IN DEVELOPMENT
8
--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
13
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
14
15
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
16
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
17
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
18
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
19
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
20
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
21
(Aaron Bentley)
22
23
FEATURES:
24
25
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
26
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
27
28
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
29
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
30
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
31
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
32
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
33
34
IMPROVEMENTS:
35
36
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
37
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
38
39
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
40
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
41
42
BUGFIXES:
43
44
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
45
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
46
47
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
48
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
49
50
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
51
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
52
53
API BREAKS:
54
55
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
56
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
57
58
INTERNALS:
59
60
* Add -Dtimes debug flag, which records a timestamp against each mutter to
61
the trace file, relative to the first mutter. (Andrew Bennetts)
62
63
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
64
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
65
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
66
67
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
68
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
69
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
70
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
71
72
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
73
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
74
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
75
server. (Robert Collins)
76
77
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
78
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
79
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
80
81
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
82
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
83
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
84
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
85
86
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
87
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
88
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
89
90
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
91
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
92
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
93
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
94
95
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
96
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
97

bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
100
------------------
101
102
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
103
104
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
105
---------------------
106
107
CHANGES:
108
109
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
110
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
111
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
112
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
113
114
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
115
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
116
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
117
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
118
119
FEATURES:
120
121
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
122
(Lukáš Lalinský)
123
124
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
125
(Aaron Bentley)
126
127
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
128
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
129
130
IMPROVEMENTS:
131
132
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
133
#90049)
134
135
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
136
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
137
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
138
139
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
140
141
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
142
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
143
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
144
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
145
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
146
147
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
148
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
149
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
150
151
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
152
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
153
154
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
155
(Vincent Ladeuil)
156
157
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
158
159
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
160
161
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
162
(Aaron Bentley)
163
164
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
165
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
166
167
BUGFIXES:
168
169
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
170
(Martin Pool, #180208)
171
172
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
173
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
174
175
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
176
(Aaron Bentley)
177
178
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
179
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
180
181
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
182
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
183
184
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
185
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
186
187
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
188
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
189
190
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
191
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
192
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
193
194
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
196
197
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
198
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
199
(Aaron Bentley)
200
201
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
202
203
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
204
user:pass embedded in the urls.
205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
206
207
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
208
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
209
210
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
211
(Aaron Bentley)
212
213
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
214
#148087)
215
216
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
217
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
218
219
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
220
#137681)
221
222
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
223
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
224
(Aaron Bentley)
225
226
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
227
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
229
230
DOCUMENTATION:
231
232
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
233
(Ian Clatworthy)
234
235
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
236
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
237
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
238
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
239
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
240
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
241
242
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
243
244
INTERNALS:
245
246
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
247
(Aaron Bentley)
248
249
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
250
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
251
252
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
253
254
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
255
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
256
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
257
Robert Collins)
258
259
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
260
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
261
262
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
263
(Vincent Ladeuil)
264
265
API BREAKS:
266
267
TESTING:
268
269
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
270
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
271
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
272
273
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
274
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
275
(Robert Collins)
276
277
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
278
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
279
280
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
281
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
282
283
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
284
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
285
286
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
287
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
288
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
289
290
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
291
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
292
293
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
294
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
295
296
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
297
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
298
(Vincent Ladeuil)
299
300
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
301
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
302
303
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
304
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
305
306
307
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
308
------------------
309
310
DOCUMENTATION:
311
312
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
313
314
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
315
(Ian Clatworthy)
316
317
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
318
319
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
320
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
321
(Ian Clatworthy)
322
323
324
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
325
---------------------
326
327
CHANGES:
328
329
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
330
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
331
by mail to the mailing list.
332
(Martin Pool)
333
334
BUGFIXES:
335
336
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
337
338
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
339
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
340
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
341
feedback but also incur more latency.
342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
343
344
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
345
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
346
347
DOCUMENTATION:
348
349
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
350
351
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
352
(Ian Clatworthy)
353
354
INTERNALS:
355
356
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
357
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
358
wraps its output in a StringIO.
