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``.
22
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
25
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
26
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
30
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
33
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
34
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
35
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
37
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
39
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
40
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
41
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
42
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
43
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
45
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
46
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
47
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
49
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
50
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
52
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
55
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
57
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
59
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
62
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
63
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
67
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
68
(Martin Pool, #180208)
70
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
71
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
73
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
76
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
77
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
79
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
80
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
82
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
83
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
85
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
86
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
88
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
89
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
90
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
92
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
93
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
95
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
96
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
99
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
101
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
102
user:pass embedded in the urls.
103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
105
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
106
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
108
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
111
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
114
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
115
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
117
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
120
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
121
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
124
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
125
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
130
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
133
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
134
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
135
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
136
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
137
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
138
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
140
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
144
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
147
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
148
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
150
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
152
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
153
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
154
``get_parents`` is now considered deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
156
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
157
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
159
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
166
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
167
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
168
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
170
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
171
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
174
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
175
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
177
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
178
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
180
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
181
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
183
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
184
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
185
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
187
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
188
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
190
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
191
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
193
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
194
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
197
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
198
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
200
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
201
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
209
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
211
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
214
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
216
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
217
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
221
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
222
---------------------
226
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
227
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
228
by mail to the mailing list.
233
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
235
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
236
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
237
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
238
feedback but also incur more latency.
239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
241
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
242
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
246
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
248
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
253
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
254
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
255
wraps its output in a StringIO.
259
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
260
---------------------
264
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
266
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
269
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
272
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
273
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
274
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
275
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
277
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
280
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
281
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
283
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
284
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
285
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
287
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
288
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
289
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
290
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
291
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
292
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
293
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
294
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
295
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
299
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
302
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
306
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
307
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
309
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
311
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
313
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
314
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
318
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
319
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
321
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
322
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
326
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
327
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
330
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
331
---------------------
333
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
335
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
336
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
337
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
338
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
340
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
341
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
343
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
344
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
346
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
347
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
348
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
349
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
350
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
351
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
352
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
353
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
354
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
355
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
356
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
357
from any tree without problems.
358
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
362
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
363
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
364
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
366
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
367
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
368
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
373
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
374
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
375
supported transports.
378
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
379
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
380
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
382
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
383
(Robert Collins, #154173)
385
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
386
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
387
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
388
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
390
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
391
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
395
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
396
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
397
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
398
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
400
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
401
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
402
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
403
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
405
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
406
(Robert Collins, #88319)
408
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
409
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
411
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
412
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
414
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
415
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
420
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
423
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
424
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
427
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
428
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
429
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
430
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
432
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
433
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
434
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
435
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
441
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
442
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
444
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
445
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
447
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
448
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
450
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
453
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
454
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
456
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
457
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
459
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
462
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
465
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
466
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
468
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
469
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
470
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
472
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
473
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
475
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
476
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
478
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
479
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
481
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
484
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
485
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
486
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
487
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
489
(Martin Pool, #164637)
491
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
492
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
495
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
496
(Robert Collins, #161240)
498
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
500
(Martin Pool, #164443)
502
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
503
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
505
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
506
specify a port in urls.
507
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
509
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
510
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
512
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
513
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
515
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
516
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
518
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
519
(Robert Collins, #153789)
521
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
522
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
523
(Robert Collins, #165304).
525
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
527
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
528
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
530
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
533
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
534
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
536
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
537
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
539
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
540
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
541
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
543
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
544
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
546
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
547
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
548
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
549
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
551
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
552
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
554
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
555
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
556
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
558
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
559
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
561
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
562
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
564
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
565
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
569
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
570
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
572
* The return value of
573
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
574
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
575
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
576
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
578
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
581
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
582
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
588
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
589
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
590
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
593
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
594
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
596
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
606
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
609
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
610
----------------------
612
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
616
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
617
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
619
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
620
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
621
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
622
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
623
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
624
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
625
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
626
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
627
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
628
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
629
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
630
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
635
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
636
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
637
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
638
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
639
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
640
for further details. (Robert Collins)
642
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
643
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
644
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
647
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
649
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
650
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
652
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
653
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
656
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
657
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
658
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
662
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
663
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
665
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
666
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
668
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
669
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
670
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
671
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
673
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
676
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
677
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
678
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
679
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
681
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
682
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
684
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
685
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
687
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
688
the contents. (Robert Collins)
690
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
691
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
695
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
696
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
698
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
699
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
701
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
702
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
704
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
705
(Martin Pool, #63894)
707
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
708
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
712
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
714
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
719
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
720
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
721
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
723
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
724
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
726
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
727
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
729
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
730
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
731
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
732
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
734
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
735
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
736
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
737
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
738
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
740
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
741
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
743
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
745
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
747
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
748
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
750
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
751
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
753
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
756
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
757
contains a symbolic link.
