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)
18
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
19
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
20
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
25
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
26
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
30
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
31
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
32
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
34
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
35
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
36
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
37
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
41
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
42
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
43
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
44
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
46
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
47
(Robert Collins, #88319)
49
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
50
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
54
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
55
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
56
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
57
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
63
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
64
(Robert Collins, #157789)
66
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
67
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
69
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
72
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
73
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
75
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
76
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
78
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
79
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
81
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
82
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
83
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
85
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
86
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
88
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
89
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
91
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
92
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
94
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
95
(Robert Collins, #161240)
97
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
98
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
100
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
101
specify a port in urls.
102
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
104
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
105
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
107
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
108
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
110
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
111
(Robert Collins, #153789)
113
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
115
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
116
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
118
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
121
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
122
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
124
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
125
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
127
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
128
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
129
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
131
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
132
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
133
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
134
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
136
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
137
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
139
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
140
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
141
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
143
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
144
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
146
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
149
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
154
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
155
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
157
* The return value of
158
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
159
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
160
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
161
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
165
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
166
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
167
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
170
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
171
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
176
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
177
======================
179
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
183
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
184
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
186
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
187
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
188
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
189
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
190
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
191
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
192
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
193
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
194
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
195
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
196
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
197
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
202
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
203
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
204
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
205
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
206
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
207
for further details. (Robert Collins)
209
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
210
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
211
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
214
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
216
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
217
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
219
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
220
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
223
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
224
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
225
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
229
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
230
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
232
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
233
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
235
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
236
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
237
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
238
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
240
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
243
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
244
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
245
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
246
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
248
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
249
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
251
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
252
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
254
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
255
the contents. (Robert Collins)
257
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
258
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
262
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
263
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
265
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
266
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
268
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
269
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
271
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
272
(Martin Pool, #63894)
274
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
275
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
279
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
281
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
286
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
287
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
288
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
290
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
291
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
293
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
294
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
296
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
297
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
298
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
299
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
301
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
302
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
303
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
304
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
305
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
307
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
308
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
312
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
314
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
315
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
317
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
320
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
321
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
323
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
324
contains a symbolic link.
325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
327
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
328
(James Westby, #140615)
330
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
331
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
332
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
334
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
335
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
336
(Martin Pool, #144633)
338
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
340
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
343
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
347
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
348
directory to detect leaking tests.
349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
351
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
352
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
353
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
355
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
358
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
359
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
361
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
366
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
367
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
369
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
370
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
371
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
373
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
374
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
375
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
377
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
378
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
380
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
381
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
383
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
384
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
387
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
388
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
390
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
394
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
395
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
397
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
398
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
399
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
401
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
402
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
403
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
406
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
407
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
408
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
409
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
414
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
415
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
416
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
418
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
419
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
420
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
421
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
423
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
424
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
427
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
428
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
429
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
431
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
432
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
433
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
435
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
436
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
438
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
439
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
440
to complete. (Robert Collins)
442
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
443
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
445
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
446
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
447
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
449
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
450
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
451
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
453
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
454
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
455
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
456
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
458
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
459
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
460
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
461
returned. (Robert Collins)
463
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
464
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
466
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
467
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
468
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
469
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
472
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
473
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
477
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
478
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
480
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
481
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
482
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
483
makes this behavior available to other users.
