12
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
17
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
22
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
24
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
26
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
27
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
29
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
31
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
32
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
36
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
37
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
45
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
46
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
47
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
48
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
50
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
51
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
53
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
54
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
56
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
57
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
58
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
59
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
60
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
61
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
62
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
63
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
64
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
65
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
66
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
67
from any tree without problems.
68
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
72
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
73
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
74
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
76
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
77
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
78
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
83
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
84
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
88
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
89
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
90
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
92
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
93
(Robert Collins, #154173)
95
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
96
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
97
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
98
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
100
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
101
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
105
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
106
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
107
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
108
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
110
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
111
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
112
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
113
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
115
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
116
(Robert Collins, #88319)
118
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
119
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
121
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
122
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
126
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
127
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
130
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
131
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
132
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
133
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
135
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
136
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
137
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
138
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
144
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
145
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
147
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
148
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
150
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
151
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
153
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
156
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
157
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
159
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
160
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
162
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
163
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
165
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
168
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
169
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
172
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
173
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
175
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
176
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
178
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
179
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
181
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
182
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
184
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
185
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
186
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
187
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
189
(Martin Pool, #164637)
191
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
192
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
195
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
196
(Robert Collins, #161240)
198
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
200
(Martin Pool, #164443)
202
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
203
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
205
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
206
specify a port in urls.
207
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
209
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
210
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
212
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
213
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
215
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
216
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
218
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
219
(Robert Collins, #153789)
221
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
222
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
223
(Robert Collins, #165304).
225
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
227
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
228
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
230
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
233
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
234
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
236
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
237
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
239
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
240
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
241
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
243
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
244
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
246
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
247
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
248
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
249
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
251
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
252
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
254
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
255
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
256
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
258
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
259
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
261
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
264
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
269
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
270
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
272
* The return value of
273
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
274
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
275
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
276
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
278
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
281
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
282
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
288
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
289
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
290
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
293
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
294
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
296
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
306
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
309
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
310
======================
312
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
316
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
317
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
319
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
320
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
321
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
322
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
323
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
324
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
325
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
326
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
327
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
328
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
329
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
330
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
335
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
336
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
337
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
338
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
339
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
340
for further details. (Robert Collins)
342
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
343
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
344
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
347
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
349
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
350
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
352
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
353
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
356
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
357
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
358
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
362
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
363
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
365
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
366
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
368
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
369
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
370
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
371
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
373
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
376
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
377
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
378
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
379
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
381
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
382
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
384
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
385
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
387
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
388
the contents. (Robert Collins)
390
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
391
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
395
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
396
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
398
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
399
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
401
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
402
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
404
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
405
(Martin Pool, #63894)
407
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
408
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
412
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
414
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
419
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
420
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
421
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
423
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
424
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
426
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
427
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
429
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
430
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
431
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
432
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
434
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
435
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
436
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
437
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
438
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
440
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
441
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
443
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
445
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
447
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
448
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
450
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
453
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
456
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
457
contains a symbolic link.
458
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
460
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
461
(James Westby, #140615)
463
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
464
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
467
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
468
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
469
(Martin Pool, #144633)
471
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
473
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
474
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
476
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
478
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
480
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
481
directory to detect leaking tests.
482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
484
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
485
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
486
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
488
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
491
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
492
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
494
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
499
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
500
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
502
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
503
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
504
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
506
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
507
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
508
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
510
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
511
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
513
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
514
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
516
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
517
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
520
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
521
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
523
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
527
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
528
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
530
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
531
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
532
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
534
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
535
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
536
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
539
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
540
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
541
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
542
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
547
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
548
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
549
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
551
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
552
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
553
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
554
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
556
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
557
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
560
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
561
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
562
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
564
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
565
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
566
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
568
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
569
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
571
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
572
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
573
to complete. (Robert Collins)
575
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
576
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
578
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
579
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
580
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
582
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
583
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
584
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
586
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
587
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
588
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
589
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
591
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
592
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
593
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
594
returned. (Robert Collins)
596
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
597
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
599
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
600
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
601
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
602
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
605
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
606
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
610
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
611
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
613
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
614
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
615
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
616
makes this behavior available to other users.