758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
760
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
761
(James Westby, #140615)
763
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
764
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
767
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
768
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
769
(Martin Pool, #144633)
771
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
773
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
776
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
780
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
781
directory to detect leaking tests.
782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
784
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
785
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
786
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
788
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
791
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
792
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
794
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
799
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
800
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
802
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
803
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
804
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
806
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
807
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
808
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
810
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
811
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
813
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
814
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
816
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
817
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
820
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
821
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
823
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
827
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
828
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
830
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
831
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
832
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
834
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
835
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
836
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
839
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
840
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
841
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
842
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
847
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
848
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
849
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
851
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
852
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
853
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
854
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
856
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
857
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
860
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
861
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
862
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
864
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
865
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
866
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
868
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
869
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
871
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
872
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
873
to complete. (Robert Collins)
875
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
876
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
878
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
879
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
880
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
882
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
883
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
884
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
886
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
887
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
888
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
889
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
891
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
892
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
893
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
894
returned. (Robert Collins)
896
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
897
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
899
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
900
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
901
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
902
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
905
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
906
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
910
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
911
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
913
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
914
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
915
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
916
makes this behavior available to other users.
919
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
920
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
928
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
929
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
930
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
932
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
934
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
935
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
936
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
937
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
939
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
940
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
944
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
945
----------------------
947
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
951
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
952
----------------------
956
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
957
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
958
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
959
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
962
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
963
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
964
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
969
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
970
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
971
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
974
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
975
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
976
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
978
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
979
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
980
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
982
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
983
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
985
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
986
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
987
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
988
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
989
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
990
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
991
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
992
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
993
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
994
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
996
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
997
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
999
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1000
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1001
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1005
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1006
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1008
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1009
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1010
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1012
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1013
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1015
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1016
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1018
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1021
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1022
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1024
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1025
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1027
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1028
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1030
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1031
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1033
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1035
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1038
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1039
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1040
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1041
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1043
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1045
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1046
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1049
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1050
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1052
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1053
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1056
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1057
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1059
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1060
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1062
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1063
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1064
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1065
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1066
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1067
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1068
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1070
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1071
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1073
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1074
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1076
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1077
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1079
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1082
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1086
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1087
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1089
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1090
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1091
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1093
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1094
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1095
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1099
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1100
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1102
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1105
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1108
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1109
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1111
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1113
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1114
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1116
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1117
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1119
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1120
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1121
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1122
space). (Robert Collins)
1124
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1125
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1128
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1129
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1131
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1132
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1134
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1135
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1136
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1137
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1139
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1140
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1141
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1144
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1147
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1148
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1149
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1151
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1152
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1153
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1154
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1155
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1159
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1160
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1162
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1163
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1164
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1165
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1166
affected. (Robert Collins)
1168
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1169
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1170
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1173
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1174
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1178
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1179
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1181
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1182
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1184
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1185
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1187
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1190
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1191
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1195
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1196
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1197
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1198
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1200
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1201
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1203
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1204
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1205
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1206
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1208
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1209
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1210
present. (Robert Collins)
1212
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1213
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1214
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1215
API. (Robert Collins)
1217
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1218
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1221
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1222
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1224
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1225
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1226
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1227
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1228
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1229
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1231
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1232
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1233
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1235
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1236
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1237
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1238
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1241
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1244
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1245
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1246
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1247
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1248
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1249
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1250
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1252
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1253
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1254
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1255
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1257
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1258
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1259
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1260
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1261
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1262
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1264
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1265
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1266
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1268
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1269
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1277
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1278
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1279
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1280
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1281
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1282
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1283
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1284
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1289
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1290
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1291
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1294
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1295
----------------------
1299
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1300
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1301
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1302
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1303
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1305
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1308
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1312
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1313
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1316
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1317
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1320
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1323
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1324
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1326
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1327
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1329
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1330
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1332
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1333
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1335
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1336
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1338
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1343
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1344
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1346
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1347
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1349
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1350
the repository (Robert Collins)
1352
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1353
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1354
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1355
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1356
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1358
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1359
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1361
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1362
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1363
(John Arbash Meinel)
1365
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1366
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1367
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1369
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1370
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1371
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1372
(John Arbash Meinel)
1374
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1375
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1378
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1379
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1381
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1384
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1386
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1388
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1389
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1391
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1392
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1395
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1396
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1397
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1398
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1400
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1401
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1402
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1404
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1405
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1406
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1408
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1409
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1411
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1412
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1413
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1414
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1415
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1416
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1419
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1420
(Alexander Belchenko)
1422
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1423
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1425
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1426
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1428
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1430
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1431
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1435
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1436
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1437
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1438
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1440
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1442
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1445
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1446
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1447
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1448
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1449
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1450
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1454
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1455
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1456
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1457
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1459
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1460
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1461
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1462
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1463
tests have been refactored too.
