NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
15
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
16
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
17
18
FEATURES:
19
20
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
21
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
22
supported transports.
23
(Vincent Ladeuil)
24
25
PERFORMANCE:
26
27
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
28
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
29
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
30
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
31
32
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
33
(Robert Collins, #88319)
34
35
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
36
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
37
38
IMPROVEMENTS:
39
40
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
41
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
42
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
43
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
44
45
DOCUMENTATION:
46
47
BUG FIXES:
48
49
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
50
(Robert Collins, #157789)
51
52
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
53
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
54
55
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
56
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
57
58
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
59
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
60
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
61
62
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
63
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
64
65
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
66
(Robert Collins, #161240)
67
68
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
69
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
70
71
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
72
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
73
74
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
75
(Robert Collins, #153789)
76
77
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
78
79
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
80
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
81
82
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
83
Watkins, #152811)
84
85
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
86
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
87
88
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
89
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
90
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
91
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
92
93
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
94
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
95
96
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
97
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
98
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
99
100
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
102
103
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
104
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
105
106
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
107
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
108
109
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
110
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
111
112
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
113
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
114
115
API BREAKS:
116
117
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
118
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
119
120
* The return value of
121
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
122
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
123
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
124
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
125
126
INTERNALS:
127
128
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
129
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
130
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
131
Bennetts)
132
133
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
134
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
135
136
TESTING:
137
138
139
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
140
======================
141
142
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
143
144
CHANGES:
145
146
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
147
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
148
149
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
150
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
151
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
152
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
153
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
154
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
155
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
156
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
157
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
158
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
159
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
160
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
161
(Robert Collins)
162
163
FEATURES:
164
165
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
166
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
167
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
168
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
169
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
170
for further details. (Robert Collins)
171
172
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
173
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
174
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
175
(Robert Collins)
176
177
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
178
179
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
180
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
181
182
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
183
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
184
(Aaron Bentley)
185
186
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
187
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
188
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
189
190
PERFORMANCE:
191
192
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
193
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
194
195
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
196
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
197
198
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
199
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
200
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
201
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
202
203
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
204
(Robert Collins)
205
206
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
207
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
208
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
209
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
210
211
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
212
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
213
214
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
215
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
218
the contents. (Robert Collins)
219
220
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
221
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
222
223
IMPROVEMENTS:
224
225
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
226
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
227
228
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
229
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
230
231
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
232
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
233
234
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
235
(Martin Pool, #63894)
236
237
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
238
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
239
240
DOCUMENTATION:
241
242
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
243
244
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
245
(Ian Clatworthy)
246
247
BUG FIXES:
248
249
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
250
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
251
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
252
253
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
254
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
255
256
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
257
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
258
259
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
260
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
261
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
262
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
263
264
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
265
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
266
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
267
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
268
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
269
270
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
271
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
272
paramiko.
273
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
274
275
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
276
277
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
278
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
279
280
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
282
283
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
285
286
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
287
contains a symbolic link.
288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
289
290
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
291
(James Westby, #140615)
292
293
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
294
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
296
297
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
298
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
299
(Martin Pool, #144633)
300
301
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
302
303
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
305
306
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
307
will remain opened.
308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
309
310
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
311
directory to detect leaking tests.
312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
313
314
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
315
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
316
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
317
318
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
319
(Rob Weir, #141629)
320
321
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
322
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
323
324
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
325
Merwe)
326
327
API BREAKS:
328
329
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
330
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
331
332
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
333
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
334
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
335
336
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
337
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
338
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
339
340
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
341
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
342
343
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
344
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
345
346
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
347
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
348
(Martin Pool)
349
350
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
351
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
352
353
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
354
class that needs it.
355
(Martin Pool)
356
357
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
358
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
359
360
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
361
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
362
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
363
364
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
365
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
366
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
367
(Robert Collins)
368
369
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
370
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
371
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
372
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
373
(Robert Collins)
374
375
INTERNALS:
376
377
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
378
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
379
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
380
381
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
382
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
383
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
384
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
385
386
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
387
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
388
(Robert Collins)
389
390
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
391
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
392
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
393
394
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
395
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
396
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
397
398
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
399
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
400
401
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
402
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
403
to complete. (Robert Collins)
404
405
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
406
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
407
408
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
409
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
410
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
411
412
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
413
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
414
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
415
416
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
417
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
418
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
419
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
420
421
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
422
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
423
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
424
returned. (Robert Collins)
425
426
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
427
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
428
429
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
430
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
431
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
432
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
433
(Robert Collins)
434
435
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
436
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
437
438
TESTING:
439
440
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
441
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
442
443
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
444
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
445
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
446
makes this behavior available to other users.

450
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

454
===================
455
456
BUG FIXES:
457
458
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
459
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
460
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
461
462
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
463
464
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
465
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
466
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
467
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
468
469
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
470
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
475
======================
476
477
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
478
in bzrlib/remote.py.

bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
482
======================
483
484
CHANGES:
485
486
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
487
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
488
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
489
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
490
(Martin Pool)
491
492
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
493
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
494
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
495
(Ian Clatworthy)
496
497
FEATURES:
498
499
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
500
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
501
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
502
(Lukáš Lalinský)
503
504
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
505
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
506
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
507
508
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
509
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
510
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
511
512
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
513
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
514
515
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
516
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
517
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
518
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
519
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
520
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
521
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
522
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
523
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
524
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
525
526
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
527
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
528
529
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
530
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
531
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
532
533
BUG FIXES:
534
535
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
536
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
537
538
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
539
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
540
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
541
542
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
543
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
544
545
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
546
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
547
548
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
549
(Aaron Bentley)
550
551
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
552
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
553
554
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
555
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
556
557
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
558
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
559
560
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
561
(Blake Winton, #129299)
562
563
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
564
565
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
566
Watkins, #106726)
567
568
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
569
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
570
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
571
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
572
573
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
574
575
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
576
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
577
#133548)
578
579
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
580
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
581
582
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
583
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
584
#116143)
585
586
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
587
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
588
589
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
590
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
591
592
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
593
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
594
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
595
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
596
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
597
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
598
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
599
600
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
601
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
602
603
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
604
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
605
606
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
607
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
608
609
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
611
612
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
613
connections.
