12
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
13
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
14
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
15
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
19
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
24
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
25
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
26
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
27
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
28
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
30
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
31
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
32
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
34
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
35
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
37
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
39
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
43
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
44
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
46
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
47
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
49
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
52
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
53
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
56
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
57
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
58
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
60
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
65
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
66
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
67
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
68
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
69
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
70
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
74
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
75
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
77
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
78
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
79
``get_parents`` is now considered deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
91
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
93
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
96
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
98
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
99
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
103
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
104
=====================
108
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
109
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
110
by mail to the mailing list.
115
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
117
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
118
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
119
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
120
feedback but also incur more latency.
121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
123
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
124
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
128
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
130
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
135
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
136
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
137
wraps its output in a StringIO.
141
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
142
=====================
146
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
148
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
151
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
152
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
153
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
154
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
156
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
159
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
160
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
162
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
163
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
164
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
166
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
167
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
168
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
169
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
170
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
171
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
172
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
173
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
174
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
178
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
181
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
185
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
186
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
188
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
190
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
192
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
193
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
197
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
198
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
200
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
201
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
205
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
206
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
209
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
210
=====================
212
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
214
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
215
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
216
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
217
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
219
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
220
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
222
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
223
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
225
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
226
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
227
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
228
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
229
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
230
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
231
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
232
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
233
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
234
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
235
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
236
from any tree without problems.
237
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
241
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
242
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
243
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
245
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
246
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
247
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
252
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
253
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
254
supported transports.
257
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
258
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
259
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
261
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
262
(Robert Collins, #154173)
264
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
265
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
266
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
267
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
269
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
270
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
274
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
275
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
276
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
277
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
279
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
280
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
281
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
282
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
284
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
285
(Robert Collins, #88319)
287
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
288
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
290
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
291
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
293
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
294
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
299
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
302
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
303
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
306
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
307
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
308
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
309
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
311
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
312
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
313
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
314
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
320
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
321
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
323
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
324
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
326
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
327
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
329
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
332
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
333
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
335
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
336
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
338
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
341
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
344
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
347
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
348
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
351
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
352
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
354
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
355
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
357
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
358
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
360
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
363
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
364
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
365
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
366
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
368
(Martin Pool, #164637)
370
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
371
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
374
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
375
(Robert Collins, #161240)
377
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
379
(Martin Pool, #164443)
381
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
382
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
384
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
385
specify a port in urls.
386
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
388
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
389
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
391
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
392
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
394
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
395
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
397
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
398
(Robert Collins, #153789)
400
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
401
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
402
(Robert Collins, #165304).
404
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
406
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
407
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
409
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
412
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
413
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
415
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
416
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
418
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
419
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
420
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
422
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
423
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
425
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
426
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
427
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
428
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
430
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
431
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
433
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
434
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
435
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
437
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
438
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
440
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
443
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
448
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
449
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
451
* The return value of
452
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
453
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
454
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
455
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
457
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
460
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
461
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
467
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
468
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
469
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
472
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
473
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
475
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
485
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
488
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
489
======================
491
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
495
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
496
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
498
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
499
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
500
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
501
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
502
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
503
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
504
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
505
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
506
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
507
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
508
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
509
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
514
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
515
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
516
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
517
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
518
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
519
for further details. (Robert Collins)
521
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
522
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
523
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
526
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
528
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
529
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
531
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
532
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
535
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
536
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
537
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
541
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
542
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
544
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
545
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
547
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
548
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
549
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
550
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
552
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
555
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
556
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
557
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
558
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
560
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
561
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
563
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
564
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
566
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
567
the contents. (Robert Collins)
569
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
570
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
574
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
575
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
577
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
578
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
580
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
581
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
583
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
584
(Martin Pool, #63894)
586
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
587
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
591
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
593
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
598
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
599
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
600
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
602
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
603
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
605
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
606
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
608
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
609
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
610
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
611
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
613
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
614
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
615
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
616
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
617
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
619
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
620
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
624
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
626
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
627
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
629
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
630
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
632
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
635
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
636
contains a symbolic link.
637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
639
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
640
(James Westby, #140615)
642
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
643
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
644
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
646
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
647
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
648
(Martin Pool, #144633)
650
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
652
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
655
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
657
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
659
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
660
directory to detect leaking tests.