486
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
487
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
495
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
496
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
497
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
499
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
501
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
502
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
503
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
504
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
506
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
507
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
511
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
512
======================
514
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
518
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
519
======================
523
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
524
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
525
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
526
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
529
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
530
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
531
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
536
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
537
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
538
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
541
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
542
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
543
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
545
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
546
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
547
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
549
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
550
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
552
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
553
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
554
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
555
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
556
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
557
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
558
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
559
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
560
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
561
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
563
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
564
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
566
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
567
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
568
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
572
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
573
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
575
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
576
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
577
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
579
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
580
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
582
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
583
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
585
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
588
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
589
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
591
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
592
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
594
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
595
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
597
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
598
(Blake Winton, #129299)
600
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
602
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
605
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
606
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
607
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
608
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
610
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
612
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
613
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
616
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
617
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
619
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
620
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
623
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
624
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
626
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
627
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
629
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
630
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
631
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
632
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
633
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
634
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
635
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
637
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
638
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
640
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
641
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
643
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
644
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
646
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
649
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
653
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
654
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
656
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
657
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
658
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
660
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
661
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
662
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
666
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
667
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
669
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
672
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
675
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
676
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
678
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
680
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
681
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
683
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
684
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
686
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
687
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
688
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
689
space). (Robert Collins)
691
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
692
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
695
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
696
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
698
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
699
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
701
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
702
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
703
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
704
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
706
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
707
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
708
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
711
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
714
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
715
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
716
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
718
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
719
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
720
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
721
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
722
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
726
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
727
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
729
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
730
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
731
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
732
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
733
affected. (Robert Collins)
735
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
736
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
737
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
740
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
741
previous release. (Martin Pool)
745
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
746
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
748
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
749
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
751
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
752
previous release. (Martin Pool)
754
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
757
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
758
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
762
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
763
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
764
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
765
its version information. (Robert Collins)
767
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
768
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
770
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
771
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
772
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
773
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
775
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
776
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
777
present. (Robert Collins)
779
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
780
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
781
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
782
API. (Robert Collins)
784
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
785
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
788
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
789
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
791
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
792
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
793
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
794
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
795
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
796
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
798
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
799
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
800
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
802
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
803
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
804
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
805
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
808
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
811
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
812
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
813
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
814
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
815
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
816
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
817
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
819
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
820
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
821
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
822
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
824
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
825
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
826
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
827
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
828
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
829
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
831
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
832
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
833
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
835
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
836
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
844
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
845
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
846
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
847
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
848
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
849
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
850
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
851
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
856
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
857
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
858
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
861
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
862
======================
866
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
867
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
868
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
869
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
870
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
872
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
875
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
879
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
880
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
883
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
884
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
887
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
890
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
891
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
893
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
894
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
896
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
897
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
899
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
900
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
902
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
903
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
905
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
910
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
911
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
913
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
914
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
916
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
917
the repository (Robert Collins)
919
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
920
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
921
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
922
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
923
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
925
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
926
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
928
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
929
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
932
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
933
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
934
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
936
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
937
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
938
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
941
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
942
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
945
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
946
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
948
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
951
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
953
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
955
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
956
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
958
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
959
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
962
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
963
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
964
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
965
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
967
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
968
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
969
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
971
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
972
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
973
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
975
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
976
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
978
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
979
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
980
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
981
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
982
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
983
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
986
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
987
(Alexander Belchenko)
989
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
990
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
992
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
993
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
995
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
997
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
998
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1002
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1003
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1004
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1005
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1007
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1009
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1012
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1013
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1014
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1015
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1016
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1017
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1021
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1022
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1023
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1024
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1026
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1027
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1028
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1029
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1030
tests have been refactored too.
1033
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1034
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1035
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1039
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1040
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1041
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1043
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1044
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1045
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1046
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1047
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1048
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1049
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1051
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1052
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1053
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1054
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1055
(John Arbash Meinel)
1057
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1058
functionality for testing.
1060
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1062
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1063
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1065
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1067
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1070
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1071
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1073
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1074
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1075
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1077
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1080
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1081
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1083
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1084
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1085
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1086
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1088
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1089
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1091
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1092
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1093
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1095
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1098
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1099
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1100
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1101
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1102
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1103
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1105
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1106
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1107
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1108
many files. (Robert Collins)
1110
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1111
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1112
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1113
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1117
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1118
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1119
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1121
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1122
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1124
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1125
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1126
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1130
====================
1134
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1137
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1138
=======================
1142
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1143
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1145
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1146
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1147
(James Westby, #122656)
1149
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1150
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1152
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1153
authentication header.