614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
615
616
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
617
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
618
619
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
620
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
621
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
622
623
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
624
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
625
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
626
627
IMPROVEMENTS:
628
629
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
630
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
631
632
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
633
(Aaron Bentley)
634
635
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
636
(Aaron Bentley)
637
638
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
639
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
640
641
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
642
643
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
644
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
645
646
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
647
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
648
649
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
650
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
651
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
652
space). (Robert Collins)
653
654
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
655
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
656
(Ian Clatworthy)
657
658
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
659
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
660
661
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
662
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
663
664
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
665
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
666
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
667
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
668
669
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
670
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
671
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
672
(Lukáš Lalinský)
673
674
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
675
(Ian Clatworthy)
676
677
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
678
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
679
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
680
681
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
682
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
683
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
684
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
685
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
686
687
API BREAKS:
688
689
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
690
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
691
692
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
693
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
694
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
695
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
696
affected. (Robert Collins)
697
698
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
699
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
700
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
701
(Robert Collins)
702
703
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
704
previous release. (Martin Pool)
705
706
TESTING:
707
708
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
709
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
710
711
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
712
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
713
714
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
715
previous release. (Martin Pool)
716
717
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
718
(Aaron Bentley)
719
720
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
721
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
722
723
INTERNALS:
724
725
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
726
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
727
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
728
its version information. (Robert Collins)
729
730
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
731
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
732
733
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
734
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
735
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
736
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
737
738
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
739
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
740
present. (Robert Collins)
741
742
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
743
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
744
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
745
API. (Robert Collins)
746
747
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
748
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
749
(Robert Collins)
750
751
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
752
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
753
754
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
755
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
756
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
757
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
758
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
759
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
760
761
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
762
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
763
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
764
765
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
766
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
767
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
768
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
769
protocol.
770
771
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
772
(Aaron Bentley)
773
774
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
775
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
776
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
777
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
778
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
779
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
780
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
781
782
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
783
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
784
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
785
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
786
787
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
788
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
789
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
790
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
791
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
792
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
793
794
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
795
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
796
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
797
798
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
799
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
800

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
803
===================
804
805
IMPROVEMENTS:
806
807
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
808
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
809
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
810
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
811
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
812
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
813
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
814
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
815
816
817
API CHANGES:
818
819
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
820
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
821
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
822
823
824
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
825
======================
826
827
BUGFIXES:
828
829
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
830
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
831
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
832
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
833
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
834
835
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
836
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
837
838
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
839
anymore.
840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
841
842
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
843
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
844
(Vincent Ladeuil)
845
846
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
847
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
848
#111664)
849
850
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
851
(Lukáš Lalinský)
852
853
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
854
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
855
856
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
857
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
858
859
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
860
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
861
862
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
863
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
864
865
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
866
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
867
868
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
869
(Aaron Bentley)
870
871
IMPROVEMENTS:
872
873
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
874
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
875
876
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
877
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
878
879
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
880
the repository (Robert Collins)
881
882
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
883
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
884
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
885
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
886
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
887
888
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
889
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
890
891
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
892
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
893
(John Arbash Meinel)
894
895
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
896
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
897
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
898
about 10%).
899
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
900
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
901
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
902
(John Arbash Meinel)
903
904
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
905
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
906
(Robert Collins)
907
908
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
909
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
910
911
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
912
(Ian Clatworthy)
913
914
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
915
916
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
917
918
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
919
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
920
921
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
922
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
923
Meinel)
924
925
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
926
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
927
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
928
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
929
930
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
931
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
932
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
933
934
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
935
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
936
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
937
938
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
939
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
940
941
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
942
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
943
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
944
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
945
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
946
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
947
(Ian Clatworthy)
948
949
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
950
(Alexander Belchenko)
951
952
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
953
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
954
955
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
956
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
957
958
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
959
960
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
961
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
962
963
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
964
965
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
966
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
967
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
968
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
969
970
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
971
972
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
973
(Robert Collins)
974
975
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
976
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
977
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
978
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
979
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
980
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
981
982
INTERNALS:
983
984
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
985
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
986
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
987
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
988
989
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
990
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
991
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
992
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
993
tests have been refactored too.
994
(Vincent Ladeuil)
995
996
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
997
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
998
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
999
list, it will.
1000
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1001
1002
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1003
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1004
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1005
1006
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1007
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1008
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1009
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1010
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1011
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1012
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1013
1014
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1015
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1016
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1017
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1018
(John Arbash Meinel)
1019
1020
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1021
functionality for testing.
1022
1023
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1024
1025
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1026
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1027
1028
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1029
1030
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1031
(Robert Collins)
1032
1033
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1034
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1035
1036
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1037
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1038
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1039
1040
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1041
(Aaron Bentley)
1042
1043
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1044
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1045
1046
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1047
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1048
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1049
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1050
1051
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1052
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1053
1054
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1055
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1056
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1057
1058
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1059
(Marius Kruger)
1060
1061
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1062
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1063
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1064
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1065
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1066
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1067
1068
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1069
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1070
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1071
many files. (Robert Collins)
1072
1073
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1074
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1075
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1076
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1077
1078
TESTING:
1079
1080
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1081
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1082
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1083
1084
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1085
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1086
1087
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1088
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1089
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1104
1105
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1106
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1107
1108
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1109
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1110
(James Westby, #122656)
1111
1112
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1113

1114
1115
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1130
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1132
1133
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1134
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1135
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1136
1137
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1138
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1139
1140
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1142
1143
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1144
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1145
1146
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1147
1148
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1149
1150
IMPROVEMENTS:
1151
1152
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1153
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1154
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1155
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1156
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1157
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1158
1159
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1160
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1161
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1162
1163
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1164
(Elliot Murphy)
1165
1166
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1167
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1168
1169
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1170
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1171
1172
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1173
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1174
1175
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1176
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1177
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1178
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1179
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1180
1181
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1182
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1183
1184
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1185
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1186
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1187
1188
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1189
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1190
1191
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1192
1193
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1194
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1195
1196
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1197
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1198
(Robert Collins)
1199
1200
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1201
(Martin Pool)
1202
1203
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1204
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1205
1206
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1207
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1208
1209
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1210
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1211
1212
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1213
1214
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1215
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1216
1217
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1218
(Andrew Bennetts)
1219
1220
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1221
1222
* Testing cleanups -
1223
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1224
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1225
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1226
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1227
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1228
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1229
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1230
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1231
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1232
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1233
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1234
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1235
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1236
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1237
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1238
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1239
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1240
(Robert Collins)
1241
1242
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1243
1244
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1245
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1246
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1247
1248
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1249
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1250
1251
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1252
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1253
1254
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1255
1256
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1257
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1258
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1259
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1260
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1261
same location. (Robert Collins)
1262
1263
INTERNALS:
1264
1265
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1266
1267
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1268
1269
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1270
1271
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1272
(Martin Pool)
1273
1274
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1275
(Martin Pool)
1276
1277
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1278
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1279
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1280
1281
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1282
1283
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1284
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1285
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1286
1287
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1288
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1289
1290
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1291
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1292
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1293
1294
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1295
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1296
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1299
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1300
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1301
1302
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1303
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1304
Martin Pool)
1305
1306
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1307
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1308
1309
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1310
(Alexander Belchenko)
1311
1312
TESTING:
1313
1314
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1315
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1316
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1317
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1318
1319
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1320
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1321
testing. (Robert Collins)
1322
1323
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1324
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1325
1326
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1327
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1328
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1329
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1330
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1331
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1332
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1333
1334
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1335
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1336
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1337
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1338
1339
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1340
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1341
1342
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1343
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1363
1364
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1365
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1366
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1367
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1368
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1369
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1370
and unlock() like so::
1371
1372
work_tree.lock_read()
1373
try:
1374
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1375
finally:
1376
work_tree.unlock()
1377
1378
INTERNALS:
1379
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1380
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1381
object.
