664
665
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
666
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
667
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
668
669
670
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
671
======================
672
673
BUGFIXES:
674
675
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
676
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
677
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
678
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
679
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
680
681
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
683
684
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
685
anymore.
686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
687
688
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
689
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil)
691
692
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
693
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
694
#111664)
695
696
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
697
(Lukáš Lalinský)
698
699
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
700
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
701
702
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
703
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
704
705
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
706
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
707
708
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
709
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
710
711
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
712
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
713
714
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
715
(Aaron Bentley)
716
717
IMPROVEMENTS:
718
719
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
720
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
721
722
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
723
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
724
725
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
726
the repository (Robert Collins)
727
728
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
729
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
730
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
731
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
732
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
733
734
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
735
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
736
737
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
738
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
739
(John Arbash Meinel)
740
741
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
742
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
743
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
744
about 10%).
745
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
746
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
747
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
748
(John Arbash Meinel)
749
750
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
751
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
752
(Robert Collins)
753
754
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
755
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
756
757
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
758
(Ian Clatworthy)
759
760
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
761
762
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
763
764
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
765
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
766
767
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
768
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
769
Meinel)
770
771
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
772
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
773
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
774
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
775
776
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
777
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
778
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
779
780
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
781
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
782
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
783
784
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
785
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
786
787
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
788
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
789
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
790
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
791
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
792
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
793
(Ian Clatworthy)
794
795
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
796
(Alexander Belchenko)
797
798
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
799
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
800
801
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
802
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
803
804
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
805
806
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
807
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
808
809
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
810
811
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
812
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
813
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
814
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
815
816
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
817
818
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
819
(Robert Collins)
820
821
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
822
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
823
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
824
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
825
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
826
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
827
828
INTERNALS:
829
830
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
831
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
832
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
833
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
834
835
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
836
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
837
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
838
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
839
tests have been refactored too.
840
(Vincent Ladeuil)
841
842
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
843
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
844
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
845
list, it will.
846
(Vincent Ladeuil)
847
848
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
849
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
850
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
851
852
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
853
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
854
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
855
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
856
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
857
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
858
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
859
860
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
861
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
862
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
863
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
864
(John Arbash Meinel)
865
866
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
867
functionality for testing.
868
869
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
870
871
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
872
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
873
874
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
875
876
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
877
(Robert Collins)
878
879
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
880
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
881
882
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
883
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
884
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
885
886
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
887
(Aaron Bentley)
888
889
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
890
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
891
892
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
893
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
894
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
895
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
896
897
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
898
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
899
900
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
901
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
902
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
903
904
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
905
(Marius Kruger)
906
907
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
908
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
909
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
910
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
911
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
912
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
913
914
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
915
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
916
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
917
many files. (Robert Collins)
918
919
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
920
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
921
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
922
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
923
924
TESTING:
925
926
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
927
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
928
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
929
930
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
931
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
932
933
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
934
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
935
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