661
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
663
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
664
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
665
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
667
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
670
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
671
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
673
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
678
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
679
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
681
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
682
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
683
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
685
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
686
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
687
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
689
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
690
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
692
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
693
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
695
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
696
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
699
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
700
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
702
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
706
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
707
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
709
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
710
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
711
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
713
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
714
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
715
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
718
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
719
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
720
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
721
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
726
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
727
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
728
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
730
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
731
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
732
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
733
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
735
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
736
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
739
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
740
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
741
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
743
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
744
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
745
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
747
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
748
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
750
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
751
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
752
to complete. (Robert Collins)
754
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
755
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
757
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
758
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
759
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
761
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
762
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
763
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
765
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
766
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
767
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
768
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
770
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
771
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
772
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
773
returned. (Robert Collins)
775
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
776
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
778
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
779
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
780
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
781
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
784
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
785
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
789
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
790
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
792
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
793
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
794
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
795
makes this behavior available to other users.
798
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
799
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
807
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
808
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
809
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
811
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
813
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
814
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
815
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
816
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
818
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
819
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
823
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
824
======================
826
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
830
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
831
======================
835
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
836
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
837
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
838
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
841
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
842
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
843
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
848
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
849
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
850
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
853
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
854
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
855
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
857
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
858
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
859
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
861
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
862
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
864
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
865
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
866
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
867
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
868
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
869
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
870
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
871
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
872
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
873
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
875
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
876
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
878
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
879
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
880
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
884
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
885
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
887
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
888
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
889
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
891
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
892
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
894
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
895
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
897
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
900
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
901
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
903
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
904
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
906
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
907
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
909
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
910
(Blake Winton, #129299)
912
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
914
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
917
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
918
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
919
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
920
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
922
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
924
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
925
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
928
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
929
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
931
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
932
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
935
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
936
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
938
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
939
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
941
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
942
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
943
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
944
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
945
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
946
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
947
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
949
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
950
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
952
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
953
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
955
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
956
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
958
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
959
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
961
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
965
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
966
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
968
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
969
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
970
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
972
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
973
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
974
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
978
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
979
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
981
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
984
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
987
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
988
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
990
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
992
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
993
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
995
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
996
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
998
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
999
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1000
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1001
space). (Robert Collins)
1003
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1004
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1007
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1008
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1010
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1011
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1013
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1014
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1015
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1016
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1018
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1019
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1020
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1023
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1026
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1027
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1028
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1030
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1031
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1032
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1033
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1034
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1038
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1039
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1041
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1042
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1043
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1044
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1045
affected. (Robert Collins)
1047
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1048
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1049
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1052
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1053
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1057
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1058
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1060
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1061
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1063
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1064
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1066
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1069
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1070
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1074
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1075
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1076
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1077
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1079
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1080
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1082
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1083
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1084
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1085
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1087
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1088
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1089
present. (Robert Collins)
1091
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1092
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1093
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1094
API. (Robert Collins)
1096
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1097
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1100
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1101
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1103
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1104
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1105
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1106
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1107
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1108
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1110
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1111
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1112
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1114
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1115
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1116
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1117
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1120
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1123
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1124
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1125
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1126
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1127
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1128
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1129
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1131
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1132
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1133
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1134
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1136
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1137
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1138
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1139
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1140
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1141
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1143
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1144
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1145
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1147
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1148
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1156
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1157
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1158
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1159
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1160
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1161
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1162
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1163
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1168
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1169
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1170
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1173
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1174
======================
1178
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1179
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1180
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1181
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1182
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1184
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1187
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1191
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1192
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1195
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1196
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1199
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1202
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1203
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1205
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1206
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1208
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1209
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1211
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1212
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1214
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1215
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1217
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1222
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1223
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1225
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1226
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1228
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1229
the repository (Robert Collins)
1231
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1232
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1233
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1234
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1235
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1237
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1238
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1240
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1241
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1242
(John Arbash Meinel)
1244
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1245
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1246
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1248
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1249
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1250
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1251
(John Arbash Meinel)
1253
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1254
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1257
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1258
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1260
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1263
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1265
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1267
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1268
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1270
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1271
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1274
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1275
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1276
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1277
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1279
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1280
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1281
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1283
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1284
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1285
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1287
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1288
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1290
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1291
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1292
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1293
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1294
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1295
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1298
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1299
(Alexander Belchenko)
1301
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1302
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1304
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1305
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1307
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1309
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1310
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1314
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1315
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1316
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1317
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1319
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1321
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1324
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1325
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1326
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1327
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1328
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1329
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1333
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1334
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1335
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1336
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1338
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1339
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1340
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1341
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1342
tests have been refactored too.
