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
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
25
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
26
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
28
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
30
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
31
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
32
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
33
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
34
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
36
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
37
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
38
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
40
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
41
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
43
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
46
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
48
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
50
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
53
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
54
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
58
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
61
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
62
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
64
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
65
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
67
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
68
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
70
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
71
user:pass embedded in the urls.
72
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
74
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
77
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
80
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
81
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
83
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
86
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
87
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
90
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
91
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
92
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
96
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
97
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
98
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
99
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
100
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
101
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
105
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
108
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
109
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
111
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
112
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
113
``get_parents`` is now considered deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
115
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
116
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
122
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
123
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
124
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
126
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
127
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
130
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
131
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
133
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
134
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
136
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
137
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
139
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
140
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
141
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
143
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
144
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
146
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
147
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
149
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
150
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
152
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
153
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
161
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
163
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
166
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
168
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
169
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
173
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
174
---------------------
178
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
179
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
180
by mail to the mailing list.
185
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
187
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
188
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
189
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
190
feedback but also incur more latency.
191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
193
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
194
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
198
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
200
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
205
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
206
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
207
wraps its output in a StringIO.
211
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
212
---------------------
216
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
218
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
221
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
224
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
225
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
226
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
227
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
229
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
232
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
233
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
235
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
236
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
237
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
239
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
240
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
241
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
242
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
243
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
244
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
245
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
246
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
247
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
251
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
254
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
258
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
259
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
261
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
263
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
265
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
266
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
270
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
271
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
273
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
274
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
278
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
279
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
282
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
283
---------------------
285
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
287
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
288
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
289
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
290
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
292
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
293
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
295
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
296
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
298
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
299
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
300
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
301
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
302
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
303
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
304
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
305
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
306
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
307
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
308
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
309
from any tree without problems.
310
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
314
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
315
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
316
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
318
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
319
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
320
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
325
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
326
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
327
supported transports.
330
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
331
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
332
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
334
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
335
(Robert Collins, #154173)
337
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
338
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
339
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
340
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
342
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
343
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
347
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
348
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
349
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
350
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
352
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
353
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
354
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
355
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
357
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
358
(Robert Collins, #88319)
360
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
361
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
363
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
364
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
366
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
367
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
372
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
375
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
376
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
379
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
380
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
381
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
382
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
384
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
385
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
386
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
387
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
393
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
394
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
396
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
397
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
399
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
400
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
402
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
405
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
406
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
408
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
409
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
411
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
414
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
417
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
418
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
420
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
421
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
422
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
424
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
425
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
427
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
428
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
430
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
431
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
433
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
436
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
437
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
438
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
439
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
441
(Martin Pool, #164637)
443
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
444
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
445
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
447
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
448
(Robert Collins, #161240)
450
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
452
(Martin Pool, #164443)
454
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
455
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
457
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
458
specify a port in urls.
459
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
461
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
462
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
464
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
465
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
467
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
468
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
470
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
471
(Robert Collins, #153789)
473
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
474
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
475
(Robert Collins, #165304).
477
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
479
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
480
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
482
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
485
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
486
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
488
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
489
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
491
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
492
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
493
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
495
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
496
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
498
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
499
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
500
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
501
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
503
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
504
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
506
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
507
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
508
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
510
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
511
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
513
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
516
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
521
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
522
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
524
* The return value of
525
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
526
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
527
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
528
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
530
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
533
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
534
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
540
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
541
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
542
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
545
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
546
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
548
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
558
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
561
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
562
----------------------
564
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
568
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
569
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
571
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
572
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
573
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
574
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
575
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
576
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
577
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
578
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
579
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
580
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
581
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
582
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
587
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
588
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
589
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
590
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
591
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
592
for further details. (Robert Collins)
594
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
595
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
596
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
599
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
601
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
602
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
604
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
605
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
608
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
609
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
610
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
614
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
615
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
617
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
618
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
620
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
621
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
622
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
623
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
625
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
628
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
629
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
630
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
631
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
633
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
634
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
636
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
637
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
639
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
640
the contents. (Robert Collins)
642
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
643
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
647
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
648
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
650
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
651
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
653
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
654
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
656
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
657
(Martin Pool, #63894)
659
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
660
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
664
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
666
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
671
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
672
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
673
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
675
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
676
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
678
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
679
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
681
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
682
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
683
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
684
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
686
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
687
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
688
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
689
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
690
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
692
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
693
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
697
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
699
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
700
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
702
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
705
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
708
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
709
contains a symbolic link.