947
=======================
948
949
BUGFIXES:
950
951
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
952
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
953
954
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
955
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
956
(James Westby, #122656)
957
958
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
959
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
960
961
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
962
authentication header.
963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
964
965
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
966
967
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
968
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
969
970
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
971
972
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
973
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
974
975
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
976
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
978
979
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
980
individually and as part of revision ranges.
981
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
982
983
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
984
(Martin Pool, #109169)
985
986
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
988
989
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
990
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
991
992
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
993
994
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
995
996
IMPROVEMENTS:
997
998
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
999
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1000
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1001
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1002
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1003
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1004
1005
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1006
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1007
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1008
1009
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1010
(Elliot Murphy)
1011
1012
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1013
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1014
1015
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1016
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1017
1018
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1019
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1020
1021
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1022
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1023
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1024
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1025
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1026
1027
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1028
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1029
1030
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1031
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1032
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1033
1034
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1035
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1036
1037
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1038
1039
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1040
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1041
1042
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1043
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1044
(Robert Collins)
1045
1046
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1047
(Martin Pool)
1048
1049
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1050
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1051
1052
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1053
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1054
1055
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1056
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1057
1058
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1059
1060
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1061
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1062
1063
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1064
(Andrew Bennetts)
1065
1066
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1067
1068
* Testing cleanups -
1069
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1070
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1071
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1072
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1073
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1074
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1075
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1076
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1077
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1078
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1079
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1080
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1081
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1082
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1083
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1084
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1085
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1086
(Robert Collins)
1087
1088
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1089
1090
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1091
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1092
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1093
1094
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1095
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1096
1097
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1098
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1099
1100
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1101
1102
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1103
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1104
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1105
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1106
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1107
same location. (Robert Collins)
1108
1109
INTERNALS:
1110
1111
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1112
1113
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1114
1115
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1116
1117
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1118
(Martin Pool)
1119
1120
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1121
(Martin Pool)
1122
1123
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1124
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1125
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1126
1127
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1128
1129
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1130
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1131
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1132
1133
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1134
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1135
1136
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1137
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1138
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1139
1140
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1141
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1142
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1143
1144
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1145
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1146
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1147
1148
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1149
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1150
Martin Pool)
1151
1152
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1153
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1154
1155
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1156
(Alexander Belchenko)
1157
1158
TESTING:
1159
1160
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1161
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1162
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1163
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1164
1165
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1166
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1167
testing. (Robert Collins)
1168
1169
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1170
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1171
1172
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1173
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1174
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1175
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1176
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1177
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1178
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1179
1180
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1181
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1182
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1183
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1184
1185
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1186
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1187
1188
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1189
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1209
1210
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1211
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1212
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1213
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1214
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1215
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1216
and unlock() like so::
1217
1218
work_tree.lock_read()
1219
try:
1220
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1221
finally:
1222
work_tree.unlock()
1223
1224
INTERNALS:
1225
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1226
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1227
object.
1228
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1229
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1230
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1231
1232
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1233
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1234
too. (Robert Collins)
1235
1236
IMPROVEMENTS:
1237
1238
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1239
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1240
Aaron Bentley)
1241
1242
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1243
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1244
1245
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1246
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1247
1248
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1249
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1250
understanding what changes have occurred
1251
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1252
1253
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1254
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1255
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1256
1257
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1258
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1259
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1260
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1261
1262
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1263
#56322)
1264
1265
BUGFIXES:
1266
1267
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1268
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1269
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1270
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1271
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1272
1273
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1274
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1275
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1276
1277
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1279
1280
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1281
into account.
1282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1283
1284
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1285
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1286
1287
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1288
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1289
1290
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1291
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1292
1293
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1294
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1295
1296
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1297
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1298
1299
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1300
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1301
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1304
====================
1305
1306
BUGFIXES:
1307
1308
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1309
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1310
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1311
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1312
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1313
1314
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1315
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1316
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1317
1318
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1319
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1320
1321
IMPROVEMENTS:
1322
1323
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1324
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1325
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1326
1327
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1328
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1329
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1330
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1337
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1338
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1339
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1340
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1341
1342
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1343
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1344
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1345
1346
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1347
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1348

* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1350
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1351
1352
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

1356
=======================

1358
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1359
1360
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1361
it could be recovered again.
1362
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1363
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1364
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1365
but not delete it.
1366
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1367
files.
1368
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1369
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1370
1371
IMPROVEMENTS:

1373
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1374
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1375
1376
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1377
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1378
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1379
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1380
1381
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1382
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1383
1384
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1385
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1386
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1387
1388
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1389
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1390
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1391
1392
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1393
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1394
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1395
1396
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1397
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1398
Robert Collins)
1399
1400
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1401
Pool)
1402
1403
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1404
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1405
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1406
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1407
1408
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1409
(Robert Collins)
1410
1411
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1412
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1413
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1414
(Robert Collins)
1415
1416
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1417
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1418
1419
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1420
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1421
1422
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1423
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1424
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1425
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1426
(Robert Collins)
1427
1428
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1429
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1430
1431
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1432
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1433
1434
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1435
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1436
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1437
1438
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1439
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1440
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1441
1442
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1443
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1444
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1445
1446
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1447
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1448
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1449
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1450
1451
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1452
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1453
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1454
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1455
1456
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1457
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1458
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1459
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1460
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1461
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1462
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1463
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1464
header(s).
1465
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1466
1467
INTERNALS:
1468
1469
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1470
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1473
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1474
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1475
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1476
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1477
1478
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1479
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1480
1481
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1482
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1483
1484
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1485
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1486
1487
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1488
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1489
1490
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1491
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1492
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1493
(Robert Collins).
1494
1495
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1496
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1497
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1498
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1499
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1500
(Robert Collins)
1501
1502
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1503
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1504
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1505
1506
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1507
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1508
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1509
1510
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1511
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1512
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1513
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1514
1515
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1516
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1517
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1518
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1519
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1520
1521
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1522
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1523
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1524
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1525
1526
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1527
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1528
1529
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1530
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1531
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1532
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1533
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1534
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1535
1536
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1537
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1538
1539
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1540
help. (Robert Collins)
1541
1542
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1543
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1544
1545
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1546
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1547
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1548
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1549
(John Arbash Meinel)
1550
1551
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1552
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1553
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1554
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1555
useful. (Robert Collins)
1556
1557
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1558
(Andrew Bennetts)
1559
1560
BUGFIXES:
1561
1562
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1563
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1564
1565
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1566
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1567
1568
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1569
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1570
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1571
1572
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1573
(Aaron Bentley)
1574
1575
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1576
the file, and does it faster.
1577
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1578
1579
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1580
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1581
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1582
1583
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1584
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1585
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1586
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1587
1588
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1589
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1590
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1591
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1592
1593
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1594
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1595
1596
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1597
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1598
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1599
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1600
Arbash Meinel)
1601
1602
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1603
1604
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1605
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1606
1607
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1608
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1609
1610
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1611
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1612
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1613
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1614
security hole.
1615
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1616
1617
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1619
1620
TESTING:
1621
1622
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1623
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1624
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1625
1626
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1627
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1628
1629
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1630
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1631
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1632
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1633
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1634
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1635
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1636
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1637
1638
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1639
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1640
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1641
1642
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1643
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1644
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1645
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1646
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1647
access.
1648
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1649
1650
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1651
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1652
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1653
1654
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1655
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1673
CHANGES:
1674
1675
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1676
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1677
(Martin Pool)
1678
1679
IMPROVEMENTS:
1680
1681
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1682
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1683
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1684
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1685