1345
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1346
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1347
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1351
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1352
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1353
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1355
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1356
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1357
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1358
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1359
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1360
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1361
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1363
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1364
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1365
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1366
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1367
(John Arbash Meinel)
1369
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1370
functionality for testing.
1372
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1374
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1375
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1377
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1379
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1382
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1383
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1385
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1386
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1387
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1389
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1392
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1393
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1395
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1396
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1397
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1398
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1400
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1401
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1403
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1404
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1405
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1407
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1410
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1411
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1412
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1413
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1414
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1415
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1417
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1418
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1419
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1420
many files. (Robert Collins)
1422
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1423
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1424
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1425
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1429
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1430
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1431
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1433
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1434
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1436
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1437
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1438
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1442
====================
1446
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1449
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1450
=======================
1454
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1455
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1457
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1458
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1459
(James Westby, #122656)
1461
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1462
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1464
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1465
authentication header.
1466
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1468
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1470
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1471
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1473
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1475
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1478
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1479
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1482
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1483
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1484
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1486
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1487
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1489
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1492
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1493
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1495
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1497
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1501
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1502
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1503
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1504
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1505
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1506
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1508
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1509
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1510
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1512
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1515
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1516
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1518
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1519
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1521
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1522
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1524
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1525
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1526
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1527
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1528
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1530
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1531
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1533
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1534
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1535
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1537
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1538
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1540
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1542
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1543
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1545
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1546
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1549
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1552
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1553
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1555
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1556
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1558
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1559
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1561
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1563
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1564
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1566
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1571
* Testing cleanups -
1572
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1573
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1574
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1575
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1576
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1577
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1578
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1579
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1580
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1581
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1582
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1583
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1584
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1585
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1586
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1587
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1588
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1591
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1593
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1594
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1595
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1597
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1598
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1600
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1601
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1603
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1605
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1606
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1607
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1608
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1609
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1610
same location. (Robert Collins)
1614
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1616
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1618
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1620
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1623
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1626
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1627
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1628
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1630
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1632
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1633
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1634
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1636
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1637
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1639
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1640
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1641
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1643
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1644
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1645
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1647
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1648
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1649
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1651
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1652
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1655
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1656
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1658
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1659
(Alexander Belchenko)
1663
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1664
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1665
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1666
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1668
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1669
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1670
testing. (Robert Collins)
1672
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1673
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1675
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1676
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1677
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1678
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1679
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1680
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1681
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1683
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1684
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1685
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1686
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1688
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1689
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1691
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1692
avoid useless cloning.

====================
1701
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1702
(Colin Watson, #120647)

=======================
1711
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1713
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1714
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1715
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1716
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1717
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1718
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1719
and unlock() like so::
1721
work_tree.lock_read()
1723
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1728
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1729
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1731
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1732
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1733
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1735
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1736
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1737
too. (Robert Collins)
1741
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1742
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1745
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1746
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1748
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1749
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1751
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1752
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1753
understanding what changes have occurred
1754
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1756
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1757
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1758
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1760
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1761
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1762
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1763
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1765
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1770
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1771
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1772
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1773
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1774
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1776
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1777
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1778
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1780
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1783
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1785
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1787
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1788
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1790
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1791
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1793
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1794
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1796
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1797
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1799
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1800
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1802
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1803
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1804
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1807
====================
1811
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1812
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1813
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1814
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1815
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1817
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1818
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1819
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1821
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1822
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1826
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1827
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1828
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1830
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1831
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1832
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1833
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1835
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1836
=======================
1840
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1841
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1842
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1843
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1845
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1846
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1847
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1849
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1850
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1852
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1853
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1855
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1856
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1858
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1859
=======================
1861
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1863
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1864
it could be recovered again.