1382
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1383
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1384
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1385
1386
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1387
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1388
too. (Robert Collins)
1389
1390
IMPROVEMENTS:
1391
1392
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1393
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1394
Aaron Bentley)
1395
1396
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1397
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1398
1399
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1400
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1401
1402
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1403
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1404
understanding what changes have occurred
1405
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1406
1407
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1408
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1409
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1410
1411
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1412
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1413
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1414
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1415
1416
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1417
#56322)
1418
1419
BUGFIXES:
1420
1421
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1422
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1423
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1424
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1425
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1426
1427
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1428
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1429
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1430
1431
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1433
1434
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1435
into account.
1436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1437
1438
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1439
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1440
1441
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1442
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1443
1444
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1445
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1446
1447
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1448
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1449
1450
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1451
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1452
1453
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1454
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1455
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1456
1457
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
1458
====================
1459
1460
BUGFIXES:
1461
1462
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1463
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1464
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1465
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1466
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1467
1468
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1469
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1470
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1471
1472
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1473
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1474
1475
IMPROVEMENTS:
1476
1477
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1478
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1479
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1480
1481
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1482
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1483
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1484
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1485
1486
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1487
=======================
1488
1489
BUGFIXES:
1490
1491
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1492
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1493
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1494
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1495
1496
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1497
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1498
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1499
1500
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1501
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1502
1503
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1504
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1505
1506
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1507
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1508
1509
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1510
=======================
1511
1512
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1513
1514
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1515
it could be recovered again.
1516
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1517
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1518
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1519
but not delete it.
1520
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1521
files.
1522
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1523
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1524
1525
IMPROVEMENTS:
1526
1527
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1528
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1529
1530
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1531
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1532
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1533
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1534
1535
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1536
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1537
1538
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1539
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1540
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1541
1542
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1543
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1544
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1545
1546
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1547
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1548
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1549
1550
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1551
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1552
Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1555
Pool)
1556
1557
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1558
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1559
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1560
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1561
1562
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1563
(Robert Collins)
1564
1565
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1566
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1567
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1568
(Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1571
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1572
1573
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1574
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1575
1576
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1577
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1578
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1579
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1580
(Robert Collins)
1581
1582
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1583
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1584
1585
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1586
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1587
1588
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1589
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1590
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1591
1592
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1593
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1594
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1595
1596
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1597
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1598
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1599
1600
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1601
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1602
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1603
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1604
1605
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1606
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1607
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1608
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1609
1610
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1611
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1612
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1613
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1614
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1615
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1616
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1617
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1618
header(s).
1619
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1620
1621
INTERNALS:
1622
1623
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1624
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1625
1626
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1627
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1628
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1629
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1630
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1631
1632
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1633
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1634
1635
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1636
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1637
1638
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1639
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1640
1641
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1642
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1643
1644
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1645
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1646
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1647
(Robert Collins).
1648
1649
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1650
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1651
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1652
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1653
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1654
(Robert Collins)
1655
1656
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1657
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1658
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1659
1660
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1661
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1662
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1663
1664
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1665
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1666
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1667
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1668
1669
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1670
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1671
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1672
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1673
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1674
1675
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1676
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1677
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1678
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1679
1680
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1681
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1682
1683
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1684
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1685
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1686
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1687
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1688
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1689
1690
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1691
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1692
1693
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1694
help. (Robert Collins)
1695
1696
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1697
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1698
1699
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1700
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1701
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1702
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1703
(John Arbash Meinel)
1704
1705
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1706
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1707
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1708
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1709
useful. (Robert Collins)
1710
1711
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1712
(Andrew Bennetts)
1713
1714
BUGFIXES:
1715
1716
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1717
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1718
1719
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1720
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1721
1722
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1723
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1724
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1725
1726
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1727
(Aaron Bentley)
1728
1729
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1730
the file, and does it faster.
1731
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1732
1733
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1734
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1735
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1736
1737
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1738
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1739
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1740
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1741
1742
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1743
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1744
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1745
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1746
1747
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1748
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1749
1750
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1751
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1752
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1753
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1754
Arbash Meinel)
1755
1756
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1757
1758
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1759
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1760
1761
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1762
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1763
1764
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1765
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1766
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1767
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1768
security hole.
1769
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1770
1771
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1773
1774
TESTING:
1775
1776
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1777
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1778
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1779
1780
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1781
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1782
1783
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1784
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1785
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1786
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1787
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1788
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1789
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1790
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1791
1792
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1793
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1794
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1795
1796
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1797
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1798
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1799
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1800
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1801
access.