359
(Vincent Ladeuil)
360
361
362
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
363
---------------------
364
365
IMPROVEMENTS:
366
367
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
368
369
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
370
(Aaron Bentley)
371
372
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
373
Nordhoff, #172612)
374
375
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
376
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
377
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
378
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
379
380
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
381
(Kent Gibson)
382
383
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
384
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
385
386
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
387
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
388
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
389
390
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
391
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
392
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
393
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
394
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
395
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
396
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
397
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
398
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
399
400
INTERNALS:
401
402
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
403
(Vincent Ladeuil)
404
405
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
406
407
BUGFIXES:
408
409
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
410
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
411
412
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
413
filename to user.
414
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
415
416
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
417
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
418
required.
419
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
420
421
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
422
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
423
424
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
425
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
426
427
API BREAKS:
428
429
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
430
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
431
432
433
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
434
---------------------
435
436
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
437
438
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
439
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
440
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
441
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
442
443
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
444
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
445
446
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
447
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
448
449
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
450
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
451
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
452
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
453
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
454
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
455
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
456
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
457
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
458
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
459
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
460
from any tree without problems.
461
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)

CHANGES:
464
465
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
466
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
467
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
468
469
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
470
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
471
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
472
(Martin Pool)
473
474
FEATURES:
475
476
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
477
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
478
supported transports.
479
(Vincent Ladeuil)
480
481
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
482
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
483
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
484
485
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
486
(Robert Collins, #154173)
487
488
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
489
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
490
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
491
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
492
493
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
494
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
495
496
PERFORMANCE:
497
498
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
499
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
500
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
501
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
502
503
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
504
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
505
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
506
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
507
508
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
509
(Robert Collins, #88319)
510
511
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
512
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
513
514
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
515
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
516
517
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
518
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
519
(Aaron Bentley)
520
521
IMPROVEMENTS:
522
523
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
524
(Aaron Bentley)
525
526
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
527
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
528
(Lukáš Lalinský)
529
530
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
531
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
532
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
533
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
534
535
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
536
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
537
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
538
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
539
540
DOCUMENTATION:
541
542
BUG FIXES:
543
544
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
545
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
546
547
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
548
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
549
550
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
551
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
552
553
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
554
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
555
556
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
557
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
558
559
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
560
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
561
562
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
564
565
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
566
(Aaron Bentley)
567
568
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
570
571
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
572
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
573
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
574
575
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
576
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
577
578
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
579
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
580
581
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
582
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
583
584
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
586
587
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
588
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
589
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
590
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
591
on them.
592
(Martin Pool, #164637)
593
594
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
595
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
597
598
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
599
(Robert Collins, #161240)
600
601
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
602
to be reconciled.
603
(Martin Pool, #164443)
604
605
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
606
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
607
608
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
609
specify a port in urls.
610
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
611
612
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
613
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
614
615
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
616
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
617
618
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
619
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
620
621
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
622
(Robert Collins, #153789)
623
624
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
625
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
626
(Robert Collins, #165304).
627
628
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
629
630
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
631
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
632
633
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
634
Watkins, #152811)
635
636
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
637
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
638
639
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
640
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
641
642
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
643
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
644
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
645
646
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
647
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
648
649
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
650
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
651
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
652
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
653
654
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
655
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
656
657
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
658
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
659
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
660
661
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
662
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
663
664
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
666
667
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
669
670
API BREAKS:
671
672
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
673
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
674
675
* The return value of
676
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
677
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
678
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
679
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
680
681
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
682
(Robert Collins)
683
684
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
685
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
686
format.