1865
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1866
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1867
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1869
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1871
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1872
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1876
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1877
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1879
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1880
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1881
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1882
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1884
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1885
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1887
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1888
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1889
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1891
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1892
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1893
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1895
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1896
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1897
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1899
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1900
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1903
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1906
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1907
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1908
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1909
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1911
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1914
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1915
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1916
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1919
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1920
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1922
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1923
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1925
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1926
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1927
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1928
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1931
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1932
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1934
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1935
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1937
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1938
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1939
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1941
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1942
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1943
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1945
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1946
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1947
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1949
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1950
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1951
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1952
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1954
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1955
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1956
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1957
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1959
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1960
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1961
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1962
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1963
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1964
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1965
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1966
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1972
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1973
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1975
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1976
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1977
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1978
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1979
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1981
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1982
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1984
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1985
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1987
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1988
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1990
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1991
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1993
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1994
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1995
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1998
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1999
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2000
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2001
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2002
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2005
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2006
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2007
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2009
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2010
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2013
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2014
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2015
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2018
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2019
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2020
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2021
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2022
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2024
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2025
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2026
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2027
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2029
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2030
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2032
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2033
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2034
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2035
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2036
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2037
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2039
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2040
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2042
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2043
help. (Robert Collins)
2045
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2046
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2048
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2049
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2050
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2051
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2052
(John Arbash Meinel)
2054
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2055
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2056
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2057
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2058
useful. (Robert Collins)
2060
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2065
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2066
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2068
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2069
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2071
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2072
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2073
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2075
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2078
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2079
the file, and does it faster.
2080
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2082
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2083
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2084
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2086
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2087
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2088
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2089
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2091
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2092
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2093
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2094
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2096
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2097
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2099
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2100
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2101
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2102
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2105
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2107
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2108
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2110
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2111
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2113
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2114
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2115
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2116
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2120
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2125
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2126
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2127
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2129
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2130
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2132
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2133
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2134
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2135
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2136
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2137
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2138
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2139
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2141
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2142
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2143
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2145
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2146
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2147
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2148
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2149
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2151
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2153
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2154
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2155
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2157
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2158
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2166
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2169
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2170
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2173
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2174
=======================
2178
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2179
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2184
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2185
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2186
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2187
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2188
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2189
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2190
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2191
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2196
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2197
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2198
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2200
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2201
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2204
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2205
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2206
(John Arbash Meinel)
2208
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2209
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2210
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2211
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2212
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2216
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2219
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2220
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2222
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2223
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2225
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2226
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2227
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2229
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2230
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2232
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2233
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2234
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2235
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2236
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2238
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2239
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2240
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2242
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2245
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2246
=======================
2248
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2250
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2251
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2252
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2256
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2257
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2259
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2260
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2262
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2264
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2265
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2267
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2268
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2272
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2277
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2278
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2279
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2280
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2282
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2283
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2285
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2286
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2288
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2291
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2292
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2295
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2296
=======================
2300
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2301
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2302
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2303
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2304
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2305
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2307
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2308
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2309
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2310
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2311
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2312
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2314
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2316
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2317
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2318
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2319
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2320
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2321
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2322
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2323
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2327
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2328
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2330
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2331
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2332
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2333
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2335
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2336
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2337
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2338
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2339
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2341
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2344
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2347
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2350
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2351
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2354
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2357
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2358
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2360
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2361
directory. (Martin Pool)
2363
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2364
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2365
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2366
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2368
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2369
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2370
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2371
in docs/configuration.txt.
