16
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
17
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
18
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
20
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
21
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
27
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
28
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
31
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
32
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
33
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
47
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
49
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
52
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
54
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
55
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
64
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
65
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
66
by mail to the mailing list.
71
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
73
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
74
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
75
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
76
feedback but also incur more latency.
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
79
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
80
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
84
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
86
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
91
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
92
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
93
wraps its output in a StringIO.
102
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
104
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
107
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
108
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
109
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
110
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
112
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
115
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
116
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
118
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
119
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
120
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
122
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
123
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
124
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
125
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
126
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
127
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
128
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
129
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
130
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
134
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
137
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
141
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
142
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
144
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
146
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
148
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
149
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
153
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
154
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
156
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
157
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
161
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
162
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
165
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
166
=====================
168
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
170
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
171
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
172
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
173
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
175
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
176
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
178
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
179
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
181
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
182
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
183
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
184
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
185
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
186
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
187
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
188
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
189
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
190
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
191
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
192
from any tree without problems.
193
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
197
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
198
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
199
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
201
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
202
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
203
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
208
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
209
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
210
supported transports.
213
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
214
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
215
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
217
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
218
(Robert Collins, #154173)
220
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
221
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
222
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
223
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
225
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
226
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
230
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
231
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
232
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
233
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
235
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
236
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
237
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
238
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
240
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
241
(Robert Collins, #88319)
243
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
244
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
246
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
247
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
249
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
250
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
255
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
258
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
259
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
262
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
263
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
264
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
265
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
267
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
268
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
269
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
270
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
276
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
277
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
279
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
280
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
282
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
283
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
285
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
286
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
288
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
289
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
291
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
292
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
294
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
297
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
300
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
303
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
304
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
307
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
308
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
310
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
311
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
313
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
314
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
316
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
319
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
320
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
321
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
322
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
324
(Martin Pool, #164637)
326
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
327
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
330
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
331
(Robert Collins, #161240)
333
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
335
(Martin Pool, #164443)
337
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
338
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
340
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
341
specify a port in urls.
342
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
344
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
345
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
347
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
348
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
350
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
351
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
353
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
354
(Robert Collins, #153789)
356
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
357
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
358
(Robert Collins, #165304).
360
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
362
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
363
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
365
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
368
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
369
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
371
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
372
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
374
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
375
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
376
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
378
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
379
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
381
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
382
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
383
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
384
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
386
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
387
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
389
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
390
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
391
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
393
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
394
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
396
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
399
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
404
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
405
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
407
* The return value of
408
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
409
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
410
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
411
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
413
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
416
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
417
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
423
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
424
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
425
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
428
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
429
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
431
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
441
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
444
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
445
======================
447
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
451
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
452
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
454
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
455
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
456
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
457
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
458
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
459
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
460
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
461
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
462
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
463
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
464
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
465
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
470
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
471
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
472
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
473
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
474
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
475
for further details. (Robert Collins)
477
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
478
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
479
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
482
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
484
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
485
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
487
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
488
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
491
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
492
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
493
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
497
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
498
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
500
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
501
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
503
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
504
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
505
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
506
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
508
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
511
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
512
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
513
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
514
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
516
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
517
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
519
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
520
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
522
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
523
the contents. (Robert Collins)
525
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
526
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
530
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
531
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
533
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
534
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
536
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
537
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
539
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
540
(Martin Pool, #63894)
542
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
543
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
547
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
549
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
554
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
555
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
556
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
558
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
559
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
561
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
562
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
564
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
565
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
566
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
567
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
569
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
570
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
571
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
572
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
573
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
575
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
576
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
580
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
582
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
583
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
585
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
588
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
591
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
592
contains a symbolic link.
593
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
595
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
596
(James Westby, #140615)
598
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
599
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
602
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
603
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
604
(Martin Pool, #144633)
606
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
608
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
609
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
611
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
615
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
616
directory to detect leaking tests.