687
(Martin Pool)
688
689
INTERNALS:
690
691
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
692
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
693
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
694
Bennetts)
695
696
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
697
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
698
699
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

715
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
716
717
CHANGES:
718
719
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
720
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
721
722
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
723
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
724
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
725
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
726
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
727
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
728
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
729
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
730
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
731
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
732
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
733
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
734
(Robert Collins)
735
736
FEATURES:
737
738
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
739
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
740
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
741
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
742
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
743
for further details. (Robert Collins)
744
745
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
746
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
747
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
748
(Robert Collins)
749
750
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
751
752
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
753
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
754
755
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
756
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
757
(Aaron Bentley)
758
759
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
760
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
761
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
762
763
PERFORMANCE:
764
765
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
766
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
767
768
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
769
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
770
771
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
772
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
773
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
774
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
775
776
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
777
(Robert Collins)
778
779
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
780
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
781
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
782
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
783
784
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
785
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
786
787
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
788
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
789
790
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
791
the contents. (Robert Collins)
792
793
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
794
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
795
796
IMPROVEMENTS:
797
798
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
799
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
800
801
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
802
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
803
804
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
805
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
806
807
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
808
(Martin Pool, #63894)
809
810
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
811
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
812
813
DOCUMENTATION:
814
815
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
816
817
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
818
(Ian Clatworthy)
819
820
BUG FIXES:
821
822
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
823
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
824
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
825
826
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
827
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
828
829
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
830
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
831
832
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
833
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
834
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
835
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
836
837
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
838
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
839
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
840
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
841
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
842
843
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
844
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
845
paramiko.
846
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
847
848
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
849
850
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
851
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
852
853
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
855
856
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
858
859
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
860
contains a symbolic link.
861
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
862
863
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
864
(James Westby, #140615)
865
866
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
867
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
868
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
869
870
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
871
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
872
(Martin Pool, #144633)
873
874
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
875
876
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
878
879
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
880
will remain opened.
881
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
882
883
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
884
directory to detect leaking tests.
885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
886
887
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
888
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
889
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
890
891
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
892
(Rob Weir, #141629)
893
894
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
895
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
896
897
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
898
Merwe)
899
900
API BREAKS:
901
902
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
903
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
904
905
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
906
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
907
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
908
909
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
910
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
911
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
912
913
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
914
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
915
916
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
917
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
918
919
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
920
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
921
(Martin Pool)
922
923
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
924
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
925
926
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
927
class that needs it.
928
(Martin Pool)
929
930
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
931
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
932
933
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
934
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
935
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
936
937
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
938
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
939
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
940
(Robert Collins)
941
942
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
943
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
944
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
945
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
946
(Robert Collins)
947
948
INTERNALS:
949
950
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
951
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
952
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
953
954
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
955
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
956
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
957
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
958
959
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
960
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
961
(Robert Collins)
962
963
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
964
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
965
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
966
967
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
968
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
969
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
970
971
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
972
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
973
974
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
975
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
976
to complete. (Robert Collins)
977
978
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
979
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
980
981
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
982
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
983
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
984
985
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
986
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
987
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
988
989
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
990
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
991
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
992
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
993
994
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
995
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
996
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
997
returned. (Robert Collins)
998
999
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1000
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1001
1002
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1003
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1004
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1005
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1006
(Robert Collins)
1007
1008
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1009
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1010
1011
TESTING:
1012
1013
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1014
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1015
1016
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1017
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1018
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1019
makes this behavior available to other users.
1020
(Martin Pool)
1021
1022
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1023
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1029
BUG FIXES:
1030
1031
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1032
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1033
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1034
1035
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1036
1037
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1038
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1039
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1040
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1041
1042
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1043
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1044
(Andrew Bennetts)

1046
1047
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1048
----------------------
1049

1051
in bzrlib/remote.py.