710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
712
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
713
(James Westby, #140615)
715
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
716
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
719
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
720
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
721
(Martin Pool, #144633)
723
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
725
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
728
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
732
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
733
directory to detect leaking tests.
734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
736
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
737
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
738
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
740
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
743
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
744
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
746
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
751
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
752
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
754
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
755
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
756
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
758
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
759
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
760
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
762
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
763
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
765
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
766
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
768
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
769
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
772
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
773
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
775
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
779
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
780
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
782
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
783
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
784
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
786
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
787
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
788
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
791
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
792
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
793
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
794
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
799
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
800
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
801
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
803
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
804
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
805
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
806
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
808
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
809
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
812
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
813
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
814
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
816
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
817
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
818
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
820
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
821
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
823
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
824
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
825
to complete. (Robert Collins)
827
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
828
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
830
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
831
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
832
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
834
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
835
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
836
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
838
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
839
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
840
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
841
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
843
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
844
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
845
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
846
returned. (Robert Collins)
848
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
849
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
851
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
852
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
853
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
854
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
857
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
858
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
862
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
863
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
865
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
866
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
867
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
868
makes this behavior available to other users.
871
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
872
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
880
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
881
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
882
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
884
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
886
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
887
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
888
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
889
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
891
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
892
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
896
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
897
----------------------
899
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
903
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
904
----------------------
908
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
909
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
910
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
911
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
914
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
915
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
916
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
921
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
922
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
923
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
926
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
927
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
928
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
930
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
931
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
932
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
934
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
935
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
937
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
938
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
939
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
940
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
941
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
942
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
943
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
944
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
945
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
946
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
948
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
949
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
951
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
952
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
953
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
957
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
958
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
960
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
961
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
962
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
964
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
965
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
967
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
968
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
970
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
973
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
974
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
976
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
977
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
979
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
980
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
982
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
983
(Blake Winton, #129299)
985
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
987
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
990
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
991
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
992
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
993
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
995
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
997
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
998
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1001
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1002
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1004
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1005
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1008
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1009
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1011
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1012
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1014
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1015
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1016
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1017
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1018
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1019
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1020
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1022
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1023
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1025
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1026
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1028
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1029
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1031
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1032
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1034
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1036
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1038
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1039
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1041
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1042
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1043
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1045
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1046
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1047
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1051
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1052
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1054
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1057
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1060
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1061
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1063
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1065
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1066
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1068
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1069
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1071
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1072
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1073
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1074
space). (Robert Collins)
1076
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1077
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1080
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1081
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1083
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1084
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1086
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1087
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1088
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1089
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1091
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1092
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1093
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1096
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1099
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1100
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1101
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1103
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1104
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1105
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1106
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1107
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1111
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1112
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1114
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1115
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1116
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1117
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1118
affected. (Robert Collins)
1120
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1121
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1122
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1125
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1126
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1130
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1131
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1133
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1134
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1136
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1137
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1139
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1142
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1143
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1147
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1148
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1149
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1150
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1152
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1153
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1155
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1156
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1157
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1158
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1160
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1161
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1162
present. (Robert Collins)
1164
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1165
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1166
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1167
API. (Robert Collins)
1169
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1170
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1173
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1174
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1176
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1177
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1178
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1179
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1180
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1181
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1183
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1184
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1185
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1187
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1188
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1189
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1190
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1193
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1196
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1197
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1198
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1199
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1200
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1201
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1202
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1204
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1205
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1206
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1207
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1209
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1210
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1211
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1212
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1213
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1214
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1216
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1217
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1218
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1220
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1221
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1229
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1230
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1231
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1232
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1233
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1234
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1235
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1236
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1241
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1242
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1243
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1246
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1247
----------------------
1251
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1252
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1253
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1254
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1255
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1257
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1260
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1264
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1265
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1268
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1269
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1272
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1275
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1276
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1278
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1279
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1281
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1282
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1284
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1285
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1287
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1288
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1290
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1295
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1296
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1298
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1299
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1301
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1302
the repository (Robert Collins)
1304
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1305
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1306
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1307
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1308
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1310
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1311
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1313
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1314
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1315
(John Arbash Meinel)
1317
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1318
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1319
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1321
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1322
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1323
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1324
(John Arbash Meinel)
1326
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1327
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1330
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1331
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1333
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1336
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1338
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1340
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1341
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1343
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1344
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1347
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1348
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1349
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1350
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1352
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1353
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1354
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1356
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1357
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1358
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1360
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1361
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1363
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1364
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1365
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1366
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1367
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1368
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1371
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1372
(Alexander Belchenko)
1374
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1375
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1377
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1378
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1380
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1382
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1383
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1387
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1388
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1389
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1390
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1392
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1394
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1397
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1398
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1399
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1400
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1401
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1402
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1406
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1407
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1408
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1409
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1411
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1412
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1413
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1414
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1415
tests have been refactored too.