619
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
620
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
628
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
629
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
630
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
632
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
634
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
635
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
636
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
637
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
639
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
640
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
644
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
645
======================
647
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
651
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
652
======================
656
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
657
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
658
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
659
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
662
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
663
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
664
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
669
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
670
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
671
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
674
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
675
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
676
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
678
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
679
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
680
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
682
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
683
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
685
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
686
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
687
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
688
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
689
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
690
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
691
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
692
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
693
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
694
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
696
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
697
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
699
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
700
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
701
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
705
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
706
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
708
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
709
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
710
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
712
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
713
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
715
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
716
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
718
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
721
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
722
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
724
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
725
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
727
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
728
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
730
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
731
(Blake Winton, #129299)
733
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
735
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
738
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
739
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
740
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
741
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
743
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
745
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
746
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
749
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
750
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
752
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
753
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
756
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
757
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
759
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
760
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
762
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
763
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
764
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
765
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
766
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
767
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
768
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
770
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
771
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
773
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
774
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
776
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
777
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
779
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
782
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
786
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
787
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
789
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
790
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
791
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
793
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
794
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
795
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
799
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
800
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
802
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
805
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
808
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
809
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
811
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
813
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
814
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
816
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
817
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
819
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
820
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
821
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
822
space). (Robert Collins)
824
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
825
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
828
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
829
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
831
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
832
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
834
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
835
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
836
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
837
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
839
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
840
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
841
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
844
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
847
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
848
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
849
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
851
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
852
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
853
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
854
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
855
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
859
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
860
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
862
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
863
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
864
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
865
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
866
affected. (Robert Collins)
868
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
869
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
870
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
873
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
874
previous release. (Martin Pool)
878
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
879
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
881
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
882
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
884
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
885
previous release. (Martin Pool)
887
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
890
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
891
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
895
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
896
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
897
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
898
its version information. (Robert Collins)
900
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
901
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
903
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
904
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
905
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
906
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
908
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
909
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
910
present. (Robert Collins)
912
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
913
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
914
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
915
API. (Robert Collins)
917
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
918
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
921
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
922
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
924
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
925
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
926
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
927
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
928
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
929
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
931
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
932
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
933
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
935
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
936
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
937
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
938
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
941
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
944
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
945
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
946
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
947
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
948
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
949
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
950
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
952
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
953
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
954
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
955
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
957
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
958
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
959
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
960
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
961
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
962
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
964
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
965
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
966
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
968
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
969
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
977
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
978
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
979
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
980
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
981
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
982
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
983
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
984
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
989
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
990
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
991
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
994
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
995
======================
999
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1000
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1001
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1002
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1003
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1005
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1008
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1012
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1013
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1016
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1017
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1020
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1023
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1024
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1026
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1027
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1029
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1030
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1032
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1033
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1035
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1036
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1038
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1043
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1044
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1046
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1047
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1049
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1050
the repository (Robert Collins)
1052
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1053
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1054
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1055
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1056
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1058
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1059
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1061
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1062
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1063
(John Arbash Meinel)
1065
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1066
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1067
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1069
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1070
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1071
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1072
(John Arbash Meinel)
1074
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1075
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1078
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1079
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1081
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1084
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1086
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1088
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1089
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1091
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1092
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1095
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1096
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1097
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1098
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1100
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1101
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1102
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1104
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1105
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1106
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1108
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1109
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1111
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1112
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1113
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1114
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1115
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1116
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1119
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1120
(Alexander Belchenko)
1122
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1123
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1125
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1126
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1128
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1130
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1131
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1135
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1136
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1137
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1138
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1140
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1142
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1145
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1146
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1147
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1148
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1149
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1150
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1154
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1155
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1156
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1157
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1159
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1160
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1161
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1162
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1163
tests have been refactored too.