----------------------
1056
1057
CHANGES:
1058
1059
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1060
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1061
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1062
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1063
(Martin Pool)
1064
1065
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1066
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1067
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1068
(Ian Clatworthy)
1069
1070
FEATURES:
1071
1072
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1073
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1074
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1075
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1076
1077
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1078
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1079
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1080
1081
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1082
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1083
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1084
1085
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1086
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1087
1088
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1089
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1090
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1091
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1092
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1093
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1094
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1095
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1096
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1097
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1098
1099
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1100
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1101
1102
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1103
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1104
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1105
1106
BUG FIXES:
1107
1108
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1109
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1110
1111
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1112
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1113
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1114
1115
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1116
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1117
1118
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1119
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1120
1121
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1122
(Aaron Bentley)
1123
1124
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1125
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1126
1127
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1128
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1129
1130
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1131
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1132
1133
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1134
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1135
1136
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1137
1138
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1139
Watkins, #106726)
1140
1141
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1142
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1143
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1144
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1145
1146
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1147
1148
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1149
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1150
#133548)
1151
1152
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1153
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1154
1155
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1156
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1157
#116143)
1158
1159
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1160
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1161
1162
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1163
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1164
1165
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1166
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1167
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1168
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1169
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1170
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1171
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1172
1173
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1174
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1175
1176
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1177
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1178
1179
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1180
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1181
1182
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1184
1185
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1186
connections.
1187
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1188
1189
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1190
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1191
1192
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1193
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1194
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1195
1196
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1197
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1198
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1199
1200
IMPROVEMENTS:
1201
1202
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1203
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1204
1205
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1206
(Aaron Bentley)
1207
1208
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1209
(Aaron Bentley)
1210
1211
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1212
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1213
1214
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1215
1216
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1217
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1218
1219
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1220
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1221
1222
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1223
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1224
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1225
space). (Robert Collins)
1226
1227
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1228
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1229
(Ian Clatworthy)
1230
1231
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1232
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1233
1234
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1235
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1236
1237
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1238
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1239
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1240
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1241
1242
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1243
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1244
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1245
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1246
1247
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1248
(Ian Clatworthy)
1249
1250
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1251
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1252
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1253
1254
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1255
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1256
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1257
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1258
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1259
1260
API BREAKS:
1261
1262
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1263
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1264
1265
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1266
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1267
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1268
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1269
affected. (Robert Collins)
1270
1271
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1272
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1273
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1274
(Robert Collins)
1275
1276
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1277
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1278
1279
TESTING:
1280
1281
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1282
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1283
1284
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1285
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1286
1287
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1288
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1289
1290
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1291
(Aaron Bentley)
1292
1293
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1294
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1295
1296
INTERNALS:
1297
1298
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1299
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1300
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1301
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1302
1303
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1304
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1305
1306
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1307
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1308
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1309
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1310
1311
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1312
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1313
present. (Robert Collins)
1314
1315
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1316
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1317
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1318
API. (Robert Collins)
1319
1320
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1321
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1322
(Robert Collins)
1323
1324
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1325
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1326
1327
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1328
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1329
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1330
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1331
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1332
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1333
1334
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1335
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1336
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1337
1338
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1339
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1340
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1341
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1342
protocol.
1343
1344
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1345
(Aaron Bentley)
1346
1347
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1348
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1349
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1350
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1351
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1352
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1353
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1354
1355
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1356
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1357
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1358
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1359
1360
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1361
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1362
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1363
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1364
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1365
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1366
1367
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1368
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1369
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1370
1371
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1372
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1373

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1376
-------------------
1377
1378
IMPROVEMENTS:
1379
1380
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1381
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1382
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1383
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1384
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1385
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1386
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1389
1390
API CHANGES:
1391
1392
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1393
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1394
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

1398
----------------------
1399
1400
BUGFIXES:
1401
1402
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1403
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1404
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1405
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1406
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1407
1408
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1410
1411
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1412
anymore.
1413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1414
1415
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1416
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1417
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1418
1419
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1420
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1421
#111664)
1422
1423
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1424
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1425
1426
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1427
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1428
1429
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1430
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1431
1432
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1433
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1434
1435
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1436
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1437
1438
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1439
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1440
1441
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1442
(Aaron Bentley)
1443
1444
IMPROVEMENTS:
1445
1446
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1447
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1448
1449
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1450
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1451
1452
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1453
the repository (Robert Collins)
1454
1455
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1456
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1457
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1458
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1459
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1460
1461
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1462
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1463
1464
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1465
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1466
(John Arbash Meinel)
1467
1468
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1469
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1470
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1471
about 10%).
