:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
16
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
17
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
18
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
19
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
20
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
21
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
24
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
25
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
27
(Parth Malwankar, #549310)
32
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
34
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
36
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
37
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
38
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
39
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
41
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
42
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
44
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
46
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
47
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
48
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
50
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
51
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
52
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
53
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
54
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
59
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
60
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
62
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
64
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
65
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
66
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
68
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
69
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
71
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
72
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
74
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
76
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
77
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
78
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
80
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
81
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
83
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
84
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
86
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
87
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
89
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
91
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
93
* Heavyweight checkout operation now shows a message to the user indicating
94
history is being copied.
95
(Parth Malwankar, #538868)
97
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
98
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
100
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
102
(Martin Pool, #491763)
104
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
105
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
107
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
108
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
110
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
112
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
113
(Robert Collins, #558343)
118
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
119
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
120
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
121
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
122
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
123
(case-sensitive) as false.
124
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
126
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
127
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
128
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
130
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
131
be interpreted as a boolean.
140
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
141
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
144
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
145
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
146
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
147
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
148
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
152
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
153
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
154
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
155
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
156
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
157
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
159
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
160
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
161
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
162
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
163
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
164
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
165
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
170
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
173
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
174
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
175
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
176
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
178
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
180
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
181
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
182
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
183
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
188
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
189
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
192
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
193
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
195
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
196
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
204
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
205
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
206
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
207
of these would be welcome.
213
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
214
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
219
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
220
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
221
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
222
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
225
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
226
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
227
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
228
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
230
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
231
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
233
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
234
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
235
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
237
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
238
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
240
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
243
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
246
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
247
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
248
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
250
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
251
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
252
which is not installed any more" error.
253
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
255
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
256
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
257
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
258
errors after two window resizes.
261
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
262
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
266
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
267
(Martin von Gagern, 387117)
272
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
273
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
274
(Robert Collins, #530265)
276
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
277
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
280
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
283
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
286
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
287
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
288
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
289
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
290
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
292
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
293
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
294
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
296
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
298
(Martin Pool, #553017)
303
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
304
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
307
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
308
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
313
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
314
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
315
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
316
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
327
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
328
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
330
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
331
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
334
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
335
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
337
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
338
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
340
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
341
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
342
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
343
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
344
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
347
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
348
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
349
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
354
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
355
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
357
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
358
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
359
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
361
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
362
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
363
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
364
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
365
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
367
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
368
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
371
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
372
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
375
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
376
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
377
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
378
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
379
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
382
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
383
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
386
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
387
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
388
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
391
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
392
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
397
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
398
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
400
* Allow additional arguments to
401
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
403
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
404
(Michal Junák, #511987)
406
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
407
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
408
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
409
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
411
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
414
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
415
(Martin Pool, #331095)
417
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
418
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
420
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
423
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
424
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
425
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
427
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
428
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
429
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
430
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
431
(Robert Collins, #396261)
433
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
434
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
437
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
438
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
440
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
441
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
442
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
444
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
445
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
446
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
448
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
449
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
451
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
453
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
454
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
456
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
457
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
458
(Martin Pool, #528722)
460
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
461
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
464
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
467
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
468
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
471
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
472
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
473
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
474
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
476
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
478
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
479
deletion is involved.
480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
482
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
483
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
484
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
486
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
487
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
488
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
490
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
491
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
493
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
494
the debugger won't kill the session.
495
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
497
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
498
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
500
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
501
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
502
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
504
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
505
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
510
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
511
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
514
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
515
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
517
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
518
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
520
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
521
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
522
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
523
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
525
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
526
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
527
to be done separately.
528
(Martin Pool, #507710)
530
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
531
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
534
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
535
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
537
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
538
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
540
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
543
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
549
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
550
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
552
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
553
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
554
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
556
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
557
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
558
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
559
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
562
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
563
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
565
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
566
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
568
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
569
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
575
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
576
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
577
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
579
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
582
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
583
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
586
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
587
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
588
dependency regressions.
591
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
592
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
594
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
595
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
597
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
598
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
599
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
600
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
601
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
602
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
607
:2.1.2: NOT RELEASED YET
612
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
613
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
615
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
617
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
619
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
620
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
621
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
622
errors after two window resizes.
628
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
629
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
630
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
631
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
633
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
641
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
642
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
647
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
648
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
649
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
650
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
652
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
653
(Martin Pool, #331095)
655
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
657
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
660
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
661
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
663
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
665
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
666
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
667
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
669
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
670
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
671
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
672
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
673
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
675
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
676
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
678
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
679
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
680
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
685
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
687
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
689
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
690
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
695
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
696
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
697
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
698
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
704
:Codename: Strasbourg
707
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
708
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
709
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
711
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
712
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
713
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
714
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
715
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
716
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
718
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
723
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
724
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
726
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
727
(Martin Pool, #513432)
729
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
730
when it encounters conflicts.
731
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
733
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
734
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
736
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
737
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
738
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
739
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
740
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
741
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
743
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
744
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
745
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
750
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
756
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
757
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
760
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
761
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
764
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
765
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
767
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
768
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
769
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
770
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
771
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
772
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
773
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
774
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
776
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
783
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
784
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
785
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
787
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
792
* The ``remove_index`` method of
793
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
794
argument. This argument was always ignored.
795
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
800
:Codename: after the bubbles
801
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
803
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
804
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
809
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
810
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
811
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
812
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
813
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
814
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
815
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
821
:Codename: the 'new' stable
822
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
824
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
825
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
826
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
827
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
828
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
829
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
830
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
831
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
832
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
838
* Add bug information to log output when available.
839
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
841
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
842
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
845
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
846
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
847
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
850
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
851
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
853
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
854
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
856
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
857
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
858
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
860
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
861
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
862
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
865
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
866
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
867
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
869
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
870
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
871
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
872
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
873
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
874
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
876
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
877
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
878
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
879
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
880
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
885
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
886
user-specified commit message editor.
887
(Martin Pool, #504842)
889
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
890
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
891
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
893
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
894
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
895
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
897
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
898
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
900
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
901
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
902
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
903
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
904
another process already removed the file.
905
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
907
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
908
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
910
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
911
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
912
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
914
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
915
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
917
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
920
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
923
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
924
(Martin Pool, #320035)
926
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
927
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
928
depended on this behaviour.
929
(Martin Pool, #499757)
931
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
932
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
933
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
934
should appear up-to-date.)
935
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
940
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
941
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
942
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
943
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
945
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
946
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
948
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
949
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
950
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
952
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
953
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
954
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
956
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
959
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
960
Bazaar is doing network IO.
966
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
967
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
969
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
970
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
972
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
973
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
975
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
976
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
978
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
979
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
980
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
982
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
985
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
986
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
992
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
995
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
996
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
997
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
998
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1000
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1001
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1002
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1004
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1005
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1007
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1008
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1009
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1010
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1012
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1018
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1019
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1020
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1022
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1023
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1024
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1025
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1027
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1028
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1033
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1034
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1035
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1036
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1037
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1039
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1040
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1041
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1042
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1043
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1044
suite. (Robert Collins)
1046
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1047
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1048
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1050
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1051
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
1057
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
1062
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
1063
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
1064
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1066
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1067
both working tree and branch.
1068
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1070
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1071
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1072
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1074
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1075
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1076
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1077
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1078
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1085
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1086
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1087
earlier 2.0 releases.
1092
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1093
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1095
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1096
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1097
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1098
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1099
another process already removed the file.
1100
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1102
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1103
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1105
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1107
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1108
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1109
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1111
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
1113
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1114
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1116
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1117
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1118
``UnboundLocalError``.
1119
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1121
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1122
version number along with rest of the help text.
1123
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1125
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
1127
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
1132
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
1133
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
1135
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1136
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1142
:Codename: smooth sailing
1145
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
1146
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
1147
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
1148
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
1154
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
1155
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
1157
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
1158
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
1159
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
1160
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
1162
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
1163
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
1164
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
1165
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
1166
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
1168
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
1169
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
1170
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
1172
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
1173
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
1174
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
1175
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
1177
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
1178
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
1180
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
1181
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
1182
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
1183
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
1184
(Martin Pool, #456077)
1186
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
1187
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
1188
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
1189
users, rather than something nicer.
1190
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
1192
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
1193
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
1195
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
1196
build. (there is still the distutils bug
1197
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
1199
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
1200
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
1201
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
1203
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
1204
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
1205
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
1206
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
1207
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
1209
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
1210
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
1211
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
1216
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
1217
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
1218
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
1219
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
1228
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
1229
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
1230
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
1231
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
1232
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
1233
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
1236
Compatibility Breaks
1237
********************
1239
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
1240
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
1241
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
1242
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
1243
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
1248
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
1249
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
1251
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
1252
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
1254
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
1255
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
1257
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
1258
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
1259
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
1260
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
1264
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
1265
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
1273
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
1274
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
1275
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
1277
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
1278
and issues a warning.
1279
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
1281
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
1283
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
1284
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
1286
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
1287
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
1288
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
1289
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
1291
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1293
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
1294
(Robert Collins, #84659)
1296
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
1298
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
1299
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
1301
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1303
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1304
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1306
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1307
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1308
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1309
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1311
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1312
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1314
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1315
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1317
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1318
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1319
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1321
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1322
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1323
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1324
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1326
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1327
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1328
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1330
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1331
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1332
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1333
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1335
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1336
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
1337
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
1343
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1345
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1346
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1348
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1349
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1350
(John Arbash Meinel)
1352
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1353
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1356
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1357
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1358
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1359
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1360
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
1365
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
1371
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
1373
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
1374
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
1375
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
1381
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1382
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1383
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1384
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1386
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1387
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1388
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1389
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1390
(John Arbash Meinel)
1392
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1393
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1394
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1395
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1396
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1397
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1402
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
1403
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
1409
:Codename: little italy
1413
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
1414
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
1420
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
1421
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
1422
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1424
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
1425
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
1427
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1428
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
1429
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
1430
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
1432
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1438
:Codename: after sprint recovery
1439
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1441
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1442
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1443
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1444
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1446
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1447
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1448
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1449
formats for Remote objects.
1455
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1456
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1461
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1463
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1465
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1466
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1468
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1470
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1471
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1472
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1473
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1474
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1475
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1477
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1478
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1479
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1480
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1482
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1483
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1485
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1486
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1488
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1489
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1490
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1491
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1492
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1493
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1494
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1496
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1497
(Alexander Belchenko)
1499
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1500
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1505
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1507
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1508
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1509
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1511
(Martin Pool, 493944)
1516
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1517
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1518
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1523
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1524
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1526
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1527
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1529
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1530
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1532
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1533
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1535
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1536
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1537
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1538
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1540
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1541
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1543
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1544
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1545
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1546
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1548
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1549
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1550
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1551
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
1558
:Codename: a load off my mind
1559
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
1561
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1562
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1564
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1565
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1566
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1567
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1568
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1571
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1572
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1573
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1574
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1575
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1576
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1581
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1582
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1584
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1585
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1586
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1587
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
1589
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1590
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1592
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1593
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1594
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1595
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
1597
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
1598
files. (Aaron Bentley)
1600
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
1601
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
1606
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
1607
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
1608
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
1609
(John Arbash Meinel)
1611
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
1612
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
1613
(John Arbash Meinel)
1618
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1619
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1624
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
1626
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
1627
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
1633
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1634
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1635
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1636
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1637
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1638
(John Arbash Meinel)
1640
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1641
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1642
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1643
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1644
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1645
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1646
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1647
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1648
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1650
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1651
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1652
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1653
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1654
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1655
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1656
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1658
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1659
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1660
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1661
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
1667
:Codename: after the scare
1670
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
1671
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
1672
changes or features.
1677
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
1678
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
1680
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
1683
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1685
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
1686
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
1687
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
1689
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
1690
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
1692
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
1693
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
1695
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
1696
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
1701
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
1702
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1707
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1708
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1714
:Codename: While the cat is away
1715
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1717
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1718
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1719
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1720
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1721
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1722
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1723
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1725
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1726
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1727
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1728
error handling during unlocking.
1734
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1737
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1738
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1739
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1740
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1741
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1742
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1744
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1745
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1746
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1748
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1749
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1752
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1753
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1754
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1756
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1757
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1760
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1761
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
1762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
1767
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1768
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1769
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1770
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1771
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1772
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1773
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1775
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1776
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1777
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1779
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1780
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1781
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1784
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1785
merges are present in the working tree.
1786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1788
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1789
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1791
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1792
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1794
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1795
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1797
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1798
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1801
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1802
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1804
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1805
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1807
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1810
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1811
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1812
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
1817
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1818
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1819
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1821
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1822
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1823
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1824
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1825
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1826
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1827
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
1828
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1830
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1831
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1832
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1833
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
1834
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
1839
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1841
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1842
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1847
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1848
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1850
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1851
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1853
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1854
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1855
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1857
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1860
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1861
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1862
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1863
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1864
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1866
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1868
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1874
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1875
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1878
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1879
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1880
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1881
(John Arbash Meinel)
1883
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1884
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1890
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1891
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1893
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1894
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1896
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1897
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1900
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1904
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1905
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1907
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1908
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1909
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1911
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1912
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1913
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1914
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1915
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1917
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1918
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1920
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1921
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
1927
:Codename: Stability First
1930
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
1931
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
1932
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
1938
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1939
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1940
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1942
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
1943
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
1944
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
1946
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1947
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1948
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1950
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1951
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1953
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1954
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1955
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1956
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
1957
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
1959
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1960
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1962
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1963
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1964
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1965
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
1967
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1968
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1969
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1971
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1972
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1973
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1974
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1975
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1976
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1977
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1979
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1980
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1982
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1983
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1984
to download the entire cix file many times.
1985
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1987
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
1988
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
1993
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1995
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
2003
:Codename: Instant Karma
2005
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2006
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2007
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2008
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2009
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2012
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2013
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2015
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2016
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2017
months or until the following stable release.
2019
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2020
******************************
2022
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2023
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2024
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2025
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2031
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
2036
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2037
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
2038
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
2043
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2044
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2045
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2046
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2047
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2048
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2049
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2051
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2052
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2053
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2055
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2056
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2058
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2059
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2060
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2062
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2063
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2065
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2066
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2067
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2068
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2069
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2070
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2071
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2073
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2074
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2075
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2076
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2077
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2078
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2080
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2081
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2082
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2084
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2085
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2086
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2088
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2089
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2090
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2092
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2093
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2095
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2096
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2097
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
2098
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
2103
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
2104
older smart servers.
2105
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
2107
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2108
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2110
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2111
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2112
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2114
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2115
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2116
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
2118
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
2119
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2125
:Codename: no worries
2126
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
2128
Compatibility Breaks
2129
********************
2131
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2132
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2133
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2134
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2135
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2137
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2138
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
2139
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
2140
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
2145
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
2146
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2151
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2152
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2154
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
2155
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
2156
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
2157
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
2158
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
2160
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
2161
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
2162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
2164
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2167
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
2168
(Martin Pool, #286871)
2170
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
2171
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
2172
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
2174
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
2175
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
2176
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
2177
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
2182
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2183
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2184
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2186
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
2187
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
2188
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
2189
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
2191
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
2193
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
2194
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2196
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
2197
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2199
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
2200
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
2201
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
2203
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
2204
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
2205
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
2206
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
2207
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
2208
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
2213
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
2219
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2220
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2221
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2229
:Codename: nein nein nein!
2232
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
2233
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
2234
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
2235
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
2236
pushing to older servers.
2241
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
2242
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
2243
(Martin Pool, #415508)
2245
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
2246
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
2247
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
2252
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
2253
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2255
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
2256
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2261
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2262
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2263
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2265
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
2266
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
2267
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
2269
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
2270
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
2271
should be used. (Robert Collins)
2276
Compatibility Breaks
2277
********************
2279
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
2280
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
2281
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
2282
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
2283
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
2291
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2292
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2293
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
2294
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
2295
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
2297
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2300
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
2301
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
2303
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2304
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2306
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2307
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2308
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2309
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2311
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
2312
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2313
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
2315
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2316
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
2318
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2319
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
2320
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
2321
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
2326
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2327
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2328
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2330
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2331
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2332
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2333
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
2334
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2336
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2337
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2338
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
2339
(John Arbash Meinel)
2350
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
2351
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2352
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2353
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2354
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2355
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2357
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
2358
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
2359
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2360
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
2362
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
2363
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
2364
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
2365
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
2366
(John Arbash Meinel)
2368
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
2369
protocols. (Robert Collins)
2371
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
2372
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
2373
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
2374
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
2380
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
2381
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