1166
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1167
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1168
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1172
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1173
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1174
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1176
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1177
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1178
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1179
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1180
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1181
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1182
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1184
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1185
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1186
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1187
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1188
(John Arbash Meinel)
1190
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1191
functionality for testing.
1193
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1195
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1196
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1198
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1200
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1203
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1204
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1206
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1207
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1208
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1210
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1213
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1214
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1216
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1217
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1218
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1219
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1221
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1222
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1224
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1225
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1226
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1228
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1231
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1232
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1233
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1234
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1235
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1236
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1238
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1239
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1240
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1241
many files. (Robert Collins)
1243
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1244
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1245
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1246
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1250
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1251
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1252
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1254
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1255
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1257
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1258
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1259
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1263
====================
1267
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1270
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1271
=======================
1275
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1276
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1278
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1279
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1280
(James Westby, #122656)
1282
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1283
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1285
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1286
authentication header.
1287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1289
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1291
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1292
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1294
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1296
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1299
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1300
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1303
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1304
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1305
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1307
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1308
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1310
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1311
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1313
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1314
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1316
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1318
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1322
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1323
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1324
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1325
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1326
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1327
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1329
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1330
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1331
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1333
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1336
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1337
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1339
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1340
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1342
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1343
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1345
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1346
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1347
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1348
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1349
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1351
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1352
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1354
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1355
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1356
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1358
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1359
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1361
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1363
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1364
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1366
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1367
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1370
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1373
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1374
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1376
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1377
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1379
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1380
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1382
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1384
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1385
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1387
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1392
* Testing cleanups -
1393
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1394
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1395
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1396
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1397
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1398
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1399
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1400
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1401
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1402
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1403
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1404
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1405
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1406
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1407
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1408
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1409
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1412
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1414
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1415
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1416
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1418
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1419
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1421
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1422
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1424
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1426
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1427
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1428
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1429
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1430
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1431
same location. (Robert Collins)
1435
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1437
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1439
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1441
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1444
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1447
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1448
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1449
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1451
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1453
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1454
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1455
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1457
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1458
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1460
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1461
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1462
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1464
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1465
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1466
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1468
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1469
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1470
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1472
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1473
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1476
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1477
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1479
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1480
(Alexander Belchenko)
1484
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1485
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1486
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1487
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1489
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1490
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1491
testing. (Robert Collins)
1493
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1494
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1496
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1497
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1498
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1499
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1500
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1501
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1502
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1504
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1505
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1506
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1507
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1509
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1510
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1512
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1513
avoid useless cloning.
1514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1518
====================
1522
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1523
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1525
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1526
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
1529
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1530
=======================
1532
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1534
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1535
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1536
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1537
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1538
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1539
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1540
and unlock() like so::
1542
work_tree.lock_read()
1544
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1549
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1550
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1552
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1553
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1554
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1556
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1557
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1558
too. (Robert Collins)
1562
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1563
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1566
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1567
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1569
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1570
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1572
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1573
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1574
understanding what changes have occurred
1575
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1577
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1578
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1579
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1581
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1582
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1583
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1584
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1586
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1591
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1592
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1593
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1594
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1595
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1597
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1598
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1599
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1601
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1604
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1608
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1609
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1611
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1612
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1614
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1615
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1617
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1618
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1620
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1621
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1623
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1624
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1625
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1628
====================
1632
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1633
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1634
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1635
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1636
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1638
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1639
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1640
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1642
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1643
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1647
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1648
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1649
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1651
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1652
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1653
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1654
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1656
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1657
=======================
1661
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1662
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1663
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1664
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1666
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1667
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1668
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1670
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1671
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1673
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1674
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1676
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1677
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1679
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1680
=======================
1682
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1684
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1685
it could be recovered again.