617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
619
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
620
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
621
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
623
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
626
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
627
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
629
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
634
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
635
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
637
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
638
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
639
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
641
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
642
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
643
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
645
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
646
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
648
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
649
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
651
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
652
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
655
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
656
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
658
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
662
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
663
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
665
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
666
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
667
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
669
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
670
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
671
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
674
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
675
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
676
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
677
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
682
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
683
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
684
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
686
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
687
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
688
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
689
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
691
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
692
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
695
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
696
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
697
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
699
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
700
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
701
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
703
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
704
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
706
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
707
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
708
to complete. (Robert Collins)
710
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
711
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
713
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
714
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
715
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
717
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
718
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
719
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
721
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
722
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
723
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
724
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
726
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
727
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
728
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
729
returned. (Robert Collins)
731
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
732
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
734
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
735
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
736
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
737
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
740
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
741
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
745
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
746
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
748
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
749
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
750
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
751
makes this behavior available to other users.
754
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
755
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
763
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
764
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
765
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
767
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
769
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
770
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
771
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
772
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
774
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
775
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
779
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
780
======================
782
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
786
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
787
======================
791
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
792
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
793
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
794
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
797
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
798
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
799
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
804
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
805
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
806
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
809
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
810
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
811
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
813
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
814
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
815
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
817
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
818
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
820
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
821
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
822
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
823
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
824
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
825
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
826
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
827
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
828
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
829
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
831
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
832
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
834
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
835
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
836
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
840
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
841
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
843
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
844
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
845
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
847
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
848
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
850
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
851
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
853
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
856
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
857
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
859
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
860
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
862
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
863
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
865
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
866
(Blake Winton, #129299)
868
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
870
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
873
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
874
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
875
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
876
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
878
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
880
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
881
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
884
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
885
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
887
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
888
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
891
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
892
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
894
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
895
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
897
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
898
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
899
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
900
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
901
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
902
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
903
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
905
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
906
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
908
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
909
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
911
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
912
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
914
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
917
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
919
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
921
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
922
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
924
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
925
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
926
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
928
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
929
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
930
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
934
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
935
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
937
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
940
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
943
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
944
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
946
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
948
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
949
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
951
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
952
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
954
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
955
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
956
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
957
space). (Robert Collins)
959
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
960
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
963
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
964
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
966
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
967
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
969
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
970
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
971
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
972
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
974
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
975
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
976
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
979
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
982
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
983
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
984
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
986
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
987
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
988
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
989
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
990
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
994
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
995
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
997
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
998
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
999
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1000
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1001
affected. (Robert Collins)
1003
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1004
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1005
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1008
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1009
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1013
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1014
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1016
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1017
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1019
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1020
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1022
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1025
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1026
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1030
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1031
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1032
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1033
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1035
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1036
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1038
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1039
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1040
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1041
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1043
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1044
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1045
present. (Robert Collins)
1047
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1048
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1049
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1050
API. (Robert Collins)
1052
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1053
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1056
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1057
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1059
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1060
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1061
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1062
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1063
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1064
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1066
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1067
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1068
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1070
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1071
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1072
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1073
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1076
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1079
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1080
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1081
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1082
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1083
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1084
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1085
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1087
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1088
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1089
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1090
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1092
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1093
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1094
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1095
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1096
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1097
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1099
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1100
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1101
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1103
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1104
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1112
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1113
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1114
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1115
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1116
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1117
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1118
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1119
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1124
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1125
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1126
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1129
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1130
======================
1134
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1135
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1136
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1137
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1138
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1140
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1143
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1147
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1148
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1151
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1152
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1155
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1158
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1159
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1161
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1162
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1164
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1165
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1167
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1168
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1170
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1171
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1173
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1178
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1179
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1181
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1182
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1184
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1185
the repository (Robert Collins)
1187
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1188
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1189
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1190
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1191
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1193
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1194
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1196
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1197
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1198
(John Arbash Meinel)
1200
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1201
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1202
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1204
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1205
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1206
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1207
(John Arbash Meinel)
1209
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1210
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1213
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1214
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1216
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1219
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1221
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1223
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1224
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1226
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1227
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1230
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1231
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1232
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1233
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1235
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1236
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1237
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1239
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1240
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1241
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1243
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1244
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1246
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1247
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1248
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1249
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1250
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1251
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1254
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1255
(Alexander Belchenko)
1257
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1258
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1260
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1261
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1263
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1265
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1266
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1270
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1271
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1272
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1273
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1275
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1277
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1280
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1281
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1282
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1283
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1284
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1285
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1289
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1290
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1291
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1292
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1294
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1295
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1296
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1297
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1298
tests have been refactored too.