1154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1156
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1158
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1159
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1161
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1163
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1166
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1167
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1168
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1170
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1171
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1172
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1174
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1175
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1177
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1178
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1180
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1181
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1183
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1185
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1189
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1190
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1191
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1192
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1193
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1194
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1196
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1197
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1198
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1200
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1203
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1204
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1206
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1207
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1209
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1210
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1212
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1213
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1214
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1215
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1216
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1218
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1219
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1221
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1222
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1223
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1225
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1226
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1228
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1230
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1231
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1233
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1234
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1237
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1240
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1241
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1243
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1244
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1246
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1247
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1249
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1251
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1252
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1254
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1259
* Testing cleanups -
1260
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1261
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1262
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1263
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1264
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1265
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1266
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1267
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1268
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1269
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1270
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1271
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1272
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1273
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1274
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1275
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1276
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1279
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1281
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1282
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1283
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1285
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1286
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1288
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1289
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1291
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1293
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1294
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1295
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1296
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1297
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1298
same location. (Robert Collins)
1302
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1304
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1306
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1308
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1311
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1314
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1315
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1316
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1318
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1320
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1321
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1322
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1324
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1325
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1327
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1328
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1329
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1331
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1332
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1333
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1335
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1336
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1337
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1339
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1340
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1343
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1344
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1346
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1347
(Alexander Belchenko)
1351
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1352
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1353
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1354
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1356
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1357
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1358
testing. (Robert Collins)
1360
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1361
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1363
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1364
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1365
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1366
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1367
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1368
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1369
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1371
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1372
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1373
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1374
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1376
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1377
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1379
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1380
avoid useless cloning.
1381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1385
====================
1389
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1390
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1392
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1393
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
1396
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1397
=======================
1399
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1401
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1402
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1403
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1404
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1405
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1406
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1407
and unlock() like so::
1409
work_tree.lock_read()
1411
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1416
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1417
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1419
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1420
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1421
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1423
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1424
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1425
too. (Robert Collins)
1429
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1430
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1433
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1434
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1436
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1437
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1439
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1440
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1441
understanding what changes have occurred
1442
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1444
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1445
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1446
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1448
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1449
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1450
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1451
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1453
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1458
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1459
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1460
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1461
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1462
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1464
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1465
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1466
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1468
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1471
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1475
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1476
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1478
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1479
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1481
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1482
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1484
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1485
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1487
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1488
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1490
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1491
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1492
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1495
====================
1499
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1500
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1501
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1502
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1503
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1505
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1506
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1507
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1509
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1510
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1514
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1515
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1516
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1518
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1519
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1520
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1521
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1523
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1524
=======================
1528
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1529
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1530
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1531
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1533
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1534
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1535
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1537
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1538
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1540
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1541
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1543
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1544
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1546
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1547
=======================
1549
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1551
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1552
it could be recovered again.
1553
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1554
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1555
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1557
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1559
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1560
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1564
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1565
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1567
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1568
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1569
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1570
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1572
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1573
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1575
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1576
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1577
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1579
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1580
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1581
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1583
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1584
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1585
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1587
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1588
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1591
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1594
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1595
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1596
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1597
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1599
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1602
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1603
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1604
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1607
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1608
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1610
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1611
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1613
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1614
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1615
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1616
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1619
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1620
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1622
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1623
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1625
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1626
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1627
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1629
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1630
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1631
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1633
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1634
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1635
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1637
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1638
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1639
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1640
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1642
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1643
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1644
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1645
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1647
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1648
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1649
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1650
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1651
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1652
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1653
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1654
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1660
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1661
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1663
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1664
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1665
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1666
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1667
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1669
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1670
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1672
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1673
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1675
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1676
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1678
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1679
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1681
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1682
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1683
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1686
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1687
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1688
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1689
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1690
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1693
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1694
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1695
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1697
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1698
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1701
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1702
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1703
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1706
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1707
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1708
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1709
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1710
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1712
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1713
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1714
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1715
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1717
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1718
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1720
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1721
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1722
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1723
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1724
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1725
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1727
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1728
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1730
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1731
help. (Robert Collins)
1733
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1734
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1736
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1737
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1738
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1739
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1740
(John Arbash Meinel)
1742
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1743
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1744
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1745
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1746
useful. (Robert Collins)
1748
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1753
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1754
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1756
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1757
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1759
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1760
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1761
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1763
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1766
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1767
the file, and does it faster.