1686
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1687
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1688
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1690
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1692
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1693
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1697
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1698
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1700
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1701
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1702
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1703
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1705
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1706
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1708
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1709
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1710
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1712
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1713
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1714
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1716
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1717
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1718
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1720
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1721
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1724
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1727
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1728
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1729
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1730
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1732
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1735
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1736
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1737
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1740
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1741
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1743
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1744
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1746
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1747
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1748
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1749
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1752
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1753
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1755
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1756
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1758
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1759
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1760
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1762
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1763
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1764
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1766
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1767
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1768
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1770
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1771
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1772
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1773
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1775
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1776
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1777
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1778
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1780
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1781
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1782
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1783
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1784
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1785
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1786
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1787
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1793
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1794
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1796
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1797
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1798
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1799
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1800
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1802
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1803
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1805
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1806
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1808
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1809
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1811
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1812
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1814
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1815
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1816
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1819
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1820
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1821
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1822
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1823
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1826
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1827
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1828
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1830
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1831
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1834
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1835
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1836
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1839
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1840
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1841
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1842
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1843
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1845
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1846
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1847
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1848
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1850
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1851
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1853
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1854
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1855
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1856
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1857
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1858
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1860
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1861
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1863
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1864
help. (Robert Collins)
1866
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1867
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1869
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1870
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1871
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1872
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1873
(John Arbash Meinel)
1875
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1876
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1877
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1878
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1879
useful. (Robert Collins)
1881
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1886
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1887
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1889
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1890
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1892
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1893
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1894
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1896
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1899
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1900
the file, and does it faster.
1901
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1903
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1904
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1905
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1907
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1908
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1909
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1910
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1912
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1913
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1914
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1915
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1917
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1918
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1920
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1921
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1922
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1923
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1926
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1928
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1929
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1931
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1932
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1934
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1935
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1936
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1937
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1941
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1946
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1947
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1948
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1950
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1951
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1953
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1954
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1955
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1956
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1957
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1958
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1959
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1960
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1962
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1963
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1964
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1966
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1967
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1968
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1969
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1970
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1972
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1974
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1975
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1976
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1978
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1979
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1987
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1990
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1991
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1994
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1995
=======================
1999
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2000
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2005
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2006
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2007
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2008
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2009
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2010
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2011
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2012
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2017
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2018
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2019
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2021
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2022
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2025
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2026
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2027
(John Arbash Meinel)
2029
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2030
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2031
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2032
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2033
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2037
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2040
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2041
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2043
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2044
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2046
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2047
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2048
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2050
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2051
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2053
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2054
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2055
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2056
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2057
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2059
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2060
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2061
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2063
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2066
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2067
=======================
2069
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2071
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2072
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2073
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2077
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2078
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2080
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2081
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2083
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2085
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2086
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2088
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2089
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2093
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2098
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2099
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2100
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2101
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2103
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2104
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2106
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2107
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2109
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2112
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2113
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2116
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2117
=======================
2121
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2122
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2123
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2124
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2125
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2126
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2128
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2129
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2130
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2131
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2132
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2133
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2135
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2137
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2138
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2139
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2140
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2141
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2142
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2143
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2144
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2148
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2149
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2151
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2152
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2153
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2154
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2156
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2157
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2158
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2159
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2160
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2162
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2165
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2168
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2171
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2172
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2175
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2178
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2179
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2181
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2182
directory. (Martin Pool)
2184
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2185
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2186
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2187
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2189
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2190
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2191
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2192
in docs/configuration.txt.