1418
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1419
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1420
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1424
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1425
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1426
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1428
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1429
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1430
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1431
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1432
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1433
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1434
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1436
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1437
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1438
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1439
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1440
(John Arbash Meinel)
1442
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1443
functionality for testing.
1445
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1447
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1448
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1450
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1452
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1455
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1456
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1458
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1459
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1460
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1462
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1465
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1466
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1468
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1469
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1470
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1471
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1473
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1474
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1476
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1477
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1478
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1480
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1483
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1484
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1485
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1486
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1487
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1488
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1490
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1491
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1492
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1493
many files. (Robert Collins)
1495
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1496
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1497
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1498
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1502
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1503
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1504
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1506
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1507
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1509
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1510
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1511
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1515
--------------------
1519
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1522
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1523
-----------------------
1527
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1528
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1530
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1531
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1532
(James Westby, #122656)
1534
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1535
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1537
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1538
authentication header.
1539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1541
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1543
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1544
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1546
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1548
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1551
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1552
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1555
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1556
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1557
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1559
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1560
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1562
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1565
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1566
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1568
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1570
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1574
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1575
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1576
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1577
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1578
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1579
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1581
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1582
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1583
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1585
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1588
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1589
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1591
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1592
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1594
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1595
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1597
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1598
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1599
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1600
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1601
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1603
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1604
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1606
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1607
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1608
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1610
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1611
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1613
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1615
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1616
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1618
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1619
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1622
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1625
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1626
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1628
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1629
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1631
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1632
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1634
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1636
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1637
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1639
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1644
* Testing cleanups -
1645
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1646
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1647
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1648
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1649
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1650
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1651
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1652
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1653
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1654
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1655
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1656
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1657
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1658
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1659
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1660
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1661
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1664
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1666
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1667
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1668
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1670
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1671
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1673
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1674
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1676
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1678
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1679
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1680
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1681
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1682
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1683
same location. (Robert Collins)
1687
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1689
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1691
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1693
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1696
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1699
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1700
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1701
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1703
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1706
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1707
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1709
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1710
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1712
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1713
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1714
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1716
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1717
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1718
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1720
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1721
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1722
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1724
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1725
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1728
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1729
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1731
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1732
(Alexander Belchenko)
1736
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1737
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1738
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1739
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1741
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1742
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1743
testing. (Robert Collins)
1745
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1746
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1748
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1749
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1750
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1751
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1752
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1753
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1754
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1756
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1757
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1758
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1759
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1761
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1762
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1764
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1765
avoid useless cloning.
1766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1770
--------------------
1774
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1775
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1777
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1778

-----------------------
1784
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1786
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1787
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1788
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1789
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1790
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1791
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1792
and unlock() like so::
1794
work_tree.lock_read()
1796
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1801
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1802
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1804
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1805
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1806
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1808
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1809
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1810
too. (Robert Collins)
1814
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1815
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1818
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1819
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1821
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1822
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1824
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1825
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1826
understanding what changes have occurred
1827
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1829
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1830
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1831
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1833
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1834
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1835
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1836
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1838
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1843
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1844
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1845
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1846
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1847
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1849
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1850
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1851
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1853
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1856
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1858
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1860
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1861
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1863
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1864
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1866
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1867
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1869
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1870
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1872
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1873
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1875
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1876
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1877
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1880
--------------------
1884
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1885
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1886
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1887
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1888
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1890
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1891
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1892
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1894
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1895
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1899
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1900
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1901
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1903
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1904
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1905
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1906
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1908
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1909
-----------------------
1913
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1914
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1915
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1916
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1918
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1919
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1920
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1922
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1923
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1925
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1926
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1928
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1929
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1931
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1932
-----------------------
1934
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1936
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1937
it could be recovered again.