2389
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
2391
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2392
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2393
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2394
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2395
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2396
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2398
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2399
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2400
or until the following stable release.
2402
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
2407
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2408
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2410
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2411
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2412
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2417
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2418
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2419
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2421
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2422
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2423
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2424
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2426
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2427
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2428
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2429
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2431
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2432
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2434
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2435
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2436
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2437
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2439
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2440
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2442
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2443
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2445
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2446
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2447
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2448
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2449
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2451
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2452
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2453
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2455
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2456
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2457
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2458
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2459
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2461
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2462
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2464
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2465
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2466
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2468
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2469
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2470
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2472
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2473
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2475
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2476
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2477
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2479
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2480
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2482
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2483
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2485
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2486
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2488
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2489
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2490
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2492
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2493
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2494
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2496
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2498
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2499
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2501
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2502
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2503
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2504
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2505
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2506
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2508
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2509
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2510
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2512
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2513
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2514
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2515
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2517
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2518
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2519
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2520
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2521
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2523
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2524
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2525
(Robert Collins, #187207)
2530
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2533
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2534
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2535
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2536
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2538
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2539
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
2540
(John Arbash Meinel)
2545
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2550
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
2551
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2552
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2553
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2554
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2555
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2557
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2560
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2563
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2567
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2568
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
2573
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2574
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2575
paths. (Robert Collins)
2577
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2578
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2580
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2581
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2582
disk. (Robert Collins)
2584
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2585
it. (Robert Collins)
2587
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2588
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
2589
(Alexander Belchenko)
2595
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
2596
(Martin Pool, #409684)
2598
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
2599
(Martin Pool, #408199)
2601
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2602
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2603
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2604
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
2605
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
2606
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
2609
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
2610
#######################
2615
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2616
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2617
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2622
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
2623
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
2627
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2628
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2631
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
2632
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
2633
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
2634
annoying progress bar artifacts.
2637
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
2638
*********************************
2640
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
2641
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2642
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
2644
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
2645
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
2646
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
2648
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
2649
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
2652
Compatibility Breaks
2653
********************
2655
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
2656
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
2657
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
2658
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
2664
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2665
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2666
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2667
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2669
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2670
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2671
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2673
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2674
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2675
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2679
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2680
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2681
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2682
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2688
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2689
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2691
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2692
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2693
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2694
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2696
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2697
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2699
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2700
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2701
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2703
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2704
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2706
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2707
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2709
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2710
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2712
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2713
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2714
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2716
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2719
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2720
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2722
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2723
of a remote repository.
2724
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2726
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
2727
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2730
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2732
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2734
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2735
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2737
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2738
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2740
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2741
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2742
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2744
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2745
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2746
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2747
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2748
(John Arbash Meinel)
2750
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2751
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2752
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2754
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2755
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2756
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2757
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2758
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2759
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2761
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2762
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2763
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2764
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2765
activity display respectively.
2766
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2768
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2769
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2771
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2774
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
2775
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
2781
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2782
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2783
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2784
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2786
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2787
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2788
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2789
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2792
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2793
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2795
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2796
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2797
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2798
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2799
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2800
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2802
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2803
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2804
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2805
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2807
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2808
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2809
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2810
(John Arbash Meinel)
2813
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2814
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2815
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2816
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2822
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2823
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2824
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2825
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2827
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2828
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2829
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2831
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2834
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2835
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2837
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2838
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2839
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2841
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2842
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2843
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2844
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2846
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2852
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2853
formatting in the user reference.
2854
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2856
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
2862
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2865
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2866
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2867
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

2875
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2876
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2877
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2880
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2881
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2882
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2884
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2885
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2890
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2891
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2893
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2894
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2895
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2897
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2898
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2899
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2900
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2901
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2902
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2903
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2905
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2906
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2907
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2909
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2910
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2911
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2913
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2914
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2915
that. (Robert Collins)
2917
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2918
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2919
repository. (Robert Collins)
2921
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2922
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2923
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2924
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
2934
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
2935
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
2936
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
2937
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
2939
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
2940
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
2941
bug fixes and improvements.
2944
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
2945
*********************************
2947
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
2948
2a can work correctly.
2949
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
2951
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2952
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2953
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2956
Compatibility Breaks
2957
********************
2959
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
2960
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
2961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
2967
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2968
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2969
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2970
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2971
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2972
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2975
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2976
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2977
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2978
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2980
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2981
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2983
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2984
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2986
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2987
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2988
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2990
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2991
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
2997
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2998
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2999
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3001
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3002
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3003
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3004
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3005
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3007
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3008
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3009
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3010
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3012
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3013
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3019
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3020
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3021
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
3022
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3028
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
3029
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
3031
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3032
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
3034
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3035
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3036
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3038
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3039
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3041
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3042
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3043
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3045
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3046
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3047
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3048
(John Arbash Meinel)
3050
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3051
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
3053
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
3054
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
3056
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3057
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3059
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3060
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3061
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3062
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3063
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3064
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3066
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3068
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3069
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3071
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3072
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3074
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3075
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3076
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3077
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3078
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3080
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3081
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3082
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3083
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3088
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
3089
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
3090
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
3095
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
3097
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
3098
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
3099
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3101
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
3102
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
3103
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
3105
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
3106
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3108
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
3109
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
3114
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
3115
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3120
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
3121
(Martin Pool, #386180)
3123
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
3125
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3127
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
3132
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
3136
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
3137
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
3138
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
3139
revisions introduce the exact same line.
3141
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
3142
*****************************
3144
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
3145
(Alexander Belchenko)
3147
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
3148
*********************************
3150
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3151
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3152
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3153
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3155
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
3156
*********************************
3160
Compatibility Breaks
3161
********************
3163
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
3164
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
3165
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
3166
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
3171
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3172
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3175
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
3176
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
3177
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
3178
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3180
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
3181
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
3182
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
3183
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
3185
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3186
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3189
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
3190
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
3191
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3196
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
3197
server. (Jonathan Lange)
3199
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
3200
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
3202
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
3203
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
3204
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
3206
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
3211
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
3212
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
3214
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
3216
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
3217
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
3219
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
3220
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
3222
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
3223
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
3225
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
3226
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
3227
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
3228
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
3230
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
3231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
3233
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3234
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3236
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
3237
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
3239
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
3240
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
3242
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
3243
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
3245
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
3246
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
3248
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
3249
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3251
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
3252
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
3253
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
3254
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
3255
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
3256
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
3257
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
3258
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
3259
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
3260
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
3261
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
3262
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
3263
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
3264
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
3266
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
3267
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
3268
(Robert Collins, #368921)
3270
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
3271
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
3279
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
3280
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
3281
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
3283
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
3284
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
3285
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
3286
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
3287
(Alexander Belchenko)
3292
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
3293
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
3294
encoding. (Robert Collins)
3296
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
3297
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
3300
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
3301
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
3302
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
3303
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
3304
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3306
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3307
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3308
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3310
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3311
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3312
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3313
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3315
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3316
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3317
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3319
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3320
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3322
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3323
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3324
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3325
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3327
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3328
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3329
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3331
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3332
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3334
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3335
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3336
branches. (Robert Collins)
3338
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3339
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3341
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3346
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3347
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

3419
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3420
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3421
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3422
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3423
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3426
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3429
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3430
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3432
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3433
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3434
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3435
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3436
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3438
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3439
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3441
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3444
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3445
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3446
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3447
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3450
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3451
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3452
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3453
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3454
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3456
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3457
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3460
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3466
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3467
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3468
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3470
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3471
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3472
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3473
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3474
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3476
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3477
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3480
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3481
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3482
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3484
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3487
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3490
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3491
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3493
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3494
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3496
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3497
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3499
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3500
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3503
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3504
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3505
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3507
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3508
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3509
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3512
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3513
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3514
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3515
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3517
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3518
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3519
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3520
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3521
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3522
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3523
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3524
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3525
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3527
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
3533
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3534
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3535
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3536
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3537
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3538
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3539
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3541
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3542
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3544
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3545
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3546
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3547
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3549
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3550
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3552
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3554
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3557
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3558
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3559
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3561
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3562
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3564
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3565
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3567
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3568
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3569
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3571
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3572
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3573
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3574
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3576
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3578
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3581
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3582
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3583
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3584
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3585
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3587
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3588
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3589
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3590
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3591
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3592
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3593
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3595
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3596
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3598
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3599
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3602
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3603
(James Westby, #341558)
3605
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3606
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
3608
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
3609
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
3614
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
3616
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
3618
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
3619
(James Westby, #336998)
3624
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3627
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3628
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3631
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3632
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3635
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3636
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3637
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3639
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3640
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3641
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3643
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3644
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3645
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3646
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3649
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3650
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3653
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3656
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3657
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3659
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3660
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3661
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3662
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3664
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3665
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3666
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3671
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3672
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3673
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3674
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3675
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3677
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3678
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3680
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3681
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3682
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3683
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3689
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3690
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3692
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3693
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3695
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3696
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3697
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3699
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3700
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3701
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3702
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3704
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3705
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3706
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3707
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3709
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3710
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3711
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3713
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3714
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3715
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3717
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3718
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3719
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3721
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3722
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3725
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3726
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3727
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3729
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3730
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3732
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3733
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3734
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3736
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3737
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3740
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3741
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3742
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3744
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3745
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3746
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3747
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3748
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3750
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3751
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3752
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3753
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3755
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3756
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3757
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3758
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3760
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3761
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3762
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3764
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3765
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3768
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3769
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3770
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3772
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3773
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3774
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3775
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3776
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3778
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3779
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3780
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3783
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3784
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3785
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3786
desired. (Robert Collins)
3788
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3789
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3790
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3791
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3793
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3794
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3795
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3812
*****************************
3814
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3815
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3816
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3817
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3818
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3819
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3825
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
3826
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
3827
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3829
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
3830
********************************
3832
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
3833
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
3834
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
3839
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
3840
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
3842
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
3843
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
3845
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
3846
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
3848
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3850
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
3851
*********************************
3853
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3854
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3855
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3857
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3858
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3860
Compatibility Breaks
3861
********************
3863
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
3864
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
3865
command may need to be adjusted.
3866
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3871
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3872
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3873
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
3875
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
3878
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3879
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3880
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
3883
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
3884
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
3886
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
3887
(John Arbash Meinel)
3889
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
3890
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
3892
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
3894
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
3895
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
3898
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
3904
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3905
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3906
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3907
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3908
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3909
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3910
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
3911
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
3914
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3915
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3917
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3918
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3919
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3921
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3922
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3924
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3925
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3926
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3929
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3930
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3931
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3933
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3934
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3935
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3936
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3938
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3941
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3942
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3944
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3945
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3947
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3948
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3949
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3951
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
3956
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3957
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3959
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3960
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3961
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3963
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3964
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3967
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3968
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3970
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3971
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3974
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3975
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3976
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3978
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3979
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3981
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3982
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3984
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3985
(James Westby, #174539)
3987
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3988
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3990
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3991
error branching from old repositories.
3992
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3994
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3995
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3997
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3998
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3999
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4000
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4002
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4003
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4006
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4007
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4009
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4010
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4012
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4013
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4014
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4016
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4017
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4019
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
4020
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
4025
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
4026
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
4027
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4030
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4031
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4033
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
4034
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
4039
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4040
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4041
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4042
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4043
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4045
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4046
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4048
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4049
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4050
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4051
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4052
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4053
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4055
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4056
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4058
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4059
"author" argument being deprecated.
4061
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4063
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4064
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4065
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4066
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4068
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4069
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4070
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4072
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4073
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4074
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4076
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4077
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4079
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4080
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4081
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4082
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4087
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4088
free of virtual file system methods.
4089
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4091
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4092
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4093
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4095
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4096
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4097
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4098
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4099
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4100
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4102
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4104
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4105
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4107
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4108
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4109
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4110
stream the operation.
4111
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4113
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4114
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4116
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4117
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4118
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4119
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4120
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4122
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4123
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4125
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4126
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4127
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4129
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4130
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4133
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4136
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4137
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4138
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4140
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4141
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4142
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4144
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4145
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
4146
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4148
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
4149
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
4150
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4152
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
4153
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
4154
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
4155
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
4156
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
4158
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
4159
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
4160
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
4161
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
4162
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
4163
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
4165
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
4166
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
4167
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
4168
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
4169
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4171
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
4172
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4174
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
4175
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
4177
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
4178
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
4179
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
4180
to access private data in record to obtain content more
4181
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4183
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
4184
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
4193
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
4195
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
4196
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
4197
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
4198
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
4199
by showing the rate of network IO.
4201
Changes from RC1 to Final
4202
*************************
4204
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
4205
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
4207
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
4208
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4210
Compatibility Breaks
4211
********************
4213
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
4214
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
4215
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
4216
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
4218
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
4219
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
4220
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
4223
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
4224
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
4225
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
4226
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4228
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
4229
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
4230
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
4233
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4238
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
4239
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
4240
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
4243
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
4244
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
4245
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
4247
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
4248
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
4249
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
4250
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
4251
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
4252
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
4253
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
4254
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
4255
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
4261
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
4264
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
4267
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
4268
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
4269
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
4271
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
4272
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
4273
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
4274
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
4275
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
4277
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
4278
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
4280
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
4281
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
4282
level for better precision.
4285
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
4286
rules. (Marius Kruger)
4288
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
4289
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
4290
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4292
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4293
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4294
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4297
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4298
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4299
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4304
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4306
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4308
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4309
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4310
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4312
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4313
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4314
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4315
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4316
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4317
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4319
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4320
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4322
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4323
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4325
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4326
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4327
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4329
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4330
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4331
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4334
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4335
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4337
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4338
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4339
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4340
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4342
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4343
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4345
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4347
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
4352
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4357
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
4358
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
4361
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4362
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4364
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4365
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4367
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
4368
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4370
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4371
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
4372
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4373
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4375
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
4376
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
4377
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
4382
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4383
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4384
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4385
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4386
compile buffers, are such an example).
4389
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4390
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4393
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4394
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4395
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4398
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4399
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4401
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4402
formatters to retrict the output.
4409
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4410
:Released: 2009-01-19
4412
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4413
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4414
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4415
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4416
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4418
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4419
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4422
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4423
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
4428
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
4431
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
4432
(John Arbash Meinel)
4439
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4440
:Released: 2009-01-09
4445
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
4446
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4451
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4452
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4454
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4455
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4456
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4457
implement other plugins.
4460
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
4466
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4467
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4469
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4470
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4472
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4473
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4474
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4475
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4478
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4479
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4480
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4481
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4482
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4484
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4485
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4486
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4487
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4488
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
4493
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4494
control directory. (#139691)
4496
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4497
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4499
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4500
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4502
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4503
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4504
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4506
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4507
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
4509
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
4510
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4511
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4513
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
4514
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
4516
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
4519
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
4520
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
4521
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
4523
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4524
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4526
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4527
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4528
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4530
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4531
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4532
in the appropriate sections.
4533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4535
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4536
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4537
(John Arbash meinel)
4539
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
4542
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
4543
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
4545
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4546
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4548
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4549
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4550
work better with how it splits its requests.
4551
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
4553
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4554
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4555
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4557
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
4560
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
4562
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
4563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
4565
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
4571
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
4572
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
4573
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
4579
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4580
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4581
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4582
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4584
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4585
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4587
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4588
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4589
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4590
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4592
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4593
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4594
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
4595
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4600
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
4601
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4602
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4604
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4605
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4606
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4607
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4609
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4610
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4611
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
4617
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
4618
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4619
(John Arbash Meinel)
4621
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4622
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4623
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4624
(John Arbash Meinel)
4626
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4627
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4628
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4629
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4631
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4632
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4633
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4635
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4636
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4637
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4638
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4640
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4641
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4642
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4643
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4644
(John Arbash Meinel)
4646
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4647
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4649
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4650
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4651
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4653
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4654
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4655
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4656
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4658
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4659
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4660
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4661
(John Arbash Meinel)
4663
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4664
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4665
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4666
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4667
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4668
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4669
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4671
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4672
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
4679
:Released: 2008-12-05
4681
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4682
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4683
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4684
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4687
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
4692
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
4693
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
4694
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
4695
(Martin Pool, #303856)
4697
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
4698
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4699
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
4700
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
4701
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
4707
:Released: 2008-11-28
4709
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4710
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4711
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4712
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4713
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
4718
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
4719
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4721
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
4727
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4728
history just to set the last revision info.
4729
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4731
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4732
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4733
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4734
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4736
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4737
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4738
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4739
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4740
(John Arbash Meinel)
4742
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4743
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4745
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4746
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4747
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4748
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4749
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4751
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4752
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4753
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4754
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
4759
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
4760
(Martin Pool, #289148)
4762
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
4763
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4765
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4766
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4767
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
4768
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
4770
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
4771
starting with a dotted revno.
4772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
4774
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4775
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4776
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4778
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4779
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4780
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4782
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4783
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4784
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4786
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4787
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4788
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4789
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4791
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4792
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4793
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4795
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
4796
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
4801
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4802
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4803
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4804
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4806
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4807
have changed incompatibly.
4809
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4810
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4811
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4812
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4813
don't need to change.
4815
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
4816
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
4821
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
4822
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
4824
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
4830
:Released: 2008-11-07
4832
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
4833
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
4834
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4835
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4836
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4837
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
4842
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
4843
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
4845
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
4847
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
4848
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
4849
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
4855
:Released: 2008-10-31
4860
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4861
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4863
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4864
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4865
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4866
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4871
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4872
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4873
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4874
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4875
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4876
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4878
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4879
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4881
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4882
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4883
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4885
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4886
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4887
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4890
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4891
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4893
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4894
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4896
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4897
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4899
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4900
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4901
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4902
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4903
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4904
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4905
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4906
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4907
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4908
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4913
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4914
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4916
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4917
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4919
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4920
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4921
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4923
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4924
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4925
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4927
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4928
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4929
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4931
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4932
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4933
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4934
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4935
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4936
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4938
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4939
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4941
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4942
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4944
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4945
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4946
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4947
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4948
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4950
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4951
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4952
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4953
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4958
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
4963
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
4968
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
4969
configuration of authetication credentials.

