FEATURES:
13
14
IMPROVEMENTS:
15
16
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
17
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
18
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
19
and Hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
20
21
BUGFIXES:
22
23
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
24
25
INTERNALS:

27
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.

CHANGES:
39
40
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
41
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
42
by mail to the mailing list.
43
(Martin Pool)
44
45
IMPROVEMENTS:
46
47
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
48
49
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
50
Nordhoff, #172612)
51
52
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
53
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
54
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
55
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
56
57
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
58
(Kent Gibson)
59
60
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
61
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
62
63
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
64
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
65
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
66
67
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
68
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
69
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
70
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
71
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
72
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
73
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
74
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
75
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
76
77
INTERNALS:
78
79
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
80
(Vincent Ladeuil)
81
82
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
83
84
BUGFIXES:
85
86
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
87
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
88
89
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
90
filename to user.
91
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
92
93
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
94
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
95
required.
96
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
97
98
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
99
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
100
101
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
102
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
103
104
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
105
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
106
107
API BREAKS:
108
109
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
110
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
111

114
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
115
=====================
116
117
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
118
119
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
120
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
121
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
122
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
123
124
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
125
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
126
127
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
128
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
129
130
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
131
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
132
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
133
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
134
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
135
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
136
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
137
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
138
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
139
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
140
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
141
from any tree without problems.
142
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
143
144
CHANGES:
145
146
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
147
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
148
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
149
150
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
151
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
152
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
153
(Martin Pool)
154
155
FEATURES:
156
157
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
158
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
159
supported transports.
160
(Vincent Ladeuil)
161
162
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
163
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
164
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
165
166
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
167
(Robert Collins, #154173)
168
169
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
170
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
171
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
172
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
173
174
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
175
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
176
177
PERFORMANCE:
178
179
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
180
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
181
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
182
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
183
184
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
185
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
186
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
187
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
188
189
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
190
(Robert Collins, #88319)
191
192
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
193
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
194
195
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
196
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
197
198
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
199
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
200
(Aaron Bentley)
201
202
IMPROVEMENTS:
203
204
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
205
(Aaron Bentley)
206
207
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
208
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
209
(Lukáš Lalinský)
210
211
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
212
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
213
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
214
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
215
216
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
217
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
218
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
219
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
220
221
DOCUMENTATION:
222
223
BUG FIXES:
224
225
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
226
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
227
228
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
229
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
230
231
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
232
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
233
234
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
236
237
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
238
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
239
240
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
241
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
242
243
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
245
246
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
247
(Aaron Bentley)
248
249
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
251
252
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
253
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
255
256
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
257
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
258
259
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
260
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
261
262
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
263
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
264
265
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
267
268
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
269
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
270
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
271
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
272
on them.
273
(Martin Pool, #164637)
274
275
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
276
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
278
279
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
280
(Robert Collins, #161240)
281
282
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
283
to be reconciled.
284
(Martin Pool, #164443)
285
286
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
287
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
288
289
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
290
specify a port in urls.
291
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
292
293
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
294
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
295
296
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
297
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
298
299
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
300
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
301
302
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
303
(Robert Collins, #153789)
304
305
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
306
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
307
(Robert Collins, #165304).
308
309
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
310
311
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
312
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
313
314
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
315
Watkins, #152811)
316
317
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
318
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
319
320
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
321
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
322
323
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
324
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
325
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
326
327
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
328
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
329
330
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
331
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
332
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
333
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
334
335
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
336
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
337
338
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
339
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
340
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
341
342
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
343
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
344
345
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
347
348
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
350
351
API BREAKS:
352
353
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
354
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
355
356
* The return value of
357
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
358
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
359
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
360
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
361
362
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
363
(Robert Collins)
364
365
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
366
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
367
format.
368
(Martin Pool)
369
370
INTERNALS:
371
372
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
373
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
374
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
375
Bennetts)
376
377
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
378
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
379
380
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
397
398
CHANGES:
399
400
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
401
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
402
403
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
404
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
405
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
406
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
407
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
408
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
409
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
410
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
411
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
412
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
413
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
414
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
415
(Robert Collins)
416
417
FEATURES:
418
419
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
420
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
421
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
422
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
423
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
424
for further details. (Robert Collins)
425
426
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
427
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
428
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
429
(Robert Collins)
430
431
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
432
433
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
434
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
435
436
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
437
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
438
(Aaron Bentley)
439
440
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
441
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
442
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
443
444
PERFORMANCE:
445
446
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
447
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
448
449
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
450
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
451
452
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
453
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
454
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
455
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
456
457
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
458
(Robert Collins)
459
460
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
461
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
462
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
463
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
464
465
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
466
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
467
468
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
469
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
470
471
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
472
the contents. (Robert Collins)
473
474
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
475
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
476
477
IMPROVEMENTS:
478
479
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
480
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
481
482
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
483
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
484
485
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
486
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
487
488
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
489
(Martin Pool, #63894)
490
491
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
492
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
493
494
DOCUMENTATION:
495
496
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
497
498
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
499
(Ian Clatworthy)
500
501
BUG FIXES:
502
503
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
504
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
505
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
506
507
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
508
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
509
510
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
511
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
512
513
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
514
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
515
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
516
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
517
518
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
519
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
520
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
521
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
522
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
523
524
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
525
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
526
paramiko.
527
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
528
529
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
530
531
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
532
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
533
534
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
536
537
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
538
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
539
540
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
541
contains a symbolic link.
542
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
543
544
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
545
(James Westby, #140615)
546
547
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
548
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
550
551
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
552
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
553
(Martin Pool, #144633)
554
555
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
556
557
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
559
560
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
561
will remain opened.
562
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
563
564
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
565
directory to detect leaking tests.
566