1938
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1939
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1940
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1942
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1944
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1945
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1949
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1950
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1952
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1953
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1954
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1955
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1957
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1958
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1960
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1961
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1962
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1964
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1965
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1966
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1968
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1969
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1970
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1972
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1973
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1976
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1979
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1980
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1981
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1982
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1984
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1987
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1988
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1989
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1992
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1993
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1995
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1996
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1998
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1999
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2000
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2001
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2004
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2005
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2007
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2008
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2010
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2011
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2012
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2014
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2015
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2016
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2018
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2019
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2020
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2022
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2023
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2024
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2025
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2027
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2028
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2029
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2030
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2032
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2033
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2034
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2035
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2036
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2037
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2038
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2039
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2045
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2046
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2048
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2049
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2050
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2051
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2052
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2054
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2055
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2057
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2058
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2060
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2061
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2063
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2064
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2066
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2067
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2068
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2071
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2072
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2073
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2074
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2075
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2078
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2079
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2080
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2082
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2083
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2086
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2087
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2088
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2091
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2092
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2093
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2094
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2095
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2097
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2098
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2099
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2100
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2102
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2103
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2105
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2106
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2107
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2108
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2109
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2110
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2112
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2113
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2115
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2116
help. (Robert Collins)
2118
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2119
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2121
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2122
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2123
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2124
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2125
(John Arbash Meinel)
2127
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2128
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2129
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2130
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2131
useful. (Robert Collins)
2133
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2138
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2139
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2141
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2142
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2144
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2145
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2146
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2148
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2151
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2152
the file, and does it faster.
2153
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2155
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2156
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2157
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2159
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2160
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2161
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2162
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2164
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2165
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2166
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2167
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2169
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2170
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2172
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2173
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2174
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2175
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2178
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2180
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2181
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2183
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2184
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2186
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2187
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2188
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2189
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2193
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2194
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2198
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2199
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2200
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2202
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2203
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2205
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2206
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2207
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2208
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2209
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2210
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2211
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2212
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2214
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2215
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2216
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2218
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2219
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2220
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2221
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2222
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2224
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2226
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2227
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2228
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2230
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2231
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2239
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2242
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2243
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2246
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2247
-----------------------
2251
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2252
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2257
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2258
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2259
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2260
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2261
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2262
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2263
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2264
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2269
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2270
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2271
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2273
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2274
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2277
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2278
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2279
(John Arbash Meinel)
2281
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2282
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2283
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2284
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2285
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2289
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2292
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2293
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2295
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2296
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2298
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2299
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2300
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2302
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2303
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2305
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2306
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2307
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2308
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2309
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2311
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2312
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2313
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2315
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2318
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2319
-----------------------
2321
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2323
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2324
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2325
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2329
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2330
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2332
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2333
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2335
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2337
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2338
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2340
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2341
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2345
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2350
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2351
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2352
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2353
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2355
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2356
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2358
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2359
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2361
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2364
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2365
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2368
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2369
-----------------------
2373
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2374
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2375
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2376
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2377
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2378
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2380
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2381
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2382
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2383
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2384
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2385
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2387
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2389
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2390
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2391
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2392
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2393
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2394
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2395
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2396
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2400
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2401
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2403
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2404
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2405
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2406
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2408
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2409
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2410
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2411
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2412
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2414
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2417
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2420
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2423
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2424
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2427
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2430
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2431
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2433
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2434
directory. (Martin Pool)
2436
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2437
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2438
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2439
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2441
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2442
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2443
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2444
in docs/configuration.txt.