1768
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1770
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1771
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1772
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1774
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1775
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1776
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1777
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1779
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1780
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1781
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1782
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1784
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1785
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1787
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1788
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1789
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1790
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1793
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1795
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1796
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1798
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1799
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1801
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1802
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1803
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1804
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1808
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1813
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1814
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1815
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1817
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1818
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1820
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1821
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1822
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1823
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1824
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1825
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1826
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1827
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1829
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1830
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1831
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1833
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1834
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1835
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1836
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1837
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1839
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1841
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1842
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1843
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1845
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1846
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1854
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1857
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1858
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1861
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1862
=======================
1866
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1867
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1872
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1873
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1874
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1875
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1876
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1877
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1878
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1879
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1884
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1885
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1886
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1888
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1889
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1892
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1893
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1894
(John Arbash Meinel)
1896
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1897
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1898
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1899
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1900
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1904
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1907
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1908
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1910
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1911
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1913
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1914
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1915
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1917
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1918
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1920
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1921
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1922
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1923
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1924
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1926
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1927
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1928
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1930
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1933
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1934
=======================
1936
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1938
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1939
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1940
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1944
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1945
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1947
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1948
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1950
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1952
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1953
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1955
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1956
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1960
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1965
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1966
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1967
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1968
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1970
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1971
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1973
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1974
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1976
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1979
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1980
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1983
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1984
=======================
1988
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1989
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1990
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1991
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1992
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1993
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1995
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1996
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1997
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1998
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1999
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2000
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2002
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2004
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2005
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2006
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2007
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2008
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2009
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2010
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2011
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2015
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2016
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2018
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2019
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2020
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2021
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2023
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2024
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2025
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2026
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2027
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2029
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2032
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2035
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2038
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2039
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2042
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2045
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2046
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2048
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2049
directory. (Martin Pool)
2051
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2052
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2053
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2054
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2056
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2057
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2058
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2059
in docs/configuration.txt.
2061
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2062
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2065
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2066
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2067
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2068
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2069
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2070
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2072
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2073
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2075
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2076
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2078
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2083
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2084
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2085
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2086
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2087
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2088
(John Arbash Meinel)
2090
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2091
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2094
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2095
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2096
(John Arbash Meinel)
2098
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2099
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2100
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2101
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2102
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2103
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2105
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2106
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2107
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2109
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2110
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2111
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2112
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2114
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2116
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2117
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2118
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2119
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2121
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2122
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2123
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2124
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2126
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2127
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2128
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2130
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2131
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2132
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2134
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2135
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2136
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2137
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2139
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2140
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2141
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2143
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2144
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2145
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2147
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2148
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2149
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2150
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2151
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2152
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2153
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2154
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2155
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2156
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2157
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2161
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2162
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2163
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2165
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2168
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2169
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2170
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2171
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2173
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2174
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2177
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2178
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2180
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2182
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2183
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2184
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2186
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2187
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2189
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2192
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2195
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2196
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2198
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2200
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2201
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2205
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2206
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2210
====================
2214
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2218
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2219
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2220
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2222
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2223
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2224
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2227
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2228
=======================
2232
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2233
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2234
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2235
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2237
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2240
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2241
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2242
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2244
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2245
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2247
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2250
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2251
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2252
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2253
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2254
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2255
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2257
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2258
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2259
should enable you to do::
2261
[/home/user/project]
2262
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2263
push_location:policy = appendpath
2265
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2266
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2269
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2270
for each file. For example::
2272
$ bzr status --short
2278
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2279
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2281
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2283
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2284
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2286
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2290
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2291
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2292
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2293
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2295
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2296
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2297
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2299
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2301
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2302
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2303
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2304
(Alexander Belchenko)
2306
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2309
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2310
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2312
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2316
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2317
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2319
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2320
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2321
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2322
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2323
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2325
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2326
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2328
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2329
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2331
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2333
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2335
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2336
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2337
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2338
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2339
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2341
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2342
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2343
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2344
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2346
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2347
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2349
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2350
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2352
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2353
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2355
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2356
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
2364
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2365
=======================
2369
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2371
(Daniel Silverstone)
2373
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2374
operations are substantially faster.