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1686
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1687
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1688
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1689
path. (vila)
1690
1691
INTERNALS:
1692
1693
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1694
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1695
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
1697
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1698
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1699
(Martin Pool)
1700
1701
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1702
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1703
(John Arbash Meinel)
1704
1705
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1706
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1707
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1708
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1709
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1710
1711
BUGFIXES:
1712
1713
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1714
(vila, #92195)
1715
1716
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1717
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1718
1719
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1720
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1721
1722
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1723
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1724
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1725
1726
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1727
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1728
1729
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1730
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1731
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1732
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1733
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1734
1735
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1736
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1737
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1738
1739
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1743
=======================
1744
1745
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1746
1747
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1748
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1749
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1750
1751
IMPROVEMENTS:
1752
1753
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1754
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1755
1756
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1757
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1758
1759
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1760
1761
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1762
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1763
1764
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1765
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1766
1767
INTERNALS:
1768
1769
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1770
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1771
1772
BUGFIXES:
1773
1774
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1775
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1776
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1777
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1778
1779
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1780
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1781
1782
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1783
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1784
1785
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1786
(Marien Zwart)
1787
1788
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1793
=======================
1794
1795
SURPRISES:
1796
1797
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1798
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1799
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1800
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1801
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1802
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1803
1804
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1805
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1806
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1807
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1808
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1809
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1810
development.
1811
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1812
1813
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1814
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1815
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1816
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1817
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1818
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1819
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1820
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1821
1822
IMPROVEMENTS:
1823
1824
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1825
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1826
1827
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1828
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1829
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1830
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1831
does exist.
1832
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1833
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1834
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1835
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1836
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1837
1838
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1839
(Aaron Bentley)
1840
1841
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1842
(Aaron Bentley)
1843
1844
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1845
(Robert Collins)
1846
1847
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1848
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1849
(Aaron Bentley)
1850
1851
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1852
(Aaron Bentley)
1853
1854
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1855
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1856
1857
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1858
directory. (Martin Pool)
1859
1860
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1861
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1862
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1863
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1864
1865
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1866
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1867
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1868
in docs/configuration.txt.
1869
1870
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1871
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1872
bind location.
1873
1874
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1875
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1876
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1877
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1878
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1879
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1880
1881
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1882
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1883
1884
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1885
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1886
1887
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1888
(Aaron Bentley)
1889
1890
INTERNALS:
1891
1892
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1893
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1894
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1895
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1896
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1897
(John Arbash Meinel)
1898
1899
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1900
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1901
(Aaron Bentley)
1902
1903
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1904
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1905
(John Arbash Meinel)
1906
1907
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1908
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1909
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1910
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1911
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1912
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1913
1914
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1915
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1916
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1917
1918
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1919
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1920
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1921
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1922
repository.
1923
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1924
1925
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1926
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1927
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1928
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1929
1930
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1931
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1932
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1933
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1936
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1937
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1938
1939
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1940
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1941
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1942
1943
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1944
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1945
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1946
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1947
1948
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1949
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1950
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1951
1952
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1953
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1954
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1955
1956
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1957
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1958
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1959
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1960
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1961
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1962
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1963
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1964
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1967
1968
BUGFIXES:
1969
1970
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1971
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1972
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1973
1974
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1975
(Aaron Bentley)
1976
1977
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1978
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1979
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1980
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1981
1982
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1983
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1984
#83954).
1985
1986
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1987
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1988
1989
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1990
1991
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1992
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1993
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1994
1995
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1996
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1997
1998
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1999
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2000
2001
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2003