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
567
568
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
569
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
570
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
571
572
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
573
(Rob Weir, #141629)
574
575
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
576
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
577
578
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
579
Merwe)
580
581
API BREAKS:
582
583
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
584
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
585
586
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
587
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
588
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
589
590
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
591
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
592
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
593
594
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
595
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
596
597
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
598
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
599
600
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
601
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
602
(Martin Pool)
603
604
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
605
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
606
607
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
608
class that needs it.
609
(Martin Pool)
610
611
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
612
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
613
614
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
615
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
616
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
617
618
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
619
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
620
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
621
(Robert Collins)
622
623
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
624
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
625
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
626
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
627
(Robert Collins)
628
629
INTERNALS:
630
631
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
632
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
633
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
634
635
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
636
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
637
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
638
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
639
640
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
641
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
642
(Robert Collins)
643
644
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
645
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
646
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
647
648
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
649
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
650
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
651
652
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
653
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
654
655
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
656
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
657
to complete. (Robert Collins)
658
659
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
660
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
661
662
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
663
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
664
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
665
666
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
667
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
668
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
669
670
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
671
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
672
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
673
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
674
675
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
676
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
677
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
678
returned. (Robert Collins)
679
680
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
681
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
682
683
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
684
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
685
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
686
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
687
(Robert Collins)
688
689
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
690
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
691
692
TESTING:
693
694
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
695
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
696
697
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
698
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
699
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
700
makes this behavior available to other users.
701
(Martin Pool)
702
703
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
704
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
705
706
707
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
708
===================
709
710
BUG FIXES:
711
712
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
713
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
714
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
715
716
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
717
718
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
719
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
720
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
721
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
722
723
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
724
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
725
(Andrew Bennetts)
726
727
728
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
729
======================
730
731
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
732
in bzrlib/remote.py.
733
734
735
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
736
======================
737
738
CHANGES:
739
740
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
741
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
742
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
743
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
744
(Martin Pool)
745
746
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
747
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
748
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
749
(Ian Clatworthy)
750
751
FEATURES:
752
753
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
754
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
755
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
756
(Lukáš Lalinský)
757
758
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
759
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
760
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
761
762
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
763
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
764
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
765
766
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
767
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
768
769
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
770
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
771
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
772
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
773
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
774
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
775
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
776
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
777
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
778
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
779
780
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
781
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
782
783
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
784
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
785
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
786
787
BUG FIXES:
788
789
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
790
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
791
792
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
793
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
794
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
795
796
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
797
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
798
799
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
800
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
801
802
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
803
(Aaron Bentley)
804
805
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
806
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
807
808
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
809
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
810
811
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
812
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
813
814
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
815
(Blake Winton, #129299)
816
817
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
818
819
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
820
Watkins, #106726)
821
822
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
823
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
824
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
825
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
826
827
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
828
829
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
830
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
831
#133548)
832
833
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
834
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
835
836
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
837
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
838
#116143)
839
840
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
841
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
842
843
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
844
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
845
846
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
847
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
848
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
849
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
850
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
851
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
852
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
853
854
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
855
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
856
857
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
858
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
859
860
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
861
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
862
863
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
864
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
865
866
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
867
connections.
868
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
869
870
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
871
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
872
873
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
874
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
875
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
876
877
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
878
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
879
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
880
881
IMPROVEMENTS:
882
883
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
884
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
885
886
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
887
(Aaron Bentley)
888
889
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
890
(Aaron Bentley)
891
892
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
893
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
894
895
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
896
897
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
898
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
899
900
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
901
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
902
903
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
904
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
905
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
906
space). (Robert Collins)
907
908
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
909
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
910
(Ian Clatworthy)
911
912
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
913
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
914
915
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
916
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
917
918
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
919
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
920
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
921
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
922
923
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
924
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
925
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
926
(Lukáš Lalinský)
927
928
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
929
(Ian Clatworthy)
930
931
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
932
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
933
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
934
935
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
936
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
937
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
938
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
939
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
940
941
API BREAKS:
942
943
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
944
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
945
946
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
947
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
948
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
949
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
950
affected. (Robert Collins)
951
952
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
953
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
954
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
955
(Robert Collins)
956
957
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
958
previous release. (Martin Pool)
959
960
TESTING:
961
962
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
963
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
964
965
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
966
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
967
968
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
969
previous release. (Martin Pool)
970
971
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
972
(Aaron Bentley)
973
974
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
975
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
976
977
INTERNALS:
978
979
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
980
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
981
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
982
its version information. (Robert Collins)
983
984
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
985
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
986
987
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
988
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
989
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
990
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
991
992
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
993
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
994
present. (Robert Collins)
995
996
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
997
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
998
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
999
API. (Robert Collins)
1000
1001
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1002
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1003
(Robert Collins)
1004
1005
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1006
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1007
1008
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1009
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1010
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1011
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1012
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1013
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1014
1015
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1016
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1017
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1018
1019
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1020
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1021
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1022
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1023
protocol.
1024
1025
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1026
(Aaron Bentley)
1027
1028
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1029
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1030
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1031
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1032
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1033
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1034
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1035
1036
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1037
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1038
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1039
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1040
1041
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1042
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1043
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1044
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1045
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1046
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1047
1048
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1049
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1050
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
1052
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1053
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

