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)
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
25
* New rich-root format, recording the same data about tree roots that's
26
recorded for all other directories. (Aaron Bentley)
28
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
29
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
30
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
31
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
35
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
36
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
37
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
38
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
40
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
41
(Robert Collins, #88319)
43
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
44
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
48
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
49
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
50
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
51
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
57
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
58
(Robert Collins, #157789)
60
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
61
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
63
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
64
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
66
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
67
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
69
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
72
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
73
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
74
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
76
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
79
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
80
(Robert Collins, #161240)
82
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
83
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
85
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
86
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
88
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
89
(Robert Collins, #153789)
91
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
93
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
94
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
96
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
99
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
100
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
102
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
103
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
104
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
105
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
107
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
108
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
110
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
111
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
112
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
114
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
117
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
118
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
120
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
121
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
123
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
124
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
126
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
127
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
131
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
132
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
134
* The return value of
135
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
136
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
137
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
138
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
142
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
143
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
144
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
147
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
148
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
153
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
154
======================
156
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
160
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
161
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
163
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
164
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
165
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
166
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
167
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
168
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
169
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
170
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
171
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
172
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
173
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
174
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
179
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
180
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
181
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
182
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
183
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
184
for further details. (Robert Collins)
186
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
187
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
188
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
191
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
193
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
194
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
196
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
197
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
200
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
201
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
202
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
206
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
207
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
209
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
210
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
212
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
213
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
214
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
215
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
217
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
220
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
221
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
222
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
223
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
225
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
226
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
228
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
229
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
231
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
232
the contents. (Robert Collins)
234
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
235
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
239
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
240
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
242
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
243
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
245
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
246
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
248
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
249
(Martin Pool, #63894)
251
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
252
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
256
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
258
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
263
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
264
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
265
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
267
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
268
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
270
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
271
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
273
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
274
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
275
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
276
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
278
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
279
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
280
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
281
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
282
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
284
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
285
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
289
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
291
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
292
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
294
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
297
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
300
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
301
contains a symbolic link.
302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
304
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
305
(James Westby, #140615)
307
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
308
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
311
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
312
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
313
(Martin Pool, #144633)
315
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
317
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
320
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
324
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
325
directory to detect leaking tests.
326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
328
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
329
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
330
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
332
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
335
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
336
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
338
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
343
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
344
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
346
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
347
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
348
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
350
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
351
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
352
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
354
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
355
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
357
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
358
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
360
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
361
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
364
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
365
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
367
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
371
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
372
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
374
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
375
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
376
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
378
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
379
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
380
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
383
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
384
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
385
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
386
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
391
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
392
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
393
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
395
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
396
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
397
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
398
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
400
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
401
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
404
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
405
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
406
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
408
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
409
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
410
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
412
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
413
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
415
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
416
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
417
to complete. (Robert Collins)
419
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
420
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
422
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
423
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
424
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
426
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
427
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
428
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
430
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
431
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
432
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
433
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
435
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
436
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
437
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
438
returned. (Robert Collins)
440
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
441
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
443
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
444
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
445
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
446
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
449
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
450
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
454
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
455
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
457
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
458
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
459
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
460
makes this behavior available to other users.