2373
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2374
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2377
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2378
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2379
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2380
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2381
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2382
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2384
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2385
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2387
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2388
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2390
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2395
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2396
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2397
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2398
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2399
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2400
(John Arbash Meinel)
2402
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2403
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2406
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2407
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2408
(John Arbash Meinel)
2410
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2411
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2412
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2413
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2414
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2415
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2417
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2418
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2419
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2421
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2422
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2423
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2424
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2426
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2428
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2429
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2430
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2431
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2433
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2434
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2435
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2436
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2438
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2439
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2440
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2442
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2443
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2444
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2446
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2447
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2448
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2449
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2451
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2452
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2453
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2455
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2456
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2457
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2459
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2460
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2461
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2462
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2463
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2464
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2465
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2466
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2467
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2468
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2469
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2473
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2474
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2475
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2477
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2480
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2481
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2482
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2483
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2485
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2486
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2489
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2490
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2492
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2494
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2495
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2496
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2498
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2499
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2501
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2504
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2507
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2508
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2510
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2512
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2513
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2517
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2518
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2522
====================
2526
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2530
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2531
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2532
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2534
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2535
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2536
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2539
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2540
=======================
2544
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2545
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2546
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2547
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2549
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2552
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2553
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2554
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2556
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2557
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2559
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2562
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2563
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2564
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2565
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2566
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2567
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2569
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2570
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2571
should enable you to do::
2573
[/home/user/project]
2574
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2575
push_location:policy = appendpath
2577
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2578
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2581
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2582
for each file. For example::
2584
$ bzr status --short
2590
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2591
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2593
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2595
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2596
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2598
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2602
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2603
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2604
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2605
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2607
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2608
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2609
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2611
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2613
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2614
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2615
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2616
(Alexander Belchenko)
2618
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2621
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2622
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2624
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2628
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2629
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2631
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2632
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2633
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2634
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2635
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2637
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2638
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2640
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2641
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2643
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2645
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2647
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2648
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2649
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2650
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2651
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2653
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2654
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2655
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2656
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2658
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2659
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2661
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2662
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2664
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2665
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2667
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2668
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

====================
2674
No changes from 0.13rc1
2676
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2677
=======================
2681
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2683
(Daniel Silverstone)
2685
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2686
operations are substantially faster.
2687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2689
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2690
tree from some other url. For example:
2691
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2692
(Daniel Silverstone)
2694
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2695
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2696
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2697
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2699
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2702
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2703
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2704
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2705
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2706
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2707
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2711
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2712
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2715
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2716
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2717
(John Arbash Meinel)
2719
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2720
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2721
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2722
(John Arbash Meinel)
2724
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2725
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2727
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2728
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2730
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2731
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2736
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2737
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2738
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2740
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2741
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2742
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2743
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2745
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2747
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2748
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2750
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2751
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2752
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2755
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2756
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2757
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2759
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2760
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2761
them as full references rather than integers.
2762
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2764
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2765
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2767
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2769
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2770
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2772
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2773
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2775
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2776
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2777
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2778
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2780
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2781
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2782
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2784
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2785
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2787
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2788
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2789
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2790
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2791
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2795
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2796
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2799
====================
2803
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2804
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2805
(John Arbash Meinel)
2807
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2808
=======================
2812
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2813
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2814
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2815
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2817
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2818
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2820
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2822
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2823
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2824
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2825
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2827
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2828
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2829
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2830
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2831
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2833
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2835
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2836
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2840
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2841
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2842
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2844
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2845
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2846
(John Arbash Meinel)
2848
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2849
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2850
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2852
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2853
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2856
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2857
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2858
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2860
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2861
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2862
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2863
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2864
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2865
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2867
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2868
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2869
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2872
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2873
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2877
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2878
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2879
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2882
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2883
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2885
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2886
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2887
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2889
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2890
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2892
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2893
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2894
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2895
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2897
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2898
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2900
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2901
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2902
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2904
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2905
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2907
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2909
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2910
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2915
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2916
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2917
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2918
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2920
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2921
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2922
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2925
====================
2927
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2929
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2930
=======================
2934
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2936
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2939
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2940
=======================
2944
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2945
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2946
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2947
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2948
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2949
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2950
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2952
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2953
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2954
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2956
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2958
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2959
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2961
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2962
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2963
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2966
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2967
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2968
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2969
(John Arbash Meinel)
2971
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2972
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2973
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2974
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2977
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2978
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2979
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2980
(John Arbash Meinel)
2984
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2985
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2987
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2989
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2990
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2991
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2993
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2994
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2996
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2997
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2999
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3002
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3003
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3005
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3007
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3008
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3010
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3011
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3013
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3014
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3016
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3017
(John Arbash Meinel)
3019
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3020
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3021
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3023
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3024
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3026
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3027
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3028
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3029
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3031
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3032
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3033
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3035
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3036
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3040
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3044
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3045
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3046
(John Arbash Meinel)
3048
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3049
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3050
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3051
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3053
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3056
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3057
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3058
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3060
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3061
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3063
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3064
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3065
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3067
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3068
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3069
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3070
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3071
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3072
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3073
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3074
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3075
caller to repeat their request.