2446
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2447
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2450
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2451
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2452
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2453
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2454
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2455
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2457
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2458
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2460
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2461
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2463
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2468
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2469
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2470
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2471
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2472
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2473
(John Arbash Meinel)
2475
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2476
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2479
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2480
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2481
(John Arbash Meinel)
2483
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2484
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2485
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2486
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2487
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2488
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2490
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2491
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2492
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2494
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2495
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2496
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2497
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2499
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2501
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2502
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2503
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2504
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2506
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2507
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2508
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2509
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2511
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2512
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2513
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2515
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2516
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2517
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2519
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2520
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2521
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2522
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2524
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2525
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2526
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2528
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2529
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2530
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2532
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2533
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2534
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2535
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2536
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2537
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2538
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2539
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2540
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2541
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2542
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2546
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2547
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2548
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2550
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2553
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2554
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2555
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2556
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2558
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2559
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2562
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2563
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2565
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2567
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2568
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2569
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2571
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2572
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2574
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2577
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2580
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2581
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2583
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2585
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2586
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2590
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2591
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2595
--------------------
2599
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2603
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2604
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2605
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2607
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2608
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2609
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2612
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2613
-----------------------
2617
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2618
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2619
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2620
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2622
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2625
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2626
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2627
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2629
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2630
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2632
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2635
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2636
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2637
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2638
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2639
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2640
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2642
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2643
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2644
should enable you to do::
2646
[/home/user/project]
2647
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2648
push_location:policy = appendpath
2650
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2651
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2654
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2655
for each file. For example::
2657
$ bzr status --short
2663
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2664
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2666
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2668
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2669
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2671
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2675
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2676
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2677
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2678
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2680
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2681
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2682
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2684
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2686
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2687
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2688
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2689
(Alexander Belchenko)
2691
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2694
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2695
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2697
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2701
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2702
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2704
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2705
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2706
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2707
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2708
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2710
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2711
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2713
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2714
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2716
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2718
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2720
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2721
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2722
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2723
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2724
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2726
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2727
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2728
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2729
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2731
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2732
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2734
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2735
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2737
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2738
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2740
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2741
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
2745
--------------------
2747
No changes from 0.13rc1
2749
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2750
-----------------------
2754
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2756
(Daniel Silverstone)
2758
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2759
operations are substantially faster.
2760
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2762
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2763
tree from some other url. For example:
2764
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2765
(Daniel Silverstone)
2767
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2768
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2769
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2770
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2772
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2775
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2776
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2777
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2778
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2779
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2780
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2784
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2785
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2788
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2789
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2790
(John Arbash Meinel)
2792
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2793
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2794
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2795
(John Arbash Meinel)
2797
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2798
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2800
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2801
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2803
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2804
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2809
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2810
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2811
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2813
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2814
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2815
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2816
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2818
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2820
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2821
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2823
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2824
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2825
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2826
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2828
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2829
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2830
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2832
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2833
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2834
them as full references rather than integers.
2835
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2837
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2838
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2840
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2842
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2843
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2845
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2846
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2848
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2849
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2850
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2851
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2853
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2854
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2855
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2857
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2858
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2860
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2861
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2862
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2863
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2864
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2868
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2869
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2872
--------------------
2876
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2877
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2878
(John Arbash Meinel)
2880
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2881
-----------------------
2885
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2886
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2887
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2888
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2890
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2891
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2893
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2895
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2896
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2897
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2898
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2900
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2901
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2902
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2903
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2904
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2906
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2908
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2909
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2913
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2914
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2915
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2917
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2918
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2919
(John Arbash Meinel)
2921
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2922
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2923
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2925
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2926
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2929
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2930
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2931
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2933
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2934
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2935
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2936
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2937
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2938
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2940
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2941
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2942
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2945
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2946
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2950
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2951
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2952
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2955
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2956
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2958
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2959
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2960
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2962
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2963
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2965
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2966
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2967
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2968
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2970
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2971
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2973
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2974
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2975
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2977
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2978
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2980
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2982
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2983
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2988
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2989
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2990
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2991
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2993
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2994
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2995
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2998
--------------------
3000
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3002
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3003
-----------------------
3007
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3009
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3012
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3013
-----------------------
3017
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3018
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3019
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3020
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3021
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3022
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3023
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3025
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3026
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3027
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3029
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3031
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3032
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3034
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3035
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3036
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3039
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3040
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3041
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3042
(John Arbash Meinel)
3044
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3045
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3046
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3047
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3050
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3051
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3052
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3053
(John Arbash Meinel)
3057
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3058
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3060
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3062
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3063
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3064
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3066
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3067
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3069
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3070
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3072
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3073
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3075
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3076
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3078
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3080
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3081
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3083
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3084
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3086
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3087
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3089
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3090
(John Arbash Meinel)
3092
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3093
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3094
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3096
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3097
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3099
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3100
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3101
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3102
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3104
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3105
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3106
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3108
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3109
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3113
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3117
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3118
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3119
(John Arbash Meinel)
3121
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3122
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3123
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3124
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3126
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3129
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3130
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3131
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3133
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3134
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3136
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3137
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3138
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3140
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3141
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3142
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3143
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3144
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3145
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3146
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3147
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3148
caller to repeat their request.