1301
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1302
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1303
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1307
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1308
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1309
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1311
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1312
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1313
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1314
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1315
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1316
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1317
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1319
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1320
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1321
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1322
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1323
(John Arbash Meinel)
1325
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1326
functionality for testing.
1328
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1330
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1331
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1333
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1335
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1338
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1339
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1341
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1342
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1343
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1345
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1348
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1349
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1351
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1352
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1353
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1354
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1356
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1357
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1359
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1360
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1361
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1363
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1366
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1367
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1368
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1369
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1370
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1371
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1373
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1374
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1375
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1376
many files. (Robert Collins)
1378
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1379
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1380
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1381
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1385
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1386
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1387
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1389
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1390
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1392
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1393
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1394
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1398
====================
1402
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1405
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1406
=======================
1410
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1411
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1413
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1414
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1415
(James Westby, #122656)
1417
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1418
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1420
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1421
authentication header.
1422
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1424
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1426
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1427
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1429
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1431
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1434
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1435
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1438
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1439
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1440
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1442
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1443
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1445
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1446
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1448
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1449
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1451
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1453
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1457
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1458
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1459
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1460
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1461
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1462
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1464
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1465
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1466
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1468
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1471
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1472
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1474
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1475
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1477
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1478
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1480
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1481
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1482
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1483
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1484
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1486
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1487
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1489
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1490
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1491
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1493
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1494
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1496
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1498
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1499
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1501
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1502
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1505
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1508
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1509
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1511
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1512
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1514
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1515
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1517
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1519
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1520
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1522
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1527
* Testing cleanups -
1528
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1529
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1530
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1531
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1532
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1533
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1534
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1535
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1536
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1537
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1538
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1539
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1540
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1541
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1542
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1543
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1544
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1547
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1549
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1550
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1551
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1553
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1554
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1556
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1557
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1559
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1561
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1562
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1563
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1564
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1565
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1566
same location. (Robert Collins)
1570
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1572
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1574
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1576
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1579
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1582
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1583
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1584
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1586
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1588
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1589
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1590
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1592
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1593
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1595
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1596
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1597
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1599
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1600
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1601
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1603
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1604
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1605
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1607
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1608
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1611
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1612
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1614
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1615
(Alexander Belchenko)
1619
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1620
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1621
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1622
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1624
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1625
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1626
testing. (Robert Collins)
1628
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1629
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1631
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1632
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1633
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1634
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1635
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1636
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1637
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1639
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1640
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1641
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1642
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1644
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1645
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1647
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1648
avoid useless cloning.
1649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1653
====================
1657
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1658
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1660
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1665
=======================
1667
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1669
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1670
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1671
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1672
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1673
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1674
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1675
and unlock() like so::
1677
work_tree.lock_read()
1679
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1684
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1685
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1687
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1688
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1689
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1691
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1692
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1693
too. (Robert Collins)
1697
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1698
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1701
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1702
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1704
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1705
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1707
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1708
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1709
understanding what changes have occurred
1710
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1712
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1713
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1714
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1716
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1717
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1718
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1719
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1721
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1726
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1727
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1728
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1729
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1730
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1732
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1733
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1734
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1736
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1737
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1739
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1743
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1744
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1746
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1747
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1749
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1750
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1752
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1753
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1755
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1756
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1758
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1759
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1760
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1768
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1769
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1770
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1771
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1773
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1774
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1775
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1777
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1778
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1782
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1783
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1784
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1786
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1787
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1788
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1789
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1791
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1792
=======================
1796
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1797
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1798
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1799
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1801
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1802
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1803
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1805
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1806
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1808
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1809
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1811
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1812
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1814
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1815
=======================
1817
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1819
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1820
it could be recovered again.