3076
(John Arbash Meinel)
3078
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3079
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3081
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3082
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3084
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3085
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3086
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3087
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3088
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3089
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3090
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3092
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3093
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3094
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3095
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3096
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3097
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3098
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3099
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3102
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3103
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3104
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3106
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3107
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3109
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3110
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3112
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3113
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3117
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3118
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3120
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3121
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3122
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3124
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3125
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3126
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3129
====================
3132
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3133
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3135
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3136
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3137
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3138
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3139
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3141
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3142
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3143
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3145
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3146
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3148
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3149
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3150
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3154
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3156
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3157
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3158
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3160
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3162
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3164
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3165
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3166
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3167
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3169
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3170
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3171
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3172
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3173
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3175
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3176
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3178
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3179
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3181
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3182
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3184
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3185
in handling of revision properties.
3186
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3188
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3189
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3193
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3194
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3195
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3196
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3197
(John Arbash Meinel)
3199
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3200
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3201
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3203
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3204
=====================
3208
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3209
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3210
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3211
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3212
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3213
a more conservative list than the old default.
3214
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3215
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3216
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3217
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3219
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3220
to more locations than just branch locations.
3225
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3226
revno:N:branch. For example,
3227
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3228
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3230
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3231
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3232
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3233
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3234
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3235
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3236
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3237
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3240
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3241
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3242
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3245
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3246
(Alexander Belchenko)
3248
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3250
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3253
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3254
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3255
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3256
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3257
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3258
(John Arbash Meinel)
3260
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3261
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3262
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3263
grained analysis of performance.
3264
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3266
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3267
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3269
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3270
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3271
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3272
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3273
file. (Robert Collins).
3275
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3276
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3277
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3279
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3280
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3283
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3284
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3286
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3287
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3288
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3289
the same way you would apply another branch.
3290
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3292
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3293
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3295
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3298
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3301
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3302
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3303
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3305
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3306
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3307
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3309
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3310
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3312
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3313
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3314
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3315
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3316
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3318
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3319
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3321
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3322
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3323
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3324
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3325
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3326
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3327
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3328
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3330
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3331
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3332
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3336
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3338
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3340
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3341
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3343
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3344
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3346
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3347
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3349
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3351
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3352
(John Arbash Meinel)
3354
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3355
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3357
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3358
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3361
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3362
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3364
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3365
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3367
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3368
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3369
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3370
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3372
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3373
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3375
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3377
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3378
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3380
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3382
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3384
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3385
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3387
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3388
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3390
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3391
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3392
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3394
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3395
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3396
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3398
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3399
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3401
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3402
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3404
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3405
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3407
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3408
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3410
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3411
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3413
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3414
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3415
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3417
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3419
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3420
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3424
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3425
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3426
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3428
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3429
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3431
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3432
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3433
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3435
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3436
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3438
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3439
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3442
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3443
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3444
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3446
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3447
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3448
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3450
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3451
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3452
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3454
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3455
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3456
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3458
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3459
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3460
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3462
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3463
instead. (Robert Collins)
3465
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3467
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3468
=====================
3472
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3474
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3475
=====================
3479
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3480
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3482
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3483
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3485
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3486
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3487
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3491
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3493
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3494
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3496
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3500
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3501
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3502
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3503
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3507
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3508
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3509
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3513
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3514
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3515
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3519
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3520
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3525
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3527
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3528
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3529
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3530
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3531
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3532
will keep the same format.
3534
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3535
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3536
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3537
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3538
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3540
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3541
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3542
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3543
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3544
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3545
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3546
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3548
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3549
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3550
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3551
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3552
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3554
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3555
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3556
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3562
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3563
convention. Paths now take the form::
3565
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3567
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3569
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3570
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3572
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3573
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3574
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3576
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3577
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3578
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3579
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3581
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3582
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3583
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3585
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3587
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3589
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3590
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3593
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3594
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3597
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3599
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3600
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3601
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3604
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3606
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3608
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3611
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3612
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3614
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3615
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3618
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3619
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3622
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3624
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3626
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3627
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3629
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3630
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3631
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3632
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3633
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3634
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3636
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3638
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3639
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3642
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3643
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3645
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3646
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3648
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3650
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3651
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3652
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3653
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3654
specification by Martin Pool.