===================
1058
1059
IMPROVEMENTS:
1060
1061
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1062
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1063
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1064
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1065
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1066
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1067
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1071
API CHANGES:
1072
1073
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1074
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1075
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1076

1079
======================
1080
1081
BUGFIXES:
1082
1083
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1084
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1085
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1086
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1087
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1088
1089
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1091
1092
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1093
anymore.
1094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1095
1096
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1097
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1098
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1099
1100
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1101
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1102
#111664)
1103
1104
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1105
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1106
1107
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1108
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1109
1110
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1111
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1112
1113
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1114
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1115
1116
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1117
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1118
1119
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1120
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1121
1122
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1123
(Aaron Bentley)
1124
1125
IMPROVEMENTS:
1126
1127
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1128
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1129
1130
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1131
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1132
1133
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1134
the repository (Robert Collins)
1135
1136
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1137
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1138
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1139
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1140
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1141
1142
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1143
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1144
1145
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1146
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1147
(John Arbash Meinel)
1148
1149
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1150
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1151
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1152
about 10%).
1153
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1154
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1155
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1156
(John Arbash Meinel)
1157
1158
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1159
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1160
(Robert Collins)
1161
1162
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1163
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1164
1165
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1166
(Ian Clatworthy)
1167
1168
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1169
1170
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1171
1172
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1173
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1174
1175
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1176
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1177
Meinel)
1178
1179
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1180
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1181
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1182
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1183
1184
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1185
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1186
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1187
1188
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1189
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1190
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1191
1192
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1193
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1194
1195
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1196
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1197
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1198
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1199
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1200
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1201
(Ian Clatworthy)
1202
1203
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1204
(Alexander Belchenko)
1205
1206
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1207
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1208
1209
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1210
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1211
1212
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1213
1214
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1215
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1216
1217
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1218
1219
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1220
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1221
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1222
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1223
1224
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1225
1226
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1227
(Robert Collins)
1228
1229
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1230
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1231
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1232
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1233
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1234
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1235
1236
INTERNALS:
1237
1238
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1239
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1240
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1241
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1242
1243
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1244
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1245
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1246
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1247
tests have been refactored too.
1248
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1249
1250
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1251
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1252
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1253
list, it will.
1254
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1255
1256
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1257
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1258
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1259
1260
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1261
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1262
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1263
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1264
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1265
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1266
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1267
1268
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1269
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1270
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1271
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1272
(John Arbash Meinel)
1273
1274
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1275
functionality for testing.
1276
1277
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1278
1279
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1280
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1281
1282
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1283
1284
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1285
(Robert Collins)
1286
1287
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1288
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1289
1290
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1291
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1292
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1293
1294
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1295
(Aaron Bentley)
1296
1297
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1298
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1299
1300
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1301
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1302
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1303
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1304
1305
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1306
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1307
1308
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1309
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1310
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1311
1312
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1313
(Marius Kruger)
1314
1315
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1316
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1317
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1318
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1319
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1320
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1321
1322
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1323
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1324
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1325
many files. (Robert Collins)
1326
1327
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1328
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1329
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1330
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
TESTING:
1333
1334
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1335
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1336
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1337
1338
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1339
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1340
1341
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1342
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1343
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1403
1404
IMPROVEMENTS:
1405
1406
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1407
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1408
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1409
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1410
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1411
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1412
1413
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1414
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1415
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1416
1417
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1418
(Elliot Murphy)
1419
1420
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1421
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1422
1423
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1424
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1425
1426
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1427
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1428
1429
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1430
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1431
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1432
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1433
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1434
1435
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1436
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1437
1438
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1439
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1440
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1441
1442
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1443
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1444
1445
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1446
1447
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1448
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1449
1450
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1451
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1452
(Robert Collins)
1453
1454
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1455
(Martin Pool)
1456
1457
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1458
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1459
1460
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1461
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1462
1463
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1464
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1465
1466
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1467
1468
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1469
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1470
1471
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1472
(Andrew Bennetts)
1473
1474
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1475
1476
* Testing cleanups -
1477
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1478
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1479
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1480
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1481
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1482
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1483
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1484
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1485
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1486
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1487
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1488
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1489
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1490
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1491
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1492
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1493
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1494
(Robert Collins)
1495
1496
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1497
1498
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1499
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1500
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1501
1502
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1503
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1504
1505
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1506
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1507
1508
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1509
1510
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1511
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1512
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1513
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1514
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1515
same location. (Robert Collins)
1516
1517
INTERNALS:
1518
1519
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1520
1521
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1522
1523
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1524
1525
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1526
(Martin Pool)
1527
1528
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1529
(Martin Pool)
1530
1531
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1532
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1533
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1534
1535
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1536
1537
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1538
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1539
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1540
1541
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1542
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1543
1544
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1545
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1546
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1547
1548
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1549
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1550
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1551
1552
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1553
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1554
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1555
1556
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1557
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1558
Martin Pool)
1559
1560
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1561
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1562
1563
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1564
(Alexander Belchenko)
1565
1566
TESTING:
1567
1568
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1569
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1570
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1571
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1572
1573
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1574
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1575
testing. (Robert Collins)
1576
1577
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1578
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1579
1580
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1581
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1582
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1583
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1584
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1585
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1586
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1587
1588
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1589
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1590
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1591
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1592
1593
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1594
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1595
1596
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1597
avoid useless cloning.

=======================

1616
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1617
1618
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1619
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1620
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1621
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1622
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1623
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1624
and unlock() like so::
1625
1626
work_tree.lock_read()
1627
try:
1628
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1629
finally:
1630
work_tree.unlock()
1631
1632
INTERNALS:
1633
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1634
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1635
object.
1636
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1637
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1638
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1639
1640
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1641
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1642
too. (Robert Collins)
1643
1644
IMPROVEMENTS:
1645
1646
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1647
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1648
Aaron Bentley)
1649
1650
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1651
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1652
1653
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1654
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1655
1656
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1657
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1658
understanding what changes have occurred
1659
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1660
1661
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1662
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1663
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1664
1665
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1666
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1667
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1668
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1669
1670
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1671
#56322)
1672
1673
BUGFIXES:
1674
1675
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1676
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1677
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1678
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1679
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1680
1681
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1682
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1683
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1684
1685
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1687
1688
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1689
into account.
1690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1691
1692
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1693
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1694
1695
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1696
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1697
1698
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1699
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1700
1701
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1702
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1703
1704
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1705
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1706
1707
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1708
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1709
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1712
====================
1713
1714
BUGFIXES:
1715
1716
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1717
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1718
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1719
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1720
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1721
1722
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1723
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1724
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1725
1726
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1727
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1728
1729
IMPROVEMENTS:
1730
1731
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1732
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1733
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1734
1735
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1736
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1737
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1738
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1741
=======================
1742
1743
BUGFIXES:
1744
1745
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1746
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1747
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1748
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1749
1750
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1751
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1752
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1753
1754
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1755
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1756
1757
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1758
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1759
1760
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1761
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1764
=======================
1765
1766
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1767
1768
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1769
it could be recovered again.
1770
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1771
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1772
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1773
but not delete it.
1774
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1775
files.
1776
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

IMPROVEMENTS:

1781
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1782
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1783
1784
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1785
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1786
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1787
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1788
1789
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1790
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1791
1792
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1793
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1794
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1795
1796
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1797
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1798
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1799
1800
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1801
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1802
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1803
1804
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1805
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1806
Robert Collins)
1807
1808
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1809
Pool)
1810
1811
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1812
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1813
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1814
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1815
1816
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1817
(Robert Collins)
1818
1819
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1820
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1821
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1822
(Robert Collins)
1823
1824
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1825
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1826
1827
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1828
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1829
1830
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1831
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1832
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1833
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1834
(Robert Collins)
1835
1836
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1837
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1838
1839
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1840
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1841
1842
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1843
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1844
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1845
1846
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1847
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1848
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1849
1850
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1851
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1852
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1853
1854
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1855
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1856
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1857
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1858
1859
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1860
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1861
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1862
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1863
1864
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1865
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1866
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1867
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1868
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1869
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1870
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1871
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1872
header(s).
1873
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1874
1875
INTERNALS:
1876
1877
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1878
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1879
1880
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1881
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1882
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1883
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1884
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1885
1886
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1887
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1888
1889
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1890
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1891
1892
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1893
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1894
1895
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1896
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1897
1898
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1899
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1900
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1901
(Robert Collins).
1902
1903
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1904
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1905
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1906
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1907
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1908
(Robert Collins)
1909
1910
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1911
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1912
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1913
1914
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1915
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1916
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1917
1918
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1919
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1920
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1921
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1922
1923
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1924
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1925
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1926
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1927
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1928
1929
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1930
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1931
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1932
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1933
1934
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1935
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1936
1937
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1938
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1939
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1940
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1941
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1942
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1943
1944
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1945
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1946
1947
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1948
help. (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1951
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1952
1953
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1954
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1955
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1956
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1957
(John Arbash Meinel)
1958
1959
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1960
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1961
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1962
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1963
useful. (Robert Collins)
1964
1965
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1966
(Andrew Bennetts)