:Released: 2008-10-16
4977
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
4978
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
4979
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
4980
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
4981
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
4986
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
4987
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
4992
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
4993
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
4999
:Released: 2008-10-07
5004
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5005
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5006
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5007
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5008
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5010
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
5011
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
5013
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
5014
server. (Marius Kruger)
5016
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5017
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5018
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5019
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5020
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
5021
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
5026
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
5027
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
5028
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
5030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
5035
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5036
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5037
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5038
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5040
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5041
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5044
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
5045
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
5048
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
5051
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
5053
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
5054
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
5056
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5057
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5059
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5060
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5061
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5062
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5063
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5064
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5065
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5066
operations. (Robert Collins)
5068
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
5070
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
5071
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
5072
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
5077
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
5078
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
5079
(Martin Pool, #279381)
5081
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5082
repository now preserves the repository format.
5083
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5085
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
5086
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
5088
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
5089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
5091
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
5093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
5095
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
5099
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.

* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
5103
is in a different repository than the current one.
5104
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
5106
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
5107
(David Futcher, #242106)
5109
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
5110
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5112
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
5113
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
5114
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
5115
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
5117
* Trivial documentation fix.
5118
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
5120
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5121
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5122
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5123
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5128
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
5133
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
5134
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
5135
to use. (Robert Collins)
5137
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
5138
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
5139
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
5141
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
5142
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
5143
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
5144
they want. (Robert Collins)
5149
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
5150
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
5151
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
5153
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
5154
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
5157
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
5160
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
5161
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
5163
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
5169
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
5170
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
5172
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
5173
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
5174
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
5176
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
5177
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
5178
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
5180
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
5181
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5183
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
5184
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
5186
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
5187
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
5189
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
5190
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
5191
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
5192
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
5200

5202
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
5208
:Released: 2008-09-24
5210
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
5211
file paths when we encounter complex history.
5216
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
5217
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
5218
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
5219
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
5220
(John Arbash Meinel)
5226
:Released: 2008-09-23
5228
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
5229
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
5230
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
5231
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
5232
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
5233
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
5238
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
5239
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
5240
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
5246
:Released: 2008-09-17
5248
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
5249
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
5250
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
5251
connect to the stacked-on location.
5256
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5257
repository now preserves the repository format.
5258
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5260
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
5261
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
5263
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
5266
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5273
:Released: 2008-09-09
5275
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
5276
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
5277
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
5278
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
5279
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
5280
it in a future repository format.
5286
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
5289
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
5290
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
5291
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
5293
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
5294
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
5295
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
5300
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
5301
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
5303
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
5308
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
5309
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
5312
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
5313
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5315
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5316
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5319
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5320
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5321
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5322
(John Arbash Meinel)
5324
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5325
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5327
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5328
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5329
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5330
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5331
(John Arbash Meinel)
5333
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5334
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5335
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5336
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5337
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5338
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5339
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5340
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5341
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5342
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5347
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
5348
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
5350
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5351
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5352
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
5354
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5355
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5356
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5358
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5359
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5360
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5361
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5362
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5363
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5365
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5366
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
5368
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
5369
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
5371
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
5372
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
5373
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
5374
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
5375
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
5376
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
5378
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
5379
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
5381
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
5382
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
5384
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
5385
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
5386
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5387
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5389
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5390
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5392
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5393
assuming the host name is ascii.
5394
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
5396
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
5397
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
5402
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5407
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
5409
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
5410
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
5411
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
5414
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
5415
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5417
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
5418
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5420
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
5421
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5426
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
5427
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
5428
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
5429
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
5431
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
5435
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
5436
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
5437
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5439
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
5445
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
5446
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
5449
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
5450
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
5451
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
5452
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
5453
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5455
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
5456
is unknown in both source and target.
5457
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
5459
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
5460
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
5461
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
5462
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5464
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5465
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
5466
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
5467
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

5475
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
5476
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
5477
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
5483
:Released: 2008-09-03
5488
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
5489
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
5490
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
5491
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
5497
:Released: 2008-08-29
5499
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5500
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5501
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5502
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5503
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5504
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5505
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5506
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5507
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5508
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5509
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5510
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5515
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5516
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5517
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5518
start of the string (causing more copies).
5519
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5520
especially for projects with large files.
5521
(John Arbash Meinel)
5523
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5524
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5525
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5526
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5527
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5529
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5530
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5531
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5532
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5533
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5543
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5544
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5545
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5546
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5547
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5548
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5549
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5550
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
5556
:Released: 2008-08-19
5561
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
5562
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
5563
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
5564
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
5565
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
5571
:Released: 2008-08-18
5576
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
5577
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
5578
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
5584
:Released: 2008-08-14
5589
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
5590
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
5596
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
5597
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
5598
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
5604
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
5605
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
5606
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
5608
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
5609
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
5610
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
5611
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
5612
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
5613
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
5614
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
5620
:Released: 2008-08-13
5622
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
5628
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
5629
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
5631
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
5632
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
5635
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
5636
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
5637
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
5638
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
5639
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
5641
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
5642
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5644
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
5645
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
5647
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
5648
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
5650
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
5651
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
5652
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
5653
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
5654
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
5655
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
5661
:Released: 2008-08-06
5663
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
5664
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
5665
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
5666
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
5667
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
5672
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
5673
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
5674
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
5679
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
5680
check. (Daniel Watkins)
5682
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
5683
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
5685
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
5686
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
5687
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5689
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
5692
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
5693
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
5694
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
5695
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
5696
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
5697
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
5698
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5700
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
5701
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
5702
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
5707
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
5708
physical repository boundaries.
5709
(Martin Pool, #252428)
5711
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
5712
(Martin Pool, #206258)
5714
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
5715
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
5718
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
5721
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
5722
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
5723
that Python is running from.
5724
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
5726
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
5727
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
5728
(Robert Collins, #150438)
5730
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.

* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
5734
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
5735
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
5737
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
5738
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
5740
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
5741
(James Westby, #248448)
5746
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
5747
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
5748
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
5751
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
5752
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
5755
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
5756
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
5757
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
5758
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
5759
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
5760
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
5763
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
5764
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5766
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
5767
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
5768
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
5769
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
5770
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
5771
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
5776
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
5777
putting together a real history without having to create a full
5778
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
5779
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
5780
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
5781
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5783
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
5784
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
5785
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
5787
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
5790
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
5791
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
5793
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
5800
:Released: 2008-07-17
5802
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5803
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5804
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5805
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5811
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5812
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5813
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
5815
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
5816
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
5817
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
5818
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
5819
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
5822
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
5824
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
5825
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
5826
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
5832
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
5833
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
5836
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
5837
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
5838
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
5839
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
5841
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
5842
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
5843
(Christophe Troestler)
5845
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
5846
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
5848
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
5849
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
5850
faster. The new request method name is
5851
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5856
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
5857
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
5858
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
5859
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
5860
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
5862
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
5863
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
5865
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
5866
requires a branch to be present.
5867
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
5869
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
5871
(Martin Pool, #205230)
5873
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
5874
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
5875
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
5876
(Martin Pool, #240161)
5878
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
5879
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
5881
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
5883
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
5885
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
5886
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
5887
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
5888
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
5889
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
5891
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
5892
(Martin Pool, #172870)
5894
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
5895
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
5897
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
5899
(Matt McClure, #209281)
5901
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
5902
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
5904
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
5905
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
5910
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
5913
* Updated developer documentation.
5919
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
5920
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
5922
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
5923
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
5924
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
5925
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
5930
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
5931
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
5932
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
5933
Repository docstring for more details.
5936
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
5937
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
5938
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
5940
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
5941
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
5944
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
5945
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
5946
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
5947
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
5952
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
5953
(Alexander Belchenko)
5955
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
5956
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
5957
containing a given location.
5960
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
5961
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
5962
storage. (Robert Collins)
5964
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
5967
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
5968
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
5975
:Released: 2008-06-10
5977
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
5978
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
5979
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
5985
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
5986
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
5987
reading from the repository.)
5988
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
5990
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5991
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5993
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
5994
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
5997
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
5998
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
5999
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6001
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6002
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6003
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6005
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6006
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6008
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6009
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6010
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
6011
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
6016
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
6018
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
6019
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
6020
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
6023
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
6024
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
6029
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6034
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6035
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6040
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6041
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6042
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6043
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6044
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6046
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
6047
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
6052
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
6053
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
6055
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
6056
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
6061
:Released: 2008-06-02
6063
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6064
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6065
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6066
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6067
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6068
and future extensions.
6071
Notes When Upgrading
6072
********************
6074
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6075
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6076
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6077
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6078
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6079
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6080
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
6081
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
6086
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6087
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
6088
(John Arbash Meinel)
6093
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6094
load. (James Westby)
6099
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6100
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6101
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6102
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6104
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6105
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6106
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6108
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6109
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6111
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6112
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6113
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6115
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6116
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6117
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6118
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6119
step closer to not using full revision history.
6120
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
6125
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6126
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6128
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6129
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6131
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6132
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6134
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6135
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6136
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6137
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6139
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6140
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6141
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6142
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6144
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6145
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
6146
in use by another process.
6149
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
6150
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
6151
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
6152
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
6154
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
6155
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
6157
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
6158
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
6159
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
6161
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
6162
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
6163
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
6165
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
6167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
6169
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
6170
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
6172
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
6173
under vim on Mac OS X.
6174
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6176
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
6177
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
6182
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
6183
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
6185
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6186
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6189
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
6190
and about use of Python reprs.
6191
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
6193
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
6198
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
6201
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6202
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6204
* New helper function for splitting test suites
6205
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
6210
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
6211
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
6212
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
6213
(John Arbash Meinel)
6218
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
6219
instead. (Martin Pool)
6221
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
6222
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
6223
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
6224
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
6226
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
6227
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
6228
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
6229
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
6230
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
6232
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
6233
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
6234
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
6235
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
6236
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
6237
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
6239
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
6240
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
6243
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
6244
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
6247
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
6248
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
6249
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
6250
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
6252
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
6253
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
6254
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6256
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
6257
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
6258
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
6259
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
6260
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
6263
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
6264
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
6265
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
6266
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
6269
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6270
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6271
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6272
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6273
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6275
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
6282
:Released: 2008-05-16
6284
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
6285
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
6286
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
6291
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
6292
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
6293
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6298
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6299
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6306
:Released: 2008-05-09
6311
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
6312
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
6313
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
6314
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
6319
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
6320
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
6322
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
6323
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
6325
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
6331
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
6332
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
6334
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
6335
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6337
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6338
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6339
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6341
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6342
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6343
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6345
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
6348
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
6349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
6351
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
6352
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
6354
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
6355
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
6357
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
6358
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
6360
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
6361
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
6362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
6364
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
6365
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
6367
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6368
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
6370
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6371
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6372
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6373
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
6375
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
6376
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
6379
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
6380
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
6381
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
6383
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6384
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6385
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6386
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6387
every revision each side had in common.
6388
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6390
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6391
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6393
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6394
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6395
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
6396
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
6401
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
6402
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
6403
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
6404
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
6406
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
6408
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
6410
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
6411
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
6416
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6417
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6418
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6420
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6421
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6422
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6423
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6425
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6426
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6428
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6429
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6430
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6431
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6433
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6434
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6435
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6436
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6441
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
6442
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6443
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6445
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6447
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
6448
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
6450
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6451
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6453
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
6454
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
6459
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
6460
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6461
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6463
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6464
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6465
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6468
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
6469
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
6472
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
6481
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6482
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6483
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6484
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6485
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6486
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6487
and faster performance.
6492
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6493
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6494
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