463
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
464
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
472
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
473
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
474
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
476
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
478
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
479
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
480
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
481
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
483
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
484
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
488
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
489
======================
491
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
495
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
496
======================
500
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
501
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
502
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
503
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
506
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
507
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
508
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
513
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
514
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
515
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
518
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
519
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
520
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
522
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
523
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
524
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
526
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
527
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
529
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
530
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
531
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
532
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
533
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
534
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
535
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
536
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
537
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
538
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
540
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
541
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
543
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
544
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
545
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
549
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
550
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
552
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
553
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
554
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
556
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
557
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
559
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
560
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
562
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
565
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
566
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
568
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
569
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
571
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
572
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
574
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
575
(Blake Winton, #129299)
577
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
579
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
582
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
583
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
584
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
585
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
587
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
589
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
590
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
593
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
594
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
596
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
597
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
600
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
601
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
603
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
604
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
606
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
607
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
608
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
609
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
610
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
611
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
612
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
614
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
615
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
617
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
618
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
620
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
621
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
623
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
626
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
628
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
630
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
631
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
633
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
634
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
635
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
637
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
638
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
639
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
643
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
644
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
646
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
649
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
652
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
653
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
655
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
657
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
658
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
660
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
661
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
663
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
664
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
665
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
666
space). (Robert Collins)
668
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
669
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
672
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
673
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
675
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
676
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
678
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
679
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
680
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
681
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
683
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
684
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
685
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
688
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
691
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
692
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
693
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
695
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
696
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
697
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
698
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
699
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
703
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
704
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
706
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
707
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
708
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
709
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
710
affected. (Robert Collins)
712
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
713
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
714
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
717
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
718
previous release. (Martin Pool)
722
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
723
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
725
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
726
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
728
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
729
previous release. (Martin Pool)
731
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
734
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
735
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
739
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
740
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
741
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
742
its version information. (Robert Collins)
744
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
745
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
747
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
748
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
749
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
750
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
752
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
753
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
754
present. (Robert Collins)
756
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
757
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
758
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
759
API. (Robert Collins)
761
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
762
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
765
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
766
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
768
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
769
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
770
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
771
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
772
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
773
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
775
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
776
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
777
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
779
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
780
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
781
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
782
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
785
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
788
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
789
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
790
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
791
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
792
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
793
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
794
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
796
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
797
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
798
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
799
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
801
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
802
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
803
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
804
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
805
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
806
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
808
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
809
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
810
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
812
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
813
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
821
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
822
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
823
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
824
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
825
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
826
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
827
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
828
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
833
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
834
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
835
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
838
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
839
======================
843
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
844
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
845
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
846
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
847
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
849
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
852
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
856
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
857
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
860
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
861
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
864
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
867
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
868
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
870
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
871
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
873
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
874
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
876
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
877
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
879
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
880
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
882
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
887
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
888
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
890
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
891
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
893
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
894
the repository (Robert Collins)
896
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
897
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
898
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
899
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
900
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
902
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
903
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
905
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
906
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
909
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
910
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
911
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
913
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
914
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
915
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
918
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
919
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
922
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
923
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
925
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
928
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
930
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
932
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
933
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
935
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
936
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
939
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
940
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
941
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
942
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
944
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
945
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
946
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
948
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
949
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
950
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
952
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
953
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
955
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
956
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
957
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
958
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
959
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
960
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
963
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
964
(Alexander Belchenko)
966
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
967
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
969
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
970
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
972
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
974
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
975
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
979
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
980
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
981
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
982
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
984
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
986
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
989
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
990
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
991
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
992
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
993
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
994
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
998
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
999
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1000
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1001
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1003
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1004
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1005
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1006
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1007
tests have been refactored too.
1010
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1011
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1012
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1016
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1017
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1018
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1020
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1021
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1022
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1023
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1024
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1025
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1026
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1028
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1029
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1030
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1031
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1032
(John Arbash Meinel)
1034
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1035
functionality for testing.
1037
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1039
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1040
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1042
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1044
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1047
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1048
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1050
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1051
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1052
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1054
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1057
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1058
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1060
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1061
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1062
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1063
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1065
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1066
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1068
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1069
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1070
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1072
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1075
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1076
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1077
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1078
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1079
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1080
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1082
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1083
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1084
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1085
many files. (Robert Collins)
1087
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1088
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1089
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1090
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1094
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1095
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1096
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1098
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1099
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1101
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1102
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1103
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1107
====================
1111
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1114
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1115
=======================
1119
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1120
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1122
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1123
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1124
(James Westby, #122656)
1126
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1127
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1129
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1130
authentication header.
1131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1133
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1135
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1136
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1138
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1140
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1143
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1144
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1147
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1148
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1149
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1151
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1152
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1154
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1155
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1157
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1158
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1160
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1162
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1166
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1167
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1168
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1169
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1170
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.