3149
(John Arbash Meinel)
3151
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3152
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3154
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3155
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3157
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3158
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3159
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3160
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3161
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3162
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3163
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3165
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3166
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3167
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3168
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3169
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3170
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3171
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3172
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3175
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3176
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3177
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3179
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3180
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3182
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3183
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3185
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3186
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3190
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3191
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3193
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3194
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3195
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3197
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3198
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3199
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3202
--------------------
3205
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3206
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3208
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3209
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3210
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3211
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3212
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3214
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3215
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3216
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3218
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3219
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3221
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3222
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3223
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3227
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3229
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3230
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3231
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3233
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3235
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3237
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3238
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3239
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3240
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3242
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3243
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3244
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3245
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3246
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3248
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3249
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3251
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3252
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3254
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3255
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3257
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3258
in handling of revision properties.
3259
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3261
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3262
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3266
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3267
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3268
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3269
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3270
(John Arbash Meinel)
3272
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3273
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3274
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3276
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3277
---------------------
3281
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3282
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3283
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3284
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3285
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3286
a more conservative list than the old default.
3287
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3288
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3289
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3290
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3292
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3293
to more locations than just branch locations.
3298
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3299
revno:N:branch. For example,
3300
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3301
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3303
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3304
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3305
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3306
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3307
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3308
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3309
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3310
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3313
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3314
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3315
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3318
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3319
(Alexander Belchenko)
3321
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3323
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3326
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3327
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3328
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3329
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3330
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3331
(John Arbash Meinel)
3333
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3334
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3335
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3336
grained analysis of performance.
3337
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3339
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3340
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3342
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3343
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3344
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3345
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3346
file. (Robert Collins).
3348
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3349
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3350
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3352
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3353
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3356
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3357
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3359
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3360
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3361
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3362
the same way you would apply another branch.
3363
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3365
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3366
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3368
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3371
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3374
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3375
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3376
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3378
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3379
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3380
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3382
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3383
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3385
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3386
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3387
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3388
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3389
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3391
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3392
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3394
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3395
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3396
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3397
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3398
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3399
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3400
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3401
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3403
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3404
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3405
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3409
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3411
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3413
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3414
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3416
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3417
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3419
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3420
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3422
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3424
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3425
(John Arbash Meinel)
3427
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3428
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3430
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3431
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3434
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3435
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3437
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3438
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3440
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3441
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3442
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3443
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3445
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3446
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3448
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3450
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3451
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3453
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3455
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3457
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3458
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3460
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3461
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3463
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3464
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3465
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3467
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3468
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3469
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3471
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3472
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3474
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3475
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3477
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3478
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3480
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3481
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3483
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3484
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3486
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3487
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3488
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3490
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3492
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3493
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3497
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3498
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3499
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3501
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3502
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3504
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3505
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3506
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3508
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3509
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3511
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3512
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3515
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3516
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3517
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3519
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3520
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3521
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3523
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3524
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3525
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3527
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3528
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3529
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3531
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3532
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3533
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3535
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3536
instead. (Robert Collins)
3538
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3540
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3541
---------------------
3545
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3547
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3548
---------------------
3552
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3553
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3555
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3556
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3558
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3559
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3560
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3564
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3566
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3567
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3569
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3573
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3574
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3575
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3576
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3580
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3581
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3582
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3586
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3587
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3588
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3592
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3593
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3598
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3600
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3601
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3602
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3603
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3604
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3605
will keep the same format.
3607
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3608
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3609
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3610
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3611
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3613
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3614
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3615
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3616
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3617
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3618
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3619
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3621
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3622
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3623
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3624
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3625
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3627
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3628
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3629
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3635
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3636
convention. Paths now take the form::
3638
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3640
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3642
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3643
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3645
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3646
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3647
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3649
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3650
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3651
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3652
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3654
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3655
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3656
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3658
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3660
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3662
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3663
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3666
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3667
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3670
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3672
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3673
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3674
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3677
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3679
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3681
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3684
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3685
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3687
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3688
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3691
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3692
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3695
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3697
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3699
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3700
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3702
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3703
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3704
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3705
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3706
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3707
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3709
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3711
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3712
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3715
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3716
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3718
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3719
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3721
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3723
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3724
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3725
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3726
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3727
specification by Martin Pool.