:Released: 2008-04-21
6506
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6507
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6508
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6510
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6511
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6513
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6514
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6516
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6517
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6518
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6519
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6520
every revision each side had in common.

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6527
:Released: 2008-04-11
6532
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6534
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6535
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6537
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6538
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6539
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6541
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6542
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6543
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6544
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6545
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6546
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6549
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6550
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6551
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6552
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
6557
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6559
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6560
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6561
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6563
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6564
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6565
See the User Reference for signature details.
6566
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6568
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6569
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6574
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6575
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6576
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6577
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6579
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6580
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6582
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6583
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6584
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6587
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6590
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6591
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6592
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6594
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6597
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6598
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6600
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6601
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6603
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6604
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6605
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6607
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6608
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6609
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6610
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6611
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6613
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6614
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6616
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6617
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6622
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6623
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6624
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6625
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6626
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6627
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6629
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6630
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6632
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6633
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
6634
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
6636
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6637
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6639
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6640
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6641
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6642
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6644
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6645
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6646
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6647
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6648
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6650
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6652
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6653
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6655
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6657
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6658
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6660
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
6661
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
6666
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
6668
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
6670
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6672
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
6677
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6678
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6679
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6681
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6682
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6683
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6684
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6686
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6687
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6688
release. (James Westby)
6690
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
6693
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
6695
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
6696
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6698
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
6699
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6701
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
6702
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
6704
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
6705
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
6706
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
6708
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
6709
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
6710
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
6711
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
6713
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
6714
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
6715
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
6716
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
6718
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
6719
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
6720
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
6721
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
6722
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
6723
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
6725
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
6726
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
6727
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
6729
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
6730
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6732
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
6733
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
6736
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
6737
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
6739
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
6740
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
6742
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
6743
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
6745
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6746
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
6747
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
6749
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
6750
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
6751
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
6752
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
6753
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
6754
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
6759
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
6760
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
6761
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
6762
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
6764
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
6765
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
6766
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
6767
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
6771
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
6772
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6775
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
6776
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
6778
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
6780
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
6781
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
6782
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
6787
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6789
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
6792
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
6793
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6794
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
6795
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
6796
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
6797
(Martin Pool, #109520)
6799
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
6800
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
6802
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
6803
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
6804
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
6805
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
6807
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
6808
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
6810
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
6811
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6861
********************
6863
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
6864
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
6869
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6870
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6871
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6872
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6875
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6876
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6877
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6878
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6879
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6880
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6882
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6883
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6884
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
6885
(Alexander Belchenko)
6887
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6889
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
6890
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
6895
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
6896
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
6898
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
6899
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
6905
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
6907
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6909
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6910
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6911
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6913
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6914
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6916
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6917
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6919
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6920
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.

* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6924
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6925
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6926
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
6928
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6931
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6932
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6933
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6934
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6935
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6940
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
6941
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
6942
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
6943
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
6945
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
6946
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
6948
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
6949
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
6951
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
6952
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
6953
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
6955
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
6956
(#198793, John Ferlito)
6958
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
6961
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
6962
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
6964
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
6966
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
6968
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
6969
symlinks (James Henstridge)
6971
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
6972
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
6974
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
6975
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
6977
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
6978
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
6980
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
6981
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
6983
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
6984
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
6989
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
6990
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6995
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
6996
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
6997
(Alexander Belchenko)
7002
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
7004
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
7005
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
7011
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
7012
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
7013
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
7015
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
7016
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
7017
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
7018
(Alexander Belchenko)
7020
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
7021
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
7022
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
7023
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
7025
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
7026
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
7027
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
7030
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
7031
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
7032
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
7034
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
7035
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
7036
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
7038
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
7039
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
7040
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
7041
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7061
********************
7063
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7064
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7065
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7066
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7067
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7073
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7074
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7076
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7077
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7078
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7080
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7081
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7082
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7083
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7084
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7085
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7091
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7092
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7094
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7095
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7096
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7099
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7100
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7101
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7102
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7103
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7105
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7106
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7107
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7108
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7109
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7110
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7111
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7112
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
7117
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7118
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7120
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7121
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7123
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7124
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7126
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7127
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7128
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7130
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7131
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
7132
(John Arbash Meinel)
7137
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7138
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7140
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7141
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7143
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7144
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7146
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
7147
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
7148
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
7150
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
7151
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
7152
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
7154
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
7155
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
7157
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
7158
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
7159
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
7160
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
7161
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
7163
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7165
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
7166
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
7169
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
7170
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
7172
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
7173
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
7175
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
7176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
7178
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
7179
more characters which should be considered valid.
7180
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
7182
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
7183
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
7185
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
7186
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
7191
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
7192
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
7194
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
7195
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
7201
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
7202
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
7208
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
7209
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
7210
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
7212
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
7213
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
7214
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
7216
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
7217
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
7218
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
7219
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
7221
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
7223
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
7224
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
7225
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
7226
server. (Robert Collins)
7228
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
7229
operate. (Robert Collins)
7231
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
7232
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
7233
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
7235
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
7236
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
7237
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
7238
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
7240
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
7241
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
7243
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
7244
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
7245
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
7247
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
7248
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
7250
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
7251
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
7253
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
7254
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
7255
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
7256
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

7269
:Released: 2008-01-05
7274
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
7275
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
7276
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
7277
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7279
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
7280
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
7281
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
7282
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
7287
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
7290
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
7293
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
7294
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
7299
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
7302
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
7303
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
7304
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7306
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7308
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7309
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7310
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7311
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7312
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7314
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7315
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7316
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
7318
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
7319
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
7321
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
7324
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
7326
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
7328
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
7331
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
7332
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
7337
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
7338
(Martin Pool, #180208)
7340
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
7341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
7343
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
7346
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
7347
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
7349
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
7350
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
7352
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
7353
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7355
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
7356
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
7358
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
7359
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
7360
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
7362
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
7363
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
7365
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
7366
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
7369
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
7371
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
7372
user:pass embedded in the urls.
7373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
7375
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
7376
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
7378
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
7381
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
7384
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
7385
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
7387
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
7390
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
7391
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
7394
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
7395
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
7396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
7401
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
7404
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
7405
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
7406
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
7407
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
7408
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
7409
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
7411
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
7416
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
7419
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
7420
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
7422
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
7424
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
7425
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
7426
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
7429
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
7430
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7432
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
7441
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
7442
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
7443
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
7445
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
7446
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
7449
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
7450
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
7452
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
7453
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7455
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
7456
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7458
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
7459
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
7460
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7462
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
7463
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
7465
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
7466
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7468
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
7469
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
7472
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
7473
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
7475
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
7476
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

7509
by mail to the mailing list.
7515
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
7517
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
7518
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
7519
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
7520
feedback but also incur more latency.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
7523
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
7524
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
7529
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7531
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
7537
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
7538
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
7539
wraps its output in a StringIO.

7559
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to

to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
7574
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
7575
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
7576
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
7577
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
7578
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
7579
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
7580
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
7581
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
7582
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
7587
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
7590
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
7595
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
7596
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
7598
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
7600
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
7602
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
7603
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
7605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
7607
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
7608
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
7610
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
7611
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
7616
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
7617
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
7626
********************
7628
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7629
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7630
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7631
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7633
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7634
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7636
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7637
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7639
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7640
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7641
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7642
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7643
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7644
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7645
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7646
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7647
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7648
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7649
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7650
from any tree without problems.
7651
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
7656
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
7657
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
7658
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
7660
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
7661
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
7667
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
7668
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7669
supported transports.
7672
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
7673
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
7674
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
7676
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7677
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7679
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7680
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7681
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7682
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
7684
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
7685
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
7690
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
7691
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
7692
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
7693
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7695
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
7696
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
7697
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
7698
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
7700
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
7701
(Robert Collins, #88319)
7703
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
7704
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
7706
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
7707
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
7709
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
7710
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
7716
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
7719
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
7720
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
7723
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7724
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
7725
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
7726
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
7728
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
7729
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
7730
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
7731
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
7739
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
7740
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
7742
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
7743
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
7745
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
7746
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
7748
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
7749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
7751
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
7752
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
7754
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
7755
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
7757
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
7758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
7760
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
7763
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
7764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
7766
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
7767
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
7768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
7770
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
7771
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
7773
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
7774
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
7776
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
7777
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
7779
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
7780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
7782
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
7783
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
7784
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
7785
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
7787
(Martin Pool, #164637)
7789
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
7790
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
7791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
7793
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
7794
(Robert Collins, #161240)
7796
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
7798
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7800
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7801
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7803
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7804
specify a port in urls.
7805
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
7807
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
7808
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7810
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
7811
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
7813
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
7814
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
7816
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
7817
(Robert Collins, #153789)
7819
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
7820
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
7821
(Robert Collins, #165304).
7823
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
7825
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
7826
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
7828
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
7831
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
7832
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
7834
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
7835
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
7837
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
7838
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
7839
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
7841
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
7842
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
7844
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
7845
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
7846
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
7847
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
7849
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
7850
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
7852
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
7853
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
7854
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
7856
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
7857
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
7859
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
7860
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
7862
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
7863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
7868
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
7869
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
7871
* The return value of
7872
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
7873
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
7874
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
7875
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
7877
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
7880
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
7881
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
7888
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
7889
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
7890
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
7893
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
7894
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
7896
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
7902
:Released: 2007-11-05
7907
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
7913
:Released: 2007-10-29
7918
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
7919
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7921
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7922
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7923
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7924
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7925
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7926
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7927
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7928
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7929
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7930
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7931
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7932
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
7938
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7939
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7940
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7941
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7942
commands. (Robert Collins)
7944
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7945
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7946
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
7949
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
7951
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
7952
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
7954
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
7955
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
7958
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
7959
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
7960
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
7965
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
7966
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7968
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7969
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7971
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7972
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7973
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7974
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7976
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7979
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7980
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7981
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7982
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
7984
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7985
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
7987
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
7988
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
7990
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
7991
the contents. (Robert Collins)
7993
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
7994
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
7999
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
8000
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
8002
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
8003
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8005
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8006
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8008
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8009
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8011
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8012
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
8017
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
8019
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
8025
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8026
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8027
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8029
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8030
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8032
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8033
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8035
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8036
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8037
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8038
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8040
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8041
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8042
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8043
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8044
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8046
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8047
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8051
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8053
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8054
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8056
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8057
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8059
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8060
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8062
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8063
contains a symbolic link.
8064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8066
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8067
(James Westby, #140615)
8069
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8070
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8073
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8074
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8075
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8077
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8079
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8082
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8086
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8087
directory to detect leaking tests.
8088
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8090
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8091
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8092
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8094
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8097
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8098
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8100
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8106
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8107
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8109
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8110
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8111
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8113
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8114
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8115
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8117
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8118
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8120
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8121
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8123
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8124
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8127
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8128
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8130
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8131
class that needs it.
8134
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8135
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8137
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8138
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8139
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8141
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8142
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8143
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8146
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
8147
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
8148
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
8149
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
8155
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
8156
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
8157
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
8159
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
8160
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
8161
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
8162
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
8164
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
8165
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
8168
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
8169
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
8170
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
8172
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
8173
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
8174
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
8176
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
8177
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
8179
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
8180
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
8181
to complete. (Robert Collins)
8183
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
8184
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
8186
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
8187
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
8188
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
8190
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
8191
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
8192
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
8194
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
8195
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
8196
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
8197
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
8199
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
8200
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
8201
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
8202
returned. (Robert Collins)
8204
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
8205
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
8207
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
8208
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
8209
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
8210
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
8213
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
8214
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
8219
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
8220
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
8222
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
8223
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
8224
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
8225
makes this behavior available to other users.
8228
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
8229
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
8235
:Released: 2007-09-26
8240
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8241
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8242
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8244
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8246
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
8247
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
8248
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
8249
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
8251
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
8252
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
8259
:Released: 2007-09-11
8261
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
8262
in bzrlib/remote.py.
8268
:Released: 2007-09-11
8273
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
8274
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
8275
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
8276
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
8279
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
8280
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
8281
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
8287
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
8288
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
8289
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8292
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8293
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8294
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8296
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8297
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8298
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8300
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8301
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8303
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8304
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8305
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8306
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8307
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8308
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8309
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8310
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8311
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8312
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8314
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8315
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8317
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8318
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8319
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8324
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8325
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8327
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8328
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8329
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8331
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8332
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8334
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8335
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8337
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8340
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8341
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8343
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8344
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8346
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8347
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8349
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8350
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8352
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8354
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8357
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8358
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8359
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8360
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8362
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8364
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8365
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8368
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8369
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8371
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8372
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8375
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8376
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8378
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8379
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8381
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8382
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8383
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8384
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8385
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8386
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8387
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8389
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8390
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8392
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8393
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8395
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8396
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8398
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8399
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8401
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8405
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8406
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8408
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8409
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8410
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8412
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8413
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8414
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8419
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8420
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8422
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8425
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8428
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8429
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8431
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8433
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8434
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8436
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8437
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8439
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8440
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8441
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8442
space). (Robert Collins)
8444
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8445
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8448
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8449
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8451
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8452
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8454
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8455
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8456
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8457
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8459
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8460
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8461
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8464
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8467
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8468
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8469
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8471
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8472
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8473
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8474
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8475
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8480
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8481
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8483
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8484
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8485
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8486
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8487
affected. (Robert Collins)
8489
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8490
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8491
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8494
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8495
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8500
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8501
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8503
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8504
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8506
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8507
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8509
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8512
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8513
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8518
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8519
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8520
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8521
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8523
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8524
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8526
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8527
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8528
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8529
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8531
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8532
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8533
present. (Robert Collins)
8535
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8536
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8537
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8538
API. (Robert Collins)
8540
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8541
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8544
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8545
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8547
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8548
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8549
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8550
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8551
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8552
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8554
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8555
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8556
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8558
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8559
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8560
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8561
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8564
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8567
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8568
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8569
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8570
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8571
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8572
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8573
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8575
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8576
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8577
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8578
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8580
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8581
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8582
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8583
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8584
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8585
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8587
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8588
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8589
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8591
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8592
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8598
:Released: 2007-08-28
8603
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
8604
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
8605
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
8606
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
8607
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
8608
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
8609
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
8610
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
8616
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
8617
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
8618
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
8624
:Released: 2007-08-14
8629
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8630
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8631
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8632
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
8633
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
8635
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
8636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
8638
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
8640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
8642
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
8643
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8646
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8647
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8650
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8653
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8654
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8656
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8657
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8659
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8660
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8662
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8663
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8665
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8666
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8668
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
8674
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8675
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8677
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8678
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8680
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8681
the repository (Robert Collins)
8683
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8684
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8685
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8686
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8687
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8689
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8690
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8692
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8693
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8694
(John Arbash Meinel)
8696
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8697
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8698
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8700
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8701
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8702
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8703
(John Arbash Meinel)
8705
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8706
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8709
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8710
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8712
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8715
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8717
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8719
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8720
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8722
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8723
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8726
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8727
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8728
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8729
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8731
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8732
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8733
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8735
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8736
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8737
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8739
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8740
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8742
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8743
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8744
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8745
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8746
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8747
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8750
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8751
(Alexander Belchenko)
8753
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8754
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8756
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8757
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8759
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
8761
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
8762
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
8767
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8768
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8769
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8770
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8772
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8774
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8777
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8778
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8779
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8780
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8781
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8782
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8787
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8788
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8789
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8790
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8792
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8793
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8794
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8795
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8796
tests have been refactored too.
8799
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8800
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8801
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8805
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8806
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8807
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8809
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8810
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8811
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8812
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8813
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8814
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8815
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8817
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8818
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8819
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8820
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8821
(John Arbash Meinel)
8823
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8824
functionality for testing.
8826
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8828
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8829
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8831
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8833
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8836
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8837
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8839
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8840
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8841
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8843
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8846
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8847
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8849
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8850
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8851
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8852
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8854
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8855
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8857
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8858
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8859
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8861
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8864
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8865
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8866
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8867
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8868
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8869
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8871
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8872
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8873
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8874
many files. (Robert Collins)
8876
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8877
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8878
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8879
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8884
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8885
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8886
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8888
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8889
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8891
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8892
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8893
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
8919