BUGFIXES:

1970
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1971
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1972
1973
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1974
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1975
1976
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1977
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1978
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1979
1980
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1981
(Aaron Bentley)
1982
1983
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1984
the file, and does it faster.
1985
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1986
1987
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1988
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1989
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1990
1991
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1992
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1993
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1994
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1995
1996
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1997
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1998
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1999
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2000
2001
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2002
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2003
2004
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2005
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2006
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2007
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2008
Arbash Meinel)
2009
2010
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2011
2012
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2013
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2014
2015
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2016
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2017
2018
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2019
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2020
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2021
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2022
security hole.
2023
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2024
2025
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2026
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2027
2028
TESTING:
2029
2030
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2031
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2032
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2033
2034
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2035
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2036
2037
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2038
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2039
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2040
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2041
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2042
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2043
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2044
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2045
2046
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2047
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2048
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2049
2050
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2051
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2052
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2053
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2054
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2055
access.
2056
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2057
2058
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2059
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2060
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2061
2062
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2063
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
2082
2083
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2084
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2085
(Martin Pool)
2086
2087
IMPROVEMENTS:
2088
2089
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2090
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2091
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2092
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2093
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2094
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2095
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2096
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2097
path. (vila)
2098
2099
INTERNALS:
2100
2101
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2102
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2103
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2104
2105
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2106
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2107
(Martin Pool)
2108
2109
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2110
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2111
(John Arbash Meinel)
2112
2113
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2114
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2115
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2116
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2117
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2118
2119
BUGFIXES:
2120
2121
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2122
(vila, #92195)
2123
2124
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2125
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2126
2127
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2128
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2129
2130
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2131
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2132
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2133
2134
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2135
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2136
2137
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2138
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2139
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2140
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2141
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2142
2143
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2144
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2145
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2146
2147
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2151
=======================
2152
2153
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2154
2155
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2156
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2157
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2158
2159
IMPROVEMENTS:
2160
2161
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2162
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2163
2164
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2165
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2166
2167
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2168
2169
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2170
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2171
2172
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2173
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2174
2175
INTERNALS:
2176
2177
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2178
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2179
2180
BUGFIXES:
2181
2182
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2183
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2184
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2185
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2186
2187
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2188
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2189
2190
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2191
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2192
2193
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2194
(Marien Zwart)
2195
2196
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2201
=======================
2202
2203
SURPRISES:
2204
2205
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2206
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2207
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2208
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2209
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2210
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2211
2212
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2213
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2214
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2215
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2216
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2217
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2218
development.
2219
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2220
2221
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2222
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2223
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2224
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2225
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2226
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2227
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2228
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2229
2230
IMPROVEMENTS:
2231
2232
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2233
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2234
2235
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2236
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2237
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2238
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2239
does exist.
2240
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2241
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2242
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2243
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2244
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2245
2246
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2247
(Aaron Bentley)
2248
2249
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2250
(Aaron Bentley)
2251
2252
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2253
(Robert Collins)
2254
2255
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2256
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2257
(Aaron Bentley)
2258
2259
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2260
(Aaron Bentley)
2261
2262
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2263
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2264
2265
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2266
directory. (Martin Pool)
2267
2268
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2269
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2270
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2271
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2272
2273
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2274
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2275
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2276
in docs/configuration.txt.
2277
2278
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2279
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2280
bind location.
2281
2282
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2283
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2284
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2285
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2286
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2287
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2288
2289
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2290
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2291
2292
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2293
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2294
2295
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2296
(Aaron Bentley)
2297
2298
INTERNALS:
2299
2300
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2301
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2302
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2303
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2304
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2305
(John Arbash Meinel)
2306
2307
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2308
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2309
(Aaron Bentley)
2310
2311
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2312
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2313
(John Arbash Meinel)
2314
2315
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2316
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2317
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2318
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2319
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2320
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2321
2322
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2323
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2324
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2325
2326
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2327
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2328
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2329
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2330
repository.
2331
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2332
2333
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2334
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2335
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2336
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2339
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2340
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2341
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2342
2343
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2344
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2345
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2348
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2349
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2350
2351
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2352
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2353
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2354
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2355
2356
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2357
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2358
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2359
2360
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2361
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2362
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2363
2364
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2365
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2366
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2367
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2368
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2369
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2370
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2371
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2372
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2373

2374
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2375
2376
BUGFIXES:
2377
2378
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2379
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2380
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2381
2382
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2383
(Aaron Bentley)
2384
2385
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2386
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2387
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2388
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2389
2390
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2391
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2392
#83954).
2393
2394
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2395
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2396
2397
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2398
2399
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2400
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2401
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2402
2403
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2404
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2405
2406
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2407
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2408
2409
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2411
2412
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2413
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2414
2415
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2416
2417
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2418
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2419
2420
TESTING:
2421
2422
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