1466
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1467
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1468
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1472
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1473
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1474
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1476
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1477
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1478
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1479
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1480
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1481
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1482
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1484
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1485
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1486
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1487
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1488
(John Arbash Meinel)
1490
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1491
functionality for testing.
1493
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1495
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1496
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1498
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1500
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1503
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1504
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1506
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1507
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1508
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1510
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1513
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1514
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1516
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1517
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1518
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1519
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1521
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1522
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1524
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1525
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1526
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1528
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1531
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1532
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1533
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1534
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1535
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1536
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1538
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1539
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1540
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1541
many files. (Robert Collins)
1543
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1544
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1545
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1546
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1550
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1551
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1552
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1554
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1555
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1557
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1558
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1559
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1563
--------------------
1567
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1570
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1571
-----------------------
1575
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1576
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1578
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1579
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1580
(James Westby, #122656)
1582
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1583
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1585
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1586
authentication header.
1587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1589
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1591
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1592
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1594
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1596
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1597
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1599
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1600
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1603
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1604
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1605
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1607
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1608
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1610
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1613
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1614
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1616
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1618
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1622
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1623
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1624
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1625
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1626
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1627
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1629
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1630
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1631
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1633
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1636
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1637
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1639
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1640
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1642
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1643
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1645
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1646
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1647
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1648
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1649
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1651
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1652
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1654
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1655
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1656
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1658
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1659
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1661
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1663
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1664
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1666
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1667
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1670
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1673
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1674
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1676
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1677
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1679
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1680
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1682
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1684
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1685
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1687
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1692
* Testing cleanups -
1693
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1694
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1695
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1696
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1697
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1698
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1699
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1700
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1701
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1702
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1703
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1704
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1705
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1706
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1707
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1708
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1709
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1712
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1714
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1715
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1716
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1718
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1719
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1721
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1722
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1724
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1726
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1727
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1728
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1729
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1730
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1731
same location. (Robert Collins)
1735
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1737
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1739
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1741
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1744
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1747
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1748
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1749
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1751
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1753
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1754
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1755
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1757
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1758
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1760
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1761
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1762
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1764
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1765
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1766
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1768
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1769
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1770
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1772
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1773
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1776
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1777
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1779
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1780
(Alexander Belchenko)
1784
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1785
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1786
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1787
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1789
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1790
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1791
testing. (Robert Collins)
1793
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1794
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1796
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1797
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1798
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1799
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1800
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1801
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1802
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1804
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1805
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1806
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1807
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1809
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1810
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1812
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1813
avoid useless cloning.
1814
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1818
--------------------
1822
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1823
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1825
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1826

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1830
-----------------------
1832
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1834
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1835
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1836
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1837
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1838
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1839
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1840
and unlock() like so::
1842
work_tree.lock_read()
1844
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1849
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1850
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1852
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1853
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1854
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1856
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1857
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1858
too. (Robert Collins)
1862
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1863
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1866
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1867
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1869
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1870
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1872
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1873
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1874
understanding what changes have occurred
1875
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1877
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1878
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1879
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1881
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1882
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1883
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1884
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1886
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1891
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1892
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1893
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1894
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1895
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1897
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1898
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1899
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1901
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1904
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1906
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1908
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1909
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1911
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1912
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1914
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1915
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1917
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1918
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1920
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1921
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1923
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1924
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1925
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1928
--------------------
1932
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1933
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1934
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1935
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1936
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1938
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1939
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1940
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1942
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1943
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1947
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1948
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1949
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1951
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1952
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1953
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1954
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1956
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1957
-----------------------
1961
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1962
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1963
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1964
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1966
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1967
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1968
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1970
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1971
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1973
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1974
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1976
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1977
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1979
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1980
-----------------------
1982
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1984
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1985
it could be recovered again.