See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1173
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1174
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1175
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1177
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1180
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1181
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1183
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1184
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1186
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1187
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1189
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1190
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1191
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1192
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1193
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1195
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1196
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1198
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1199
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1200
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1202
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1203
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1205
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1207
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1208
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1210
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1211
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1214
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1217
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1218
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1220
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1221
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1223
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1224
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1226
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1228
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1229
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1231
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1236
* Testing cleanups -
1237
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1238
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1239
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1240
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1241
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1242
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1243
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1244
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1245
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1246
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1247
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1248
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1249
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1250
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1251
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1252
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1253
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1256
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1258
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1259
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1260
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1262
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1263
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1265
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1266
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1268
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1270
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1271
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1272
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1273
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1274
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1275
same location. (Robert Collins)
1279
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1281
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1283
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1285
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1288
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1291
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1292
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1293
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1295
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1297
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1298
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1299
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1301
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1302
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1304
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1305
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1306
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1308
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1309
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1310
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1312
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1313
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1314
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1316
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1317
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1320
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1321
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1323
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1324
(Alexander Belchenko)
1328
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1329
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1330
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1331
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1333
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1334
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1335
testing. (Robert Collins)
1337
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1338
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1340
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1341
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1342
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1343
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1344
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1345
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1346
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1348
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1349
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1350
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1351
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1353
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1354
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1356
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1357
avoid useless cloning.
1358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1362
====================
1366
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1367
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1369
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1370
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
1373
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1374
=======================
1376
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1378
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1379
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1380
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1381
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1382
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1383
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1384
and unlock() like so::
1386
work_tree.lock_read()
1388
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1393
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1394
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1396
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1397
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1398
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1400
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1401
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1402
too. (Robert Collins)
1406
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1407
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1410
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1411
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1413
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1414
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1416
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1417
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1418
understanding what changes have occurred
1419
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1421
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1422
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1423
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1425
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1426
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1427
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1428
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1430
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1435
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1436
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1437
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1438
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1439
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1441
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1442
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1443
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1445
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1446
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1448
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1450
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1452
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1453
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1455
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1456
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1458
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1459
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1461
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1462
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1464
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1465
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1467
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1468
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1469
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1472
====================
1476
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1477
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1478
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1479
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1480
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1482
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1483
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1484
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1486
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1487
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1491
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1492
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1493
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1495
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1496
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1497
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1498
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1500
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1501
=======================
1505
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1506
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1507
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1508
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1510
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1511
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1514
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1515
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1517
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1518
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1520
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1521
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1523
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1524
=======================
1526
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1528
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1529
it could be recovered again.
1530
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1531
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1532
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1534
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1536
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1537
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1541
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1542
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1544
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1545
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1546
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1547
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1549
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1550
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1552
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1553
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1554
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1556
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1557
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1558
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1560
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1561
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1562
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1564
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1565
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1568
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1571
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1572
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1573
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1574
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1576
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1579
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1580
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1581
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1584
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1585
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1587
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1588
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1590
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1591
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1592
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1593
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1596
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1597
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1599
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1600
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1602
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1603
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1604
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1606
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1607
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1608
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1610
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1611
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1612
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1614
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1615
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1616
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1617
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1619
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1620
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1621
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1622
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1624
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1625
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1626
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1627
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1628
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1629
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1630
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1631
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1637
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1638
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1640
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1641
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1642
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1643
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1644
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1646
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1647
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1649
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1650
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1652
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1653
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1655
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1656
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1658
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1659
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1660
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1663
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1664
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1665
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1666
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1667
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1670
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1671
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1672
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1674
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1675
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1678
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1679
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1680
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1683
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1684
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1685
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1686
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1687
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1689
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1690
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1691
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1692
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1694
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1695
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1697
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1698
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1699
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1700
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1701
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1702
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1704
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1705
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1707
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1708
help. (Robert Collins)
1710
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1711
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1713
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1714
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1715
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1716
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1717
(John Arbash Meinel)
1719
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1720
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1721
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1722
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1723
useful. (Robert Collins)
1725
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1730
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1731
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1733
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1734
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1736
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1737
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1738
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1740
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1743
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1744
the file, and does it faster.