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2005
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2006
2007
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2008

2010
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2011

TESTING:
2013
2014

2021
IMPROVEMENTS:
2022
2023
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2024
2025
BUG FIXES:
2026
2027
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2028
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2029
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2030
2031
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2032
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2033
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2036
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2037
=======================
2038
2039
IMPROVEMENTS:
2040
2041
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2042
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2043
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2044
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2045
2046
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2047
(Marius Kruger)
2048
2049
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2050
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2051
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2052
2053
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2054
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2055
2056
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2057
(Aaron Bentley)
2058
2059
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2060
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2061
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2062
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2063
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2064
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2065
2066
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2067
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2068
should enable you to do::
2069
2070
[/home/user/project]
2071
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2072
push_location:policy = appendpath
2073
2074
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2075
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2076
(James Henstridge)
2077
2078
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2079
for each file. For example::
2080
2081
$ bzr status --short
2082
A foo
2083
A bar
2084
D baz
2085
? wooley
2086
2087
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2088
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2089
2090
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2091
2092
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2093
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2094
2095
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2096
2097
INTERNALS:
2098
2099
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2100
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2101
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2102
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2103
2104
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2105
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2106
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2107
2108
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2109
2110
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2111
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2112
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2113
(Alexander Belchenko)
2114
2115
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2116
Pool)
2117
2118
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2119
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2120
2121
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2122
2123
BUG FIXES:
2124
2125
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2126
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2127
2128
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2129
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2130
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2131
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2132
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2133
2134
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2135
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2136
2137
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2138
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2139
2140
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2141
matcher.
2142
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2143
2144
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2145
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2146
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2147
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2148
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2149
2150
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2151
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2152
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2153
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2154
2155
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2156
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2157
2158
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2159
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2160
2161
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2162
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2177
2178
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2179
tree from a branch.
2180
(Daniel Silverstone)
2181
2182
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2183
operations are substantially faster.
2184
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2185
2186
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2187
tree from some other url. For example:
2188
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2189
(Daniel Silverstone)
2190
2191
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2192
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2193
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2194
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2195
2196
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2197
(Andrew Bennetts)
2198
2199
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2200
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2201
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2202
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2203
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2204
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2205
2206
INTERNALS:
2207
2208
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2209
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2210
(Martin Pool)
2211
2212
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2213
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2214
(John Arbash Meinel)
2215
2216
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2217
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2218
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2219
(John Arbash Meinel)
2220
2221
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2222
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2223
2224
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2225
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2226
2227
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2228
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2229
Bennetts)
2230
2231
BUG FIXES:
2232
2233
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2234
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2235
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2236
2237
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2238
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2239
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2240
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2241
2242
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2243
2244
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2245
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2246
2247
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2248
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2249
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2251
2252
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2253
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2254
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2255
2256
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2257
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2258
them as full references rather than integers.
2259
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2260
2261
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2262
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2263
2264
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2265
2266
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2267
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2268
2269
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2270
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2271
2272
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2273
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2274
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2275
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2276
2277
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2278
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2279
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2280
2281
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2282
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2283
2284
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2285
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2286
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2287
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2288
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2289
2290
TESTING:
2291
2292
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2293
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2296
====================
2297
2298
INTERNALS:
2299
2300
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2301
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2302
(John Arbash Meinel)
2303
2304
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2305
=======================
2306
2307
IMPROVEMENTS:
2308
2309
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2310
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2311
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2312
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2313
2314
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2315
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2316
2317
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2318
2319
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2320
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2321
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2322
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2323
2324
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2325
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2326
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2327
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2328
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2329
2330
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2331
2332
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2333
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2334
2335
INTERNALS:
2336
2337
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2338
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2339
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2340
2341
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2342
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2343
(John Arbash Meinel)
2344
2345
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2346
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2347
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2348
2349
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2350
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2351
(Aaron Bentley)
2352
2353
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2354
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2355
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2356
2357
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2358
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2359
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2360
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2361
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2362
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2363
2364
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2365
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2366
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2367
(Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2370
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2371
2372
BUG FIXES:
2373
2374
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2375
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2376
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2377
#63360, #66349)
2378
2379
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2380
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2381
2382
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2383
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2384
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2385
2386
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2387
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2388
2389
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2390
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2391
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2392
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2393
2394
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2395
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2396
2397
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2398
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2399
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2400
2401
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2402
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2403
2404
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2405
2406
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2407
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2408
#32054)
2409
2410
TESTING:
2411
2412
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2413
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2414
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2415
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2416
2417
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2418
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2419
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2420
2421
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