1821
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1822
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1823
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1825
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1827
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1828
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1832
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1833
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1835
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1836
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1837
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1838
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1840
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1841
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1843
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1844
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1845
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1847
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1848
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1849
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1851
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1852
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1853
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1855
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1856
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1859
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1862
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1863
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1864
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1865
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1867
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1870
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1871
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1872
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1875
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1876
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1878
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1879
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1881
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1882
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1883
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1884
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1887
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1888
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1890
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1891
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1893
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1894
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1895
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1897
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1898
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1899
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1901
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1902
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1903
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1905
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1906
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1907
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1908
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1910
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1911
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1912
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1913
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1915
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1916
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1917
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1918
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1919
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1920
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1921
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1922
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1928
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1929
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1931
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1932
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1933
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1934
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1935
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1937
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1938
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1940
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1941
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1943
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1944
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1946
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1947
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1949
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1950
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1951
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1954
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1955
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1956
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1957
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1958
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1961
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1962
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1963
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1965
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1966
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1969
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1970
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1971
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1974
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1975
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1976
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1977
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1978
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1980
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1981
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1982
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1983
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1985
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1986
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1988
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1989
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1990
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1991
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1992
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1993
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1995
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1996
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1998
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1999
help. (Robert Collins)
2001
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2002
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2004
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2005
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2006
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2007
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2008
(John Arbash Meinel)
2010
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2011
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2012
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2013
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2014
useful. (Robert Collins)
2016
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2021
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2022
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2024
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2025
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2027
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2028
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2029
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2031
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2034
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2035
the file, and does it faster.
2036
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2038
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2039
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2040
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2042
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2043
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2044
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2045
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2047
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2048
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2049
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2050
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2052
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2053
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2055
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2056
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2057
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2058
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2061
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2063
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2064
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2066
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2067
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2069
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2070
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2071
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2072
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2076
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2081
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2082
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2083
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2085
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2086
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2088
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2089
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2090
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2091
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2092
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2093
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2094
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2095
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2097
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2098
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2099
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2101
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2102
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2103
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2104
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2105
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2107
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2109
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2110
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2111
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2113
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2114
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2122
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2125
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2126
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2129
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2130
=======================
2134
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2135
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2140
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2141
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2142
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2143
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2144
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2145
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2146
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2147
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2152
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2153
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2154
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2156
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2157
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2160
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2161
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2162
(John Arbash Meinel)
2164
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2165
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2166
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2167
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2168
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2172
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2175
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2176
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2178
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2179
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2181
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2182
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2183
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2185
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2186
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2188
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2189
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2190
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2191
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2192
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2194
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2195
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2196
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2198
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2201
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2202
=======================
2204
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2206
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2207
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2208
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2212
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2213
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2215
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2216
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2218
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2220
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2221
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2223
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2224
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2228
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2233
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2234
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2235
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2236
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2238
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2239
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2241
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2242
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2244
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2247
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2248
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2251
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2252
=======================
2256
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2257
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2258
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2259
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2260
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2261
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2263
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2264
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2265
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2266
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2267
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2268
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2270
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2272
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2273
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2274
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2275
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2276
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2277
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2278
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2279
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2283
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2284
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2286
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2287
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2288
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2289
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2291
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2292
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2293
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2294
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2295
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2297
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2300
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2303
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2306
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2307
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2310
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2313
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2314
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2316
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2317
directory. (Martin Pool)
2319
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2320
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2321
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2322
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2324
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2325
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2326
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2327
in docs/configuration.txt.