1986
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1987
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1988
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1990
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1992
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1993
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1997
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1998
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2000
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2001
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2002
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2003
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2005
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2006
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2008
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2009
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2010
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2012
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2013
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2014
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2016
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2017
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2018
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2020
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2021
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2024
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2027
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2028
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2029
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2030
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2032
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2035
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2036
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2037
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2040
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2041
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2043
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2044
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2046
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2047
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2048
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2049
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2052
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2053
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2055
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2056
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2058
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2059
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2060
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2062
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2063
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2064
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2066
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2067
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2068
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2070
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2071
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2072
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2073
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2075
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2076
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2077
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2078
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2080
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2081
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2082
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2083
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2084
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2085
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2086
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2087
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2093
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2094
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2096
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2097
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2098
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2099
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2100
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2102
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2103
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2105
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2106
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2108
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2109
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2111
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2112
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2114
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2115
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2116
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2119
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2120
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2121
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2122
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2123
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2126
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2127
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2128
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2130
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2131
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2134
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2135
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2136
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2139
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2140
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2141
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2142
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2143
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2145
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2146
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2147
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2148
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2150
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2151
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2153
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2154
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2155
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2156
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2157
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2158
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2160
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2161
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2163
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2164
help. (Robert Collins)
2166
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2167
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2169
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2170
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2171
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2172
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2173
(John Arbash Meinel)
2175
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2176
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2177
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2178
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2179
useful. (Robert Collins)
2181
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2186
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2187
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2189
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2190
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2192
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2193
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2194
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2196
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2199
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2200
the file, and does it faster.
2201
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2203
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2204
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2205
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2207
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2208
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2209
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2210
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2212
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2213
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2214
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2215
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2217
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2218
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2220
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2221
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2222
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2223
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2226
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2228
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2229
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2231
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2232
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2234
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2235
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2236
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2237
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2241
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2246
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2247
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2248
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2250
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2251
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2253
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2254
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2255
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2256
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2257
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2258
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2259
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2260
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2262
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2263
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2264
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2266
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2267
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2268
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2269
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2270
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2272
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2274
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2275
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2276
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2278
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2279
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2287
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2290
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2291
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2294
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2295
-----------------------
2299
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2300
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2305
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2306
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2307
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2308
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2309
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2310
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2311
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2312
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2317
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2318
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2319
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2321
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2322
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2325
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2326
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2327
(John Arbash Meinel)
2329
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2330
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2331
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2332
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2333
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2337
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2340
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2341
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2343
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2344
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2346
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2347
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2348
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2350
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2351
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2353
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2354
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2355
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2356
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2357
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2359
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2360
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2361
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2363
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2366
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2367
-----------------------
2369
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2371
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2372
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2373
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2377
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2378
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2380
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2381
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2383
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2385
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2386
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2388
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2389
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2393
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2398
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2399
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2400
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2401
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2403
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2404
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2406
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2407
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2409
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2412
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2413
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2416
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2417
-----------------------
2421
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2422
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2423
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2424
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2425
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2426
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2428
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2429
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2430
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2431
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2432
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2433
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2435
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2437
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2438
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2439
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2440
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2441
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2442
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2443
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2444
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2448
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2449
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2451
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2452
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2453
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2454
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2456
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2457
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2458
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2459
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2460
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2462
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2465
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2468
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2471
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2472
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2475
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2478
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2479
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2481
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2482
directory. (Martin Pool)
2484
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2485
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2486
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2487
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2489
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2490
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2491
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2492
in docs/configuration.txt.