2375
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2377
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2378
tree from some other url. For example:
2379
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2380
(Daniel Silverstone)
2382
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2383
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2384
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2385
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2387
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2390
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2391
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2392
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2393
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2394
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2395
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2399
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2400
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2403
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2404
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2405
(John Arbash Meinel)
2407
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2408
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2409
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2410
(John Arbash Meinel)
2412
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2413
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2415
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2416
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2418
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2419
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2424
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2425
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2426
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2428
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2429
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2430
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2431
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2433
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2435
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2436
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2438
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2439
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2440
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2443
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2444
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2445
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2447
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2448
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2449
them as full references rather than integers.
2450
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2452
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2453
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2455
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2457
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2458
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2460
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2461
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2463
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2464
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2465
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2466
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2468
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2469
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2470
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2472
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2473
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2475
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2476
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2477
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2478
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2479
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2483
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2484
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2487
====================
2491
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2492
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2493
(John Arbash Meinel)
2495
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2496
=======================
2500
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2501
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2502
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2503
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2505
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2506
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2508
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2510
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2511
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2512
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2513
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2515
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2516
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2517
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2518
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2519
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2521
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2523
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2524
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2528
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2529
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2530
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2532
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2533
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2534
(John Arbash Meinel)
2536
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2537
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2538
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2540
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2541
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2544
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2545
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2546
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2548
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2549
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2550
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2551
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2552
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2553
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2555
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2556
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2557
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2560
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2561
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2565
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2566
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2567
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2570
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2571
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2573
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2574
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2575
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2577
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2578
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2580
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2581
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2582
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2583
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2585
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2586
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2588
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2589
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2590
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2592
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2593
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2595
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2597
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2598
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2603
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2604
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2605
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2606
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2608
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2609
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2610
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2613
====================
2615
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2617
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2618
=======================
2622
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2624
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2627
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2628
=======================
2632
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2633
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2634
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2635
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2636
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2637
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2638
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2640
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2641
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2642
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2644
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2646
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2647
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2649
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2650
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2651
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2654
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2655
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2656
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2657
(John Arbash Meinel)
2659
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2660
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2661
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2662
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2665
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2666
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2667
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2668
(John Arbash Meinel)
2672
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2673
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2675
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2677
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2678
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2679
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2681
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2682
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2684
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2685
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2687
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2688
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2690
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2691
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2693
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2695
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2696
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2698
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2699
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2701
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2702
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2704
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2705
(John Arbash Meinel)
2707
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2708
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2709
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2711
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2712
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2714
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2715
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2716
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2717
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2719
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2720
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2721
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2723
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2724
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2728
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2732
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2733
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2734
(John Arbash Meinel)
2736
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2737
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2738
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2739
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2741
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2744
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2745
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2746
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2748
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2749
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2751
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2752
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2753
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2755
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2756
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2757
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2758
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2759
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2760
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2761
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2762
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2763
caller to repeat their request.
2764
(John Arbash Meinel)
2766
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2767
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2769
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2770
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2772
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2773
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2774
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2775
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2776
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2777
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2778
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2780
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2781
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2782
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2783
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2784
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2785
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2786
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2787
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2790
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2791
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2792
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2794
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2795
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2797
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2798
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2800
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2801
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2805
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2806
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2808
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2809
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2810
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2812
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2813
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2814
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2817
====================
2820
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2821
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2823
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2824
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2825
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2826
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2827
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2829
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2830
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2831
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2833
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2834
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2836
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2837
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2838
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2842
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2844
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2845
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2846
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2848
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2850
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2852
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2853
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2854
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2855
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2857
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2858
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2859
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2860
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2861
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2863
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2864
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2866
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2867
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2869
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2870
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2872
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2873
in handling of revision properties.