2329
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2330
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2333
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2334
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2335
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2336
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2337
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2338
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2340
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2341
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2343
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2344
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2346
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2351
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2352
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2353
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2354
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2355
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2356
(John Arbash Meinel)
2358
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2359
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2362
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2363
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2364
(John Arbash Meinel)
2366
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2367
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2368
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2369
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2370
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2371
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2373
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2374
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2375
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2377
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2378
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2379
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2380
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2382
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2384
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2385
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2386
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2387
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2389
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2390
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2391
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2392
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2394
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2395
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2396
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2398
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2399
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2400
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2402
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2403
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2404
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2405
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2407
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2408
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2409
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2411
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2412
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2413
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2415
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2416
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2417
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2418
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2419
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2420
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2421
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2422
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2423
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2424
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2425
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2429
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2430
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2431
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2433
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2436
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2437
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2438
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2439
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2441
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2442
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2445
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2446
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2448
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2450
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2451
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2452
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2454
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2455
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2457
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2458
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2460
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2463
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2464
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2466
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2468
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2469
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2473
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2474
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2478
====================
2482
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2486
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2487
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2488
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2490
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2491
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2492
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2495
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2496
=======================
2500
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2501
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2502
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2503
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2505
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2508
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2509
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2510
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2512
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2513
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2515
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2518
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2519
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2520
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2521
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2522
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2523
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2525
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2526
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2527
should enable you to do::
2529
[/home/user/project]
2530
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2531
push_location:policy = appendpath
2533
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2534
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2537
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2538
for each file. For example::
2540
$ bzr status --short
2546
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2547
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2549
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2551
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2552
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2554
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2558
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2559
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2560
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2561
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2563
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2564
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2565
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2567
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2569
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2570
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2571
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2572
(Alexander Belchenko)
2574
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2577
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2578
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2580
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2584
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2585
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2587
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2588
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2589
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2590
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2591
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2593
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2594
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2596
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2597
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2599
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2601
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2603
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2604
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2605
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2606
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2607
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2609
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2610
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2611
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2612
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2614
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2615
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2617
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2618
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2620
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2621
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2623
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2624
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
2628
====================
2630
No changes from 0.13rc1
2632
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2633
=======================
2637
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2639
(Daniel Silverstone)
2641
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2642
operations are substantially faster.
2643
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2645
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2646
tree from some other url. For example:
2647
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2648
(Daniel Silverstone)
2650
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2651
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2652
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2653
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2655
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2658
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2659
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2660
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2661
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2662
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2663
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2667
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2668
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2671
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2672
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2673
(John Arbash Meinel)
2675
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2676
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2677
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2678
(John Arbash Meinel)
2680
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2681
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2683
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2684
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2686
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2687
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2692
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2693
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2694
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2696
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2697
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2698
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2699
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2701
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2703
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2704
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2706
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2707
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2708
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2711
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2712
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2713
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2715
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2716
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2717
them as full references rather than integers.
2718
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2720
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2721
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2723
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2725
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2726
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2728
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2729
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2731
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2732
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2733
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2734
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2736
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2737
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2738
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2740
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2741
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2743
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2744
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2745
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2746
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2747
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2751
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2752
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2755
====================
2759
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2760
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2761
(John Arbash Meinel)
2763
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2764
=======================
2768
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2769
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2770
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2771
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2773
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2774
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2776
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2778
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2779
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2780
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2781
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2783
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2784
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2785
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2786
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2787
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2789
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2791
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2792
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2796
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2797
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2798
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2800
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2801
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2802
(John Arbash Meinel)
2804
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2805
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2806
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2808
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2809
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2812
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2813
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2814
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2816
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2817
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2818
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2819
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2820
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2821
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2823
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2824
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2825
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2828
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2829
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2833
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2834
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2835
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2838
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2839
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2841
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2842
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2843
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2845
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2846
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2848
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2849
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2850
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2851
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2853
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2854
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2856
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2857
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2858
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2860
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2861
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2863
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2865
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2866
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2871
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2872
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2873
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2874
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2876
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2877
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2878
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2881
====================
2883
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2885
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2886
=======================
2890
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2892
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2895
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2896
=======================
2900
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2901
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2902
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2903
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2904
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2905
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2906
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2908
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2909
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2910
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2912
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2914
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2915
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2917
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2918
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2919
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2922
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2923
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2924
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2925
(John Arbash Meinel)
2927
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2928
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2929
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2930
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2933
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2934
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2935
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2936
(John Arbash Meinel)
2940
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2941
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2943
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2945
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2946
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2947
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2949
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2950
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2952
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2953
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2955
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2958
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2959
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2961
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2963
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2964
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2966
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2967
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2969
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2970
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2972
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2973
(John Arbash Meinel)
2975
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2976
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2977
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2979
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2980
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2982
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2983
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2984
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2985
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2987
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2988
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2989
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2991
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2992
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2996
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3000
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3001
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3002
(John Arbash Meinel)
3004
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3005
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3006
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3007
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3009
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3012
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3013
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3014
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3016
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3017
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3019
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3020
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3021
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3023
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3024
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3025
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3026
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3027
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3028
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3029
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3030
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3031
caller to repeat their request.