====================
2428
2429
IMPROVEMENTS:
2430
2431
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2432
2433
BUG FIXES:
2434
2435
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2436
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2437
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2438
2439
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2440
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2441
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2443
2444
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2445
=======================
2446
2447
IMPROVEMENTS:
2448
2449
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2450
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2451
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2452
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2453
2454
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2455
(Marius Kruger)
2456
2457
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2458
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2459
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2460
2461
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2462
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2463
2464
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2465
(Aaron Bentley)
2466
2467
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2468
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2469
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2470
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2471
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2472
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2473
2474
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2475
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2476
should enable you to do::
2477
2478
[/home/user/project]
2479
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2480
push_location:policy = appendpath
2481
2482
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2483
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2484
(James Henstridge)
2485
2486
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2487
for each file. For example::
2488
2489
$ bzr status --short
2490
A foo
2491
A bar
2492
D baz
2493
? wooley
2494
2495
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2496
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2497
2498
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2499
2500
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2501
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2502
2503
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2504
2505
INTERNALS:
2506
2507
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2508
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2509
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2510
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2511
2512
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2513
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2514
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2515
2516
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2517
2518
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2519
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2520
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2521
(Alexander Belchenko)
2522
2523
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2524
Pool)
2525
2526
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2527
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2528
2529
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2530
2531
BUG FIXES:
2532
2533
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2534
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2535
2536
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2537
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2538
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2539
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2540
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2541
2542
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2543
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2544
2545
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2546
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2547
2548
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2549
matcher.
2550
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2551
2552
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2553
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2554
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2555
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2556
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2557
2558
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2559
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2560
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2561
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2562
2563
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2564
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2565
2566
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2567
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2568
2569
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2570
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2571
2572
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2585
2586
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2587
tree from a branch.
2588
(Daniel Silverstone)
2589
2590
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2591
operations are substantially faster.
2592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2593
2594
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2595
tree from some other url. For example:
2596
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2597
(Daniel Silverstone)
2598
2599
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2600
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2601
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2602
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2603
2604
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2605
(Andrew Bennetts)
2606
2607
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2608
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2609
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2610
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2611
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2612
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2613
2614
INTERNALS:
2615
2616
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2617
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2618
(Martin Pool)
2619
2620
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2621
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2622
(John Arbash Meinel)
2623
2624
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2625
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2626
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2627
(John Arbash Meinel)
2628
2629
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2630
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2631
2632
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2633
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2634
2635
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2636
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2637
Bennetts)
2638
2639
BUG FIXES:
2640
2641
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2642
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2643
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2644
2645
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2646
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2647
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2648
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2649
2650
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2651
2652
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2653
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2654
2655
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2656
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2657
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2659
2660
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2661
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2662
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2663
2664
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2665
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2666
them as full references rather than integers.
2667
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2668
2669
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2670
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2671
2672
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2673
2674
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2675
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2676
2677
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2678
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2679
2680
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2681
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2682
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2683
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2684
2685
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2686
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2687
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2688
2689
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2690
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2691
2692
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2693
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2694
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2695
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2696
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2697
2698
TESTING:
2699
2700
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2701
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2713
=======================

2715
IMPROVEMENTS:
2716
2717
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2718
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2719
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2720
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2721
2722
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2723
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2724
2725
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2726
2727
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2728
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2729
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2730
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2731
2732
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2733
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2734
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2735
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2736
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2737
2738
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2739
2740
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2741
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2742
2743
INTERNALS:
2744
2745
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2746
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2747
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2748
2749
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2750
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2751
(John Arbash Meinel)
2752
2753
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2754
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2755
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2756
2757
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2758
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2759
(Aaron Bentley)
2760
2761
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2762
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2763
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2764
2765
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2766
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2767
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2768
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2769
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2770
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2771
2772
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2773
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2774
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2775
(Robert Collins)
2776
2777
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2778
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2779
2780
BUG FIXES:
2781
2782
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2783
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2784
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2785
#63360, #66349)
2786
2787
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2788
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2789
2790
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2791
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2792
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2793
2794
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2795
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2796
2797
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2798
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2799
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2800
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2801
2802
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2803
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2804
2805
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2806
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2807
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2808
2809
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2810
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2811
2812
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2813
2814
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2815
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2816
#32054)
2817
2818
TESTING:
2819
2820
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2821
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2822
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2823
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2824
2825
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2826
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2827
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2828
2829
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
2830
====================
2831
2832
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2833
2834
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2835
=======================
2836
2837
BUG FIXES:
2838
2839
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2840
2841
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2842
Arbash Meinel).
2843
2844
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2845
=======================
2846
2847
IMPROVEMENTS:
2848
2849
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2850
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2851
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2852
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2853
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2854
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2855
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2856
2857
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2858
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2859
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2860
2861
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2862
2863
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2864
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2865
2866
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2867
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2868
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2869
(Robert Collins)
2870
2871
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2872
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2873
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2874
(John Arbash Meinel)
2875
2876
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2877
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2878
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2879
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2880
Pool)
2881
2882
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2883
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2884
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2885
(John Arbash Meinel)
2886
2887
BUG FIXES:
2888
2889
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2890
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2891
2892
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2893
2894
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2895
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2896
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2897
2898
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2899
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2900
2901
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2902
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2903
2904
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2905
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2906
2907
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2908
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2909
2910
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2911
2912
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2913
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2914
2915
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2916
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2917
2918
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2919
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2920
2921
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2922
(John Arbash Meinel)
2923
2924
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2925
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2926
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2927
2928
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2929
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2930
2931
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2932
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2933
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2934
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2935
2936
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2937
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2938
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2939
2940
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2941
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2942
2943
PORTABILITY:
2944
2945
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2946
2947
INTERNALS:
2948
2949
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2950
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2951
(John Arbash Meinel)
2952
2953
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2954
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2955
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2956
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2957
2958
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2959
(Andrew Bennetts)
2960
2961
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2962
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2963
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2964
2965
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2966
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2967
2968
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2969
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2970
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2971
2972
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2973
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2974
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2975
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2976
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2977
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2978
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2979
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2980
caller to repeat their request.
2981
(John Arbash Meinel)
2982
2983
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2984
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2985
2986
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2987
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2988
2989
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2990
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2991
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2992
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2993
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2994
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2995
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2996
2997
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2998
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2999
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3000
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3001
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3002
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3003
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3004
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3005
(Robert Collins)
3006
3007
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3008
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3009
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3010
3011
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3012
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3013
3014
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3015
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3016
3017
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3018
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3019
3020
TESTING:
3021
3022
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3023
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3024
3025
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3026
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3027
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3028
3029
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3030
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3031
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3032
3033
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3034
====================
3035
3036
IMPROVEMENTS:
3037
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3038
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3039
3040
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3041
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3042
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3043
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3044
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3045
3046
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3047
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3048
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3049
3050
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3051
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3052
3053
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3054
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3055
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3056
3057
BUG FIXES:
3058
3059
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3060
3061
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3062
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3063
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3064
3065
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3066
3067
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3068
3069
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3070
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3071
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3072
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3073
3074
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3075
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3076
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3077
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3078
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3079
3080
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3081
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3082
3083
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3084
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3085
3086
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3087
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3088
3089
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3090
in handling of revision properties.
3091
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3092
3093
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3094
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3095
3096
INTERNALS:
3097
3098
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3099
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3100
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3101
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3102
(John Arbash Meinel)
3103
3104
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3105
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3106
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3107
3108
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3109
=====================
3110
3111
SURPRISES:
3112
3113
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3114
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3115
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3116
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3117
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3118
a more conservative list than the old default.
3119
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3120
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3121
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3122
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3123
3124
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3125
to more locations than just branch locations.
3126
(Aaron Bentley)
3127
3128
IMPROVEMENTS:
3129
3130
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3131
revno:N:branch. For example,
3132
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3133
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3134
3135
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3136
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3137
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3138
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3139
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3140
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3141
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3142
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3143
#42517, #42514)
3144
3145
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3146
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3147
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3148
(Malone #3507)
3149
3150
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3151
(Alexander Belchenko)
3152
3153
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3154
3155
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3156
(Robert Collins).
3157
3158
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3159
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3160
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3161
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3162
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3163
(John Arbash Meinel)
3164
3165
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3166
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3167
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3168
grained analysis of performance.
3169
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3170
3171
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3172
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3173
3174
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3175
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3176
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3177
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3178
file. (Robert Collins).
3179
3180
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3181
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3182
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3183
3184
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3185
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3186
Matthieu Moy)
3187
3188
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3189
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3190
3191
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3192
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3193
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3194
the same way you would apply another branch.
3195
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3196
3197
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3198
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3199
3200
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3201
(Michael Ellerman)
3202
3203
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3204
(Aaron Bentley)
3205
3206
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3207
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3208
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3209
3210
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3211
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3212
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3213
3214
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3215
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3216
3217
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3218
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3219
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3220
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3221
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3222
3223
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3224
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3225
3226
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3227
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3228
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3229
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3230
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3231
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3232
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3233
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3234
3235
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3236
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3237
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3238
3239
BUG FIXES:
3240
3241
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3242
tests not to run.
3243
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3244
3245
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3246
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3247
3248
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3249
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3250
3251
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3252
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3253
3254
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3255
3256
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3257
(John Arbash Meinel)
3258
3259
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3260
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3261
3262
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3263
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3264
and y.
3265
3266
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3267
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3268
3269
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3270
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3271
3272
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3273
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3274
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3275
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3276
3277
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3278
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3279
3280
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3281
3282
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3283
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3284
3285
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3286
3287
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3288
3289
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3290
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3291
3292
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3293
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3294
3295
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3296
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3297
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3298
3299
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3300
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3301
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3302
3303
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3304
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3305
3306
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3307
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3308
3309
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3310
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3311
3312
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3313
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3314
3315
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3316
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3317
3318
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3319
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3320
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3321
3322
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3323
3324
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3325
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3326
3327
INTERNALS:
3328
3329
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3330
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3331
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3332
3333
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3334
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3335
3336
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3337
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3338
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3339
3340
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3341
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3342
3343
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3344
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3345
(Martin Pool)
3346
3347
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3348
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3349
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3352
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3353
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3356
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3357
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3358
3359
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3360
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3361
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3362
3363
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3364
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3365
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3366
3367
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3368
instead. (Robert Collins)
3369
3370
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3385
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3386
3387
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3388
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3389
3390
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3391
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
3404
3405
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3406