3728
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3730
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3733
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3734
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3736
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3737
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3738
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3740
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3742
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3743
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3748
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3749
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3751
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3753
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3755
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3758
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3759
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3760
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3761
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3765
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3766
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3767
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3768
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3770
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3771
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3772
tried. (Martin Pool)
3774
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3777
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3779
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3780
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3781
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3783
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3784
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3786
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3787
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3788
paths. (Robert Collins)
3790
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3791
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3792
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3794
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3795
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3796
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3798
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3799
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3800
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3802
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3805
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3808
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3810
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3812
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3813
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3814
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3817
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3818
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3820
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3821
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3822
check. (Robert Collins)
3824
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3825
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3829
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3830
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3832
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3833
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3834
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3835
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3837
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3838
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3839
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3840
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3841
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3843
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3844
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3845
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3847
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3849
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3850
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3857
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3858
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3860
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3861
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3862
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3865
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3866
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3868
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3869
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3870
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3871
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3872
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3874
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3875
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3876
used. (Robert Collins)
3878
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3879
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3882
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3883
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3884
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3886
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3889
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3890
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3894
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3895
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3897
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3899
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3901
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3902
tree. (Robert Collins)
3904
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3905
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3906
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3909
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3912
* Tweaks to short log printing
3914
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3917
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3918
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3920
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3921
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3923
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3924
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3926
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3927
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3928
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3930
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3931
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3933
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3934
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3937
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3938
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3940
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3941
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3943
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3944
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3946
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3949
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3950
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3952
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3953
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3955
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3956
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3957
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3961
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3963
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3965
* Error when run with -OO
3967
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3970
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3972
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3974
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3975
ignored by diff and status
3977
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3978
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3980
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3982
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3984
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3985
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3987
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3988
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3990
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3993
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3994
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3996
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3998
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3999
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4001
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4004
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4005
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4007
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4011
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4012
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4014
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4016
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4018
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4020
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4021
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4022
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4024
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4026
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4027
(John Arbash Meinel)
4029
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4031
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4032
If adding a new test script please add that to
4033
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4035
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4036
imported. (Martin Pool)
4038
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4039
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4040
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4041
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4042
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4045
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4046
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4047
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4049
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4050
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4051
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4053
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4054
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4055
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4056
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4057
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4060
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4061
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4066
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4067
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4069
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4070
function. (Robert Collins)
4072
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4073
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4074
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4076
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4077
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4080
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4081
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4082
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4083
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4084
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4085
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4086
version. (Robert Collins)
4088
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4089
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4091
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4092
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4093
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4094
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4095
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4096
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4098
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4101
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4111
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4113
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4115
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4118
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4119
query method. (Robert Collins)
4121
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4124
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4127
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4130
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4131
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4132
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4133
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4135
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4136
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4137
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4138
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4140
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4141
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4148
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4151
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4155
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4156
a separator, not ':'.
4159
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4160
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4161
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4163
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4164
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4167
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4168
has been added that suppresses all output.
4170
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4173
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4174
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4176
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4177
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4179
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4180
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4182
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4183
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4184
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4185
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4187
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4189
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4190
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4192
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4193
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4195
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4196
output directory, if one was supplied.
4198
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4199
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4200
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4201
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4203
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4205
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4206
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4208
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4209
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4210
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4212
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4213
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4215
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4218
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4220
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4224
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4225
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4226
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4228
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4229
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4230
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4232
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4233
is given. (Martin Pool)
4235
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4236
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4237
file. (Robert Collins)
4239
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4244
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4245
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4246
representation. (Martin Pool).
4248
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4249
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4250
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4252
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4255
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4256
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4259
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4260
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4261
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4262
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4263
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4265
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4266
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4267
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4268
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4269
python path. (Robert Collins)
4271
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4272
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4273
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4274
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4276
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4277
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4279
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4280
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4283
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4284
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4285
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4287
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4288
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4289
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4291
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4292
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4294
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4295
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4296
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4299
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4300
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4301
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4302
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4305
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4308
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4309
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4312
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4313
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4314
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4316
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4317
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4318
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4320
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4321
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4322
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4324
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4325
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4327
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4328
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4329
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4330
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4331
caller. (Robert Collins)
4333
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4334
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4337
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4338
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4341
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4343
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4344
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4348
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4349
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4351
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4352
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4355
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4356
--------------------
4360
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4361
allow directories to be listed.