3032
(John Arbash Meinel)
3034
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3035
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3037
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3038
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3040
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3041
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3042
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3043
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3044
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3045
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3046
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3048
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3049
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3050
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3051
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3052
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3053
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3054
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3055
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3058
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3059
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3060
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3062
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3063
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3065
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3066
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3068
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3069
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3073
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3074
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3076
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3077
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3078
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3080
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3081
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3082
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3085
====================
3088
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3089
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3091
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3092
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3093
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3094
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3095
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3097
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3098
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3099
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3101
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3102
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3104
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3105
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3106
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3110
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3112
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3113
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3114
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3116
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3118
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3120
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3121
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3122
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3123
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3125
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3126
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3127
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3128
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3129
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3131
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3132
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3134
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3135
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3137
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3138
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3140
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3141
in handling of revision properties.
3142
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3144
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3145
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3149
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3150
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3151
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3152
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3153
(John Arbash Meinel)
3155
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3156
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3157
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3159
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3160
=====================
3164
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3165
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3166
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3167
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3168
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3169
a more conservative list than the old default.
3170
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3171
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3172
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3173
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3175
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3176
to more locations than just branch locations.
3181
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3182
revno:N:branch. For example,
3183
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3184
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3186
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3187
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3188
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3189
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3190
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3191
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3192
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3193
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3196
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3197
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3198
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3201
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3202
(Alexander Belchenko)
3204
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3206
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3209
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3210
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3211
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3212
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3213
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3214
(John Arbash Meinel)
3216
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3217
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3218
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3219
grained analysis of performance.
3220
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3222
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3223
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3225
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3226
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3227
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3228
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3229
file. (Robert Collins).
3231
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3232
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3233
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3235
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3236
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3239
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3240
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3242
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3243
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3244
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3245
the same way you would apply another branch.
3246
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3248
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3249
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3251
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3254
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3257
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3258
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3259
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3261
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3262
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3263
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3265
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3266
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3268
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3269
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3270
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3271
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3272
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3274
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3275
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3277
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3278
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3279
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3280
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3281
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3282
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3283
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3284
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3286
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3287
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3288
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3292
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3294
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3296
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3297
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3299
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3300
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3302
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3303
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3305
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3307
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3308
(John Arbash Meinel)
3310
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3311
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3313
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3314
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3317
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3318
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3320
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3321
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3323
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3324
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3325
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3326
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3328
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3329
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3331
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3333
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3334
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3336
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3338
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3340
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3341
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3343
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3344
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3346
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3347
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3348
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3350
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3351
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3352
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3354
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3355
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3357
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3358
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3360
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3361
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3363
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3364
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3366
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3367
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3369
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3370
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3371
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3373
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3375
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3376
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3380
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3381
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3382
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3384
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3385
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3387
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3388
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3389
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3391
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3392
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3394
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3395
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3398
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3399
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3400
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3402
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3403
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3404
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3406
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3407
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3408
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3410
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3411
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3412
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3414
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3415
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3416
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3418
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3419
instead. (Robert Collins)
3421
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3423
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3424
=====================
3428
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3430
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3431
=====================
3435
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3436
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3438
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3439
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3441
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3442
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3443
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3447
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3449
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3450
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3452
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3456
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3457
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3458
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3459
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3463
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3464
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3465
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3469
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3470
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3471
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3475
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3476
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3481
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3483
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3484
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3485
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3486
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3487
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3488
will keep the same format.
3490
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3491
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3492
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3493
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3494
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3496
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3497
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3498
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3499
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3500
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3501
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3502
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3504
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3505
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3506
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3507
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3508
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3510
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3511
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3512
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3518
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3519
convention. Paths now take the form::
3521
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3523
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3525
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3526
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3528
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3529
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3530
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3532
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3533
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3534
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3535
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3537
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3538
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3539
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3541
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3543
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3545
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3546
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3549
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3550
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3553
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3555
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3556
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3557
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3560
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3562
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3564
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3567
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3568
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3570
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3571
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3574
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3575
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3578
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3580
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3582
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3583
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3585
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3586
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3587
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3588
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3589
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3590
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3592
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3594
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3595
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3598
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3599
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3601
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3602
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3604
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3606
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3607
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3608
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3609
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3610
specification by Martin Pool.