2194
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2195
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2198
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2199
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2200
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2201
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2202
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2203
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2205
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2206
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2208
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2209
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2211
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2216
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2217
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2218
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2219
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2220
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2221
(John Arbash Meinel)
2223
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2224
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2227
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2228
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2229
(John Arbash Meinel)
2231
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2232
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2233
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2234
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2235
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2236
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2238
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2239
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2240
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2242
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2243
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2244
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2245
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2247
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2249
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2250
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2251
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2252
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2254
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2255
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2256
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2257
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2259
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2260
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2261
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2263
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2264
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2265
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2267
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2268
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2269
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2270
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2272
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2273
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2274
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2276
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2277
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2278
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2280
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2281
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2282
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2283
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2284
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2285
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2286
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2287
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2288
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2289
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2290
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2294
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2295
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2296
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2298
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2301
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2302
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2303
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2304
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2306
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2307
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2310
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2311
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2313
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2315
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2316
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2317
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2319
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2320
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2322
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2323
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2325
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2328
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2329
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2331
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2333
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2334
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2338
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2339
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2343
====================
2347
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2351
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2352
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2353
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2355
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2356
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2357
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2360
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2361
=======================
2365
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2366
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2367
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2368
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2370
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2373
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2374
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2375
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2377
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2378
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2380
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2383
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2384
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2385
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2386
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2387
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2388
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2390
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2391
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2392
should enable you to do::
2394
[/home/user/project]
2395
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2396
push_location:policy = appendpath
2398
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2399
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2402
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2403
for each file. For example::
2405
$ bzr status --short
2411
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2412
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2414
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2416
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2417
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2419
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2423
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2424
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2425
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2426
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2428
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2429
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2430
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2432
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2434
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2435
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2436
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2437
(Alexander Belchenko)
2439
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2442
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2443
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2445
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2449
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2450
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2452
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2453
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2454
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2455
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2456
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2458
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2459
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2461
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2462
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2464
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2466
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2468
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2469
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2470
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2471
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2472
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2474
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2475
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2476
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2477
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2479
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2480
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2482
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2483
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2485
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2486
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2488
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2489
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

====================
2495
No changes from 0.13rc1
2497
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2498
=======================
2502
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2504
(Daniel Silverstone)
2506
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2507
operations are substantially faster.
2508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2510
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2511
tree from some other url. For example:
2512
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2513
(Daniel Silverstone)
2515
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2516
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2517
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2518
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2520
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2523
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2524
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2525
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2526
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2527
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2528
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2532
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2533
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2536
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2537
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2538
(John Arbash Meinel)
2540
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2541
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2542
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2543
(John Arbash Meinel)
2545
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2546
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2548
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2549
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2551
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2552
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2557
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2558
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2559
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2561
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2562
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2563
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2564
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2566
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2568
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2569
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2571
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2572
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2573
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2576
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2577
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2578
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2580
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2581
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2582
them as full references rather than integers.
2583
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2585
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2586
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2588
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2590
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2591
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2593
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2594
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2596
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2597
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2598
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2599
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2601
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2602
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2603
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2605
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2606
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2608
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2609
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2610
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2611
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2612
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2616
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2617
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2620
====================
2624
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2625
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2626
(John Arbash Meinel)
2628
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2629
=======================
2633
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2634
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2635
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2636
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2638
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2639
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2641
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2643
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2644
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2645
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2646
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2648
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2649
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2650
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2651
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2652
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2654
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2656
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2657
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2661
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2662
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2663
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2665
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2666
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2667
(John Arbash Meinel)
2669
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2670
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2671
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2673
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2674
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2677
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2678
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2679
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2681
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2682
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2683
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2684
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2685
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2686
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2688
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2689
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2690
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2693
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2694
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2698
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2699
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2700
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2703
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2704
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2706
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2707
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2708
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2710
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2711
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2713
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2714
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2715
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2716
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2718
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2719
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2721
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2722
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2723
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2725
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2726
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2728
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2730
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2731
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2736
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2737
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2738
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2739
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2741
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2742
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2743
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2746
====================
2748
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2750
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2751
=======================
2755
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2757
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2760
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2761
=======================
2765
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2766
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2767
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2768
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2769
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2770
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2771
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2773
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2774
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2775
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2777
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2779
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2780
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2782
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2783
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2784
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2787
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2788
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2789
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2790
(John Arbash Meinel)
2792
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2793
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2794
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2795
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2798
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2799
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2800
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2801
(John Arbash Meinel)
2805
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2806
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2808
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2810
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2811
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2812
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2814
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2815
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2817
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2818
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2820
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2823
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2824
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2826
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2828
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2829
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2831
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2832
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2834
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2835
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2837
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2838
(John Arbash Meinel)
2840
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2841
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2842
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2844
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2845
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2847
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2848
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2849
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2850
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2852
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2853
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2854
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2856
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2857
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2861
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2865
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2866
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2867
(John Arbash Meinel)
2869
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2870
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2871
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2872
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2874
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2877
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2878
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2879
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2881
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2882
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2884
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2885
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2886
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2888
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2889
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2890
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2891
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2892
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2893
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2894
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2895
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2896
caller to repeat their request.