4363
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4364
upgrading branch format.
4368
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4376
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4377
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4378
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4379
high-latency connections.
4383
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4386
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4387
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4389
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4390
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4391
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4392
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4394
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4395
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4397
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4398
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4400
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4401
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4402
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4404
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4405
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4406
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4409
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4410
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4412
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4413
different partial views of history.
4415
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4416
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4420
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4421
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4422
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4424
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4425
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4428
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4429
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4431
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4434
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4435
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4437
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4438
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4439
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4440
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4442
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4444
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4445
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4448
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4449
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4451
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4452
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4453
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4458
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4459
for your viewing pleasure.
4461
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4462
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4464
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4465
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4466
handling of such circumstances.
4468
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4469
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4470
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4472
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4474
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4475
we call them revisions not patches.
4477
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4478
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4480
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4481
giving the revision *of that file*.
4483
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4484
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4485
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4489
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4490
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4492
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4493
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4496
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4497
--------------------
4501
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4503
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4506
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4508
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4510
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4511
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4515
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4516
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4518
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4519
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4520
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4521
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4524
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4525
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4529
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4531
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4532

bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4536
--------------------
4540
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4541
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4542
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4543
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4546
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4549
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4550
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4551
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4552
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4553
for the operating system is still tried.
4555
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4556
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4557
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4562
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4566
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4568
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4571
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4577
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4579
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4582
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4583
--------------------
4587
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4588
help with intelligent shell completion.
4590
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4595
* Much better merge support.
4597
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4598
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4604
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4605
mention revisions that are not present.
4607
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4609
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4611
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4612
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4617
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4619
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4620
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4626
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4627
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4632
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4633
--------------------
4637
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4638
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4640
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4642
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4643
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4645
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4648
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4650
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4653
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4654
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4656
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4657
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4658
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4663
* Faster working tree operations.
4668
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4669
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4670
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4671
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4673
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4674
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4675
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4676
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4677
standard plugins directory.
4679
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4680
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4681
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4682
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4684
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4685
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4687
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4690
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4691
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4692
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4694
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4695
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4697
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4698
line options must come before the command name because they
4699
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4700
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4703
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4705
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4706
is available with ``--short``.
4711
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4714
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4715
---------------------
4719
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4720
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4722
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4723
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4724
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4725
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4727
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4728
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4729
with the ``--forward`` option.
4731
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4732
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4738
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4739
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4741
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4743
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4744
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4746
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4748
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4749
either read or write mode.
4751
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4753
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4756
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4758
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4759
suggested by LarstiQ.
4761
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4762
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4764
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4767
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4768
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4770
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4771
haven't changed since the previous time.
4773
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4774
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4776
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4778
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4780
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4781
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4783
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4784
options through to an external GNU diff.
4786
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4789
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4795
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4796
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4798
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4804
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4805
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4808
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4809
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4811
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4812
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4814
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4815
under a different version.
4817
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4822
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4824
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4825
Scott James Remnant.
4827
* Better help messages for many commands.
4829
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4830
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4832
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4833
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4835
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4837
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4839
* New AtomicFile class.
4841
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4846
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4847
2.4 is now only recommended.
4850
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4851
---------------------
4855
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4856
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4858
* More default ignore patterns.
4860
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4861
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4863
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4865
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4868
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4873
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4874
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4875
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4876
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4877
there are DNS problems.
4879
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4884
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4886
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4888
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4889
trailing newlines properly.
4894
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4897
* More tests in test.sh.
4899
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4900
directory and delete it when done.
4902
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4907
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4910
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4914
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4915
---------------------
4919
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4922
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4924
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4927
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4930
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4932
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4936
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4937
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4942
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4943
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4948
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4952
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4960
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4963
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4964
-----------------------------------
4968
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4970
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4971
rather than replacing it.
4973
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4977
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4980
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4981
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4983
* Performance improvements.
4985
* New global --profile option.
4987
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4988
the root directory only.
4991
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4992
---------------------
4996
* More information from info command.
4998
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5000
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5001
committing to stores.
5003
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5007
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5011
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5012
installation easier.
5014
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5018