2494
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2495
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2498
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2499
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2500
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2501
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2502
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2503
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2505
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2506
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2508
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2509
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2511
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2516
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2517
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2518
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2519
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2520
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2521
(John Arbash Meinel)
2523
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2524
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2527
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2528
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2529
(John Arbash Meinel)
2531
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2532
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2533
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2534
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2535
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2536
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2538
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2539
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2540
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2542
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2543
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2544
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2545
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2547
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2549
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2550
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2551
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2552
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2554
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2555
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2556
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2557
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2559
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2560
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2561
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2563
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2564
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2565
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2567
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2568
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2569
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2570
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2572
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2573
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2574
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2576
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2577
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2578
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2580
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2581
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2582
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2583
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2584
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2585
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2586
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2587
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2588
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2589
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2590
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2594
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2595
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2596
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2598
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2601
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2602
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2603
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2604
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2606
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2607
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2610
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2611
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2613
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2615
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2616
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2617
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2619
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2620
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2622
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2625
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2628
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2629
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2631
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2633
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2634
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2638
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2639
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2643
--------------------
2647
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2651
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2652
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2653
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2655
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2656
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2657
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2660
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2661
-----------------------
2665
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2666
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2667
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2668
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2670
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2673
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2674
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2675
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2677
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2678
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2680
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2683
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2684
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2685
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2686
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2687
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2688
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2690
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2691
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2692
should enable you to do::
2694
[/home/user/project]
2695
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2696
push_location:policy = appendpath
2698
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2699
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2702
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2703
for each file. For example::
2705
$ bzr status --short
2711
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2712
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2714
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2716
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2717
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2719
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2723
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2724
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2725
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2726
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2728
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2729
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2730
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2732
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2734
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2735
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2736
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2737
(Alexander Belchenko)
2739
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2742
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2743
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2745
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2749
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2750
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2752
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2753
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2754
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2755
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2756
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2758
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2759
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2761
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2762
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2764
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2766
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2768
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2769
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2770
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2771
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2772
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2774
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2775
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2776
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2777
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2779
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2780
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2782
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2783
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2785
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2786
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2788
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2789
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
2793
--------------------
2795
No changes from 0.13rc1
2797
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2798
-----------------------
2802
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2804
(Daniel Silverstone)
2806
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2807
operations are substantially faster.
2808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2810
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2811
tree from some other url. For example:
2812
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2813
(Daniel Silverstone)
2815
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2816
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2817
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2818
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2820
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2823
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2824
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2825
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2826
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2827
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2828
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2832
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2833
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2836
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2837
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2838
(John Arbash Meinel)
2840
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2841
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2842
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2843
(John Arbash Meinel)
2845
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2846
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2848
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2849
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2851
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2852
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2857
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2858
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2859
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2861
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2862
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2863
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2864
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2866
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2868
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2869
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2871
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2872
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2873
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2874
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2876
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2877
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2878
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2880
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2881
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2882
them as full references rather than integers.
2883
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2885
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2886
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2888
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2890
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2891
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2893
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2894
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2896
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2897
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2898
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2899
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2901
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2902
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2903
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2905
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2906
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2908
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2909
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2910
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2911
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2912
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2916
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2917
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2920
--------------------
2924
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2925
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2926
(John Arbash Meinel)
2928
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2929
-----------------------
2933
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2934
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2935
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2936
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2938
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2939
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2941
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2943
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2944
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2945
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2946
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2948
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2949
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2950
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2951
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2952
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2954
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2956
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2957
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2961
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2962
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2963
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2965
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2966
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2967
(John Arbash Meinel)
2969
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2970
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2971
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2973
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2974
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2977
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2978
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2979
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2981
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2982
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2983
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2984
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2985
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2986
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2988
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2989
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2990
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2993
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2994
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2998
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2999
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3000
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3003
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3004
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3006
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3007
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3008
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3010
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3011
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3013
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3014
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3015
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3016
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3018
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3019
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3021
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3022
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3023
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3025
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3026
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3028
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3030
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3031
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3036
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3037
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3038
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3039
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3041
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3042
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3043
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3046
--------------------
3048
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3050
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3051
-----------------------
3055
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3057
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3060
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3061
-----------------------
3065
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3066
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3067
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3068
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3069
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3070
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3071
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3073
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3074
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3075
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3077
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3079
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3080
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3082
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3083
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3084
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3087
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3088
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3089
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3090
(John Arbash Meinel)
3092
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3093
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3094
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3095
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3098
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3099
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3100
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3101
(John Arbash Meinel)
3105
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3106
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3108
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3110
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3111
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3112
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3114
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3115
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3117
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3118
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3120
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3123
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3124
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3126
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3128
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3129
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3131
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3132
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3134
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3135
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3137
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3138
(John Arbash Meinel)
3140
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3141
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3142
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3144
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3145
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3147
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3148
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3149
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3150
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3152
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3153
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3154
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3156
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3157
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3161
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3165
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3166
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3167
(John Arbash Meinel)
3169
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3170
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3171
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3172
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3174
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3177
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3178
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3179
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3181
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3182
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3184
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3185
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3186
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3188
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3189
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3190
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3191
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3192
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3193
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3194
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3195
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3196
caller to repeat their request.