====================
2423
2424
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2425
2426

=======================
2428
2429
BUG FIXES:
2430
2431
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2432
2433
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2434
Arbash Meinel).
2435
2436
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2437
=======================
2438
2439
IMPROVEMENTS:
2440
2441
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2442
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2443
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2444
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2445
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2446
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2447
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2448
2449
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2450
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2451
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2452
2453
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2456
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2457
2458
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2459
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2460
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2461
(Robert Collins)
2462
2463
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2464
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2465
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2466
(John Arbash Meinel)
2467
2468
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2469
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2470
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2471
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2472
Pool)
2473
2474
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2475
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2476
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2477
(John Arbash Meinel)
2478
2479
BUG FIXES:
2480
2481
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2482
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2483
2484
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2485
2486
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2487
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2488
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2489
2490
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2491
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2492
2493
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2494
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2495
2496
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2497
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2498
2499
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2500
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2501
2502
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2503
2504
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2505
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2506
2507
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2508
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2509
2510
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2511
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2512
2513
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2514
(John Arbash Meinel)
2515
2516
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2517
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2518
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2519
2520
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2521
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2522
2523
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2524
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2525
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2526
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2527
2528
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2529
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2530
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2531
2532
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2533
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2534
2535
PORTABILITY:
2536
2537
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2538
2539
INTERNALS:
2540
2541
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2542
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2543
(John Arbash Meinel)
2544
2545
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2546
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2547
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2548
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2549
2550
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2551
(Andrew Bennetts)
2552
2553
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2554
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2555
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2556
2557
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2558
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2559
2560
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2561
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2562
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2565
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2566
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2567
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2568
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2569
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2570
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2571
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2572
caller to repeat their request.
2573
(John Arbash Meinel)
2574
2575
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2576
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2577
2578
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2579
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2580
2581
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2582
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2583
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2584
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2585
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2586
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2587
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2588
2589
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2590
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2591
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2592
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2593
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2594
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2595
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2596
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2597
(Robert Collins)
2598
2599
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2600
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2601
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2602
2603
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2604
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2605
2606
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2607
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2608
2609
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2610
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2611
2612
TESTING:
2613
2614
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2615
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2616
2617
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2618
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2619
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2620
2621
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2622
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2623
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2624
2625
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2626
====================
2627
2628
IMPROVEMENTS:
2629
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2630
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2631
2632
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2633
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2634
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2635
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2636
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2637
2638
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2639
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2640
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2641
2642
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2643
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2644
2645
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2646
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2647
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2648
2649
BUG FIXES:
2650
2651
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2652
2653
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2654
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2655
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2656
2657
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2658
2659
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2660
2661
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2662
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2663
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2664
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2665
2666
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2667
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2668
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2669
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2670
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2671
2672
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2673
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2674
2675
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2676
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2677
2678
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2679
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2680
2681
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2682
in handling of revision properties.
2683
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2684
2685
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2686
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2687
2688
INTERNALS:
2689
2690
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2691
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2692
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2693
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2694
(John Arbash Meinel)
2695
2696
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2697
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2698
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2699
2700
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2701
=====================
2702
2703
SURPRISES:
2704
2705
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2706
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2707
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2708
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2709
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2710
a more conservative list than the old default.
2711
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2712
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2713
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2714
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2715
2716
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2717
to more locations than just branch locations.
2718
(Aaron Bentley)
2719
2720
IMPROVEMENTS:
2721
2722
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2723
revno:N:branch. For example,
2724
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2725
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2726
2727
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2728
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2729
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2730
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2731
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2732
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2733
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2734
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2735
#42517, #42514)
2736
2737
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2738
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2739
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2740
(Malone #3507)
2741
2742
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2743
(Alexander Belchenko)
2744
2745
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2746
2747
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2748
(Robert Collins).
2749
2750
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2751
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2752
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2753
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2754
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2755
(John Arbash Meinel)
2756
2757
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2758
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2759
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2760
grained analysis of performance.
2761
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2762
2763
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2764
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2765
2766
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2767
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2768
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2769
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2770
file. (Robert Collins).
2771
2772
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2773
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2774
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2775
2776
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2777
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2778
Matthieu Moy)
2779
2780
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2781
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2782
2783
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2784
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2785
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2786
the same way you would apply another branch.
2787
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2788
2789
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2790
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2791
2792
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2793
(Michael Ellerman)
2794
2795
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2796
(Aaron Bentley)
2797
2798
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2799
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2800
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2801
2802
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2803
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2804
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2805
2806
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2807
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2808
2809
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2810
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2811
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2812
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2813
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2814
2815
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2816
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2817
2818
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2819
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2820
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2821
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2822
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2823
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2824
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2825
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2826
2827
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2828
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2829
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2830
2831
BUG FIXES:
2832
2833
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2834
tests not to run.
2835
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2836
2837
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2838
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2839
2840
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2841
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2842
2843
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2844
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2845
2846
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2847
2848
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2849
(John Arbash Meinel)
2850
2851
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2852
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2853
2854
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2855
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2856
and y.
2857
2858
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2859
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2860
2861
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2862
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2863
2864
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2865
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2866
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2867
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2868
2869
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2870
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2871
2872
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2873
2874
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2875
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2876
2877
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2878
2879
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2880
2881
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2882
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2883
2884
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2885
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2886
2887
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2888
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2889
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2890
2891
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2892
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2893
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2894
2895
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2896
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2897
2898
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2899
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2900
2901
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2902
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2903
2904
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2905
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2906
2907
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2908
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2909
2910
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2911
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2912
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2913
2914
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2915
2916
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2917
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2918
2919
INTERNALS:
2920
2921
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2922
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2923
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2924
2925
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2926
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2927
2928
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2929
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2930
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2931
2932
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2933
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2934
2935
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2936
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2937
(Martin Pool)
2938
2939
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2940
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2941
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2942
2943
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2944
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2945
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2946
2947
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2948
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2949
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2950
2951
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2952
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2953
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2954
2955
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2956
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2957
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2958
2959
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2960
instead. (Robert Collins)
2961
2962
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2977
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2978
2979
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2980
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2981
2982
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2983
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