1745
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1747
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1748
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1749
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1751
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1752
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1753
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1754
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1756
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1757
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1758
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1759
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1761
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1762
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1764
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1765
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1766
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1767
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1770
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1772
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1773
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1775
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1776
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1778
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1779
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1780
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1781
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1785
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1790
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1791
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1792
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1794
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1795
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1797
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1798
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1799
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1800
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1801
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1802
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1803
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1804
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1806
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1807
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1808
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1810
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1811
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1812
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1813
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1814
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1816
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1818
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1819
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1820
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1822
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1823
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1831
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1834
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1835
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1838
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1839
=======================
1843
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1844
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1849
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1850
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1851
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1852
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1853
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1854
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1855
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1856
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1861
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1862
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1863
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1865
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1866
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1869
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1870
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1871
(John Arbash Meinel)
1873
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1874
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1875
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1876
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1877
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1881
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1884
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1885
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1887
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1888
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1890
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1891
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1892
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1894
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1895
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1897
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1898
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1899
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1900
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1901
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1903
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1904
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1905
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1907
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1910
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1911
=======================
1913
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1915
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1916
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1917
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1921
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1922
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1924
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1925
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1927
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1929
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1930
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1932
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1933
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1937
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1942
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1943
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1944
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1945
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1947
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1948
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1950
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1951
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1953
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1956
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1957
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1960
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1961
=======================
1965
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1966
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1967
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1968
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1969
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1970
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1972
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1973
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1974
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1975
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1976
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1977
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1979
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1981
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1982
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1983
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1984
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1985
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1986
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1987
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1988
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1992
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1993
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1995
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1996
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1997
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1998
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2000
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2001
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2002
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2003
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2004
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2006
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2009
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2012
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2015
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2016
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2019
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2022
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2023
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2025
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2026
directory. (Martin Pool)
2028
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2029
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2030
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2031
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2033
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2034
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2035
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2036
in docs/configuration.txt.
2038
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2039
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2042
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2043
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2044
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2045
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2046
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2047
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2049
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2050
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2052
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2053
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2055
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2060
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2061
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2062
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2063
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2064
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2065
(John Arbash Meinel)
2067
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2068
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2071
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2072
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2073
(John Arbash Meinel)
2075
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2076
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2077
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2078
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2079
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2080
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2082
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2083
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2084
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2086
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2087
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2088
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2089
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2091
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2093
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2094
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2095
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2096
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2098
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2099
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2100
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2101
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2103
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2104
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2105
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2107
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2108
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2109
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2111
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2112
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2113
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2114
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2116
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2117
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2118
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2120
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2121
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2122
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2124
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2125
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2126
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2127
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2128
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2129
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2130
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2131
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2132
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2133
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2134
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2138
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2139
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2140
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2142
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2145
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2146
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2147
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2148
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2150
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2151
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2154
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2155
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2157
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2159
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2160
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2161
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2163
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2164
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2166
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2169
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2172
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2173
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2175
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2177
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2178
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2182
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2183
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2187
====================
2191
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2195
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2196
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2197
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2199
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2200
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2201
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2204
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2205
=======================
2209
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2210
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2211
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2212
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2214
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2217
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2218
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2219
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2221
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2222
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2224
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2227
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2228
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2229
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2230
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2231
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2232
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2234
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2235
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2236
should enable you to do::
2238
[/home/user/project]
2239
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2240
push_location:policy = appendpath
2242
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2243
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2246
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2247
for each file. For example::
2249
$ bzr status --short
2255
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2256
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2258
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2260
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2261
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2263
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2267
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2268
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2269
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2270
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2272
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2273
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2274
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2276
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2278
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2279
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2280
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2281
(Alexander Belchenko)
2283
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2286
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2287
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2289
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2293
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2294
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2296
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2297
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2298
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2299
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2300
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2302
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2303
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2305
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2306
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2308
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2310
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2312
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2313
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2314
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2315
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2316
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2318
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2319
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2320
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2321
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2323
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2324
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2326
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2327
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2329
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2330
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2332
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2333
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

====================
2339
No changes from 0.13rc1
2341
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2342
=======================
2346
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2348
(Daniel Silverstone)
2350
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2351
operations are substantially faster.