2874
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2876
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2877
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2881
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2882
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2883
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2884
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2885
(John Arbash Meinel)
2887
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2888
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2889
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2891
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2892
=====================
2896
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2897
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2898
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2899
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2900
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2901
a more conservative list than the old default.
2902
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2903
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2904
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2905
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2907
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2908
to more locations than just branch locations.
2913
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2914
revno:N:branch. For example,
2915
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2916
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2918
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2919
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2920
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2921
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2922
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2923
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2924
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2925
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2928
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2929
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2930
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2933
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2934
(Alexander Belchenko)
2936
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2938
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2941
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2942
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2943
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2944
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2945
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2946
(John Arbash Meinel)
2948
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2949
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2950
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2951
grained analysis of performance.
2952
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2954
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2955
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2957
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2958
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2959
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2960
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2961
file. (Robert Collins).
2963
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2964
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2965
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2967
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2968
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2971
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2972
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2974
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2975
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2976
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2977
the same way you would apply another branch.
2978
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2980
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2981
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2983
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2986
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2989
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2990
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2991
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2993
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2994
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2995
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2997
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2998
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3000
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3001
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3002
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3003
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3004
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3006
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3007
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3009
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3010
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3011
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3012
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3013
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3014
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3015
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3016
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3018
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3019
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3020
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3024
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3026
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3028
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3029
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3031
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3032
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3034
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3035
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3037
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3039
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3040
(John Arbash Meinel)
3042
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3043
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3045
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3046
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3049
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3050
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3052
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3053
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3055
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3056
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3057
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3058
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3060
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3061
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3063
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3065
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3066
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3068
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3070
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3072
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3073
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3075
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3076
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3078
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3079
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3080
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3082
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3083
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3084
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3086
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3087
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3089
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3090
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3092
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3093
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3095
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3096
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3098
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3099
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3101
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3102
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3103
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3105
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3107
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3108
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3112
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3113
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3114
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3116
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3117
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3119
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3120
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3121
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3123
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3124
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3126
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3127
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3130
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3131
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3132
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3134
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3135
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3136
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3138
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3139
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3140
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3142
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3143
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3144
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3146
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3147
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3148
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3150
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3151
instead. (Robert Collins)
3153
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3155
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3156
=====================
3160
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3162
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3163
=====================
3167
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3168
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3170
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3171
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3173
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3174
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3175
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3179
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3181
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3182
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3184
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3188
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3189
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3190
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3191
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3195
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3196
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3197
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3201
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3202
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3203
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3207
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3208
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3213
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3215
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3216
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3217
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3218
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3219
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3220
will keep the same format.
3222
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3223
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3224
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3225
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3226
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3228
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3229
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3230
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3231
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3232
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3233
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3234
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3236
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3237
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3238
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3239
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3240
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3242
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3243
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3244
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3250
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3251
convention. Paths now take the form::
3253
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3255
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3257
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3258
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3260
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3261
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3262
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3264
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3265
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3266
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3267
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3269
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3270
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3271
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3273
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3275
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3277
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3278
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3281
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3282
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3285
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3287
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3288
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3289
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3292
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3294
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3296
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3299
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3300
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3302
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3303
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3306
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3307
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3310
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3312
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3314
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3315
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3317
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3318
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3319
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3320
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3321
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3322
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3324
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3326
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3327
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3330
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3331
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3333
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3334
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3336
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3338
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3339
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3340
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3341
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3342
specification by Martin Pool.