1472
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1473
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1474
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1475
(John Arbash Meinel)
1476
1477
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1478
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1479
(Robert Collins)
1480
1481
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1482
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1483
1484
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1485
(Ian Clatworthy)
1486
1487
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1488
1489
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1490
1491
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1492
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1493
1494
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1495
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1496
Meinel)
1497
1498
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1499
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1500
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1501
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1502
1503
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1504
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1505
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1506
1507
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1508
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1509
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1510
1511
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1512
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1513
1514
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1515
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1516
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1517
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1518
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1519
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1520
(Ian Clatworthy)
1521
1522
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1523
(Alexander Belchenko)
1524
1525
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1526
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1527
1528
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1529
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1530
1531
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1532
1533
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1534
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1535
1536
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1537
1538
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1539
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1540
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1541
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1542
1543
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1544
1545
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1546
(Robert Collins)
1547
1548
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1549
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1550
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1551
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1552
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1553
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1554
1555
INTERNALS:
1556
1557
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1558
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1559
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1560
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1561
1562
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1563
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1564
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1565
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1566
tests have been refactored too.
1567
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1568
1569
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1570
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1571
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1572
list, it will.
1573
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1574
1575
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1576
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1577
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1578
1579
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1580
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1581
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1582
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1583
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1584
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1585
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1586
1587
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1588
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1589
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1590
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1591
(John Arbash Meinel)
1592
1593
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1594
functionality for testing.
1595
1596
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1597
1598
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1599
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1600
1601
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1602
1603
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1604
(Robert Collins)
1605
1606
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1607
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1608
1609
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1610
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1611
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1612
1613
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1614
(Aaron Bentley)
1615
1616
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1617
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1618
1619
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1620
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1621
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1622
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1623
1624
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1625
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1626
1627
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1628
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1629
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1630
1631
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1632
(Marius Kruger)
1633
1634
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1635
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1636
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1637
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1638
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1639
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1642
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1643
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1644
many files. (Robert Collins)
1645
1646
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1647
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1648
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1649
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1650
1651
TESTING:
1652
1653
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1654
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1655
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1656
1657
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1658
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1659
1660
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1661
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1662
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1676
BUGFIXES:
1677
1678
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1679
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1680
1681
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1682
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1683
(James Westby, #122656)
1684
1685
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1686
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1687
1688
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1689
authentication header.
1690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1691
1692
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1693
1694
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1695
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1696
1697
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1698
1699
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1701
1702
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1703
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1704
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1705
1706
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1707
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1708
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1709
1710
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1711
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1712
1713
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1715
1716
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1717
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1718
1719
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1720
1721
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1722
1723
IMPROVEMENTS:
1724
1725
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1726
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1727
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1728
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1729
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1730
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1731
1732
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1733
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1734
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1735
1736
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1737
(Elliot Murphy)
1738
1739
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1740
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1741
1742
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1743
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1744
1745
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1746
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1747
1748
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1749
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1750
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1751
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1752
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1753
1754
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1755
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1756
1757
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1758
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1759
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1760
1761
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1762
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1763
1764
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1765
1766
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1767
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1768
1769
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1770
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1771
(Robert Collins)
1772
1773
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1774
(Martin Pool)
1775
1776
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1777
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1778
1779
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1780
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1781
1782
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1783
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1784
1785
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1786
1787
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1788
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1789
1790
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1791
(Andrew Bennetts)
1792
1793
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1794
1795
* Testing cleanups -
1796
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1797
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1798
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1799
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1800
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1801
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1802
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1803
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1804
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1805
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1806
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1807
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1808
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1809
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1810
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1811
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1812
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1813
(Robert Collins)
1814
1815
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1816
1817
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1818
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1819
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1820
1821
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1822
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1823
1824
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1825