3197
(John Arbash Meinel)
3199
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3200
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3202
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3203
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3205
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3206
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3207
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3208
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3209
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3210
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3211
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3213
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3214
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3215
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3216
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3217
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3218
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3219
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3220
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3223
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3224
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3225
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3227
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3228
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3230
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3231
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3233
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3234
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3238
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3239
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3241
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3242
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3243
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3245
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3246
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3247
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3250
--------------------
3253
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3254
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3256
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3257
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3258
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3259
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3260
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3262
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3263
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3264
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3266
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3267
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3269
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3270
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3271
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3275
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3277
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3278
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3279
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3281
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3283
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3285
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3286
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3287
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3288
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3290
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3291
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3292
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3293
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3294
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3296
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3297
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3299
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3300
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3302
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3303
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3305
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3306
in handling of revision properties.
3307
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3309
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3310
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3314
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3315
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3316
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3317
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3318
(John Arbash Meinel)
3320
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3321
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3322
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3324
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3325
---------------------
3329
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3330
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3331
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3332
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3333
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3334
a more conservative list than the old default.
3335
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3336
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3337
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3338
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3340
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3341
to more locations than just branch locations.
3346
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3347
revno:N:branch. For example,
3348
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3349
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3351
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3352
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3353
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3354
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3355
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3356
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3357
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3358
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3361
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3362
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3363
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3366
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3367
(Alexander Belchenko)
3369
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3371
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3374
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3375
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3376
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3377
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3378
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3379
(John Arbash Meinel)
3381
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3382
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3383
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3384
grained analysis of performance.
3385
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3387
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3388
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3390
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3391
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3392
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3393
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3394
file. (Robert Collins).
3396
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3397
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3398
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3400
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3401
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3404
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3405
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3407
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3408
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3409
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3410
the same way you would apply another branch.
3411
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3413
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3414
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3416
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3419
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3422
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3423
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3424
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3426
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3427
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3428
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3430
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3431
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3433
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3434
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3435
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3436
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3437
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3439
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3440
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3442
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3443
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3444
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3445
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3446
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3447
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3448
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3449
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3451
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3452
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3453
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3457
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3459
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3461
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3462
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3464
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3465
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3467
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3468
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3470
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3472
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3473
(John Arbash Meinel)
3475
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3476
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3478
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3479
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3482
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3483
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3485
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3486
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3488
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3489
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3490
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3491
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3493
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3494
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3496
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3498
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3499
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3501
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3503
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3505
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3506
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3508
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3509
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3511
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3512
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3513
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3515
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3516
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3517
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3519
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3520
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3522
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3523
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3525
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3526
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3528
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3529
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3531
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3532
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3534
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3535
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3536
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3538
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3540
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3541
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3545
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3546
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3547
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3549
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3550
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3552
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3553
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3554
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3556
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3557
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3559
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3560
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3563
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3564
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3565
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3567
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3568
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3569
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3571
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3572
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3573
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3575
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3576
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3577
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3579
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3580
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3581
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3583
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3584
instead. (Robert Collins)
3586
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3588
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3589
---------------------
3593
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3595
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3596
---------------------
3600
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3601
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3603
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3604
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3606
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3607
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3608
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3612
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3614
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3615
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3617
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3621
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3622
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3623
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3624
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3628
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3629
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3630
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3634
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3635
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3636
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3640
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3641
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3646
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3648
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3649
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3650
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3651
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3652
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3653
will keep the same format.
3655
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3656
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3657
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3658
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3659
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3661
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3662
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3663
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3664
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3665
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3666
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3667
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3669
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3670
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3671
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3672
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3673
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3675
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3676
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3677
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3683
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3684
convention. Paths now take the form::
3686
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3688
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3690
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3691
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3693
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3694
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3695
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3697
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3698
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3699
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3700
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3702
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3703
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3704
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3706
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3708
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3710
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3711
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3714
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3715
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3718
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3720
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3721
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3722
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3725
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3727
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3729
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3732
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3733
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3735
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3736
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3739
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3740
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3743
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3745
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3747
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3748
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3750
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3751
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3752
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3753
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3754
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3755
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3757
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3759
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3760
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3763
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3764
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3766
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3767
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3769
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3771
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3772
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3773
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3774
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3775
specification by Martin Pool.