3343
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3345
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3348
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3349
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3351
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3352
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3353
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3355
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3357
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3358
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3363
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3364
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3366
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3368
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3370
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3373
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3374
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3375
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3376
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3380
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3381
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3382
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3383
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3385
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3386
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3387
tried. (Martin Pool)
3389
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3392
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3394
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3395
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3396
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3398
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3399
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3401
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3402
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3403
paths. (Robert Collins)
3405
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3406
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3407
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3409
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3410
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3411
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3413
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3414
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3415
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3417
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3420
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3423
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3425
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3427
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3428
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3429
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3432
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3433
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3435
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3436
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3437
check. (Robert Collins)
3439
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3440
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3444
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3445
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3447
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3448
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3449
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3450
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3452
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3453
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3454
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3455
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3456
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3458
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3459
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3460
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3462
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3464
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3465
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3472
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3473
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3475
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3476
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3477
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3480
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3481
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3483
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3484
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3485
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3486
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3487
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3489
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3490
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3491
used. (Robert Collins)
3493
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3494
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3497
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3498
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3499
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3501
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3504
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3505
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3509
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3510
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3512
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3514
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3516
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3517
tree. (Robert Collins)
3519
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3520
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3521
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3524
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3527
* Tweaks to short log printing
3529
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3532
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3533
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3535
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3536
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3538
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3539
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3541
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3542
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3543
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3545
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3546
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3548
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3549
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3552
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3553
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3555
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3556
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3558
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3559
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3561
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3564
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3565
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3567
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3568
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3570
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3571
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3572
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3576
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3578
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3580
* Error when run with -OO
3582
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3585
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3587
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3589
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3590
ignored by diff and status
3592
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3593
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3595
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3597
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3599
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3600
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3602
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3603
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3605
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3608
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3609
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3611
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3613
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3614
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3616
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3619
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3620
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3622
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3626
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3627
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3629
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3631
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3633
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3635
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3636
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3637
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3639
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3641
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3642
(John Arbash Meinel)
3644
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3646
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3647
If adding a new test script please add that to
3648
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3650
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3651
imported. (Martin Pool)
3653
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3654
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3655
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3656
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3657
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3660
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3661
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3662
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3664
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3665
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3666
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3668
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3669
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3670
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3671
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3672
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3675
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3676
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3681
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3682
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3684
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3685
function. (Robert Collins)
3687
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3688
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3689
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3691
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3692
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3695
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3696
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3697
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3698
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3699
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3700
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3701
version. (Robert Collins)
3703
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3704
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3706
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3707
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3708
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3709
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3710
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3711
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3713
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3716
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3726
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3728
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3730
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3733
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3734
query method. (Robert Collins)
3736
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3739
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3742
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3745
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3746
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3747
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3748
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3750
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3751
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3752
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3753
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3755
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3756
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3763
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3766
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3770
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3771
a separator, not ':'.
3774
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3775
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3776
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3778
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3779
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3782
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3783
has been added that suppresses all output.
3785
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3788
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3789
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3791
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3792
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3794
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3795
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3797
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3798
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3799
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3800
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3802
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3804
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3805
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3807
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3808
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3810
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3811
output directory, if one was supplied.
3813
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3814
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3815
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3816
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3818
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3820
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3821
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3823
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3824
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3825
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3827
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3828
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3830
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3833
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3835
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3839
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3840
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3841
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3843
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3844
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3845
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3847
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3848
is given. (Martin Pool)
3850
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3851
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3852
file. (Robert Collins)
3854
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3859
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3860
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3861
representation. (Martin Pool).
3863
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3864
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3865
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3867
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3870
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3871
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3874
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3875
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3876
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3877
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3878
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3880
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3881
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3882
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3883
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3884
python path. (Robert Collins)
3886
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3887
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3888
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3889
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3891
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3892
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3894
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3895
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3898
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3899
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3900
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3902
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3903
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3904
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3906
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3907
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3909
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3910
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3911
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3914
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3915
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3916
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3917
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3920
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3923
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3924
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3927
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3928
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3929
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3931
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3932
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3933
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3935
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3936
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3937
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3939
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3940
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3942
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3943
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3944
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3945
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3946
caller. (Robert Collins)
3948
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3949
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3952
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3953
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3956
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3958
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3959
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3963
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3964
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3966
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3967
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3970
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3971
====================
3975
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3976
allow directories to be listed.
3978
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3979
upgrading branch format.
3983
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3991
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3992
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3993
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3994
high-latency connections.