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1826
1827
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1828
1829
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1830
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1831
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1832
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1833
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1834
same location. (Robert Collins)
1835
1836
INTERNALS:
1837
1838
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1839
1840
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1841
1842
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1843
1844
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1845
(Martin Pool)
1846
1847
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1848
(Martin Pool)
1849
1850
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1851
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1852
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1853
1854
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1855
1856
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1857
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1858
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1859
1860
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1861
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1862
1863
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1864
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1865
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1866
1867
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1868
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1869
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1870
1871
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1872
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1873
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1874
1875
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1876
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1877
Martin Pool)
1878
1879
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1880
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1881
1882
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1883
(Alexander Belchenko)
1884
1885
TESTING:
1886
1887
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1888
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1889
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1890
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1891
1892
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1893
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1894
testing. (Robert Collins)
1895
1896
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1897
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1898
1899
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1900
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1901
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1902
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1903
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1904
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1905
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1906
1907
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1908
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1909
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1910
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1911
1912
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1913
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1914
1915
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1916
avoid useless cloning.

1935
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1936
1937
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1938
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1939
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1940
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1941
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1942
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1943
and unlock() like so::
1944
1945
work_tree.lock_read()
1946
try:
1947
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1948
finally:
1949
work_tree.unlock()
1950
1951
INTERNALS:
1952
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1953
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1954
object.
1955
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1956
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1957
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1958
1959
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1960
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1961
too. (Robert Collins)
1962
1963
IMPROVEMENTS:
1964
1965
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1966
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1967
Aaron Bentley)
1968
1969
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1970
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1971
1972
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1973
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1974
1975
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1976
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1977
understanding what changes have occurred
1978
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1979
1980
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1981
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1982
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1983
1984
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1985
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1986
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1987
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1988
1989
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1990
#56322)
1991
1992
BUGFIXES:
1993
1994
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1995
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1996
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1997
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1998
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1999
2000
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2001
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2002
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2003
2004
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2006
2007
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2008
into account.
2009
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2010
2011
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2012
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2013
2014
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2015
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2016
2017
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2018
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2019
2020
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2021
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2022
2023
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2024
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2025
2026
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2027
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2028
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2031
--------------------
2032
2033
BUGFIXES:
2034
2035
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2036
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2037
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2038
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2039
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2040
2041
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2042
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2043
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2044
2045
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2046
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2047
2048
IMPROVEMENTS:
2049
2050
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2051
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2052
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2053
2054
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2055
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2056
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2057
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2060
-----------------------
2061
2062
BUGFIXES:
2063
2064
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2065
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2066
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2067
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2068
2069
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2070
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2071
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2072
2073
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2074
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2075
2076
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2077
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2078
2079
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2080
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2082
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2083
-----------------------
2084
2085
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2086
2087
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2088
it could be recovered again.
2089
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2090
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2091
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2092
but not delete it.
2093
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2094
files.
2095
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2096
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2097
2098
IMPROVEMENTS:
2099
2100
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2101
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2102
2103
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2104
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2105
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2106
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2107
2108
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2109
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2110
2111
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2112
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2113
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2114
2115
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2116
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2117
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2118
2119
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2120
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2121
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2122
2123
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2124
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2125
Robert Collins)
2126
2127
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2128
Pool)
2129
2130
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2131
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2132
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2133
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2134
2135
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2136
(Robert Collins)
2137
2138
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2139
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2140
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2141
(Robert Collins)
2142
2143
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2144
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2145
2146
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2147
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2148
2149
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2150
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2151
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2152
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2153
(Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2156
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2157
2158
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2159
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2160
2161
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2162
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2163
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2164
2165
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2166
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2167
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2168
2169
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2170
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2171
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2172
2173
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2174
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2175
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2176
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2177
2178
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2179
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2180
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2181
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2182
2183
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2184
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2185
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2186
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2187
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2188
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2189
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2190
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2191
header(s).