3776
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3778
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3781
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3782
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3784
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3785
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3786
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3788
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3790
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3791
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3796
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3797
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3799
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3801
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3803
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3806
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3807
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3808
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3809
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3813
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3814
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3815
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3816
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3818
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3819
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3820
tried. (Martin Pool)
3822
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3825
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3827
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3828
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3829
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3831
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3832
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3834
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3835
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3836
paths. (Robert Collins)
3838
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3839
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3840
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3842
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3843
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3844
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3846
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3847
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3848
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3850
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3853
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3856
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3858
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3860
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3861
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3862
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3865
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3866
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3868
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3869
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3870
check. (Robert Collins)
3872
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3873
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3877
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3878
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3880
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3881
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3882
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3883
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3885
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3886
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3887
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3888
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3889
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3891
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3892
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3893
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3895
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3897
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3898
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3905
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3906
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3908
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3909
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3910
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3913
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3914
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3916
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3917
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3918
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3919
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3920
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3922
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3923
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3924
used. (Robert Collins)
3926
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3927
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3930
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3931
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3932
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3934
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3937
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3938
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3942
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3943
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3945
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3947
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3949
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3950
tree. (Robert Collins)
3952
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3953
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3954
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3957
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3960
* Tweaks to short log printing
3962
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3965
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3966
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3968
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3969
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3971
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3972
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3974
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3975
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3976
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3978
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3979
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3981
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3982
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3985
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3986
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3988
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3989
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3991
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3992
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3994
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3997
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3998
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4000
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4001
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4003
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4004
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4005
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4009
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4011
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4013
* Error when run with -OO
4015
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4018
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4020
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4022
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4023
ignored by diff and status
4025
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4026
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4028
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4030
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4032
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4033
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4035
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4036
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4038
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4041
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4042
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4044
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4046
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4047
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4049
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4052
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4053
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4055
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4059
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4060
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4062
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4064
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4066
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4068
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4069
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4070
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4072
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4074
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4075
(John Arbash Meinel)
4077
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4079
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4080
If adding a new test script please add that to
4081
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4083
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4084
imported. (Martin Pool)
4086
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4087
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4088
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4089
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4090
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4093
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4094
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4095
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4097
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4098
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4099
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4101
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4102
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4103
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4104
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4105
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4108
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4109
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4114
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4115
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4117
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4118
function. (Robert Collins)
4120
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4121
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4122
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4124
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4125
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4128
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4129
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4130
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4131
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4132
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4133
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4134
version. (Robert Collins)
4136
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4137
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4139
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4140
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4141
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4142
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4143
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4144
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4146
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4149
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4159
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4161
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4163
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4166
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4167
query method. (Robert Collins)
4169
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4172
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4175
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4178
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4179
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4180
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4181
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4183
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4184
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4185
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4186
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4188
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4189
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4196
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4199
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4203
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4204
a separator, not ':'.
4207
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4208
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4209
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4211
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4212
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4215
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4216
has been added that suppresses all output.
4218
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4221
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4222
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4224
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4225
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4227
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4228
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4230
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4231
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4232
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4233
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4235
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4237
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4238
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4240
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4241
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4243
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4244
output directory, if one was supplied.
4246
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4247
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4248
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4249
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4251
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4253
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4254
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4256
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4257
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4258
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4260
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4261
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4263
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4266
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4268
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4272
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4273
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4274
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4276
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4277
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4278
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4280
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4281
is given. (Martin Pool)
4283
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4284
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4285
file. (Robert Collins)
4287
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4292
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4293
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4294
representation. (Martin Pool).
4296
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4297
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4298
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4300
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4303
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4304
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4307
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4308
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4309
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4310
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4311
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4313
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4314
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4315
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4316
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4317
python path. (Robert Collins)
4319
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4320
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4321
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4322
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4324
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4325
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4327
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4328
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4331
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4332
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4333
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4335
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4336
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4337
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4339
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4340
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4342
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4343
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4344
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4347
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4348
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4349
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4350
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4353
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4356
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4357
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4360
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4361
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4362
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4364
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4365
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4366
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4368
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4369
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4370
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4372
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4373
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4375
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4376
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4377
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4378
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4379
caller. (Robert Collins)
4381
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4382
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4385
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4386
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4389
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4391
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4392
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4396
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4397
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4399
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4400
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4403
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4404
--------------------
4408
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4409
allow directories to be listed.