8920
(James Westby, #122656)

* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
8923
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)

* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
8926

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
8940

* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
8944
individually and as part of revision ranges.

8947
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
8948
(Martin Pool, #109169)
8950
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
8951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
8953
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
8954
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
8956
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8958
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
8963
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8964
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8965
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8966
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
8967
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
8968
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
8970
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
8971
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
8972
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
8974
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
8977
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
8978
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
8980
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8981
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8983
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8984
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8986
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8987
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8988
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8989
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8990
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8992
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8993
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8995
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
8996
can be slow it is useful feedback).
8997
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
8999
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
9000
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
9002
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
9004
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
9005
output. (Aaron Bentley)
9007
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
9008
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
9011
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
9014
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
9015
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
9017
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
9018
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
9020
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
9021
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
9023
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
9025
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.

(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
9028
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
9034
* Testing cleanups -
9035
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9036
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
9037
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9038
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
9039
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9040
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
9041
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9042
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
9043
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9044
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
9045
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
9046
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
9047
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9048
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
9049
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9050
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
9051
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
9054
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9056
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9057
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9058
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9060
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9061
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
9063
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9064
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9066
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9068
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9069
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9070
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9071
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9072
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9073
same location. (Robert Collins)
9078
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9080
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9082
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9084
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9087
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9090
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9091
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9092
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9094
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9096
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9097
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9098
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9100
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9101
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9103
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9104
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9105
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9107
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9108
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9109
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9111
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9112
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9113
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9115
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9116
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9119
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9120
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9122
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9123
(Alexander Belchenko)
9128
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9129
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9130
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9131
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9133
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9134
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9135
testing. (Robert Collins)
9137
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9138
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9140
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9141
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9142
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9143
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9144
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9145
attribute during the test parameterisation in
9146
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
9148
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
9149
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
9150
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
9151
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
9153
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
9154
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
9156
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
9157
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
9182
********************
9184
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
9185
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9186
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
9187
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9188
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
9189
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
9190
and unlock() like so::
9192
work_tree.lock_read()
9194
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
9200
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
9201
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
9203
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
9204
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9205
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
9207
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
9208
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
9209
too. (Robert Collins)
9214
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
9215
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
9218
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
9219
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
9221
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
9222
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
9224
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
9225
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
9226
understanding what changes have occurred
9227
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
9229
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
9230
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
9231
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9233
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
9234
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
9235
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
9236
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
9238
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
9244
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
9245
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
9246
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
9247
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9248
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
9250
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
9251
based on split paths, not just string paths.
9252
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
9254
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
9255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
9257
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
9259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
9261
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
9262
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
9264
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
9265
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
9267
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
9268
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
9270
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
9271
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
9273
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
9274
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
9276
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
9277
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
9278
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
9283
:Released: 2007-05-07
9288
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
9289
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
9290
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
9291
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
9292
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
9294
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
9295
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
9296
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
9298
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
9299
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
9304
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
9305
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
9306
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
9308
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
9309
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
9310
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
9311
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
9322
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
9323
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
9324
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9326
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
9327
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.

9330
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
9331
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
9333
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
9334
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)

* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
9337
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
9345
********************
9347
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9348
it could be recovered again.
9349
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9350
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9351
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9353
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
9355
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
9356
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
9361
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
9362
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
9364
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
9365
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9366
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
9367
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
9369
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
9370
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
9372
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
9373
tests with names that match that regular expression.
9374
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
9376
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
9377
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
9378
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
9380
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9381
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
9382
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9384
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
9385
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9388
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9391
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9392
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9393
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9394
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9396
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9399
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9400
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9401
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9404
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9405
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
9407
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9408
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9410
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9411
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9412
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9413
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9416
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9417
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9419
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9420
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9422
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9423
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9424
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9426
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9427
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9428
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9430
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9431
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9432
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9434
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9435
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9436
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9437
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9439
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9440
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9441
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9442
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9444
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9445
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9446
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9447
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9448
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9449
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9450
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9451
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9458
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9459
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9461
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9462
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9463
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9464
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9465
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9467
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9468
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9470
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9471
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9473
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9474
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9476
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9477
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9479
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9480
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9481
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9484
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9485
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9486
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9487
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9488
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9491
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9492
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9493
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9495
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9496
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9499
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9500
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9501
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9504
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9505
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9506
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9507
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9508
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9510
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9511
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9512
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9513
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9515
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9516
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9518
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9519
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9520
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9521
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9522
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9523
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9525
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9526
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9528
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9529
help. (Robert Collins)
9531
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9532
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9534
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9535
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9536
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9537
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9538
(John Arbash Meinel)
9540
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9541
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9542
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9543
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9544
useful. (Robert Collins)
9546
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
9552
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
9553
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
9555
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
9556
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
9558
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
9559
properly and is no longer beneficial.
9560
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
9562
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9565
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9566
the file, and does it faster.
9567
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9569
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9570
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9571
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9573
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9574
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9575
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9576
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9578
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9579
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9580
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9581
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9583
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
9584
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
9586
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9587
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9588
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9589
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
9592
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9594
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
9595
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
9597
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9598
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
9600
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9601
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9602
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9603
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9607
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
9608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
9613
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9614
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9615
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9617
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9618
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9620
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9621
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9622
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9623
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9624
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9625
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9626
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9627
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9629
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9630
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9631
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9633
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9634
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9635
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9636
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9637
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9639
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9641
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9642
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9643
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9645
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9646
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
9652
:Released: 2007-04-01
9657
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
9660
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
9661
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
9667
:Released: 2007-03-26
9672
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
9673
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
9679
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9680
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9681
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9682
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9683
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9684
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9685
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9686
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9692
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
9693
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9694
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
9696
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
9697
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
9700
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
9701
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
9702
(John Arbash Meinel)
9704
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
9705
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
9706
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9707
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
9708
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
9713
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
9716
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
9717
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
9719
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
9720
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
9722
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
9723
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
9724
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
9726
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
9727
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
9729
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
9730
last-changed-revision for directories. The
9731
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
9732
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
9733
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
9735
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
9736
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
9737
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
9739
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
9748
********************
9750
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
9751
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
9752
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
9757
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
9758
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
9760
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
9761
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
9763
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
9765
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
9766
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
9768
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
9769
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
9774
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
9780
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
9781
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
9782
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
9783
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
9785
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
9786
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
9788
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
9789
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
9791
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
9794
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
9795
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
9801
:Released: 2007-03-07
9806
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9807
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9808
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9809
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9810
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9811
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9813
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9814
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9815
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9816
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9817
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9818
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9820
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9822
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9823
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9824
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9825
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9826
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9827
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9828
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9829
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9834
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9835
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9837
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9838
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9839
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9840
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9842
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9843
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9844
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9845
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9846
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9848
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9851
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
9854
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
9857
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
9858
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
9861
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9864
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9865
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9867
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9868
directory. (Martin Pool)
9870
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9871
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9872
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9873
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9875
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9876
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9877
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9878

* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9881
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9884
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9885
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9886
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9887
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9888
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9889
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9891
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9892
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9894
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9895
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9897
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
9903
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9904
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9905
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9906
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9907
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9908
(John Arbash Meinel)
9910
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9911
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9914
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9915
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9916
(John Arbash Meinel)
9918
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9919
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9920
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9921
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9922
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9923
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9925
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9926
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9927
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9929
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9930
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9931
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9932
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9934
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9936
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9937
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9938
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9939
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9941
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9942
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9943
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9944
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9946
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9947
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9948
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9950
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9951
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9952
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
9954
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9955
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
9956
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
9957
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
9959
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9960
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
9961
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
9963
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
9964
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
9965
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
9967
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9968
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9969
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9970
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9971
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9972
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9973
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9974
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9975
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
9976
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
9977
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
9982
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
9983
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
9984
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
9986
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
9989
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
9990
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
9991
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
9992
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
9994
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
9995
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
9998
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
9999
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
10001
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
10003
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
10004
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
10005
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
10007
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
10008
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
10010
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
10011
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
10013
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
10014

10021
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
10022
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
10027
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
10028
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
10034
:Released: 2007-01-23
10039
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
10044
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
10045
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
10046
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
10048
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
10049
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
10050
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
10056
:Released: 2007-01-16
10061
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10062
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10063
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10064
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10066
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10069
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10070
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10071
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10073
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10074
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
10076
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10079
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10080
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10081
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10082
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10083
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10084
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10086
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10087
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10088
should enable you to do::
10090
[/home/user/project]
10091
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10092
push_location:policy = appendpath
10094
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10095
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10098
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10099
for each file. For example::
10101
$ bzr status --short
10107
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
10108
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
10110
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
10112
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
10113
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
10115
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
10120
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
10121
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
10122
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
10123
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
10125
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
10126
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10127
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10129
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
10131
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10132
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
10133
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
10134
(Alexander Belchenko)
10136
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
10139
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
10140
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
10142
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
10147
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
10148
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
10150
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
10151
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
10152
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
10153
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
10154
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
10156
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
10157
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
10159
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
10160
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
10162
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
10164
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
10166
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
10167
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
10168
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
10169
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
10170
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
10172
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
10173
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
10174
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
10175
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
10177
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
10178
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
10180
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
10181
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
10183
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
10184
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
10186
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

10206
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
10207
tree from a branch.
10208
(Daniel Silverstone)
10210
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
10211
operations are substantially faster.
10212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
10214
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
10215
tree from some other url. For example:
10216
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
10217
(Daniel Silverstone)
10219
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
10220
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
10221
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
10222
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
10224
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
10227
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
10228
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
10229
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
10230
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
10231
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
10232
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
10237
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
10238
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
10241
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
10242
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
10243
(John Arbash Meinel)
10245
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
10246
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
10247
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
10248
(John Arbash Meinel)
10250
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
10251
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
10253
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
10254
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10256
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
10257
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
10263
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
10264
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
10265
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
10267
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
10268
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
10269
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
10270
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
10272
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
10274
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
10275
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
10277
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
10278
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
10279
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
10280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
10282
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
10283
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
10284
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
10286
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
10287
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
10288
them as full references rather than integers.
10289
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
10291
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
10292
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
10294
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
10296
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10297
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
10299
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
10300
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
10302
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
10303
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
10304
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10305
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10307
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10308
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
10309
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
10311
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10312
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10314
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10315
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10316
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
10317
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
10318
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
10323
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
10324

10346
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10347
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10348
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10349
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
10351
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
10352
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10354
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10356
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10357
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10358
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10359
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10361
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10362
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10363
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
10364
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