2897
(John Arbash Meinel)
2899
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2900
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2902
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2903
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2905
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2906
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2907
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2908
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2909
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2910
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2911
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2913
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2914
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2915
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2916
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2917
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2918
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2919
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2920
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2923
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2924
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2925
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2927
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2928
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2930
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2931
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2933
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2934
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2938
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2939
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2941
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2942
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2943
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2945
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2946
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2947
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2950
====================
2953
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2954
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2956
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2957
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2958
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2959
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2960
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2962
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2963
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2964
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2966
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2967
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2969
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2970
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2971
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2975
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2977
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2978
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2979
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2981
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2983
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2985
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2986
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2987
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2988
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2990
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2991
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2992
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2993
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2994
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2996
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2997
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2999
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3000
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3002
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3003
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3005
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3006
in handling of revision properties.
3007
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3009
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3010
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3014
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3015
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3016
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3017
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3018
(John Arbash Meinel)
3020
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3021
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3022
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3024
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3025
=====================
3029
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3030
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3031
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3032
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3033
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3034
a more conservative list than the old default.
3035
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3036
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3037
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3038
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3040
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3041
to more locations than just branch locations.
3046
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3047
revno:N:branch. For example,
3048
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3049
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3051
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3052
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3053
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3054
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3055
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3056
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3057
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3058
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3061
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3062
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3063
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3066
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3067
(Alexander Belchenko)
3069
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3071
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3074
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3075
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3076
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3077
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3078
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3079
(John Arbash Meinel)
3081
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3082
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3083
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3084
grained analysis of performance.
3085
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3087
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3088
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3090
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3091
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3092
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3093
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3094
file. (Robert Collins).
3096
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3097
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3098
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3100
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3101
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3104
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3105
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3107
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3108
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3109
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3110
the same way you would apply another branch.
3111
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3113
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3114
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3116
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3119
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3122
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3123
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3124
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3126
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3127
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3128
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3130
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3131
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3133
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3134
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3135
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3136
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3137
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3139
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3140
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3142
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3143
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3144
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3145
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3146
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3147
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3148
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3149
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3151
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3152
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3153
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3157
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3159
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3161
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3162
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3164
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3165
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3167
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3168
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3170
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3172
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3173
(John Arbash Meinel)
3175
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3176
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3178
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3179
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3182
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3183
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3185
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3186
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3188
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3189
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3190
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3191
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3193
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3194
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3196
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3198
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3199
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3201
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3203
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3205
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3206
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3208
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3209
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3211
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3212
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3213
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3215
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3216
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3217
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3219
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3220
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3222
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3223
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3225
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3226
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3228
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3229
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3231
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3232
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3234
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3235
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3236
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3238
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3240
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3241
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3245
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3246
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3247
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3249
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3250
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3252
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3253
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3254
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3256
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3257
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3259
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3260
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3263
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3264
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3265
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3267
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3268
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3269
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3271
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3272
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3273
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3275
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3276
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3277
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3279
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3280
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3281
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3283
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3284
instead. (Robert Collins)
3286
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3288
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3289
=====================
3293
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3295
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3296
=====================
3300
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3301
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3303
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3304
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3306
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3307
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3308
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3312
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3314
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3315
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3317
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3321
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3322
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3323
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3324
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3328
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3329
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3330
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3334
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3335
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3336
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3340
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3341
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3346
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3348
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3349
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3350
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3351
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3352
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3353
will keep the same format.