2994
2995
CHANGES:
2996
2997
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2998
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

3000
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3001
3002
NEW FEATURES:
3003
3004
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3013
3014

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

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3277
==================
3278
3279
CHANGES:
3280
3281
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3282
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3283
3284
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3285
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3286
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3287
(Johan Rydberg)
3288
3289
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3290
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3291
3292
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3293
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3294
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3295
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3296
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3297
3298
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3299
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3300
used. (Robert Collins)
3301
3302
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3303
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3304
(James Henstridge)
3305
3306
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3307
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3308
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3309
3310
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3311
ignore list.
3312
3313
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3314
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3315
3316
IMPROVEMENTS:
3317
3318
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3319
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3320
3321
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3322
3323
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3324
3325
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3326
tree. (Robert Collins)
3327
3328
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3329
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3330
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3331
(Robert Collins)
3332
3333
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3334
that they be kept.
3335
3336
* Tweaks to short log printing
3337
3338
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3339
(Aaron Bentley)
3340
3341
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3342
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3343
3344
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3345
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3346
3347
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3348
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3349
3350
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3351
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3352
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3353
3354
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3355
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3356
3357
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3358
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3359
requests.
3360
3361
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3362
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3363
3364
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3365
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3366
3367
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3368
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3369
3370
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3371
(Denys Duchier)
3372
3373
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3374
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3375
3376
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3377
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3378
3379
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3380
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3381
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3382
3383
BUG FIXES:
3384
3385
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3386
3387
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3388
3389
* Error when run with -OO
3390
3391
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3392
(Martin Pool)
3393
3394
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3395
3396
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3397
3398
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3399
ignored by diff and status
3400
3401
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3402
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3403
3404
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3405
3406
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3407
3408
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3409
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3410
3411
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3412
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3413
3414
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3415
(Harald Meland)
3416
3417
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3418
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3419
3420
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3421
3422
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3423
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3424
3425
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3426
(Martin Pool)
3427
3428
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3429
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3430
3431
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3432
3433
TESTING:
3434
3435
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3436
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3437
3438
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3439
3440
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3441
3442
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3443
3444
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3445
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3446
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3447
3448
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3449
3450
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3451
(John Arbash Meinel)
3452
3453
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3454
3455
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3456
If adding a new test script please add that to
3457
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3458
3459
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3460
imported. (Martin Pool)
3461
3462
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3463
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3464
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3465
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3466
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3467
(Robert Collins)
3468
3469
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3470
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3471
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3472
3473
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3474
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3475
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3476
3477
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3478
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3479
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3480
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3481
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3482
(Robert Collins).
3483
3484
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3485
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3486
(Robert Collins).
3487
3488
INTERNALS:
3489
3490
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3491
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3492
3493
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3494
function. (Robert Collins)
3495
3496
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3497
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3498
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3499
3500
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3501
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3502
(Robert Collins)
3503
3504
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3505
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3506
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3507
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3508
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3509
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3510
version. (Robert Collins)
3511
3512
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3513
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3514
3515
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3516
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3517
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3518
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3519
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3520
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3521
3522
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3523
(Robert Collins)
3524
3525
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3526
3527
add()
3528
commit()
3529
move()
3530
rename_one()
3531
unknowns()
3532
3533
(Robert Collins)
3534
3535
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3536
3537
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3538
3539
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3540
Pool)
3541
3542
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3543
query method. (Robert Collins)
3544
3545
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3546
(Denys Duchier)
3547
3548
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3549
(Michael Ellerman)
3550
3551
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3552
(Michael Ellerman)
3553
3554
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3555
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3556
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3557
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3558
3559
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3560
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3561
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3562
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3563
3564
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3565
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3566