API Incompatability
10368
*******************
10370
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
10371
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
10376
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
10377
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
10378
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10380
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
10381
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
10382
(John Arbash Meinel)
10384
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
10385
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
10386
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10388
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
10389
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
10392
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
10393
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
10394
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10396
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10397
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10398
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10399
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
10400
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10401
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10403
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
10404
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
10405
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
10408
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
10409
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
10414
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
10415
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
10416
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
10419
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
10420
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
10422
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
10423
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
10424
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
10426
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10427
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
10429
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10430
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10431
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
10432
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
10434
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
10435
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
10437
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
10438
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
10439
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
10441
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
10442
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
10444
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10446
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
10447
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
10453
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
10454
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
10455
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
10456
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
10458
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
10459
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
10460
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10465
:Released: 2006-10-02
10467
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
10472
:Released: 2006-09-27
10477
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
10479
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
10485
:Released: 2006-09-25
10490
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10491
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10492
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10493
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10494
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10495
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10496
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10498
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10499
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10500
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10502
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10504
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10505
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10507
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10508
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10509
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10512
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10513
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10514
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
10515
(John Arbash Meinel)
10517
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
10518
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
10519
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
10520
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10523
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10524
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10525
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
10526
(John Arbash Meinel)
10531
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
10532
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
10534
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
10536
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10537
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10538
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10540
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10541
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10543
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10544
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10546
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10549
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10550
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10552
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10554
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10555
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10557
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10558
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10560
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10561
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10563
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10564
(John Arbash Meinel)
10566
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10567
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10568
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10570
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10571
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10573
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10574
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10575
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10576
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10578
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10579
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10580
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10582
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10583
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
10588
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
10593
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
10594
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
10595
(John Arbash Meinel)
10597
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
10598
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
10599
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
10600
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10602
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
10605
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
10606
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
10607
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
10609
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
10610
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
10612
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10613
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10614
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10616
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10617
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10618
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10619
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10620
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10621
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10622
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10623
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10624
caller to repeat their request.
10625
(John Arbash Meinel)
10627
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10628
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10630
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10631
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10633
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10634
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10635
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10636
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10637
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10638
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10639
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10641
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10642
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10643
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10644
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10645
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10646
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10647
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10648
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10651
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
10652
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
10653
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
10655
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10656
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10658
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10659
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10661
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
10662
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10667
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10668
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10670
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10671
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10672
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10674
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10675
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10676
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10681
:Released: 2006-08-29
10685
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10686
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10688
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10689
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10690
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10691
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10692
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10694
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
10695
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
10696
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
10698
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
10699
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
10701
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
10702
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
10703
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10708
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
10710
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
10711
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
10712
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
10714
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
10716
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
10718
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
10719
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
10720
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
10721
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
10723
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
10724
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
10725
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
10726
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
10727
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
10729
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
10730
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
10732
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
10733
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
10735
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
10736
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
10738
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
10739
in handling of revision properties.
10740
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
10742
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
10743
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
10748
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
10749
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
10750
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
10751
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
10752
(John Arbash Meinel)
10754
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
10755
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
10756
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
10761
:Released: 2006-08-11
10766
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10767
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10768
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10769
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10770
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10771
a more conservative list than the old default.
10772
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10773
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10774
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10775
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10777
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10778
to more locations than just branch locations.
10784
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10785
revno:N:branch. For example,
10786
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10787
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10789
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10790
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10791
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10792
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10793
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10794
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10795
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10796
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10799
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10800
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10801
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10804
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10805
(Alexander Belchenko)
10807
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10809
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10812
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10813
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10814
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10815
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10816
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10817
(John Arbash Meinel)
10819
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10820
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10821
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10822
grained analysis of performance.
10823
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10825
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10826
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10828
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10829
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10830
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10831
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10832
file. (Robert Collins).
10834
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10835
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10836
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10838
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10839
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10842
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10843
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10845
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10846
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10847
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10848
the same way you would apply another branch.
10849
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
10851
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
10852
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10854
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10857
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10860
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10861
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10862
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10864
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10865
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10866
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10868
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10869
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10871
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10872
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10873
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10874
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10875
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10877
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10878
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10880
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10881
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10882
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10883
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10884
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10885
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10886
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10887
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10889
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10890
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10891
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
10896
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
10898
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10900
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10901
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10903
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10904
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10906
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10907
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10909
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
10911
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
10912
(John Arbash Meinel)
10914
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10915
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10917
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10918
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10921
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10922
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10924
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10925
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10927
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10928
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10929
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10930
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10932
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10933
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
10935
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
10937
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
10938
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
10940
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
10942
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
10944
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
10945
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
10947
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
10948
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
10950
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
10951
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10952
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10954
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10955
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10956
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
10958
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
10959
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
10961
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
10962
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10964
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10965
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10967
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10968
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10970
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10971
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10973
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10974
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10975
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10977
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
10979
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
10980
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
10985
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10986
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10987
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10989
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10990
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10992
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10993
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10994
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10996
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10997
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10999
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11000
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11003
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11004
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11005
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11007
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11008
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11009
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11011
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11012
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11013
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11015
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11016
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
11017
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)

11050
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11052
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
11053
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

11064
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
11069
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check

Notes When Upgrading
11100
********************
11102
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11103
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11104
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11105
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11106
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11107
will keep the same format.
11109
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11110
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11111
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11112
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11113
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11115
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11116
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11117
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11118
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11119
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11120
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11121
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11123
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11124
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11125
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11126
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11127
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11129
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11130
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11131
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11138
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11139
convention. Paths now take the form::
11141
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11143
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11145
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
11146
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
11148
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
11149
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
11150
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
11152
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
11153
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
11154
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
11155
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
11157
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
11158
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
11159
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
11161
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
11163
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
11165
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
11166
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
11169
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
11170
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
11171
| xargs bzr re-sign
11173
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
11175
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
11176
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
11177
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
11180
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
11182
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
11184
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
11187
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
11188
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
11190
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
11191
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
11192
Daniel Silverstone)
11194
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
11195
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
11198
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
11200
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
11202
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
11203
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
11205
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
11206
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
11207
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
11208
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
11209
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
11210
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
11212
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
11214
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
11215
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
11218
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
11219
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
11221
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
11222
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
11224
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
11226
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
11227
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
11228
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
11229
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
11230
specification by Martin Pool.
11231
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
11233
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
11236
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
11237
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11239
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
11240
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
11241
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
11243
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
11245
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
11246
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
11252
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
11253
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11255
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
11257
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
11259
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
11262
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
11263
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
11264
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
11265
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
11270
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
11271
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
11272
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
11273
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11275
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
11276
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
11277
tried. (Martin Pool)
11279
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
11282
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
11284
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
11285
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
11286
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
11288
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
11289
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
11291
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11292
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11293
paths. (Robert Collins)
11295
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11296
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11297
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11299
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11300
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11301
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11303
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11304
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11305
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11307
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11310
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11313
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11315
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11317
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11318
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11319
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11322
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11323
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11325
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11326
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11327
check. (Robert Collins)
11329
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11330
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11335
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11336
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11338
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11339
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11340
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11341
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11343
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11344
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11345
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11346
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11347
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11349
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11350
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11351
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11353
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11355
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11356
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
11361
:Released: 2006-01-09
11366
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11367
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11369
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11370
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11371
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11374
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11375
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11377
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11378
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11379
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11380
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11381
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11383
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11384
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11385
used. (Robert Collins)
11387
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11388
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11391
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11392
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11393
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11395
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11398
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11399
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11404
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11405
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11407
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11409
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11411
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11412
tree. (Robert Collins)
11414
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11415
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11416
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11419
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11422
* Tweaks to short log printing
11424
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11427
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11428
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11430
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11431
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11433
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11434
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11436
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11437
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11438
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11440
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11441
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11443
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11444
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11447
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11448
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11450
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11451
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11453
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11454
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11456
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11459
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11460
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11462
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11463
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11465
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11466
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11467
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
11472
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11474
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11476
* Error when run with -OO
11478
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11481
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11483
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11485
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11486
ignored by diff and status
11488
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11489
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11491
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11493
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11495
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11496
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11498
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11499
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11501
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11504
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11505
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11507
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11509
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11510
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11512
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11515
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11516
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11518
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11523
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11524
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11526
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11528
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11530
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11532
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11533
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11534
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11536
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11538
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11539
(John Arbash Meinel)
11541
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11543
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11544
If adding a new test script please add that to
11545
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11547
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11548
imported. (Martin Pool)
11550
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11551
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11552
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11553
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11554
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11557
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11558
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11559
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11561
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11562
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11563
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11565
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11566
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11567
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11568
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11569
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11572
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11573
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11579
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11580
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11582
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11583
function. (Robert Collins)
11585
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11586
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11587
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11589
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11590
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11593
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11594
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11595
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11596
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11597
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11598
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11599
version. (Robert Collins)
11601
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11602
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11604
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11605
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11606
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11607
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11608
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11609
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11611
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11614
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
11624
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11626
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11628
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11631
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11632
query method. (Robert Collins)
11634
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11637
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11640
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11643
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11644
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11645
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11646
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11648
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11649
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11650
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11651
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11653
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
11654
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
11659
:Released: 2005-10-28
11664
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11667
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11671
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11672
a separator, not ':'.
11675
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11676
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11677
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11679
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11680
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11683
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11684
has been added that suppresses all output.
11686
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11689
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11690
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11692
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11693
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11695
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11696
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11698
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11699
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11700
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11701
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11703
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11705
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11706
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11708
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11709
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11711
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11712
output directory, if one was supplied.
11714
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11715
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11716
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11717
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11719
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11721
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11722
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11724
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11725
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11726
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11728
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11729
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11731
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
11734
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
11736
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
11741
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
11742
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11743
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11745
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11746
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11747
related questions. (Robert Collins)
11749
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
11750
is given. (Martin Pool)
11752
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
11753
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
11754
file. (Robert Collins)
11756
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
11762
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11763
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11764
representation. (Martin Pool).
11766
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11767
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11768
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11770
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11773
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11774
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11777
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11778
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11779
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11780
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11781
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11783
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11784
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11785
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11786
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11787
python path. (Robert Collins)
11789
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11790
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11791
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11792
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11794
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11795
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11797
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11798
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11801
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11802
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11803
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11805
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11806
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11807
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11809
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11810
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11812
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11813
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11814
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11817
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11818
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11819
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11820
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11823
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11826
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11827
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
11830
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11831
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11832
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11834
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11835
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11836
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11838
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11839
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11840
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11842
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11843
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11845
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11846
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11847
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11848
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11849
caller. (Robert Collins)
11851
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11852
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11855
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11856
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11859
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11861
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11862
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
11867
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
11868
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
11870
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
11871
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
11877
:Released: 2005-10-12
11882
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
11883
allow directories to be listed.
11885
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
11886
upgrading branch format.
11891
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
11897
:Released: 2005-10-11
11902
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11903
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11904
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11905
high-latency connections.
11910
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
11913
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11914
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11916
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11917
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11918
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11919
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11921
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
11922
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
11924
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
11925
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
11927
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
11928
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
11929
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11931
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
11932
for files with only a change to their executable status.
11933
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
11936
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
11937
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
11939
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
11940
different partial views of history.
11942
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
11943
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
11948
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
11949
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11950
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11952
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11953
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11956
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
11957
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
11959
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
11962
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
11963
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
11965
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11966
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
11967
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11968
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11970
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11972
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
11973
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
11976
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
11977
Contributed by Robert Collins.
11979
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
11980
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
11981
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
11987
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
11988
for your viewing pleasure.
11990
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11991
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11993
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11994
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11995
handling of such circumstances.
11997
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11998
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11999
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12001
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12003
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12004
we call them revisions not patches.
12006
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12007
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12009
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12010
giving the revision *of that file*.
12012
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12013
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12014
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
12019
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
12020
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
12022
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
12023
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
12029
:Released: 2005-09-23
12034
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
12036
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
12039
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
12041
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
12043
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
12044
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12049
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
12050
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
12052
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
12053
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
12054
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
12055
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
12058
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
12059
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12064
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
12066
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
12067
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
12073
:Released: 2005-09-20
12079
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12080
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12081
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12082
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12085
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12088
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12089
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12090
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12091
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12092
for the operating system is still tried.
12094
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12095
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12096
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
12102
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
12107
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
12109
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
12112
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
12133
help with intelligent shell completion.
12135
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
12141
* Much better merge support.
12143
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
12144
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
12151
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
12152
mention revisions that are not present.
12154
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
12156
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
12158
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
12159
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
12165
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
12167
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
12168
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle

* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
12176
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
12194
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
12195
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
12197
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
12200
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
12202
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
12205
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
12206
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
12208
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
12209
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
12210
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
12216
* Faster working tree operations.
12222
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
12223
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
12224
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
12225
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
12227
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
12228
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
12229
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
12230
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
12231
standard plugins directory.
12233
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
12234
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
12235
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
12236
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
12238
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
12239
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
12241
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
12244
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
12245
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
12246
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
12248
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
12249
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
12251
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
12252
line options must come before the command name because they
12253
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
12254
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
12257
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
12259
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
12260
is available with ``--short``.
12266
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
12272
:Released: 2005-06-15
12277
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
12278
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12280
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
12281
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
12282
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
12283
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12285
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
12286
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
12287
with the ``--forward`` option.
12289
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
12290
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
12297
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
12298
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
12300
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
12302
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
12303
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12305
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
12307
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
12308
either read or write mode.
12310
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
12312
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
12313
affected that file.
12315
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
12317
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
12318
suggested by LarstiQ.
12320
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
12321
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
12323
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
12326
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
12327
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
12329
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
12330
haven't changed since the previous time.
12332
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
12333
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
12335
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
12337
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
12339
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
12340
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
12342
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
12343
options through to an external GNU diff.
12345
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
12348
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
12355
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
12356
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
12358
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
12365
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
12366
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
12369
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
12370
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
12372
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
12373
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
12375
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
12376
under a different version.
12378
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
12384
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
12386
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
12387
Scott James Remnant.
12389
* Better help messages for many commands.
12391
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
12392
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
12394
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
12395
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
12397
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
12399
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
12401
* New AtomicFile class.
12403
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
12409
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
12410
2.4 is now only recommended.
12416
:Released: 2005-04-22
12421
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
12422
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
12424
* More default ignore patterns.
12426
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
12427
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
12429
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
12431
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
12434
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
12440
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
12441
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
12442
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
12443
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
12444
there are DNS problems.
12446
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
12452
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
12454
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
12456
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
12457
trailing newlines properly.
12463
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
12466
* More tests in test.sh.
12468
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
12469
directory and delete it when done.
12471
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
12477
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
12480
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
12487
:Released: 2005-04-06
12492
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
12495
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
12497
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
12500
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
12503
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
12505
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
12510
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
12511
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
12517
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
12518
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
12524
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
12529
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
16
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
17
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
23
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
24
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
25
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
26
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
28
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
29
(Robert Collins, #88319)
31
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
32
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
36
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
37
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
38
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
39
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
45
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
46
(Robert Collins, #157789)
48
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
49
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
51
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
52
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
53
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
55
* Don't use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
56
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
58
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
59
(Robert Collins, #153789)
61
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
63
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
64
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
65
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
67
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
68
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
70
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
71
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
75
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
76
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
83
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
84
======================
90
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
91
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
93
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
94
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
95
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
96
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
97
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
98
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
99
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
100
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
101
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
102
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
103
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
104
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
109
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
110
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
111
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
112
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
113
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
114
for further details. (Robert Collins)
116
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
117
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
118
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
121
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
123
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
124
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
126
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
127
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
130
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
131
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
132
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
136
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
137
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
139
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
140
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
142
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
143
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
144
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
145
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
147
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
150
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
151
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
152
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
153
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
155
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
156
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
158
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
159
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
161
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
162
the contents. (Robert Collins)
164
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
165
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
169
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
170
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
172
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
173
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
175
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
176
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
178
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
179
(Martin Pool, #63894)
181
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
182
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
186
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
188
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
193
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
194
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
195
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
197
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
198
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
200
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
201
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
203
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
204
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
205
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
206
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
208
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
209
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
210
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
211
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
212
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
214
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
215
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
219
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
221
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
222
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
224
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
227
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
230
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
231
contains a symbolic link.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
234
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
235
(James Westby, #140615)
237
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
238
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
241
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
242
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
243
(Martin Pool, #144633)
245
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
247
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
250
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
254
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
255
directory to detect leaking tests.
256
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
258
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
259
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
260
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
262
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
265
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
266
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
268
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
273
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
274
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
276
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
277
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
278
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
280
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
281
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
282
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
284
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
285
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
287
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
288
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
290
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
291
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
294
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
295
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
297
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
301
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
302
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
304
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
305
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
306
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
308
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
309
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
310
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
313
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
314
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
315
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
316
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
321
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
322
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
323
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
325
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
326
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
327
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
328
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
330
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
331
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
334
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
335
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
336
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
338
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
339
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
340
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
342
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
343
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
345
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
346
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
347
to complete. (Robert Collins)
349
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
350
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
352
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
353
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
354
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
356
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
357
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
358
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
360
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
361
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
362
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
363
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
365
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
366
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
367
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
368
returned. (Robert Collins)
370
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
371
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
373
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
374
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
375
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
376
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
379
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
380
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
384
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
385
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
387
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
388
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
389
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
390
makes this behavior available to other users.
393
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
394
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
402
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
403
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
404
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
406
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
408
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
409
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
410
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
411
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
413
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
414
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
418
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
419
======================
421
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
425
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
426
======================
430
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
431
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
432
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
433
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
436
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
437
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
438
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
443
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
444
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
445
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
448
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
449
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
450
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
452
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
453
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
454
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
456
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
457
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
459
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
460
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
461
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
462
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
463
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
464
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
465
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
466
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
467
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
468
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
470
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
471
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
473
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
474
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
475
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
479
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
480
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
482
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
483
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
484
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
486
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
487
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
489
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
490
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
492
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
495
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
496
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
498
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
499
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
501
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
502
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
504
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
505
(Blake Winton, #129299)
507
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
509
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
512
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
513
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
514
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
515
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
517
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
519
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
520
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
523
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
524
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
526
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
527
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
530
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
531
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
533
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
534
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
536
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
537
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
538
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
539
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
540
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
541
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
542
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
544
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
545
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
547
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
548
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
550
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
551
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
553
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
554
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
556
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
560
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
561
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
563
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
564
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
565
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
567
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
568
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
569
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
573
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
574
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
576
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
579
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
582
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
583
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
585
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
587
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
588
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
590
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
591
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
593
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
594
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
595
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
596
space). (Robert Collins)
598
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
599
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
602
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
603
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
605
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
606
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
608
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
609
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
610
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
611
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
613
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
614
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
615
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
618
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
621
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
622
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
623
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
625
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
626
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
627
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
628
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
629
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
633
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
634
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
636
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
637
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
638
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
639
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
640
affected. (Robert Collins)
642
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
643
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
644
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
647
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
648
previous release. (Martin Pool)
652
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
653
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
655
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
656
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
658
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
659
previous release. (Martin Pool)
661
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
664
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
665
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
669
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
670
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
671
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
672
its version information. (Robert Collins)
674
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
675
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
677
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
678
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
679
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
680
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
682
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
683
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
684
present. (Robert Collins)
686
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
687
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
688
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
689
API. (Robert Collins)
691
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
692
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
695
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
696
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
698
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
699
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
700
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
701
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
702
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
703
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
705
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
706
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
707
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
709
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
710
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
711
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
712
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
715
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
718
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
719
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
720
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
721
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
722
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
723
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
724
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
726
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
727
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
728
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
729
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
731
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
732
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
733
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
734
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
735
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
736
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
738
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
739
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
740
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
742
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
743
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
751
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
752
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
753
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
754
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
755
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
756
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
757
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
758
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
763
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
764
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
765
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
768
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
769
======================
773
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
774
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
775
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
776
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
777
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
779
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
782
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
786
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
787
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
790
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
791
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
794
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
797
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
798
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
800
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
801
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
803
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
804
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
806
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
807
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
809
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
810
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
812
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
817
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
818
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
820
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
821
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
823
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
824
the repository (Robert Collins)
826
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
827
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
828
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
829
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
830
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
832
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
833
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
835
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
836
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
839
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
840
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
841
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
843
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
844
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
845
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
848
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
849
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
852
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
853
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
855
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
858
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
860
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
862
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
863
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
865
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
866
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
869
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
870
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
871
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
872
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
874
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
875
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
876
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
878
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
879
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
880
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
882
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
883
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
885
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
886
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
887
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
888
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
889
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
890
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
893
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
894
(Alexander Belchenko)
896
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
897
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
899
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
900
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
902
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
904
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
905
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
909
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
910
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
911
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
912
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
914
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
916
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
919
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
920
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
921
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
922
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
923
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
924
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
928
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
929
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
930
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
931
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
933
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
934
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
935
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
936
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
937
tests have been refactored too.
940
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
941
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
942
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
946
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
947
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
948
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
950
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
951
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
952
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
953
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
954
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
955
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
956
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
958
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
959
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
960
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
961
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
964
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
965
functionality for testing.
967
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
969
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
970
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
972
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
974
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
977
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
978
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
980
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
981
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
982
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
984
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
987
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
988
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
990
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
991
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
992
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
993
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
995
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
996
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
998
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
999
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1000
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1002
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1005
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1006
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1007
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1008
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1009
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1010
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1012
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1013
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1014
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1015
many files. (Robert Collins)
1017
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1018
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1019
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1020
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1024
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1025
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1026
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1028
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1029
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1031
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1032
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1033
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1045
=======================
1049
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1050
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1052
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1053
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1054
(James Westby, #122656)
1056
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1057
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1059
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1060
authentication header.
1061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1063
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1065
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1066
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1068
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1070
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1073
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1074
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1075
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1077
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1078
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1079
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1081
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1082
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1084
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1087
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1088
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1090
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1092
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1096
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1097
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1098
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1099
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1100
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1101
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1103
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1104
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1105
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1107
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1110
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1111
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1113
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1114
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1116
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1117
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1119
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1120
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1121
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1122
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1123
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1125
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1126
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1128
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1129
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1130
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1132
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1133
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1135
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1137
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1138
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1140
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1141
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1144
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1147
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1148
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1150
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1151
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1153
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1154
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1156
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1158
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1159
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1161
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1166
* Testing cleanups -
1167
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1168
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1169
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1170
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1171
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1172
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1173
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1174
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1175
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1176
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1177
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1178
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1179
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1180
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1181
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1182
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1183
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1186
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1188
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1189
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1190
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1192
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1193
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1195
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1196
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1198
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1200
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1201
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1202
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1203
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1204
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1205
same location. (Robert Collins)
1209
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1211
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1213
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1215
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1218
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1221
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1222
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1223
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1225
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1227
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1228
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1229
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1231
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1232
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1234
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1235
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1236
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1238
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1239
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1240
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1242
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1243
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1244
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1246
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1247
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1250
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1251
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1253
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1254
(Alexander Belchenko)
1258
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1259
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1260
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1261
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1263
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1264
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1265
testing. (Robert Collins)
1267
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1268
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1270
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1271
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1272
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1273
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1274
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1275
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1276
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1278
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1279
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1280
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1281
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1283
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1284
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1286
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1287
avoid useless cloning.
1288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)

====================
1296
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1297
(Colin Watson, #120647)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1304
=======================
1306
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1308
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1309
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1310
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1311
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1312
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1313
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1314
and unlock() like so::
1316
work_tree.lock_read()
1318
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1323
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1324
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1326
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1327
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1328
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1330
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1331
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1332
too. (Robert Collins)
1336
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1337
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1340
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1341
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1343
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1344
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1346
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1347
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1348
understanding what changes have occurred
1349
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1351
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1352
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1353
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1355
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1356
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1357
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1358
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1360
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1365
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1366
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1367
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1368
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1369
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1371
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1372
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1373
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1375
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1376
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1378
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1382
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1383
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1385
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1386
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1388
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1389
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1391
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1392
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1394
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1395
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1397
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1398
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1399
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1402
====================
1406
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1407
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1408
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1409
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1410
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1412
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1413
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1414
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1416
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1417
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1421
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1422
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1423
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1425
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1426
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1427
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1428
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1430
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1431
=======================
1435
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1436
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1437
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1438
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1440
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1441
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1442
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1444
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1445
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1447
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1448
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1450
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1451
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1453
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1454
=======================
1456
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1458
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1459
it could be recovered again.
1460
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1461
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1462
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1464
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1466
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1467
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1471
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1472
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1474
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1475
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1476
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1477
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1479
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1480
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1482
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1483
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1484
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1486
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1487
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1488
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1490
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1491
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1492
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1494
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1495
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1498
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1501
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1502
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1503
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1504
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1506
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1509
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1510
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1511
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1514
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1515
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1517
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1518
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1520
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1521
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1522
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1523
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1526
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1527
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1529
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1530
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1532
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1533
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1534
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1536
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1537
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1538
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1540
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1541
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1542
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1544
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1545
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1546
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1547
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1549
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1550
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1551
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1552
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1554
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1555
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1556
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1557
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1558
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1559
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1560
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1561
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1567
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1568
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1570
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1571
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1572
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1573
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1574
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1576
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1577
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1579
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1580
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1582
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1583
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1585
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1586
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1588
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1589
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1590
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1593
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1594
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1595
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1596
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1597
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1600
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1601
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1602
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1604
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1605
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1608
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1609
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1610
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1613
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1614
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1615
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1616
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1617
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1619
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1620
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1621
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1622
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1624
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1625
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1627
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1628
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1629
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1630
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1631
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1632
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1634
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1635
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1637
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1638
help. (Robert Collins)
1640
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1641
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1643
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1644
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1645
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1646
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1647
(John Arbash Meinel)
1649
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1650
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1651
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1652
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1653
useful. (Robert Collins)
1655
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1660
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1661
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1663
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1664
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1666
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1667
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1668
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1670
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1673
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1674
the file, and does it faster.
1675
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1677
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1678
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1679
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1681
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1682
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1683
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1684
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1686
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1687
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1688
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1689
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1691
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1692
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1694
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1695
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1696
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1697
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1700
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1702
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1703
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1705
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1706
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1708
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1709
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1710
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1711
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1715
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1720
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1721
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1722
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1724
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1725
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1727
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1728
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1729
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1730
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1731
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1732
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1733
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1734
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1736
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1737
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1738
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1740
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1741
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1742
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1743
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1744
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1746
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1748
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1749
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1750
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1752
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1753
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1761
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1764
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1765
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1768
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1769
=======================
1773
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1774
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1779
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1780
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1781
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1782
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1783
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1784
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1785
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1786
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1791
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1792
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1793
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1795
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1796
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1799
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1800
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1801
(John Arbash Meinel)
1803
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1804
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1805
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1806
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1807
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1811
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1814
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1815
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1817
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1818
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1820
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1821
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1822
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1824
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1825
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1827
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1828
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1829
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1830
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1831
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1833
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1834
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1835
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1837
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1840
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1841
=======================
1843
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1845
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1846
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1847
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1851
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1852
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1854
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1855
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1857
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1859
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1860
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1862
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1863
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1867
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1872
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1873
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1874
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1875
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1877
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1878
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1880
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1881
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1883
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1886
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1887
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1890
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1891
=======================
1895
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1896
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1897
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1898
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1899
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1900
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1902
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1903
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1904
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1905
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1906
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1907
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1909
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1911
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1912
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1913
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1914
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1915
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1916
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1917
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1918
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1922
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1923
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1925
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1926
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1927
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1928
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1930
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1931
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1932
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1933
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1934
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1936
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1939
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1942
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1945
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1946
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1949
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1952
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1953
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1955
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1956
directory. (Martin Pool)
1958
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1959
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1960
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1961
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1963
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1964
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1965
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1966
in docs/configuration.txt.
1968
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1969
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1972
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1973
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1974
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1975
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1976
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1977
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1979
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1980
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1982
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1983
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1985
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1990
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1991
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1992
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1993
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1994
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1995
(John Arbash Meinel)
1997
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1998
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2001
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2002
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2003
(John Arbash Meinel)
2005
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2006
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2007
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2008
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2009
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2010
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2012
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2013
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2014
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2016
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2017
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2018
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2019
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2021
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2023
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2024
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2025
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2026
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2028
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2029
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2030
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2031
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2033
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2034
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2035
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2037
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2038
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2039
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2041
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2042
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2043
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2044
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2046
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2047
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2048
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2050
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2051
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2052
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2054
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2055
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2056
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2057
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2058
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2059
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2060
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2061
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2062
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2063
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2064
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2068
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2069
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2070
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2072
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2075
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2076
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2077
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2078
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2080
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2081
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2084
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2085
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2087
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2089
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2090
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2091
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2093
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2094
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2096
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2097
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2099
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2102
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2103
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2105
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2107
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2108
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2112
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2113
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2117
====================
2121
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2125
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2126
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2127
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2129
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2130
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2131
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2134
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2135
=======================
2139
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2140
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2141
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2142
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2144
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2147
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2148
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2149
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2151
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2152
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2154
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2157
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2158
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2159
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2160
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2161
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2162
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2164
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2165
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2166
should enable you to do::
2168
[/home/user/project]
2169
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2170
push_location:policy = appendpath
2172
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2173
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2176
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2177
for each file. For example::
2179
$ bzr status --short
2185
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2186
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2188
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2191
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2193
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2197
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2198
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2199
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2200
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2202
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2203
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2204
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2206
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2208
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2209
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2210
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2211
(Alexander Belchenko)
2213
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2216
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2217
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2219
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2223
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2224
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2226
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2227
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2228
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2229
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2230
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2232
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2233
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2235
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2236
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2238
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2240
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2242
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2243
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2244
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2245
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2246
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2248
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2249
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2250
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2251
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2253
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2254
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2256
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2257
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2259
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2260
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2262
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2263
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