1802
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1803
1804
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1805
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1806
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1807
1808
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1809
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1837
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1838
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1839
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1840
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1841
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1842
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1843
path. (vila)
1844
1845
INTERNALS:
1846
1847
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1848
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1849
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1850
1851
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1852
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1853
(Martin Pool)
1854
1855
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1856
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1857
(John Arbash Meinel)
1858
1859
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1860
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1861
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1862
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1863
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1864
1865
BUGFIXES:
1866
1867
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1868
(vila, #92195)
1869
1870
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1871
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1872
1873
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1874
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1875
1876
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1877
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1878
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1879
1880
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1881
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1882
1883
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1884
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1885
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1886
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1887
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1888
1889
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1890
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1891
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1892
1893
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1897
=======================
1898
1899
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1900
1901
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1902
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1903
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1904
1905
IMPROVEMENTS:
1906
1907
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1908
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1909
1910
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1911
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1912
1913
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1914
1915
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1916
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1917
1918
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1919
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1920
1921
INTERNALS:
1922
1923
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1924
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1925
1926
BUGFIXES:
1927
1928
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1929
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1930
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1931
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1932
1933
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1934
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1935
1936
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1937
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1938
1939
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1940
(Marien Zwart)
1941
1942
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1947
=======================
1948
1949
SURPRISES:
1950
1951
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1952
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1953
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1954
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1955
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1956
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1957
1958
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1959
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1960
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1961
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1962
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1963
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1964
development.
1965
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1966
1967
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1968
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1969
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1970
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1971
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1972
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1973
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1974
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1975
1976
IMPROVEMENTS:
1977
1978
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1979
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1980
1981
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1982
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1983
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1984
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1985
does exist.
1986
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1987
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1988
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1989
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1990
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1991
1992
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1993
(Aaron Bentley)
1994
1995
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1996
(Aaron Bentley)
1997
1998
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1999
(Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2002
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2003
(Aaron Bentley)
2004
2005
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2006
(Aaron Bentley)
2007
2008
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2009
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2010
2011
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2012
directory. (Martin Pool)
2013
2014
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2015
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2016
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2017
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2018
2019
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2020
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2021
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2022
in docs/configuration.txt.
2023
2024
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2025
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2026
bind location.
2027
2028
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2029
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2030
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2031
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2032
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2033
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2034
2035
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2036
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2037
2038
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2039
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2040
2041
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2042
(Aaron Bentley)
2043
2044
INTERNALS:
2045
2046
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2047
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2048
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2049
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2050
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2051
(John Arbash Meinel)
2052
2053
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2054
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2055
(Aaron Bentley)
2056
2057
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2058
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2059
(John Arbash Meinel)
2060
2061
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2062
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2063
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2064
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2065
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2066
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2067
2068
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2069
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2070
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2071
2072
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2073
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2074
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2075
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2076
repository.
2077
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2078
2079
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2080
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2081
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2082
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2083
2084
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2085
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2086
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2087
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2088
2089
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2090
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2091
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2092
2093
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2094
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2095
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2096
2097
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2098
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2099
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2100
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2101
2102
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2103
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2104
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2105
2106
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2107
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2108
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2109
2110
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2111
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2112
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2113
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2114
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2115
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2116
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2117
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2118
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2119
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2120
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2121
2122
BUGFIXES:
2123
2124
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2125
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2126
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2127
2128
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2129
(Aaron Bentley)
2130
2131
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2132
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2133
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2134
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2135
2136
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2137
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2138
#83954).
2139
2140
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2141
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2142
2143
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2144
2145
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2146
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2147
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2148
2149
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2150
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2151
2152
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2154
2155
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2157
2158
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2159
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2160
2161
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2162
2163
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2164
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2165
2166
TESTING:
2167
2168
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2169
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
2173
====================
2174
2175
IMPROVEMENTS:
2176
2177
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2178
2179
BUG FIXES:
2180
2181
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2182
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2183
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2184
2185
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2186
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2187
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2190
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2191
=======================
2192
2193
IMPROVEMENTS:
2194
2195
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2196
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2197
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2198
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2199
2200
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2201
(Marius Kruger)
2202
2203
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2204
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2205
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2206
2207
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2208
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2209
2210
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2211
(Aaron Bentley)
2212
2213
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2214
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2215
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2216
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2217
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2218
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2219
2220
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2221
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2222
should enable you to do::
2223
2224
[/home/user/project]
2225
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2226
push_location:policy = appendpath
2227
2228
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2229
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2230
(James Henstridge)
2231
2232
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2233
for each file. For example::
2234
2235
$ bzr status --short
2236
A foo
2237
A bar
2238
D baz
2239
? wooley
2240
2241
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2242
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2243
2244
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2245
2246
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2247
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2248
2249
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2250
2251
INTERNALS:
2252
2253
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2254
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2255
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2256
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2257
2258
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2259
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2260
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2261
2262
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2263
2264
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2265
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2266
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2267
(Alexander Belchenko)
2268
2269
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2270
Pool)
2271
2272
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2273
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2274
2275
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2276
2277
BUG FIXES:
2278
2279
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2280
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2281
2282
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2283
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2284
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2285
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2286
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2287
2288
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2289
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2290
2291
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2292
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2293
2294
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2295
matcher.
2296
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2297
2298
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2299
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2300
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2301
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2302
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2303
2304
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2305
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2306
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2307
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2308
2309
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2310
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2311
2312
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2313
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2314
2315
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2316
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2317
2318
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2325
No changes from 0.13rc1
2326
2327
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2328
=======================
2329
2330
IMPROVEMENTS:
2331
2332
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2333
tree from a branch.
2334
(Daniel Silverstone)
2335
2336
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2337
operations are substantially faster.
2338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2339
2340
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2341
tree from some other url. For example:
2342
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2343
(Daniel Silverstone)
2344
2345
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2346
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2347
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2348
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2349
2350
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2351
(Andrew Bennetts)
2352
2353
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2354
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2355
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2356
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2357
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2358
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2359
2360
INTERNALS:
2361
2362
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2363
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2364
(Martin Pool)
2365
2366
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2367
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2368
(John Arbash Meinel)
2369
2370
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2371
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2372
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2373
(John Arbash Meinel)
2374
2375
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2376
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2377
2378
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2379
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2380
2381
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2382
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2383
Bennetts)
2384
2385
BUG FIXES:
2386
2387
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2388
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2389
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2390
2391
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2392
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2393
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2394
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2395
2396
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2397
2398
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2399
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2400
2401
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2402
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2403
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2405
2406
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2407
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2408
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2409
2410
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2411
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2412
them as full references rather than integers.