3408
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3409
3410
NEW FEATURES:
3411
3412
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

3427
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3428
===================
3429
3430
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3431
3432
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3433
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3434
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3435
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3436
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3437
will keep the same format.
3438
3439
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3440
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3441
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3442
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3443
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3444
3445
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3446
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3447
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3448
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3449
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3450
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3451
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3452
3453
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3454
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3455
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3456
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3457
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3458
3459
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3460
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3461
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3462
arrangement.
3463
3464
3465
IMPROVEMENTS:
3466
3467
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3468
convention. Paths now take the form::
3469
3470
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3471
or
3472
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3473
3474
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3475
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3476
3477
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3478
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3479
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3480
3481
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3482
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3483
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3484
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3485
3486
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3487
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3488
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3489
3490
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3491
3492
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3493
3494
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3495
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3496
commits::
3497
3498
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3499
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3500
| xargs bzr re-sign
3501
3502
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3503
3504
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3505
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3506
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3507
(Robert Collins)
3508
3509
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3510
3511
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3512
3513
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3514
'.moved'.
3515
3516
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3517
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3518
3519
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3520
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3521
Daniel Silverstone)
3522
3523
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3524
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3525
Martin Pool)
3526
3527
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3528
3529
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3530
3531
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3532
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3533
3534
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3535
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3536
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3537
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3538
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3539
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3540
3541
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3542
3543
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3544
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3545
(Robert Collins)
3546
3547
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3548
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3549
3550
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3551
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3552
3553
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3554
3555
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3556
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3557
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3558
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3559
specification by Martin Pool.
3560
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3561
3562
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3563
Belchenko)
3564
3565
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3566
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3567
3568
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3569
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3570
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3571
3572
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3573
3574
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3575
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3576
(Robert Collins)
3577
3578
CHANGES:
3579
3580
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3581
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3582
3583
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3584
3585
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3586
3587
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3588
(Olaf Conradi)
3589
3590
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3591
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3592
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3593
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3594
3595
INTERNALS:
3596
3597
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3598
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3599
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3600
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3601
3602
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3603
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3604
tried. (Martin Pool)
3605
3606
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3607
(Martin Pool)
3608
3609
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3610
3611
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3612
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3613
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3614
3615
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3616
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3617
3618
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3619
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3620
paths. (Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3623
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3624
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3625
3626
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3627
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3628
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3629
3630
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3631
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3632
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3633
3634
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3635
(Olaf Conradi)
3636
3637
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3638
(Olaf Conradi)
3639
3640
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3641
3642
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3643
3644
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3645
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3646
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3647
(Robert Collins)
3648
3649
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3650
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3651
3652
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3653
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3654
check. (Robert Collins)
3655
3656
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3657
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3658
3659
TESTING:
3660
3661
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3662
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3663
3664
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3665
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3666
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3667
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3668
3669
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3670
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3671
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3672
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3673
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3674
3675
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3676
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3677
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3678
3679
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3680
3681
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3682
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3685
==================
3686
3687
CHANGES:
3688
3689
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3690
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3691
3692
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3693
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3694
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3695
(Johan Rydberg)
3696
3697
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3698
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3699
3700
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3701
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3702
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3703
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3704
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3705
3706
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3707
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3708
used. (Robert Collins)
3709
3710
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3711
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3712
(James Henstridge)
3713
3714
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3715
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3716
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3717
3718
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3719
ignore list.
3720
3721
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3722
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3723
3724
IMPROVEMENTS:
3725
3726
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3727
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3728
3729
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3730
3731
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3732
3733
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3734
tree. (Robert Collins)
3735
3736
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3737
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3738
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3739
(Robert Collins)
3740
3741
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3742
that they be kept.
3743
3744
* Tweaks to short log printing
3745
3746
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3747
(Aaron Bentley)
3748
3749
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3750
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3751
3752
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3753
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3754
3755
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3756
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3757
3758
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3759
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3760
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3761
3762
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3763
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3764
3765
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3766
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3767
requests.
3768
3769
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3770
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3771
3772
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3773
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3774
3775
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3776
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3777
3778
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3779
(Denys Duchier)
3780
3781
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3782
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3783
3784
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3785
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3786
3787
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3788
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3789
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3790
3791
BUG FIXES:
3792
3793
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3794
3795
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3796
3797
* Error when run with -OO
3798
3799
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3800
(Martin Pool)
3801
3802
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3803
3804
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3805
3806
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3807
ignored by diff and status
3808
3809
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3810
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3811
3812
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3813
3814
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3815
3816
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3817
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3818
3819
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3820
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3821
3822
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3823
(Harald Meland)
3824
3825
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3826
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3827
3828
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3829
3830
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3831
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3832
3833
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3834
(Martin Pool)
3835
3836
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3837
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3838
3839
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3840
3841
TESTING:
3842
3843
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3844
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3845
3846
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3847
3848
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3849
3850
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3851
3852
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3853
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3854
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3855
3856
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3857
3858
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3859
(John Arbash Meinel)
3860
3861
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3862
3863
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3864
If adding a new test script please add that to
3865
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3866
3867
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3868
imported. (Martin Pool)
3869
3870
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3871
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3872
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3873
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3874
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3875
(Robert Collins)
3876
3877
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3878
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3879
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3880
3881
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3882
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3883
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3884
3885
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3886
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3887
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3888
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3889
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3890
(Robert Collins).
3891
3892
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3893
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3894
(Robert Collins).
3895
3896
INTERNALS:
3897
3898
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3899
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3900
3901
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3902
function. (Robert Collins)
3903
3904
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3905
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3906
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3907
3908
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3909
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3910
(Robert Collins)
3911
3912
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3913
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3914
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3915
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3916
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3917
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3918
version. (Robert Collins)
3919
3920
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3921
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3922
3923
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3924
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3925
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3926
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3927
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3928
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3929
3930
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3931
(Robert Collins)
3932
3933
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3934
3935
add()
3936
commit()
3937
move()
3938
rename_one()
3939
unknowns()
3940
3941
(Robert Collins)
3942
3943
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3944
3945
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3946
3947
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3948
Pool)
3949
3950
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3951
query method. (Robert Collins)
3952
3953
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3954
(Denys Duchier)
3955
3956
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3957
(Michael Ellerman)
3958
3959
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3960
(Michael Ellerman)
3961
3962
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3963
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3964
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3965
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3966
3967
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3968
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3969
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3970
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3971
3972
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3973
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3974
3975
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3976
==================
3977
3978
IMPROVEMENTS:
3979
3980
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3981
(John A Meinel)
3982
3983
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3984
conflicts.
3985
(Aaron Bentley)
3986
3987
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3988
a separator, not ':'.
3989
(Aaron Bentley)
3990
3991
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3992
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3993
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3994
3995
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3996
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3997
(Robert Collins)
3998
3999
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4000
has been added that suppresses all output.
4001
4002
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4003
Adams.
4004
4005
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4006
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4007
4008
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4009
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4010
4011
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4012
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4013