4411
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4412
upgrading branch format.
4416
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4424
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4425
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4426
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4427
high-latency connections.
4431
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4434
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4435
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4437
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4438
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4439
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4440
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4442
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4443
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4445
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4446
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4448
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4449
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4450
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4452
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4453
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4454
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4457
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4458
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4460
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4461
different partial views of history.
4463
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4464
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4468
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4469
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4470
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4472
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4473
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4476
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4477
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4479
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4482
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4483
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4485
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4486
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4487
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4488
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4490
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4492
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4493
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4496
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4497
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4499
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4500
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4501
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4506
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4507
for your viewing pleasure.
4509
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4510
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4512
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4513
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4514
handling of such circumstances.
4516
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4517
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4518
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4520
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4522
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4523
we call them revisions not patches.
4525
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4526
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4528
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4529
giving the revision *of that file*.
4531
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4532
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4533
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4537
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4538
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4540
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4541
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4544
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4545
--------------------
4549
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4551
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4554
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4556
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4558
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4559
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4563
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4564
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4566
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4567
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4568
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4569
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4572
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4573
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4577
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4579
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4580
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4583
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4584
--------------------
4588
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4589
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4590
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4591
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4594
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4597
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4598
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4599
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4600
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4601
for the operating system is still tried.
4603
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4604
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4605
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4610
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4614
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4616
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4619
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4625
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4627
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4630
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4631
--------------------
4635
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4636
help with intelligent shell completion.
4638
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4643
* Much better merge support.
4645
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4646
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4652
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4653
mention revisions that are not present.
4655
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4657
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4659
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4660
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4665
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4667
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4668
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4674
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4675
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4680
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4681
--------------------
4685
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4686
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4688
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4690
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4691
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4693
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4696
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4698
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4701
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4702
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4704
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4705
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4706
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4711
* Faster working tree operations.
4716
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4717
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4718
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4719
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4721
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4722
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4723
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4724
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4725
standard plugins directory.
4727
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4728
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4729
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4730
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4732
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4733
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4735
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4738
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4739
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4740
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4742
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4743
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4745
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4746
line options must come before the command name because they
4747
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4748
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4751
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4753
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4754
is available with ``--short``.
4759
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4762
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4763
---------------------
4767
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4768
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4770
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4771
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4772
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4773
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4775
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4776
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4777
with the ``--forward`` option.
4779
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4780
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4786
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4787
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4789
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4791
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4792
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4794
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4796
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4797
either read or write mode.
4799
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4801
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4804
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4806
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4807
suggested by LarstiQ.
4809
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4810
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4812
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4815
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4816
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4818
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4819
haven't changed since the previous time.
4821
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4822
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4824
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4826
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4828
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4829
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4831
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4832
options through to an external GNU diff.
4834
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4837
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4843
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4844
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4846
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4852
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4853
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4856
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4857
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4859
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4860
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4862
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4863
under a different version.
4865
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4870
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4872
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4873
Scott James Remnant.
4875
* Better help messages for many commands.
4877
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4878
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4880
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4881
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4883
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4885
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4887
* New AtomicFile class.
4889
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4894
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4895
2.4 is now only recommended.
4898
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4899
---------------------
4903
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4904
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4906
* More default ignore patterns.
4908
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4909
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4911
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4913
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4916
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4921
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4922
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4923
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4924
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4925
there are DNS problems.
4927
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4932
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4934
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4936
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4937
trailing newlines properly.
4942
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4945
* More tests in test.sh.
4947
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4948
directory and delete it when done.
4950
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4955
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4958
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4962
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4963
---------------------
4967
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4970
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4972
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4975
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4978
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4980
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4984
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4985
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4990
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4991
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4996
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5000
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
5008
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
5011
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5012
-----------------------------------
5016
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5018
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5019
rather than replacing it.
5021
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5025
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5028
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5029
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5031
* Performance improvements.
5033
* New global --profile option.
5035
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5036
the root directory only.
5039
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5040
---------------------
5044
* More information from info command.
5046
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5048
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5049
committing to stores.
5051
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5055
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5059
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5060
installation easier.
5062
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5066
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
5067
------------------------
5071
* First public release.
5073
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