====================
2269
No changes from 0.13rc1
2271
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2272
=======================
2276
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2278
(Daniel Silverstone)
2280
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2281
operations are substantially faster.
2282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2284
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2285
tree from some other url. For example:
2286
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2287
(Daniel Silverstone)
2289
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2290
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2291
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2292
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2294
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2297
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2298
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2299
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2300
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2301
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2302
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2306
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2307
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2310
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2311
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2312
(John Arbash Meinel)
2314
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2315
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2316
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2317
(John Arbash Meinel)
2319
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2320
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2322
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2323
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2325
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2326
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2331
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2332
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2333
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2335
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2336
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2337
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2338
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2340
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2342
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2343
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2345
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2346
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2347
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2350
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2351
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2352
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2354
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2355
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2356
them as full references rather than integers.
2357
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2359
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2360
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2362
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2364
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2365
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2367
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2368
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2370
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2371
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2372
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2373
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2375
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2376
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2377
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2379
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2380
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2382
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2383
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2384
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2385
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2386
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2390
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2391
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2394
====================
2398
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2399
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2400
(John Arbash Meinel)
2402
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2403
=======================
2407
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2408
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2409
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2410
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2412
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2413
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2415
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2417
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2418
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2419
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2420
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2422
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2423
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2424
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2425
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2426
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2428
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2430
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2431
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2435
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2436
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2437
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2439
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2440
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2441
(John Arbash Meinel)
2443
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2444
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2445
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2447
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2448
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2451
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2452
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2453
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2455
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2456
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2457
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2458
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2459
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2460
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2462
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2463
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2464
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2467
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2468
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2472
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2473
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2474
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2477
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2478
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2480
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2481
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2482
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2484
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2485
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2487
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2488
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2489
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2490
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2492
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2493
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2495
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2496
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2497
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2499
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2500
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2502
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2504
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2505
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2510
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2511
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2512
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2513
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2515
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2516
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2517
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2520
====================
2522
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2524
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2525
=======================
2529
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2531
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2534
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2535
=======================
2539
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2540
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2541
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2542
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2543
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2544
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2545
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2547
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2548
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2549
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2551
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2553
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2554
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2556
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2557
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2558
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2561
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2562
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2563
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2564
(John Arbash Meinel)
2566
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2567
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2568
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2569
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2572
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2573
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2574
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2575
(John Arbash Meinel)
2579
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2580
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2582
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2584
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2585
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2586
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2588
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2589
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2591
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2592
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2594
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2597
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2598
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2600
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2602
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2603
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2605
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2606
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2608
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2609
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2611
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2612
(John Arbash Meinel)
2614
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2615
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2616
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2618
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2619
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2621
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2622
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2623
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2624
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2626
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2627
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2628
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2630
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2631
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2635
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2639
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2640
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2641
(John Arbash Meinel)
2643
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2644
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2645
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2646
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2648
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2651
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2652
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2653
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2655
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2656
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2658
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2659
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2660
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2662
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2663
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2664
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2665
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2666
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2667
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2668
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2669
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2670
caller to repeat their request.
2671
(John Arbash Meinel)
2673
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2674
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2676
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2677
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2679
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2680
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2681
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2682
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2683
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2684
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2685
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2687
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2688
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2689
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2690
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2691
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2692
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2693
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2694
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2697
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2698
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2699
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2701
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2702
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2704
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2705
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2707
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2708
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2712
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2713
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2715
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2716
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2717
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2719
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2720
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2721
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2724
====================
2727
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2728
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2730
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2731
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2732
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2733
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2734
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2736
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2737
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2738
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2740
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2741
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2743
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2744
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2745
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2749
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2751
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2752
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2753
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2755
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2757
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2759
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2760
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2761
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2762
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2764
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2765
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2766
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2767
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2768
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2770
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2771
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2773
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2774
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2776
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2777
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2779
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2780
in handling of revision properties.
2781
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2783
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2784
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2788
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2789
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2790
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2791
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2792
(John Arbash Meinel)
2794
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2795
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2796
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2798
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2799
=====================
2803
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2804
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2805
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2806
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2807
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2808
a more conservative list than the old default.
2809
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2810
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2811
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2812
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2814
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2815
to more locations than just branch locations.
2820
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2821
revno:N:branch. For example,
2822
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2823
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2825
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2826
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2827
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2828
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2829
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2830
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2831
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2832
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2835
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2836
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2837
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2840
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2841
(Alexander Belchenko)
2843
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2845
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2848
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2849
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2850
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2851
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2852
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2853
(John Arbash Meinel)
2855
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2856
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2857
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2858
grained analysis of performance.
2859
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2861
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2862
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2864
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2865
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2866
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2867
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2868
file. (Robert Collins).
2870
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2871
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2872
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2874
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2875
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2878
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2879
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2881
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2882
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2883
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2884
the same way you would apply another branch.
2885
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2887
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2888
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2890
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2893
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2896
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2897
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2898
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2900
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2901
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2902
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2904
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2905
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2907
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2908
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2909
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2910
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2911
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2913
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2914
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2916
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2917
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2918
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2919
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2920
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2921
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2922
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2923
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2925
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2926
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2927
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2931
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2933
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2935
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2936
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2938
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2939
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2941
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2942
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2944
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2946
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2947
(John Arbash Meinel)
2949
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2950
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2952
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2953
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2956
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2957
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2959
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2960
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2962
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2963
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2964
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2965
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2967
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2968
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2970
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2972
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2973
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2975
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2977
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2979
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2980
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2982
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2983
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2985
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2986
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2987
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2989
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2990
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2991
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2993
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2994
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2996
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2997
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2999
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3000
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3002
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3003
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3005
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3006
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3008
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3009
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3010
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3012
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3014
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3015
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3019
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3020
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3021
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3023
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3024
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3026
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3027
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3028
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3030
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3031
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3033
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3034
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3037
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3038
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3039
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3041
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3042
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3043
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3045
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3046
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3047
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3049
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3050
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3051
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3053
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3054
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3055
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3057
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3058
instead. (Robert Collins)
3060
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3062
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3063
=====================
3067
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3069
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3070
=====================
3074
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3075
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3077
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3078
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3080
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3081
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3082
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3086
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3088
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3089
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3091
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3095
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3096
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3097
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3098
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3102
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3103
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3104
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3108
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3109
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3110
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3114
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3115
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3120
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3122
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3123
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3124
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3125
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3126
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3127
will keep the same format.
3129
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3130
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3131
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3132
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3133
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3135
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3136
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3137
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3138
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3139
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3140
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3141
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3143
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3144
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3145
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3146
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3147
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3149
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3150
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3151
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3157
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3158
convention. Paths now take the form::
3160
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3162
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3164
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3165
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3167
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3168
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3169
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3171
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3172
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3173
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3174
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3176
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3177
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3178
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3180
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3182
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3184
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3185
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3188
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3189
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3192
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3194
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3195
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3196
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3199
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3201
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3203
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3206
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3207
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3209
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3210
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3213
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3214
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3217
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3219
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3221
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3222
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3224
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3225
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3226
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3227
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3228
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3229
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3231
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3233
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3234
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3237
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3238
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3240
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3241
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3243
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3245
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3246
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3247
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3248
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3249
specification by Martin Pool.
3250
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3252
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3255
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3256
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3258
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3259
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3260
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3262
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3264
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3265
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3270
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3271
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3273
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3275
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3277
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3280
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3281
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3282
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3283
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3287
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3288
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3289
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3290
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3292
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3293
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3294
tried. (Martin Pool)
3296
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3299
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3301
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3302
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3303
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3305
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3306
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3308
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3309
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3310
paths. (Robert Collins)
3312
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3313
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3314
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3316
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3317
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3318
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3320
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3321
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3322
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3324
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3327
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3330
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3332
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3334
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3335
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3336
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3339
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3340
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3342
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3343
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3344
check. (Robert Collins)
3346
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3347
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3351
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3352
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3354
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3355
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3356
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3357
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3359
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3360
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3361
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3362
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3363
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3365
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3366
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3367
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3369
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3371
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3372
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3379
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3380
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3382
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3383
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3384
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3387
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3388
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3390
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3391
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3392
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3393
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3394
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3396
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3397
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3398
used. (Robert Collins)
3400
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3401
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3404
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3405
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3406
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3408
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3411
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3412
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3416
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3417
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3419
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3421
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3423
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3424
tree. (Robert Collins)
3426
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3427
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3428
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3431
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3434
* Tweaks to short log printing
3436
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3439
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3440
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3442
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3443
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3445
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3446
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3448
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3449
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3450
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3452
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3453
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3455
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3456
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3459
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3460
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3462
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3463
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3465
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3466
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3468
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3471
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3472
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3474
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3475
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3477
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3478
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3479
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3483
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3485
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3487
* Error when run with -OO
3489
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3492
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3494
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3496
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3497
ignored by diff and status
3499
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3500
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3502
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3504
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3506
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3507
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3509
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3510
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3512
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3515
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3516
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3518
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3520
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3521
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3523
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3526
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3527
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3529
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3533
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3534
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3536
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3538
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3540
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3542
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3543
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3544
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3546
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3548
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3549
(John Arbash Meinel)
3551
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3553
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3554
If adding a new test script please add that to
3555
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3557
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3558
imported. (Martin Pool)
3560
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3561
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3562
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3563
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3564
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3567
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3568
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3569
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3571
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3572
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3573
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3575
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3576
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3577
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3578
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3579
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3582
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3583
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3588
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3589
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3591
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3592
function. (Robert Collins)
3594
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3595
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3596
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3598
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3599
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3602
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3603
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3604
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3605
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3606
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3607
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3608
version. (Robert Collins)
3610
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3611
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3613
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3614
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3615
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3616
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3617
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3618
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3620
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3623
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3633
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3635
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3637
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3640
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3641
query method. (Robert Collins)
3643
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3646
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3649
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3652
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3653
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3654
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3655
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3657
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3658
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3659
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3660
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3662
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3663
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3670
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3673
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3677
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3678
a separator, not ':'.
3681
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3682
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3683
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3685
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3686
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3689
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3690
has been added that suppresses all output.
3692
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3695
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3696
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3698
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3699
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3701
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3702
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3704
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3705
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3706
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3707
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3709
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3711
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3712
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3714
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3715
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3717
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3718
output directory, if one was supplied.
3720
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3721
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3722
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3723
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3725
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3727
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3728
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3730
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3731
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3732
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3734
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3735
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3737
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3740
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3742
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3746
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3747
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3748
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3750
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3751
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3752
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3754
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3755
is given. (Martin Pool)
3757
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3758
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3759
file. (Robert Collins)
3761
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3766
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3767
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3768
representation. (Martin Pool).
3770
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3771
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3772
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3774
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3777
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3778
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3781
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3782
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3783
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3784
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3785
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3787
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3788
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3789
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3790
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3791
python path. (Robert Collins)
3793
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3794
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3795
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3796
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3798
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3799
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3801
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3802
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3805
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3806
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3807
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3809
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3810
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3811
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3813
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3814
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3816
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3817
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3818
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3821
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3822
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3823
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3824
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3827
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3830
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3831
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3834
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3835
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3836
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3838
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3839
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3840
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3842
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3843
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3844
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3846
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3847
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3849
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3850
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3851
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3852
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3853
caller. (Robert Collins)
3855
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3856
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3859
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3860
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3863
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3865
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3866
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3870
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3871
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3873
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3874
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3877
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3878
====================
3882
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3883
allow directories to be listed.
3885
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3886
upgrading branch format.
3890
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3898
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3899
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3900
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3901
high-latency connections.
3905
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3908
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3909
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3911
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3912
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3913
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3914
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3916
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3917
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3919
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3920
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3922
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3923
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3924
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3926
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3927
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3928
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3931
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3932
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3934
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3935
different partial views of history.
3937
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3938
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3942
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3943
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3944
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3946
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3947
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3950
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3951
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3953
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3956
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3957
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3959
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3960
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3961
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3962
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3964
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3966
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3967
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3970
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3971
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3973
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3974
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3975
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3980
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3981
for your viewing pleasure.
3983
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3984
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3986
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3987
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3988
handling of such circumstances.
3990
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3991
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3992
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3994
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3996
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3997
we call them revisions not patches.
3999
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4000
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4002
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4003
giving the revision *of that file*.
4005
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4006
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4007
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4011
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4012
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4014
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4015
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4018
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4019
====================
4023
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4025
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4028
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4030
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4032
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4033
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4037
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4038
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4040
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4041
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4042
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4043
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4046
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4047
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4051
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4053
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4054
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4057
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4058
====================
4062
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4063
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4064
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4065
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4068
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4071
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4072
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4073
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4074
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4075
for the operating system is still tried.
4077
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4078
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4079
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4084
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4088
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4090
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4093
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4099
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4101
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4104
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4105
====================
4109
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4110
help with intelligent shell completion.
4112
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4117
* Much better merge support.
4119
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4120
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4126
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4127
mention revisions that are not present.
4129
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4131
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4133
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4134
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4139
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4141
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4142
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4148
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4149
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4154
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4155
====================
4159
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4160
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4162
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4164
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4165
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4167
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4170
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4172
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4175
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4176
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4178
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4179
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4180
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4185
* Faster working tree operations.
4190
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4191
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4192
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4193
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4195
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4196
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4197
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4198
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4199
standard plugins directory.
4201
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4202
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4203
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4204
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4206
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4207
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4209
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4212
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4213
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4214
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4216
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4217
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4219
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4220
line options must come before the command name because they
4221
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4222
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4225
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4227
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4228
is available with ``--short``.
4233
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4236
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4237
=====================
4241
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4242
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4244
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4245
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4246
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4247
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4249
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4250
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4251
with the ``--forward`` option.
4253
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4254
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4260
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4261
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4263
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4265
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4266
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4268
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4270
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4271
either read or write mode.
4273
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4275
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4278
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4280
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4281
suggested by LarstiQ.
4283
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4284
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4286
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4289
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4290
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4292
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4293
haven't changed since the previous time.
4295
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4296
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4298
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4300
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4302
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4303
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4305
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4306
options through to an external GNU diff.
4308
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4311
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4317
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4318
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4320
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4326
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4327
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4330
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4331
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4333
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4334
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4336
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4337
under a different version.
4339
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4344
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4346
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4347
Scott James Remnant.
4349

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4373
=====================
4377
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4378
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4380
* More default ignore patterns.
4382
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4383
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4385

4387
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch

* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4396
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4397
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4398
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4399
there are DNS problems.
4401
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4406
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4408

4411
trailing newlines properly.
4416

4422
directory and delete it when done.
4424
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4429
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4432
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

4465
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