2352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2354
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2355
tree from some other url. For example:
2356
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2357
(Daniel Silverstone)
2359
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2360
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2361
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2362
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2364
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2367
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2368
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2369
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2370
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2371
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2372
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2376
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2377
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2380
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2381
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2382
(John Arbash Meinel)
2384
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2385
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2386
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2387
(John Arbash Meinel)
2389
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2390
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2392
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2393
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2395
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2396
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2401
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2402
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2403
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2405
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2406
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2407
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2408
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2410
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2412
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2413
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2415
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2416
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2417
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2418
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2420
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2421
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2422
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2424
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2425
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2426
them as full references rather than integers.
2427
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2429
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2430
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2432
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2434
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2435
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2437
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2438
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2440
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2441
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2442
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2443
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2445
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2446
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2447
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2449
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2450
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2452
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2453
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2454
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2455
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2456
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2460
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2461
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2464
====================
2468
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2469
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2470
(John Arbash Meinel)
2472
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2473
=======================
2477
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2478
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2479
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2480
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2482
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2483
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2485
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2487
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2488
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2489
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2490
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2492
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2493
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2494
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2495
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2496
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2498
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2500
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2501
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2505
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2506
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2507
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2509
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2510
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2511
(John Arbash Meinel)
2513
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2514
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2515
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2517
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2518
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2521
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2522
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2523
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2525
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2526
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2527
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2528
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2529
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2530
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2532
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2533
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2534
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2537
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2538
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2542
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2543
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2544
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2547
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2548
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2550
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2551
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2552
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2554
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2555
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2557
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2558
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2559
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2560
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2562
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2563
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2565
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2566
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2567
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2569
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2570
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2572
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2574
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2575
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2580
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2581
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2582
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2583
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2585
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2586
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2587
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2590
====================
2592
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2594
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2595
=======================
2599
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2601
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2604
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2605
=======================
2609
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2610
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2611
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2612
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2613
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2614
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2615
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2617
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2618
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2619
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2621
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2623
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2624
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2626
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2627
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2628
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2631
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2632
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2633
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2634
(John Arbash Meinel)
2636
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2637
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2638
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2639
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2642
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2643
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2644
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2645
(John Arbash Meinel)
2649
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2650
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2652
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2654
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2655
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2656
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2658
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2659
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2661
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2662
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2664
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2667
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2668
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2670
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2672
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2673
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2675
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2676
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2678
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2679
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2681
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2682
(John Arbash Meinel)
2684
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2685
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2686
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2688
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2689
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2691
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2692
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2693
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2694
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2696
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2697
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2698
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2700
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2701
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2705
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2709
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2710
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2711
(John Arbash Meinel)
2713
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2714
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2715
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2716
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2718
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2721
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2722
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2723
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2725
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2726
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2728
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2729
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2730
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2732
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2733
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2734
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2735
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2736
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2737
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2738
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2739
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2740
caller to repeat their request.
2741
(John Arbash Meinel)
2743
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2744
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2746
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2747
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2749
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2750
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2751
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2752
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2753
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2754
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2755
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2757
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2758
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2759
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2760
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2761
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2762
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2763
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2764
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2767
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2768
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2769
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2771
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2772
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2774
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2775
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2777
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2778
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2782
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2783
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2785
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2786
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2787
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2789
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2790
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2791
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2794
====================
2797
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2798
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2800
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2801
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2802
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2803
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2804
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2806
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2807
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2808
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2810
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2811
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2813
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2814
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2815
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2819
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2821
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2822
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2823
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2825
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2827
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2829
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2830
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2831
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2832
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2834
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2835
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2836
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2837
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2838
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2840
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2841
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2843
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2844
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2846
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2847
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2849
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2850
in handling of revision properties.