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3568
==================
3569
3570
IMPROVEMENTS:
3571
3572
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3573
(John A Meinel)
3574
3575
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3576
conflicts.
3577
(Aaron Bentley)
3578
3579
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3580
a separator, not ':'.
3581
(Aaron Bentley)
3582
3583
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3584
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3585
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3586
3587
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3588
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3589
(Robert Collins)
3590
3591
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3592
has been added that suppresses all output.
3593
3594
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3595
Adams.
3596
3597
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3598
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3599
3600
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3601
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3602
3603
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3604
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3605
3606
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3607
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3608
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3609
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3610
3611
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3612
3613
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3614
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3615
3616
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3617
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3618
3619
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3620
output directory, if one was supplied.
3621
3622
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3623
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3624
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3625
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3628
3629
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3630
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3631
3632
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3633
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3634
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3635
3636
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3637
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3638
3639
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3640
(Aaron Bentley)
3641
3642
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3643
3644
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3645
3646
TESTING:
3647
3648
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3649
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3650
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3651
3652
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3653
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3654
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3655
3656
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3657
is given. (Martin Pool)
3658
3659
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3660
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3661
file. (Robert Collins)
3662
3663
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3664
(Martin Pool)
3665
3666
INTERNALS:
3667
3668
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3669
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3670
representation. (Martin Pool).
3671
3672
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3673
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3674
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3675
3676
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3677
(Robert Collins)
3678
3679
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3680
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3681
Magnus Therning.
3682
3683
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3684
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3685
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3686
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3687
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3688
3689
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3690
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3691
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3692
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3693
python path. (Robert Collins)
3694
3695
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3696
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3697
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3698
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3699
3700
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3701
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3702
3703
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3704
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3705
(Robert Collins)
3706
3707
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3708
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3709
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3710
3711
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3712
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3713
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3714
3715
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3716
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3717
3718
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3719
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3720
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3721
(Robert Collins)
3722
3723
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3724
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3725
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3726
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3727
(Robert Collins)
3728
3729
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3730
(Robert Collins)
3731
3732
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3733
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3734
(Robert Collins)
3735
3736
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3737
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3738
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3739
3740
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3741
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3742
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3743
3744
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3745
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3746
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3747
3748
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3749
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3750
3751
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3752
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3753
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3754
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3755
caller. (Robert Collins)
3756
3757
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3758
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3759
(Robert Collins).
3760
3761
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3762
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3763
(Aaron Bentley)
3764
3765
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3766
3767
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3768
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3769
3770
BUG FIXES:
3771
3772
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3773
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3774
3775
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3776
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3777

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

BUG FIXES:
4218
4219
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4220
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4221
4222
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4223
metacharacters.
4224
4225
4226
TESTING:
4227
4228
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4229
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4230
the tests.
4231
4232
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4233
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4234
4235
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4236
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4237
4238
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4239
under a different version.
4240
4241
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4242
4243

4249
Scott James Remnant.
4250
4251
* Better help messages for many commands.
4252
4253
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4254
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4255
4256
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4257
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4258
4259
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4260
4261

4262
4263

4264
4265
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4266
4267

4275
=====================
4276
4277
ENHANCEMENTS:
4278
4279
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4280
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4281
4282
* More default ignore patterns.
4283
4284
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4285
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4286
4287
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4288
4289
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4290
by Jason Diamon.
4291
4292
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4293
4294
4295
CHANGES:
4296
4297
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4298
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4299
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4300
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4301
there are DNS problems.
4302
4303
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4304
4305
4306
BUG FIXES:
4307
4308
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4309
4310

4313
trailing newlines properly.
4314
4315
4316
INTERNAL:
4317
4318
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4319
Matt Brubeck.
4320
4321
* More tests in test.sh.
4322
4323
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4324
directory and delete it when done.
4325
4326
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4327
4328
4329
PORTABILITY:
4330
4331
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4332
Bennetts.
4333
4334
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4335
from QuantumG.

4357
4358
CHANGES:
4359
4360
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4361
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4362
will do for now.)
4363
4364
PORTABILITY:
4365
4366
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4367
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4368
Nielsen.

4399
* More help topics.
4400
4401
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4402
branch.
4403
4404
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4405
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4406
4407
* Performance improvements.
4408
4409
* New global --profile option.
4410
4411
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in

4436
installation easier.
4437
4438

4439
supported).
4440