2192
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2193
2194
INTERNALS:
2195
2196
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2197
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2198
2199
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2200
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2201
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2202
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2203
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2204
2205
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2206
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2207
2208
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2209
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2210
2211
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2212
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2213
2214
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2215
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2216
2217
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2218
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2219
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2220
(Robert Collins).
2221
2222
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2223
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2224
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2225
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2226
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2227
(Robert Collins)
2228
2229
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2230
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2231
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2232
2233
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2234
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2235
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2236
2237
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2238
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2239
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2240
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2241
2242
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2243
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2244
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2245
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2246
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2247
2248
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2249
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2250
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2251
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2254
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2255
2256
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2257
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2258
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2259
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2260
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2261
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2262
2263
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2264
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2267
help. (Robert Collins)
2268
2269
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2270
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2271
2272
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2273
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2274
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2275
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2276
(John Arbash Meinel)
2277
2278
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2279
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2280
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2281
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2282
useful. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2285
(Andrew Bennetts)
2286
2287
BUGFIXES:
2288
2289
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2290
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2291
2292
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2293
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2294
2295
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2296
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2297
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2298
2299
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2300
(Aaron Bentley)
2301
2302
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2303
the file, and does it faster.
2304
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2305
2306
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2307
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2308
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2309
2310
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2311
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2312
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2313
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2314
2315
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2316
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2317
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2318
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2319
2320
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2321
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2322
2323
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2324
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2325
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2326
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2327
Arbash Meinel)
2328
2329
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2330
2331
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2332
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2333
2334
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2335
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2336
2337
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2338
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2339
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2340
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2341
security hole.
2342
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2343
2344
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2346
2347
TESTING:
2348
2349
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2350
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2351
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2352
2353
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2354
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2355
2356
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2357
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2358
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2359
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2360
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2361
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2362
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2363
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2364
2365
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2366
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2367
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2368
2369
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2370
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2371
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2372
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2373
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2374
access.
2375
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2376
2377
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2378
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2379
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2380
2381
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2382
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
2401
2402
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2403
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2404
(Martin Pool)
2405
2406
IMPROVEMENTS:
2407
2408
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2409
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2410
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2411
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2412
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2413
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2414
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2415
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2416
path. (vila)
2417
2418
INTERNALS:
2419
2420
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2421
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2422
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2423
2424
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2425
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2426
(Martin Pool)
2427
2428
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2429
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2430
(John Arbash Meinel)
2431
2432
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2433
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2434
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2435
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2436
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2437
2438
BUGFIXES:
2439
2440
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2441
(vila, #92195)
2442
2443
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2444
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2445
2446
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2447
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2448
2449
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2450
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2451
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2452
2453
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2454
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2455
2456
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2457
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2458
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2459
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2460
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2461
2462
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2463
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2464
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2465
2466
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2470
-----------------------
2471
2472
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2473
2474
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2475
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2476
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2477
2478
IMPROVEMENTS:
2479
2480
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2481
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2482
2483
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2484
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2485
2486
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2487
2488
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2489
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2490
2491
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2492
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2493
2494
INTERNALS:
2495
2496
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2497
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2498
2499
BUGFIXES:
2500
2501
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2502
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2503
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2504
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2505
2506
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2507
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2508
2509
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2510
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2511
2512
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2513
(Marien Zwart)
2514
2515
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

2519
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2520
-----------------------
2521
2522
SURPRISES:
2523
2524
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2525
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2526
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2527
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2528
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2529
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2530
2531
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2532
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2533
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2534
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2535
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2536
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2537
development.
2538
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2539
2540
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2541
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2542
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2543
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2544
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2545
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2546
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2547
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2548
2549
IMPROVEMENTS:
2550
2551
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2552
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2553
2554
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2555
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2556
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2557
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2558
does exist.