2851
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2853
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2854
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2858
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2859
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2860
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2861
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2862
(John Arbash Meinel)
2864
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2865
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2866
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2868
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2869
=====================
2873
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2874
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2875
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2876
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2877
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2878
a more conservative list than the old default.
2879
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2880
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2881
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2882
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2884
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2885
to more locations than just branch locations.
2890
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2891
revno:N:branch. For example,
2892
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2893
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2895
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2896
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2897
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2898
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2899
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2900
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2901
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2902
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2905
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2906
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2907
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2910
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2911
(Alexander Belchenko)
2913
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2915
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2918
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2919
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2920
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2921
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2922
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2923
(John Arbash Meinel)
2925
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2926
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2927
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2928
grained analysis of performance.
2929
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2931
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2932
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2934
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2935
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2936
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2937
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2938
file. (Robert Collins).
2940
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2941
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2942
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2944
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2945
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2948
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2949
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2951
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2952
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2953
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2954
the same way you would apply another branch.
2955
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2957
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2958
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2960
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2963
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2966
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2967
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2968
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2970
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2971
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2972
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2974
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2975
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2977
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2978
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2979
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2980
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2981
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2983
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2984
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2986
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2987
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2988
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2989
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2990
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2991
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2992
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2993
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2995
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2996
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2997
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3001
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3003
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3005
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3006
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3008
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3009
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3011
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3012
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3014
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3016
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3017
(John Arbash Meinel)
3019
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3020
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3022
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3023
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3026
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3027
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3029
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3030
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3032
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3033
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3034
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3035
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3037
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3038
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3040
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3042
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3043
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3045
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3047
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3049
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3050
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3052
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3053
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3055
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3056
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3057
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3059
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3060
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3061
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3063
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3064
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3066
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3067
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3069
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3070
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3072
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3073
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3075
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3076
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3078
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3079
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3080
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3082
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3084
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3085
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3089
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3090
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3091
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3093
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3094
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3096
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3097
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3098
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3100
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3101
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3103
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3104
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3107
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3108
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3109
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3111
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3112
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3113
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3115
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3116
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3117
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3119
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3120
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3121
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3123
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3124
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3125
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3127
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3128
instead. (Robert Collins)
3130
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3132
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3133
=====================
3137
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3139
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3140
=====================
3144
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3145
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3147
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3148
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3150
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3151
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3152
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3156
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3158
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3159
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3161
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3165
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3166
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3167
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3168
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3172
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3173
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3174
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3178
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3179
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3180
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3184
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3185
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3190
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3192
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3193
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3194
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3195
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3196
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3197
will keep the same format.
3199
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3200
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3201
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3202
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3203
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3205
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3206
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3207
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3208
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3209
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3210
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3211
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3213
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3214
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3215
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3216
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3217
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3219
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3220
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3221
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3227
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3228
convention. Paths now take the form::
3230
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3232
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3234
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3235
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3237
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3238
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3239
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3241
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3242
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3243
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3244
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3246
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3247
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3248
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3250
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3252
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3254
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3255
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3258
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3259
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3262
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3264
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3265
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3266
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3269
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3271
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3273
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3276
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3277
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3279
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3280
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3283
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3284
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3287
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3289
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3291
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3292
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3294
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3295
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3296
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3297
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3298
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3299
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3301
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3303
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3304
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3307
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3308
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3310
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3311
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3313
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3315
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3316
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3317
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3318
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3319
specification by Martin Pool.