2413
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2414
2415
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2416
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2417
2418
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2419
2420
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2421
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2422
2423
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2424
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2425
2426
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2427
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2428
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2429
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2430
2431
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2432
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2433
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2434
2435
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2436
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2437
2438
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2439
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2440
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2441
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2442
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2443
2444
TESTING:
2445
2446
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2447
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2448
2449
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
2450
====================
2451
2452
INTERNALS:
2453
2454
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2455
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2456
(John Arbash Meinel)
2457
2458
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2459
=======================
2460
2461
IMPROVEMENTS:
2462
2463
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2464
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2465
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2466
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2467
2468
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2469
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2470
2471
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2472
2473
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2474
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2475
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2476
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2477
2478
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2479
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2480
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2481
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2482
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2483
2484
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2485
2486
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2487
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2488
2489
INTERNALS:
2490
2491
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2492
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2493
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2494
2495
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2496
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2497
(John Arbash Meinel)
2498
2499
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2500
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2501
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2502
2503
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2504
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2505
(Aaron Bentley)
2506
2507
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2508
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2509
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2510
2511
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2512
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2513
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2514
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2515
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2516
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2517
2518
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2519
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2520
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2521
(Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2524
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2525
2526
BUG FIXES:
2527
2528
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2529
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2530
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2531
#63360, #66349)
2532
2533
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2534
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2535
2536
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2537
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2538
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2539
2540
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2541
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2542
2543
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2544
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2545
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2546
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2547
2548
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2549
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2550
2551
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2552
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2553
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2554
2555
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2556
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2557
2558
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2559
2560
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2561
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2562
#32054)
2563
2564
TESTING:
2565
2566
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2567
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2568
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2569
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2570
2571
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2572
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2573
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2574
2575
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
2576
====================
2577
2578
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2579
2580
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2581
=======================
2582
2583
BUG FIXES:
2584
2585
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2586
2587
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2588
Arbash Meinel).
2589
2590
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2591
=======================
2592
2593
IMPROVEMENTS:
2594
2595
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2596
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2597
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2598
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2599
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2600
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2601
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2602
2603
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2604
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2605
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2606
2607
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2608
2609
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2610
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2613
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2614
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2615
(Robert Collins)
2616
2617
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2618
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2619
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2620
(John Arbash Meinel)
2621
2622
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2623
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2624
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2625
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2626
Pool)
2627
2628
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2629
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2630
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2631
(John Arbash Meinel)
2632
2633
BUG FIXES:
2634
2635
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2636
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2637
2638
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2639
2640
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2641
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2642
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2643
2644
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2645
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2646
2647
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2648
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2649
2650
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2652
2653
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2654
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2655
2656
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2657
2658
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2659
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2660
2661
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2662
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2663
2664
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2665
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2666
2667
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2668
(John Arbash Meinel)
2669
2670
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2671
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2672
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2673
2674
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2675
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2676
2677
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2678
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2679
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2680
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2681
2682
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2683
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2684
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2685
2686
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2687
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2688
2689
PORTABILITY:
2690
2691
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2692
2693
INTERNALS:
2694
2695
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2696
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2697
(John Arbash Meinel)
2698
2699
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2700
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2701
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2702
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2703
2704
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2705
(Andrew Bennetts)
2706
2707
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2708
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2709
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2710
2711
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2712
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2713
2714
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2715
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2716
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2717
2718
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2719
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2720
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2721
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2722
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2723
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2724
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2725
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2726
caller to repeat their request.
2727
(John Arbash Meinel)
2728
2729
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2730
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2731
2732
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2733
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2734
2735
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2736
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2737
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2738
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2739
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2740
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2741
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2742
2743
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2744
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2745
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2746
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2747
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2748
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2749
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2750
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2751
(Robert Collins)
2752
2753
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2754
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2755
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2756
2757
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2758
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2759
2760
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2761
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2762
2763
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2764
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2765
2766
TESTING:
2767
2768
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2769
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2772
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2773
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2774
2775
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2776
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2777
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2778
2779
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2780
====================
2781
2782
IMPROVEMENTS:
2783
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2784
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2785
2786
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2787
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2788
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2789
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2790
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2791
2792
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2793
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2794
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2795
2796
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2797
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2798
2799
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2800
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2801
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2802
2803
BUG FIXES:
2804
2805
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2806
2807
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2808
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2809
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2810
2811
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2812
2813
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2814
2815
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2816
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2817
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2818
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2819
2820
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2821
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2822
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2823
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2824
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2825
2826
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2827
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2828
2829
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2830
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2831
2832
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2833
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2834
2835
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2836
in handling of revision properties.
2837
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2838
2839
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2840
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2841
2842
INTERNALS:
2843
2844
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2845
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2846
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2847
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2848
(John Arbash Meinel)
2849
2850
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2851
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2852
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2853
2854
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2855
=====================
2856
2857
SURPRISES:
2858
2859
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2860
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2861
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2862
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2863
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2864
a more conservative list than the old default.
2865
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2866
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2867
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2868
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2869
2870
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2871
to more locations than just branch locations.
2872
(Aaron Bentley)
2873
2874
IMPROVEMENTS:
2875
2876
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2877
revno:N:branch. For example,
2878
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2879
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2880
2881
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2882
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2883
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2884
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2885
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2886
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2887
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2888
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2889
#42517, #42514)
2890
2891
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2892
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2893
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2894
(Malone #3507)
2895
2896
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2897
(Alexander Belchenko)
2898
2899
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2900
2901
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2902
(Robert Collins).
2903
2904
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2905
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2906
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2907
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2908
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2909
(John Arbash Meinel)
2910
2911
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2912
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2913
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2914
grained analysis of performance.
2915
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2916
2917
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2918
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2919
2920
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2921
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2922
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2923
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2924
file. (Robert Collins).
2925
2926
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2927
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2928
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2929
2930
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2931
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2932
Matthieu Moy)
2933
2934
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2935
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2936
2937
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2938
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2939
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2940
the same way you would apply another branch.
2941
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2942
2943
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2944
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2945
2946
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2947
(Michael Ellerman)
2948
2949
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2950
(Aaron Bentley)
2951
2952
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2953
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2954
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2955
2956
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2957
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2958
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2959
2960
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2961
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2962
2963
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2964
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2965
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2966
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2967
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2968
2969
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2970
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2971
2972
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2973
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2974
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2975
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2976
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2977
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2978
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2979
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2980
2981
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2982
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2983
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2984
2985
BUG FIXES:
2986
2987
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2988
tests not to run.