3611
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3613
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3616
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3617
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3619
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3620
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3621
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3623
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3625
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3626
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3631
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3632
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3634
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3636
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3638
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3641
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3642
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3643
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3644
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3648
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3649
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3650
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3651
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3653
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3654
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3655
tried. (Martin Pool)
3657
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3660
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3662
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3663
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3664
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3666
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3667
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3669
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3670
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3671
paths. (Robert Collins)
3673
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3674
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3675
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3677
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3678
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3679
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3681
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3682
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3683
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3685
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3688
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3691
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3693
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3695
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3696
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3697
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3700
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3701
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3703
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3704
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3705
check. (Robert Collins)
3707
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3708
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3712
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3713
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3715
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3716
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3717
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3718
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3720
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3721
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3722
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3723
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3724
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3726
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3727
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3728
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3730
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3732
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3733
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3740
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3741
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3743
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3744
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3745
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3748
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3749
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3751
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3752
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3753
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3754
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3755
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3757
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3758
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3759
used. (Robert Collins)
3761
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3762
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3765
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3766
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3767
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3769
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3772
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3773
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3777
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3778
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3780
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3782
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3784
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3785
tree. (Robert Collins)
3787
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3788
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3789
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3792
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3795
* Tweaks to short log printing
3797
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3800
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3801
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3803
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3804
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3806
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3807
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3809
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3810
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3811
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3813
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3814
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3816
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3817
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3820
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3821
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3823
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3824
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3826
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3827
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3829
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3832
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3833
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3835
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3836
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3838
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3839
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3840
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3844
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3846
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3848
* Error when run with -OO
3850
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3853
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3855
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3857
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3858
ignored by diff and status
3860
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3861
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3863
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3865
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3867
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3868
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3870
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3871
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3873
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3876
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3877
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3879
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3881
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3882
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3884
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3887
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3888
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3890
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3894
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3895
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3897
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3899
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3901
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3903
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3904
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3905
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3907
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3909
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3910
(John Arbash Meinel)
3912
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3914
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3915
If adding a new test script please add that to
3916
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3918
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3919
imported. (Martin Pool)
3921
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3922
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3923
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3924
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3925
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3928
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3929
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3930
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3932
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3933
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3934
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3936
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3937
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3938
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3939
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3940
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3943
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3944
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3949
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3950
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3952
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3953
function. (Robert Collins)
3955
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3956
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3957
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3959
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3960
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3963
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3964
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3965
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3966
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3967
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3968
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3969
version. (Robert Collins)
3971
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3972
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3974
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3975
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3976
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3977
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3978
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3979
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3981
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3984
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3994
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3996
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3998
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4001
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4002
query method. (Robert Collins)
4004
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4007
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4010
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4013
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4014
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4015
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4016
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4018
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4019
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4020
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4021
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4023
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4024
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4031
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4034
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4038
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4039
a separator, not ':'.
4042
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4043
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4044
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4046
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4047
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4050
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4051
has been added that suppresses all output.
4053
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4056
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4057
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4059
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4060
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4062
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4063
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4065
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4066
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4067
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4068
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4070
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4072
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4073
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4075
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4076
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4078
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4079
output directory, if one was supplied.
4081
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4082
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4083
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4084
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4086
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4088
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4089
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4091
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4092
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4093
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4095
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4096
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4098
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4101
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4103
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4107
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4108
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4109
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4111
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4112
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4113
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4115
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4116
is given. (Martin Pool)
4118
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4119
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4120
file. (Robert Collins)
4122
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4127
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4128
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4129
representation. (Martin Pool).
4131
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4132
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4133
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4135
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4138
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4139
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4142
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4143
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4144
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4145
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4146
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4148
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4149
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4150
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4151
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4152
python path. (Robert Collins)
4154
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4155
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4156
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4157
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4159
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4160
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4162
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4163
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4166
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4167
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4168
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4170
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4171
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4172
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4174
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4175
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4177
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4178
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4179
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4182
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4183
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4184
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4185
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4188
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4191
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4192
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4195
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4196
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4197
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4199
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4200
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4201
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4203
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4204
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4205
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4207
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4208
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4210
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4211
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4212
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4213
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4214
caller. (Robert Collins)
4216
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4217
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4220
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4221
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4224
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4226
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4227
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4231
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4232
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4234
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4235
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4238
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4239
====================
4243
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4244
allow directories to be listed.