3320
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3322
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3325
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3326
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3328
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3329
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3330
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3332
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3334
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3335
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3340
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3341
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3343
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3345
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3347
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3350
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3351
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3352
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3353
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3357
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3358
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3359
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3360
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3362
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3363
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3364
tried. (Martin Pool)
3366
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3369
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3371
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3372
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3373
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3375
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3376
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3378
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3379
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3380
paths. (Robert Collins)
3382
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3383
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3384
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3386
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3387
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3388
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3390
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3391
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3392
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3394
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3397
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3400
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3402
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3404
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3405
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3406
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3409
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3410
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3412
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3413
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3414
check. (Robert Collins)
3416
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3417
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3421
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3422
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3424
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3425
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3426
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3427
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3429
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3430
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3431
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3432
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3433
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3435
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3436
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3437
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3439
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3441
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3442
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3449
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3450
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3452
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3453
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3454
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3457
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3458
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3460
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3461
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3462
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3463
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3464
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3466
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3467
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3468
used. (Robert Collins)
3470
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3471
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3474
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3475
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3476
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3478
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3481
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3482
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3486
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3487
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3489
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3491
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3493
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3494
tree. (Robert Collins)
3496
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3497
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3498
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3501
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3504
* Tweaks to short log printing
3506
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3509
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3510
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3512
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3513
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3515
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3516
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3518
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3519
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3520
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3522
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3523
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3525
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3526
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3529
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3530
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3532
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3533
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3535
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3536
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3538
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3541
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3542
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3544
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3545
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3547
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3548
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3549
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3553
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3555
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3557
* Error when run with -OO
3559
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3562
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3564
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3566
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3567
ignored by diff and status
3569
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3570
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3572
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3574
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3576
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3577
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3579
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3580
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3582
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3585
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3586
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3588
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3590
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3591
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3593
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3596
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3597
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3599
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3603
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3604
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3606
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3608
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3610
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3612
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3613
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3614
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3616
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3618
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3619
(John Arbash Meinel)
3621
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3623
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3624
If adding a new test script please add that to
3625
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3627
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3628
imported. (Martin Pool)
3630
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3631
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3632
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3633
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3634
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3637
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3638
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3639
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3641
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3642
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3643
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3645
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3646
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3647
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3648
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3649
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3652
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3653
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3658
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3659
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3661
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3662
function. (Robert Collins)
3664
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3665
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3666
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3668
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3669
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3672
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3673
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3674
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3675
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3676
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3677
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3678
version. (Robert Collins)
3680
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3681
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3683
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3684
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3685
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3686
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3687
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3688
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3690
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3693
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3703
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3705
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3707
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3710
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3711
query method. (Robert Collins)
3713
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3716
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3719
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3722
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3723
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3724
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3725
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3727
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3728
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3729
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3730
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3732
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3733
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3740
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3743
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3747
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3748
a separator, not ':'.
3751
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3752
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3753
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3755
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3756
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3759
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3760
has been added that suppresses all output.
3762
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3765
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3766
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3768
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3769
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3771
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3772
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3774
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3775
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3776
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3777
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3779
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3781
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3782
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3784
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3785
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3787
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3788
output directory, if one was supplied.
3790
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3791
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3792
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3793
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3795
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3797
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3798
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3800
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3801
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3802
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3804
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3805
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3807
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3810
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3812
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3816
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3817
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3818
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3820
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3821
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3822
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3824
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3825
is given. (Martin Pool)
3827
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3828
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3829
file. (Robert Collins)
3831
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3836
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3837
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3838
representation. (Martin Pool).
3840
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3841
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3842
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3844
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3847
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3848
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3851
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3852
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3853
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3854
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3855
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3857
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3858
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3859
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3860
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3861
python path. (Robert Collins)
3863
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3864
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3865
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3866
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3868
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3869
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3871
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3872
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3875
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3876
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3877
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3879
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3880
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3881
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3883
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3884
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3886
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3887
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3888
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3891
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3892
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3893
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3894
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3897
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3900
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3901
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3904
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3905
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3906
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3908
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3909
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3910
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3912
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3913
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3914
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3916
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3917
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3919
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3920
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3921
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3922
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3923
caller. (Robert Collins)
3925
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3926
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3929
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3930
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3933
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3935
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3936
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3940
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3941
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3943
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3944
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3947
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3948
====================
3952
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3953
allow directories to be listed.
3955
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3956
upgrading branch format.