2989
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2990
2991
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2992
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2993
2994
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2995
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2996
2997
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2998
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2999
3000
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3001
3002
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3003
(John Arbash Meinel)
3004
3005
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3006
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3007
3008
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3009
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3010
and y.
3011
3012
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3013
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3014
3015
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3016
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3017
3018
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3019
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3020
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3021
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3022
3023
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3024
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3025
3026
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3027
3028
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3029
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3030
3031
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3032
3033
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3034
3035
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3036
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3037
3038
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3039
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3040
3041
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3042
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3043
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3044
3045
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3046
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3047
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3048
3049
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3050
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3051
3052
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3053
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3054
3055
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3056
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3057
3058
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3059
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3060
3061
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3062
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3063
3064
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3065
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3066
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3067
3068
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3069
3070
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3071
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3072
3073
INTERNALS:
3074
3075
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3076
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3077
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3078
3079
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3080
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3081
3082
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3083
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3084
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3085
3086
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3087
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3088
3089
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3090
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3091
(Martin Pool)
3092
3093
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3094
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3095
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3096
3097
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3098
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3099
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3100
3101
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3102
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3103
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3104
3105
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3106
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3107
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3108
3109
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3110
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3111
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3112
3113
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3114
instead. (Robert Collins)
3115
3116
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3128
BUG FIXES:
3129
3130
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3131
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3132
3133
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3134
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3135
3136
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3137
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3138
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3139
3140
CHANGES:
3141
3142
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3143
3144
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3145
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3146
3147
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3148
3149
CHANGES:
3150
3151
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3152
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3153
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3154
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3155
3156
NEW FEATURES:
3157
3158
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3159
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

3163
3164
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3165
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3166
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3167

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3174
===================
3175
3176
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3177
3178
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3179
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3180
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3181
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3182
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3183
will keep the same format.
3184
3185
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3186
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3187
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3188
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3189
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3190
3191
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3192
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3193
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3194
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3195
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3196
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3197
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3198
3199
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3200
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3201
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3202
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3203
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3204
3205
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3206
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3207
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3208
arrangement.
3209
3210
3211
IMPROVEMENTS:
3212
3213
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3214
convention. Paths now take the form::
3215
3216
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3217
or
3218
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3219
3220
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3221
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3222
3223
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3224
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3225
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3226
3227
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3228
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3229
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3230
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3231
3232
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3233
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3234
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3235
3236
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3237
3238
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3239
3240
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3241
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3242
commits::
3243
3244
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3245
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3246
| xargs bzr re-sign
3247
3248
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3249
3250
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3251
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3252
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3253
(Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3256
3257
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3258
3259
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3260
'.moved'.
3261
3262
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3263
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3264
3265
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3266
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3267
Daniel Silverstone)
3268
3269
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3270
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3271
Martin Pool)
3272
3273
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3274
3275
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3276
3277
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3278
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3279
3280
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3281
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3282
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3283
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3284
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3285
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3286
3287
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3288
3289
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3290
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3291
(Robert Collins)
3292
3293
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3294
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3295
3296
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3297
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3298
3299
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3300
3301
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3302
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3303
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3304
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3305
specification by Martin Pool.
3306
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3307
3308
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3309
Belchenko)
3310
3311
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3312
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3313
3314
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3315
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3316
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3317
3318
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3319
3320
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3321
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3322
(Robert Collins)
3323
3324
CHANGES:
3325
3326
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3327
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3328
3329
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3330
3331
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3332
3333
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3334
(Olaf Conradi)
3335
3336
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3337
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3338
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3339
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3340
3341
INTERNALS:
3342
3343
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3344
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3345
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3346
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3347
3348
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3349
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3350
tried. (Martin Pool)
3351
3352
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3353
(Martin Pool)
3354
3355
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3356
3357
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3358
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3359
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3360
3361
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3362
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3363
3364
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3365
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3366
paths. (Robert Collins)
3367
3368
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3369
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3370
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3371
3372
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3373
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3374
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3375
3376
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3377
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3378
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3379
3380
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3381
(Olaf Conradi)
3382
3383
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3384
(Olaf Conradi)
3385
3386
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3387
3388
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3389
3390
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3391
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3392
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3393
(Robert Collins)
3394
3395
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3396
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3397
3398
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3399
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3400
check. (Robert Collins)
3401
3402
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3403
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3404
3405
TESTING:
3406
3407
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3408
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3409
3410
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3411
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3412
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3413
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3414
3415
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3416
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3417
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3418
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3419
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3420
3421
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3422
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3423
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3424
3425
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3426
3427
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3428
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3429

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3431
==================
3432
3433
CHANGES:
3434
3435
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3436
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3437
3438
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3439
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3440
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3441
(Johan Rydberg)
3442
3443
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3444
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3445
3446
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3447
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3448
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3449
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3450
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3451
3452
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3453
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3454
used. (Robert Collins)
3455
3456
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3457
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3458
(James Henstridge)
3459
3460
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3461
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3462
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3463
3464
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3465
ignore list.
3466
3467
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3468
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3469
3470
IMPROVEMENTS:
3471
3472
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3473
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3474
3475
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3476
3477
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3478
3479
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3480
tree. (Robert Collins)
3481
3482
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3483
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3484
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3485
(Robert Collins)
3486
3487
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3488
that they be kept.
3489
3490
* Tweaks to short log printing
3491
3492
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3493
(Aaron Bentley)
3494
3495
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3496
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3497
3498
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3499
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3500
3501
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3502
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3503
3504
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3505
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3506
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3507
3508
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3509
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3510
3511
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3512
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3513
requests.