4014
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4015
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4016
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4017
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4018
4019
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4020
4021
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4022
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4023
4024
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4025
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4026
4027
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4028
output directory, if one was supplied.
4029
4030
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4031
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4032
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4033
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4034
4035
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4036
4037
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4038
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4039
4040
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4041
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4042
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4043
4044
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4045
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4046
4047
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4048
(Aaron Bentley)
4049
4050
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4051
4052
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4053
4054
TESTING:
4055
4056
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4057
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4058
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4059
4060
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4061
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4062
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4063
4064
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4065
is given. (Martin Pool)
4066
4067
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4068
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4069
file. (Robert Collins)
4070
4071
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4072
(Martin Pool)
4073
4074
INTERNALS:
4075
4076
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4077
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4078
representation. (Martin Pool).
4079
4080
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4081
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4082
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4083
4084
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4085
(Robert Collins)
4086
4087
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4088
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4089
Magnus Therning.
4090
4091
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4092
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4093
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4094
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4095
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4096
4097
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4098
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4099
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4100
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4101
python path. (Robert Collins)
4102
4103
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4104
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4105
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4106
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4107
4108
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4109
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4110
4111
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4112
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4113
(Robert Collins)
4114
4115
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4116
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4117
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4118
4119
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4120
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4121
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4122
4123
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4124
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4125
4126
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4127
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4128
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4129
(Robert Collins)
4130
4131
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4132
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4133
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4134
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4135
(Robert Collins)
4136
4137
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4138
(Robert Collins)
4139
4140
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4141
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4142
(Robert Collins)
4143
4144
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4145
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4146
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4147
4148
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4149
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4150
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4151
4152
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4153
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4154
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4155
4156
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4157
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4158
4159
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4160
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4161
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4162
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4163
caller. (Robert Collins)
4164
4165
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4166
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4167
(Robert Collins).
4168
4169
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4170
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4171
(Aaron Bentley)
4172
4173
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4174
4175
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4176
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4177
4178
BUG FIXES:
4179
4180
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4181
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4182
4183
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4184
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4187
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4188
====================
4189
4190
BUG FIXES:
4191
4192
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4193
allow directories to be listed.
4194
4195
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4196
upgrading branch format.
4197
4198
PERFORMANCE:
4199
4200
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4201
4202
4203
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4204
==================
4205
4206
NOTES:
4207
4208
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4209
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4210
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4211
high-latency connections.
4212
4213
BUG FIXES:
4214
4215
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4216
Rob Weir.
4217
4218
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4219
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4220
4221
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4222
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4223
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4224
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4225
4226
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4227
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4228
4229
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4230
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4231
4232
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4233
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4234
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4235
4236
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4237
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4238
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4239
Robert Collins
4240
4241
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4242
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4243
4244
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4245
different partial views of history.
4246
4247
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4248
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4249
4250
IMPROVEMENTS:
4251
4252
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4253
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4254
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4255
4256
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4257
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4258
'bzr upgrade'.
4259
4260
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4261
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4262
4263
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4264
Niemeyer.
4265
4266
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4267
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4268
4269
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4270
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4271
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4272
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4273
4274
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4275
4276
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4277
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4278
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4279
4280
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4281
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4282
4283
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4284
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4285
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4286
4287
4288
INTERNALS:
4289
4290
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4291
for your viewing pleasure.
4292
4293
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4294
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4295
4296
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4297
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4298
handling of such circumstances.
4299
4300
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4301
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4302
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4303
4304
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4305
4306
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4307
we call them revisions not patches.
4308
4309
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4310
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4311
4312
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4313
giving the revision *of that file*.
4314
4315
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4316
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4317
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4318
4319
TESTING:
4320
4321
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4322
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4323
4324
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4325
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4326
4327
4328
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4329
====================
4330
4331
BUG FIXES:
4332
4333
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4334
4335
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4336
(Robert Collins).
4337
4338
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4339
4340
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4341
4342
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4343
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4344
4345
IMPROVEMENTS:
4346
4347
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4348
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4349
4350
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4351
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4352
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4353
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4354
Robey Pointer
4355
4356
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4357
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4358
4359
INTERNALS:
4360
4361
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4362
4363
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4364
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4365
4366
4367
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4368
====================
4369
4370
IMPROVEMENTS:
4371
4372
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4373
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4374
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4375
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4376
Michael Ellerman.
4377
4378
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4379
(Nir Soffer)
4380
4381
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4382
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4383
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4384
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4385
for the operating system is still tried.
4386
4387
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4388
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4389
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4390
4391
4392
INTERNALS:
4393
4394
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4395
4396
BUG FIXES:
4397
4398
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4399
4400
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4401
branch.
4402
4403
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4404
read.
4405
4406
4407
PORTABILITY:
4408
4409
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4410
4411
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4412
4413
4414
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4415
====================
4416
4417
NEW FEATURES:
4418
4419
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4420
help with intelligent shell completion.
4421
4422
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4423
4424
4425
ENHANCEMENTS:
4426
4427
* Much better merge support.
4428
4429
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4430
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4431
like emacs smerge.
4432
4433
4434
BUG FIXES:
4435
4436
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4437
mention revisions that are not present.
4438
4439
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4440
4441
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4442
4443
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4444
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4445
4446
4447
CHANGES:
4448
4449
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4450
4451
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4452
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4453
--help themselves.
4454
4455
4456
LIBRARY:
4457
4458
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4459
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4460
libraries.
4461
4462
4463
4464
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4465
====================
4466
4467
NEW FEATURES:
4468
4469
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4470
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4471
4472
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4473
4474
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4475
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4476
4477
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4478
FOO.
4479
4480
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4481
4482
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4483
the Unix command.
4484
4485
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4486
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4487
4488
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4489
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4490
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4491
4492
4493
ENHANCEMENTS:
4494
4495
* Faster working tree operations.
4496
4497
4498
CHANGES:
4499
4500
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4501
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4502
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4503
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4504
4505
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4506
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4507
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4508
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4509
standard plugins directory.
4510
4511
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4512
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4513
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4514
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4515
4516
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4517
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4518
4519
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4520
disk.
4521
4522
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4523
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4524
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4525
4526
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4527
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4528
4529
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4530
line options must come before the command name because they
4531
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4532
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4533
it.
4534
4535
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4536
4537
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4538
is available with ``--short``.
4539
4540
4541
BUG FIXES:
4542
4543
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4544
4545
4546
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4547
=====================
4548
4549
CHANGES:
4550
4551
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4552
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4553
4554
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4555
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4556
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4557
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4558
4559
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4560
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4561
with the ``--forward`` option.
4562
4563
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4564
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4565
field.
4566
4567
4568
ENHANCEMENTS:
4569
4570
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4571
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4572
4573
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4574
4575
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4576
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4577
4578
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4579
4580
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4581
either read or write mode.
4582
4583
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4584
4585
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4586
affected that file.
4587
4588
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4589
4590
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4591
suggested by LarstiQ.
4592
4593
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4594
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4595
4596
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4597
a filename.
4598
4599
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4600
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4601
4602
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4603
haven't changed since the previous time.
4604
4605
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4606
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4607
4608
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4609
4610
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4611
4612
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4613
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4614
4615
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4616
options through to an external GNU diff.
4617
4618
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4619
their contents.
4620
4621
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4622
from a branch.
4623
4624
4625
BUG FIXES:
4626
4627
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4628
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4629
4630
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4631
metacharacters.
4632
4633
4634
TESTING:
4635
4636
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4637
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4638
the tests.
4639
4640
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4641
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4642
4643
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4644
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4645
4646
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4647
under a different version.
4648
4649
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4650
4651
4652

* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4655
4656
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4657
Scott James Remnant.
4658
4659
* Better help messages for many commands.
4660
4661
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4662
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4663
4664
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4665
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4666
4667
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4668
4669

4670
4671
* New AtomicFile class.
4672
4673
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4674
4675
4676
PORTABILITY:
4677
4678
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4679

4683
=====================
4684
4685
ENHANCEMENTS:
4686
4687
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4688
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4689
4690
* More default ignore patterns.
4691
4692
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4693
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4694
4695
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4696
4697
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4698
by Jason Diamon.
4699
4700
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4701
4702
4703
CHANGES:
4704
4705
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4706
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4707
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4708
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4709
there are DNS problems.
4710
4711
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4712
4713
4714
BUG FIXES:
4715
4716
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4717
4718

4719
4720
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4721
trailing newlines properly.
4722
4723
4724
INTERNAL:
4725
4726
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4727
Matt Brubeck.
4728
4729
* More tests in test.sh.
4730
4731
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4732
directory and delete it when done.
4733
4734
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4735
4736
4737
PORTABILITY:
4738
4739
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4740
Bennetts.
4741
4742
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4743
from QuantumG.

4766

4767
4768
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4769
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4770
will do for now.)
4771
4772
PORTABILITY:
4773
4774
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4775
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4776
Nielsen.

4808
4809

4810
branch.
4811
4812
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4813
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4814
4815
* Performance improvements.
4816
4817
* New global --profile option.
4818
4819

4847