3355
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3356
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3357
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3358
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3359
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3361
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3362
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3363
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3364
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3365
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3366
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3367
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3369
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3370
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3371
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3372
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3373
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3375
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3376
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3377
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3383
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3384
convention. Paths now take the form::
3386
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3388
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3390
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3391
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3393
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3394
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3395
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3397
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3398
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3399
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3400
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3402
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3403
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3404
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3406
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3408
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3410
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3411
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3414
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3415
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3418
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3420
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3421
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3422
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3425
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3427
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3429
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3432
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3433
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3435
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3436
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3439
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3440
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3443
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3445
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3447
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3448
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3450
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3451
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3452
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3453
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3454
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3455
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3457
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3459
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3460
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3463
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3464
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3466
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3467
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3469
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3471
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3472
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3473
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3474
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3475
specification by Martin Pool.
3476
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3478
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3481
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3482
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3484
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3485
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3486
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3488
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3490
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3491
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3496
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3497
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3499
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3501
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3503
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3506
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3507
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3508
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3509
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3513
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3514
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3515
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3516
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3518
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3519
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3520
tried. (Martin Pool)
3522
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3525
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3527
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3528
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3529
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3531
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3532
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3534
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3535
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3536
paths. (Robert Collins)
3538
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3539
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3540
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3542
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3543
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3544
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3546
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3547
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3548
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3550
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3553
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3556
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3558
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3560
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3561
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3562
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3565
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3566
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3568
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3569
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3570
check. (Robert Collins)
3572
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3573
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3577
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3578
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3580
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3581
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3582
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3583
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3585
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3586
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3587
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3588
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3589
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3591
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3592
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3593
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3595
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3597
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3598
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3605
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3606
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3608
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3609
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3610
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3613
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3614
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3616
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3617
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3618
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3619
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3620
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3622
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3623
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3624
used. (Robert Collins)
3626
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3627
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3630
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3631
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3632
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3634
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3637
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3638
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3642
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3643
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3645
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3647
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3649
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3650
tree. (Robert Collins)
3652
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3653
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3654
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3657
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3660
* Tweaks to short log printing
3662
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3665
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3666
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3668
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3669
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3671
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3672
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3674
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3675
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3676
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3678
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3679
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3681
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3682
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3685
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3686
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3688
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3689
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3691
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3692
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3694
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3697
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3698
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3700
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3701
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3703
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3704
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3705
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3709
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3711
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3713
* Error when run with -OO
3715
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3718
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3720
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3722
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3723
ignored by diff and status
3725
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3726
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3728
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3730
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3732
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3733
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3735
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3736
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3738
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3741
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3742
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3744
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3746
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3747
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3749
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3752
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3753
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3755
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3759
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3760
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3762
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3764
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3766
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3768
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3769
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3770
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3772
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3774
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3775
(John Arbash Meinel)
3777
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3779
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3780
If adding a new test script please add that to
3781
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3783
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3784
imported. (Martin Pool)
3786
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3787
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3788
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3789
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3790
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3793
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3794
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3795
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3797
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3798
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3799
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3801
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3802
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3803
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3804
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3805
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3808
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3809
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3814
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3815
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3817
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3818
function. (Robert Collins)
3820
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3821
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3822
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3824
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3825
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3828
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3829
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3830
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3831
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3832
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3833
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3834
version. (Robert Collins)
3836
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3837
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3839
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3840
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3841
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3842
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3843
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3844
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3846
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3849
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3859
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3861
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3863
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3866
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3867
query method. (Robert Collins)
3869
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3872
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3875
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3878
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3879
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3880
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3881
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3883
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3884
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3885
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3886
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3888
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3889
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3896
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3899
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3903
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3904
a separator, not ':'.
3907
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3908
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3909
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3911
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3912
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3915
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3916
has been added that suppresses all output.
3918
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3921
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3922
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3924
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3925
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3927
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3928
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3930
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3931
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3932
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3933
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3935
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3937
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3938
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3940
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3941
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3943
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3944
output directory, if one was supplied.
3946
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3947
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3948
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3949
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3951
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3953
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3954
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3956
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3957
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3958
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3960
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3961
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3963
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3966
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3968
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3972
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3973
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3974
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3976
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3977
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3978
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3980
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3981
is given. (Martin Pool)
3983
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3984
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3985
file. (Robert Collins)
3987
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3992
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3993
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3994
representation. (Martin Pool).