3514
3515
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3516
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3517
3518
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3519
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3520
3521
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3522
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3523
3524
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3525
(Denys Duchier)
3526
3527
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3528
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3529
3530
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3531
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3532
3533
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3534
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3535
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3536
3537
BUG FIXES:
3538
3539
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3540
3541
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3542
3543
* Error when run with -OO
3544
3545
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3546
(Martin Pool)
3547
3548
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3549
3550
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3551
3552
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3553
ignored by diff and status
3554
3555
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3556
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3557
3558
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3559
3560
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3561
3562
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3563
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3564
3565
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3566
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3567
3568
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3569
(Harald Meland)
3570
3571
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3572
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3573
3574
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3575
3576
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3577
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3578
3579
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3580
(Martin Pool)
3581
3582
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3583
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3584
3585
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3586
3587
TESTING:
3588
3589
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3590
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3591
3592
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3593
3594
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3595
3596
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3597
3598
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3599
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3600
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3601
3602
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3603
3604
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3605
(John Arbash Meinel)
3606
3607
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3608
3609
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3610
If adding a new test script please add that to
3611
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3612
3613
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3614
imported. (Martin Pool)
3615
3616
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3617
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3618
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3619
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3620
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3621
(Robert Collins)
3622
3623
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3624
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3625
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3626
3627
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3628
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3629
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3630
3631
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3632
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3633
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3634
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3635
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3636
(Robert Collins).
3637
3638
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3639
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3640
(Robert Collins).
3641
3642
INTERNALS:
3643
3644
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3645
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3646
3647
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3648
function. (Robert Collins)
3649
3650
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3651
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3652
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3653
3654
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3655
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3656
(Robert Collins)
3657
3658
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3659
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3660
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3661
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3662
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3663
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3664
version. (Robert Collins)
3665
3666
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3667
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3668
3669
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3670
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3671
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3672
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3673
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3674
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3675
3676
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3677
(Robert Collins)
3678
3679
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3680
3681
add()
3682
commit()
3683
move()
3684
rename_one()
3685
unknowns()
3686
3687
(Robert Collins)
3688
3689
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3690
3691
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3692
3693
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3694
Pool)
3695
3696
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3697
query method. (Robert Collins)
3698
3699
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3700
(Denys Duchier)
3701
3702
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3703
(Michael Ellerman)
3704
3705
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3706
(Michael Ellerman)
3707
3708
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3709
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3710
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3711
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3712
3713
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3714
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3715
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3716
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3717
3718
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3719
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

==================
3723
3724
IMPROVEMENTS:
3725
3726
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3727
(John A Meinel)
3728
3729
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3730
conflicts.
3731
(Aaron Bentley)
3732
3733
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3734
a separator, not ':'.
3735
(Aaron Bentley)
3736
3737
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3738
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3739
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3740
3741
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3742
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3743
(Robert Collins)
3744
3745
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3746
has been added that suppresses all output.
3747
3748
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3749
Adams.
3750
3751
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3752
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3753
3754
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3755
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3756
3757
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3758
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3759
3760
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3761
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3762
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3763
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3764
3765
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3766
3767
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3768
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3769
3770
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3771
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3772
3773
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3774
output directory, if one was supplied.
3775
3776
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3777
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3778
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3779
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3780
3781
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3782
3783
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3784
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3785
3786
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3787
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3788
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3789
3790
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3791
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3792
3793
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3794
(Aaron Bentley)
3795
3796
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3797
3798
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3799
3800
TESTING:
3801
3802
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3803
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3804
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3805
3806
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3807
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3808
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3809
3810
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3811
is given. (Martin Pool)
3812
3813
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3814
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3815
file. (Robert Collins)
3816
3817
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3818
(Martin Pool)
3819
3820
INTERNALS:
3821
3822
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3823
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3824
representation. (Martin Pool).
3825
3826
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3827
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3828
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3829
3830
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3831
(Robert Collins)
3832
3833
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3834
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3835
Magnus Therning.
3836
3837
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3838
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3839
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3840
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3841
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3842
3843
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3844
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3845
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3846
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3847
python path. (Robert Collins)
3848
3849
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3850
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3851
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3852
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3853
3854
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3855
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3856
3857
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3858
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3859
(Robert Collins)
3860
3861
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3862
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3863
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3864
3865
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3866
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3867
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3868
3869
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3870
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3871
3872
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3873
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3874
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3875
(Robert Collins)
3876
3877
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3878
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3879
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3880
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3881
(Robert Collins)
3882
3883
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3884
(Robert Collins)
3885
3886
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3887
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3888
(Robert Collins)
3889
3890
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3891
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3892
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3893
3894
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3895
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3896
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3897
3898
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3899
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3900
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3901
3902
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3903
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3904
3905
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3906
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3907
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3908
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3909
caller. (Robert Collins)
3910
3911
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3912
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3913
(Robert Collins).
3914
3915
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3916
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3917
(Aaron Bentley)
3918
3919
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3920
3921
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3922
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3923
3924
BUG FIXES:
3925
3926
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3927
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3928
3929
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3930
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3931

3933
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3934
====================
3935
3936
BUG FIXES:
3937
3938
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3939
allow directories to be listed.
3940
3941
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3942
upgrading branch format.
3943
3944
PERFORMANCE:
3945
3946
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3947
3948
3949
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3950
==================
3951
3952
NOTES:
3953
3954
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3955
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3956
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3957
high-latency connections.
3958
3959
BUG FIXES:
3960
3961
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3962
Rob Weir.
3963
3964
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3965
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3966
3967
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3968
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3969
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3970
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3971
3972
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3973
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3974
3975
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3976
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3977
3978
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3979
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3980
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3981
3982
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3983
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3984
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3985
Robert Collins
3986
3987
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3988
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3989
3990
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3991
different partial views of history.
3992
3993
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3994
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3995
3996
IMPROVEMENTS:
3997
3998
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3999
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4000
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4001
4002
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4003
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4004
'bzr upgrade'.
4005
4006
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4007
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4008
4009
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4010
Niemeyer.
4011
4012
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4013
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4014
4015
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4016
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4017
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4018
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4019
4020
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4021
4022
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4023
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4024
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4025
4026
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4027
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4028
4029
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4030
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4031
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4032
4033
4034
INTERNALS:
4035
4036
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4037
for your viewing pleasure.
4038
4039
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4040
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4041
4042
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4043
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4044
handling of such circumstances.
4045
4046
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4047
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4048
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4049
4050
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4051
4052
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4053
we call them revisions not patches.
4054
4055
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4056
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4057
4058
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4059
giving the revision *of that file*.
4060
4061
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4062
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4063
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4064
4065
TESTING:
4066
4067
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4068
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4069
4070
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4071
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4072

4074
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4075
====================
4076
4077
BUG FIXES:
4078
4079
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4080
4081
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4082
(Robert Collins).