3655
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3657
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3660
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3661
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3663
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3664
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3665
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3667
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3669
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3670
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3675
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3676
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3678
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3680
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3682
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3685
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3686
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3687
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3688
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3692
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3693
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3694
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3695
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3697
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3698
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3699
tried. (Martin Pool)
3701
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3704
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3706
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3707
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3708
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3710
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3711
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3713
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3714
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3715
paths. (Robert Collins)
3717
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3718
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3719
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3721
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3722
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3723
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3725
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3726
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3727
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3729
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3732
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3735
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3737
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3739
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3740
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3741
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3744
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3745
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3747
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3748
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3749
check. (Robert Collins)
3751
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3752
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3756
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3757
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3759
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3760
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3761
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3762
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3764
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3765
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3766
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3767
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3768
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3770
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3771
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3772
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3774
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3776
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3777
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3784
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3785
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3787
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3788
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3789
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3792
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3793
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3795
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3796
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3797
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3798
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3799
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3801
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3802
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3803
used. (Robert Collins)
3805
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3806
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3809
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3810
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3811
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3813
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3816
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3817
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3821
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3822
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3824
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3826
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3828
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3829
tree. (Robert Collins)
3831
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3832
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3833
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3836
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3839
* Tweaks to short log printing
3841
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3844
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3845
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3847
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3848
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3850
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3851
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3853
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3854
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3855
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3857
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3858
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3860
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3861
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3864
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3865
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3867
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3868
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3870
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3871
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3873
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3876
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3877
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3879
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3880
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3882
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3883
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3884
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3888
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3890
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3892
* Error when run with -OO
3894
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3897
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3899
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3901
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3902
ignored by diff and status
3904
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3905
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3907
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3909
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3911
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3912
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3914
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3915
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3917
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3920
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3921
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3923
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3925
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3926
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3928
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3931
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3932
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3934
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3938
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3939
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3941
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3943
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3945
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3947
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3948
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3949
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3951
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3953
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3954
(John Arbash Meinel)
3956
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3958
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3959
If adding a new test script please add that to
3960
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3962
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3963
imported. (Martin Pool)
3965
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3966
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3967
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3968
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3969
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3972
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3973
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3974
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3976
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3977
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3978
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3980
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3981
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3982
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3983
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3984
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3987
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3988
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3993
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3994
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3996
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3997
function. (Robert Collins)
3999
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4000
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4001
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4003
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4004
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4007
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4008
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4009
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4010
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4011
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4012
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4013
version. (Robert Collins)
4015
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4016
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4018
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4019
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4020
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4021
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4022
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4023
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4025
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4028
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4038
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4040
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4042
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4045
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4046
query method. (Robert Collins)
4048
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4051
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4054
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4057
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4058
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4059
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4060
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4062
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4063
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4064
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4065
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4067
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4068
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4075
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4078
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4082
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4083
a separator, not ':'.
4086
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4087
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4088
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4090
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4091
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4094
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4095
has been added that suppresses all output.
4097
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4100
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4101
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4103
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4104
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4106
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4107
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4109
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4110
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4111
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4112
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4114
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4116
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4117
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4119
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4120
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4122
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4123
output directory, if one was supplied.
4125
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4126
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4127
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4128
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4130
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4132
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4133
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4135
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4136
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4137
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4139
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4140
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4142
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4145
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4147
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4151
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4152
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4153
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4155
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4156
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4157
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4159
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4160
is given. (Martin Pool)
4162
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4163
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4164
file. (Robert Collins)
4166
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4171
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4172
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4173
representation. (Martin Pool).
4175
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4176
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4177
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4179
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4182
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4183
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4186
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4187
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4188
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4189
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4190
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4192
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4193
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4194
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4195
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4196
python path. (Robert Collins)
4198
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4199
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4200
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4201
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4203
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4204
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4206
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4207
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4210
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4211
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4212
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4214
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4215
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4216
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4218
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4219
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4221
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4222
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4223
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4226
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4227
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4228
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4229
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4232
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4235
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4236
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4239
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4240
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4241
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4243
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4244
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4245
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4247
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4248
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4249
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4251
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4252
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4254
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4255
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4256
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4257
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4258
caller. (Robert Collins)
4260
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4261
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4264
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4265
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4268
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4270
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4271
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4275
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4276
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4278
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4279
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4282
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4283
====================
4287
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4288
allow directories to be listed.