4246
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4247
upgrading branch format.
4251
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4259
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4260
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4261
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4262
high-latency connections.
4266
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4269
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4270
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4272
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4273
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4274
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4275
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4277
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4278
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4280
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4281
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4283
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4284
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4285
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4287
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4288
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4289
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4292
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4293
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4295
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4296
different partial views of history.
4298
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4299
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4303
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4304
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4305
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4307
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4308
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4311
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4312
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4314
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4317
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4318
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4320
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4321
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4322
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4323
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4325
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4327
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4328
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4331
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4332
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4334
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4335
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4336
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4341
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4342
for your viewing pleasure.
4344
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4345
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4347
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4348
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4349
handling of such circumstances.
4351
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4352
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4353
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4355
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4357
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4358
we call them revisions not patches.
4360
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4361
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4363
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4364
giving the revision *of that file*.
4366
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4367
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4368
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4372
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4373
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4375
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4376
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4379
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4380
====================
4384
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4386
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4389
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4391
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4393
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4394
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4398
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4399
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4401
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4402
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4403
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4404
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4407
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4408
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4412
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4414
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4415
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4418
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4419
====================
4423
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4424
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4425
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4426
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4429
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4432
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4433
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4434
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4435
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4436
for the operating system is still tried.
4438
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4439
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4440
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4445
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4449
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4451
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4454
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4460
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4462
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4465
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4466
====================
4470
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4471
help with intelligent shell completion.
4473
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4478
* Much better merge support.
4480
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4481
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4487
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4488
mention revisions that are not present.
4490
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4492
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4494
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4495
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4500
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4502
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4503
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4509
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4510
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4515
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4516
====================
4520
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4521
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4523
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4525
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4526
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4528
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4531
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4533
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4536
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4537
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4539
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4540
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4541
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4546
* Faster working tree operations.
4551
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4552
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4553
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4554
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4556
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4557
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4558
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4559
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4560
standard plugins directory.
4562
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4563
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4564
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4565
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4567
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4568
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4570
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4573
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4574
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4575
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4577
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4578
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4580
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4581
line options must come before the command name because they
4582
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4583
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4586
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4588
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4589
is available with ``--short``.
4594
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4598
=====================
4602
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4603
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4605
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4606
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4607
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4608
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4610
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4611
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4612
with the ``--forward`` option.
4614
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4615
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4621
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4622
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4624
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4626
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4627
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4629
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4631
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4632
either read or write mode.
4634
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4636
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4639
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4641
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4642
suggested by LarstiQ.
4644
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4645
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4647
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4650
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4651
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4653
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4654
haven't changed since the previous time.
4656
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4657
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4659
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4661
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4663
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4664
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4666
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4667
options through to an external GNU diff.
4669
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4672
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4678
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4679
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4681
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4687
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4688
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4691
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4692
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4694
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4695
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4697
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4698
under a different version.
4700
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4705
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4707
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4708
Scott James Remnant.
4710
* Better help messages for many commands.
4712
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4713
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4715
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4716
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4718
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4720
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4722
* New AtomicFile class.
4724
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4729
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4730
2.4 is now only recommended.
4733
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4734
=====================
4738
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4739
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4741
* More default ignore patterns.
4743
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4744
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4746
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4748
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4751
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4756
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4757
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4758
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4759
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4760
there are DNS problems.
4762
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4767
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4769
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4771
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4772
trailing newlines properly.
4777
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4780
* More tests in test.sh.
4782
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4783
directory and delete it when done.
4785
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4790
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4793
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4797
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4798
=====================
4802
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4805
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4807
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4810
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4813
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4815
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4819
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4820
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4825
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4826
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4831
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4835
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4843
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4846
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4847
===================================
4851
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4853
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4854
rather than replacing it.
4856
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4860
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4863
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4864
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4866
* Performance improvements.
4868
* New global --profile option.
4870
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4871
the root directory only.
4874
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4875
=====================
4879
* More information from info command.
4881
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4883
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4884
committing to stores.
4886
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4890
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4894

4895
installation easier.
4897
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