4083
4084
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4085
4086
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4087
4088
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4089
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4090
4091
IMPROVEMENTS:
4092
4093
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4094
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4095
4096
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4097
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4098
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4099
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4100
Robey Pointer
4101
4102
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4103
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4104
4105
INTERNALS:
4106
4107
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4108
4109
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4110
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4111
4112
4113
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4114
====================
4115
4116
IMPROVEMENTS:
4117
4118
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4119
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4120
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4121
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4122
Michael Ellerman.
4123
4124
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4125
(Nir Soffer)
4126
4127
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4128
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4129
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4130
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4131
for the operating system is still tried.
4132
4133
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4134
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4135
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4136
4137
4138
INTERNALS:
4139
4140
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4141
4142
BUG FIXES:
4143
4144
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4145
4146
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4147
branch.
4148
4149
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4150
read.
4151
4152
4153
PORTABILITY:
4154
4155
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4156
4157
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4161
====================
4162
4163
NEW FEATURES:
4164
4165
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4166
help with intelligent shell completion.
4167
4168
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4169
4170
4171
ENHANCEMENTS:
4172
4173
* Much better merge support.
4174
4175
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4176
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4177
like emacs smerge.
4178
4179
4180
BUG FIXES:
4181
4182
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4183
mention revisions that are not present.
4184
4185
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4186
4187
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4188
4189
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4190
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4191
4192
4193
CHANGES:
4194
4195
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4196
4197
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4198
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4199
--help themselves.
4200
4201
4202
LIBRARY:
4203
4204
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4205
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4206
libraries.
4207
4208
4209
4210
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4211
====================
4212
4213
NEW FEATURES:
4214
4215
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4216
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4217
4218
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4219
4220
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4221
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4222
4223
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4224
FOO.
4225
4226
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4227
4228
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4229
the Unix command.
4230
4231
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4232
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4233
4234
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4235
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4236
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4237
4238
4239
ENHANCEMENTS:
4240
4241
* Faster working tree operations.
4242
4243
4244
CHANGES:
4245
4246
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4247
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4248
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4249
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4250
4251
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4252
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4253
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4254
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4255
standard plugins directory.
4256
4257
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4258
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4259
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4260
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4261
4262
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4263
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4264
4265
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4266
disk.
4267
4268
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4269
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4270
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4271
4272
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4273
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4274
4275
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4276
line options must come before the command name because they
4277
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4278
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4279
it.
4280
4281
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4282
4283
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4284
is available with ``--short``.
4285
4286
4287
BUG FIXES:
4288
4289
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4290
4291
4292
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4293
=====================
4294
4295
CHANGES:
4296
4297
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4298
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4299
4300
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4301
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4302
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4303
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4304
4305
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4306
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4307
with the ``--forward`` option.
4308
4309
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4310
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4311
field.
4312
4313
4314
ENHANCEMENTS:
4315
4316
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4317
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4318
4319
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4320
4321
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4322
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4323
4324
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4325
4326
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4327
either read or write mode.
4328
4329
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4330
4331
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4332
affected that file.
4333
4334
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4335
4336
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4337
suggested by LarstiQ.
4338
4339
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4340
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4341
4342
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4343
a filename.
4344
4345
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4346
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4347
4348
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4349
haven't changed since the previous time.
4350
4351
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4352
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4353
4354
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4355
4356
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4357
4358
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4359
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4360
4361
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4362
options through to an external GNU diff.
4363
4364
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4365
their contents.
4366
4367
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4368
from a branch.
4369
4370
4371
BUG FIXES:
4372
4373
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4374
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4375
4376
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4377
metacharacters.
4378
4379
4380
TESTING:
4381
4382
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4383
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4384
the tests.
4385
4386
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4387
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4388
4389
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4390
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4391
4392
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4393
under a different version.
4394
4395
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4396
4397
4398
INTERNAL:
4399
4400
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4401
4402
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4403
Scott James Remnant.
4404
4405
* Better help messages for many commands.
4406
4407
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4408
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4409
4410
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4411
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4412
4413
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4414
4415
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4416
4417
* New AtomicFile class.
4418
4419
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4420
4421
4422
PORTABILITY:
4423
4424
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4425
2.4 is now only recommended.
4426
4427
4428
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4429
=====================
4430
4431
ENHANCEMENTS:
4432
4433
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4434
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4435
4436
* More default ignore patterns.
4437
4438
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4439
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4440
4441
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4442
4443
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4444
by Jason Diamon.
4445
4446
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4447
4448
4449
CHANGES:
4450
4451
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4452
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4453
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4454
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4455
there are DNS problems.
4456
4457
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4458
4459
4460
BUG FIXES:
4461
4462
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4463
4464
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4465
4466
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4467
trailing newlines properly.
4468
4469
4470
INTERNAL:
4471
4472
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4473
Matt Brubeck.
4474
4475
* More tests in test.sh.
4476
4477
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4478
directory and delete it when done.
4479
4480
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4481
4482
4483
PORTABILITY:
4484
4485
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4486
Bennetts.
4487
4488
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4489
from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4493

ENHANCEMENTS:
4496
4497
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4498
in the tree.
4499
4500
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4501
4502
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4503
and/or directory.
4504
4505
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4506
directory.
4507
4508
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4509
4510
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4511
4512
CHANGES:
4513
4514
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4515
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4516
will do for now.)
4517
4518
PORTABILITY:
4519
4520
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4521
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4522
Nielsen.
4523
4524
INTERNAL:
4525
4526
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4527
4528
TESTING:
4529

4542
===================================
4543
4544
ENHANCEMENTS:
4545
4546
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4547
4548
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4549
rather than replacing it.
4550
4551
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4552
4553
* More help topics.
4554
4555
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4556
branch.
4557
4558
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4559
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4560
4561
* Performance improvements.
4562
4563
* New global --profile option.
4564
4565
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4566
the root directory only.
4567
4568
4569
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4570

4571
4572
ENHANCEMENTS:
4573
4574
* More information from info command.
4575
4576
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4577
4578
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4579
committing to stores.
4580
4581
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4582
4583
BUG FIXES:
4584
4585
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4586
4587
PORTABILITY:
4588
4589
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4590
installation easier.
4591
4592
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4593
supported).
4594
4595
4596
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
4597
========================
4598
4599
ENHANCEMENTS:
4600
4601
* First public release.