3960
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3968
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3969
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3970
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3971
high-latency connections.
3975
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3978
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3979
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3981
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3982
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3983
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3984
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3986
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3987
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3989
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3990
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3992
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3993
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3994
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3996
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3997
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3998
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4001
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4002
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4004
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4005
different partial views of history.
4007
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4008
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4012
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4013
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4014
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4016
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4017
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4020
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4021
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4023
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4026
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4027
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4029
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4030
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4031
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4032
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4034
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4036
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4037
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4040
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4041
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4043
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4044
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4045
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4050
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4051
for your viewing pleasure.
4053
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4054
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4056
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4057
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4058
handling of such circumstances.
4060
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4061
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4062
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4064
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4066
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4067
we call them revisions not patches.
4069
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4070
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4072
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4073
giving the revision *of that file*.
4075
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4076
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4077
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4081
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4082
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4084
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4085
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4088
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4089
====================
4093
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4095
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4098
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4100
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4102
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4103
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4107
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4108
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4110
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4111
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4112
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4113
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4116
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4117
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4121
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4123
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4124
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4127
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4128
====================
4132
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4133
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4134
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4135
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4138
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4141
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4142
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4143
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4144
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4145
for the operating system is still tried.
4147
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4148
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4149
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4154
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4158
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4160
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4163
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4169
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4171
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4174
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4175
====================
4179
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4180
help with intelligent shell completion.
4182
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4187
* Much better merge support.
4189
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4190
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4196
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4197
mention revisions that are not present.
4199
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4201
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4203
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4204
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4209
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4211
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4212
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4218
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4219
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4224
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4225
====================
4229
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4230
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4232
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4234
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4235
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4237
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4240
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4242
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4245
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4246
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4248
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4249
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4250
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4255
* Faster working tree operations.
4260
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4261
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4262
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4263
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4265
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4266
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4267
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4268
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4269
standard plugins directory.
4271
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4272
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4273
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4274
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4276
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4277
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4279
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4282
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4283
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4284
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4286
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4287
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4289
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4290
line options must come before the command name because they
4291
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4292
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4295
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4297
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4298
is available with ``--short``.
4303
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4306
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4307
=====================
4311
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4312
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4314
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4315
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4316
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4317
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4319
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4320
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4321
with the ``--forward`` option.
4323
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4324
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4330
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4331
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4333
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4335
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4336
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4338
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4340
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4341
either read or write mode.
4343
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4345
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4348
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4350
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4351
suggested by LarstiQ.
4353
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4354
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4356
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4359
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4360
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4362
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4363
haven't changed since the previous time.
4365
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4366
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4368
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4370
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4372
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4373
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4375
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4376
options through to an external GNU diff.
4378
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4381
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4387
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4388
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4390
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4396
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4397
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4400
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4401
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4403
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4404
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4406
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4407
under a different version.
4409
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4414
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4416
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4417
Scott James Remnant.
4419
* Better help messages for many commands.
4421
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4422
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4424
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4425
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4427
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4429
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4431
* New AtomicFile class.
4433
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4438
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4439
2.4 is now only recommended.
4442
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4443
=====================
4447
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4448
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4450
* More default ignore patterns.
4452
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4453
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4455
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4457
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4460
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4465
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4466
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4467
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4468
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4469
there are DNS problems.
4471
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4476
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4478
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4480
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4481
trailing newlines properly.
4486
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4489
* More tests in test.sh.
4491
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4492
directory and delete it when done.
4494
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4499
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4502
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4506
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4507
=====================
4511
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4514
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4516
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4519
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4522
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4524
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4528
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4529
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4534
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4535
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4540
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4544
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4552
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4555
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4556
===================================
4560
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4562
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4563
rather than replacing it.
4565
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4569
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4572
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4573
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4575
* Performance improvements.
4577
* New global --profile option.
4579
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4580
the root directory only.
4583
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4584
=====================
4588
* More information from info command.
4590
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4592
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4593
committing to stores.
4595
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4599
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4603
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4604
installation easier.
4606
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4610
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