3998
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4001
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4002
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4004
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4005
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4006
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4007
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4009
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4010
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4012
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4013
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4015
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4016
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4017
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4019
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4020
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4021
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4024
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4025
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4027
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4028
different partial views of history.
4030
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4031
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4035
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4036
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4037
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4039
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4040
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4043
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4044
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4046
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4049
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4050
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4052
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4053
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4054
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4055
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4057
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4059
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4060
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4063
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4064
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4066
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4067
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4068
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4073
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4074
for your viewing pleasure.
4076
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4077
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4079
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4080
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4081
handling of such circumstances.
4083
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4084
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4085
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4087
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4089
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4090
we call them revisions not patches.
4092
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4093
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4095
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4096
giving the revision *of that file*.
4098
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4099
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4100
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4104
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4105
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4107
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4108
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4111
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4112
====================
4116
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4118
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4121
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4123
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4125
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4126
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4130
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4131
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4133
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4134
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4135
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4136
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4139
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4140
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4144
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4146
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4147
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4150
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4151
====================
4155
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4156
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4157
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4158
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4161
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4164
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4165
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4166
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4167
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4168
for the operating system is still tried.
4170
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4171
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4172
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4177
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4181
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4183
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4186
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4192
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4194
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4197
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4198
====================
4202
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4203
help with intelligent shell completion.
4205
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4210
* Much better merge support.
4212
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4213
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4219
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4220
mention revisions that are not present.
4222
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4224
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4226
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4227
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4232
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4234
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4235
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4241
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4242
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4247
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4248
====================
4252
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4253
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4255
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4257
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4258
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4260
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4263
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4265
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4268
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4269
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4271
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4272
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4273
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4278
* Faster working tree operations.
4283
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4284
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4285
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4286
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4288
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4289
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4290
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4291
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4292
standard plugins directory.
4294
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4295
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4296
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4297
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4299
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4300
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4302
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4305
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4306
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4307
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4309
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4310
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4312
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4313
line options must come before the command name because they
4314
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4315
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4318
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4320
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4321
is available with ``--short``.
4326
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4329
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4330
=====================
4334
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4335
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4337
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4338
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4339
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4340
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4342
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4343
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4344
with the ``--forward`` option.
4346
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4347
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4353
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4354
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4356
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4358
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4359
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4361
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4363
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4364
either read or write mode.
4366
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4368
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4371
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4373
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4374
suggested by LarstiQ.
4376
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4377
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4379
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4382
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4383
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4385
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4386
haven't changed since the previous time.
4388
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4389
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4391
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4393
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4395
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4396
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4398
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4399
options through to an external GNU diff.
4401
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4404
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4410
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4411
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4413
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4419
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4420
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4423
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4424
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4426
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4427
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4429
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4430
under a different version.
4432
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4437
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4439
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4440
Scott James Remnant.
4442
* Better help messages for many commands.
4444
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4445
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4447
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4448
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4450
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4452
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4454
* New AtomicFile class.
4456
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4461
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4462
2.4 is now only recommended.
4465
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4466
=====================
4470
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4471
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4473
* More default ignore patterns.
4475
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4476
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4478
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4480
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4483
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4488
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4489
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4490
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4491
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4492
there are DNS problems.
4494
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4499
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4501
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4503
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4504
trailing newlines properly.
4509
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4512
* More tests in test.sh.
4514
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4515
directory and delete it when done.
4517
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4522
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4525
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4529
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4530
=====================
4534
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4537
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4539
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4542
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4545
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4547
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4551
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4552
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4557
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4558
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4563
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4567
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4575
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4578
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4579
===================================
4583
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4585
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4586
rather than replacing it.
4588
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4592
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4595
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4596
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4598
* Performance improvements.
4600
* New global --profile option.
4602
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4603
the root directory only.
4606
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4607
=====================
4611
* More information from info command.
4613
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4615
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4616
committing to stores.
4618
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4622
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4626
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4627
installation easier.
4629
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4633
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
4634
========================
4638
* First public release.