3996
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3997
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3998
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4000
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4003
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4004
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4007
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4008
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4009
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4010
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4011
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4013
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4014
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4015
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4016
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4017
python path. (Robert Collins)
4019
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4020
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4021
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4022
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4024
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4025
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4027
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4028
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4031
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4032
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4033
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4035
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4036
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4037
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4039
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4040
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4042
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4043
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4044
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4047
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4048
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4049
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4050
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4053
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4056
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4057
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4060
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4061
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4062
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4064
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4065
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4066
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4068
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4069
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4070
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4072
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4073
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4075
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4076
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4077
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4078
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4079
caller. (Robert Collins)
4081
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4082
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4085
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4086
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4089
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4091
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4092
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4096
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4097
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4099
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4100
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4103
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4104
====================
4108
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4109
allow directories to be listed.
4111
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4112
upgrading branch format.
4116
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4124
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4125
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4126
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4127
high-latency connections.
4131
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4134
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4135
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4137
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4138
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4139
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4140
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4142
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4143
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4145
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4146
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4148
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4149
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4150
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4152
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4153
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4154
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4157
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4158
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4160
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4161
different partial views of history.
4163
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4164
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4168
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4169
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4170
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4172
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4173
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4176
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4177
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4179
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4182
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4183
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4185
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4186
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4187
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4188
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4190
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4192
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4193
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4196
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4197
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4199
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4200
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4201
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4206
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4207
for your viewing pleasure.
4209
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4210
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4212
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4213
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4214
handling of such circumstances.
4216
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4217
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4218
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4220
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4222
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4223
we call them revisions not patches.
4225
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4226
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4228
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4229
giving the revision *of that file*.
4231
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4232
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4233
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4237
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4238
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4240
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4241
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4244
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4245
====================
4249
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4251
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4254
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4256
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4258
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4259
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4263
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4264
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4266
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4267
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4268
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4269
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4272
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4273
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4277
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4279
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4280
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4283
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4284
====================
4288
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4289
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4290
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4291
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4294
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4297
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4298
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4299
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4300
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4301
for the operating system is still tried.
4303
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4304
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4305
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4310
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4314
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4316
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4319
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4325
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4327
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4330
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4331
====================
4335
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4336
help with intelligent shell completion.
4338
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4343
* Much better merge support.
4345
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4346
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4352
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4353
mention revisions that are not present.
4355
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4357
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4359
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4360
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4365
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4367
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4368
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4374
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4375
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4380
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4381
====================
4385
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4386
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4388
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4390
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4391
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4393
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4396
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4398
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4401
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4402
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4404
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4405
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4406
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4411
* Faster working tree operations.
4416
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4417
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4418
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4419
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4421
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4422
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4423
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4424
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4425
standard plugins directory.
4427
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4428
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4429
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4430
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4432
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4433
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4435
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4438
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4439
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4440
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4442
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4443
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4445
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4446
line options must come before the command name because they
4447
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4448
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4451
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4453
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4454
is available with ``--short``.
4459
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4462
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4463
=====================
4467
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4468
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4470
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4471
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4472
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4473
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4475
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4476
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4477
with the ``--forward`` option.
4479
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4480
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4486
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4487
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4489
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4491
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4492
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4494
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4496
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4497
either read or write mode.
4499
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4501
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4504
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4506
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4507
suggested by LarstiQ.
4509
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4510
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4512
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4515
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4516
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4518
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4519
haven't changed since the previous time.
4521
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4522
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4524
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4526
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4528
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4529
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4531
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4532
options through to an external GNU diff.
4534
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4537
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4543
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4544
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4546
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4552
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4553
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4556
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4557
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4559
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4560
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4562
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4563
under a different version.
4565
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4570
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4572
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4573
Scott James Remnant.
4575
* Better help messages for many commands.
4577
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4578
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4580
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4581
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4583
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4585
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4587