4290
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4291
upgrading branch format.
4295
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4303
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4304
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4305
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4306
high-latency connections.
4310
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4313
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4314
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4316
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4317
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4318
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4319
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4321
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4322
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4324
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4325
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4327
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4328
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4329
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4331
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4332
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4333
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4336
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4337
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4339
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4340
different partial views of history.
4342
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4343
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4347
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4348
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4349
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4351
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4352
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4355
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4356
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4358
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4361
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4362
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4364
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4365
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4366
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4367
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4369
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4371
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4372
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4375
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4376
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4378
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4379
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4380
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4385
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4386
for your viewing pleasure.
4388
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4389
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4391
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4392
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4393
handling of such circumstances.
4395
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4396
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4397
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4399
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4401
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4402
we call them revisions not patches.
4404
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4405
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4407
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4408
giving the revision *of that file*.
4410
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4411
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4412
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4416
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4417
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4419
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4420
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4423
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4424
====================
4428
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4430
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4433
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4435
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4437
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4438
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4442
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4443
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4445
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4446
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4447
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4448
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4451
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4452
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4456
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4458
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4459
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4462
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4463
====================
4467
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4468
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4469
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4470
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4473
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4476
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4477
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4478
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4479
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4480
for the operating system is still tried.
4482
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4483
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4484
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4489
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4493
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4495
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4498
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4504
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4506
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4509
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4510
====================
4514
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4515
help with intelligent shell completion.
4517
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4522
* Much better merge support.
4524
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4525
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4531
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4532
mention revisions that are not present.
4534
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4536
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4538
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4539
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4544
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4546
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4547
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4553
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4554
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4559
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4560
====================
4564
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4565
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4567
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4569
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4570
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4572
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4575
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4577
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4580
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4581
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4583
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4584
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4585
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4590
* Faster working tree operations.
4595
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4596
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4597
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4598
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4600
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4601
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4602
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4603
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4604
standard plugins directory.
4606
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4607
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4608
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4609
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4611
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4612
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4614
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4617
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4618
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4619
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4621
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4622
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4624
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4625
line options must come before the command name because they
4626
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4627
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4630
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4632
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4633
is available with ``--short``.
4638
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4641
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4642
=====================
4646
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4647
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4649
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4650
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4651
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4652
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4654
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4655
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4656
with the ``--forward`` option.
4658
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4659
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4665
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4666
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4668
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4670
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4671
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4673
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4675
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4676
either read or write mode.
4678
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4680
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4683
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4685
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4686
suggested by LarstiQ.
4688
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4689
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4691
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4694
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4695
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4697
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4698
haven't changed since the previous time.
4700
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4701
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4703
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4705
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4707
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4708
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4710
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4711
options through to an external GNU diff.
4713
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4716
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4722
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4723
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4725
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4731
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4732
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4735
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4736
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4738
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4739
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4741
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4742
under a different version.
4744
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4749
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4751
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4752
Scott James Remnant.
4754
* Better help messages for many commands.
4756
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4757
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4759
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4760
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4762
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4764
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4766
* New AtomicFile class.
4768
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4773
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4774
2.4 is now only recommended.
4777
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4778
=====================
4782
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4783
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4785
* More default ignore patterns.
4787
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4788
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4790
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4792
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4795
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4800
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4801
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4802
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4803
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4804
there are DNS problems.
4806
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4811
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4813
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4815
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4816
trailing newlines properly.
4821
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4824
* More tests in test.sh.
4826
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4827
directory and delete it when done.
4829
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4834
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4837
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4841
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4842
=====================
4846
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4849
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4851
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4854
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4857
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4859
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4863
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4864
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4869
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4870
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4875
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4879
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4887
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4890
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4891
===================================
4895
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4897
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4898
rather than replacing it.
4900
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4904
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4907
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4908
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4910
* Performance improvements.
4912
* New global --profile option.
4914
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4915
the root directory only.
4918
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4919
=====================
4923
* More information from info command.
4925
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4927
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4928
committing to stores.
4930
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4934
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4938
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4939
installation easier.
4941
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4945
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