2559
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2560
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2561
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2562
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2563
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2564
2565
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2566
(Aaron Bentley)
2567
2568
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2569
(Aaron Bentley)
2570
2571
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2572
(Robert Collins)
2573
2574
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2575
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2576
(Aaron Bentley)
2577
2578
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2579
(Aaron Bentley)
2580
2581
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2582
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2583
2584
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2585
directory. (Martin Pool)
2586
2587
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2588
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2589
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2590
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2591
2592
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2593
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2594
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2595
in docs/configuration.txt.
2596
2597
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2598
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2599
bind location.
2600
2601
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2602
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2603
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2604
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2605
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2606
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2607
2608
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2609
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2610
2611
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2612
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2613
2614
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2615
(Aaron Bentley)
2616
2617
INTERNALS:
2618
2619
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2620
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2621
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2622
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2623
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2624
(John Arbash Meinel)
2625
2626
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2627
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2628
(Aaron Bentley)
2629
2630
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2631
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2632
(John Arbash Meinel)
2633
2634
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2635
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2636
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2637
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2638
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2639
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2640
2641
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2642
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2643
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2644
2645
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2646
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2647
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2648
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2649
repository.
2650
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2651
2652
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2653
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2654
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2655
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2656
2657
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2658
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2659
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2660
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2661
2662
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2663
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2664
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2665
2666
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2667
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2668
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2669
2670
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2671
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2672
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2673
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2674
2675
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2676
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2677
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2678
2679
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2680
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2681
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2682
2683
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2684
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2685
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2686
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2687
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2688
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2689
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2690
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2691
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2692
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2693
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2694
2695
BUGFIXES:
2696
2697
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2698
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2699
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2700
2701
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2702
(Aaron Bentley)
2703
2704
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2705
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2706
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2707
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2708
2709
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2710
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2711
#83954).
2712
2713
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2714
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2715
2716
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2717
2718
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2719
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2720
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2721
2722
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2723
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2724
2725
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2727
2728
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2730
2731
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2732
(Kent Gibson, #86451)

2737
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2738

available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2756
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2757
2758
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2770
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2771
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2772
2773
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2774
(Marius Kruger)
2775
2776
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2777
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2778
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2779
2780
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2781
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2782
2783
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2784
(Aaron Bentley)
2785
2786
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2787
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2788
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2789
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2790
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2791
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2792
2793
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2794
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2795
should enable you to do::
2796
2797
[/home/user/project]
2798
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2799
push_location:policy = appendpath
2800
2801
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2802
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2803
(James Henstridge)
2804
2805
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2806
for each file. For example::
2807
2808
$ bzr status --short
2809
A foo
2810
A bar
2811
D baz
2812
? wooley
2813
2814
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2815
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2816
2817
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2818
2819
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2820
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2821
2822
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2823
2824
INTERNALS:
2825
2826
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2827
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2828
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2829
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2830
2831
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2832
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2833
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2834
2835
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2836
2837
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2838
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2839
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2840
(Alexander Belchenko)
2841
2842
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2843
Pool)
2844
2845
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2846
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2847
2848
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2849
2850
BUG FIXES:
2851
2852
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2853
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2854
2855
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2856
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2857
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2858
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2859
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2860
2861
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2862
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2863
2864
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2865
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2866
2867
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2868
matcher.
2869
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2870
2871
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2872
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2873
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2874
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2875
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2876
2877
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2878
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2879
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2880
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2881
2882
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2883
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2884
2885
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2886
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2887
2888
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2889
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2890
2891
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2903
IMPROVEMENTS:
2904
2905
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2906
tree from a branch.
2907
(Daniel Silverstone)
2908
2909
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2910
operations are substantially faster.
2911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2912
2913
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2914
tree from some other url. For example:
2915
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2916
(Daniel Silverstone)
2917
2918
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2919
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2920
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2921
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2922
2923
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2924
(Andrew Bennetts)
2925
2926
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2927
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2928
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2929
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2930
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2931
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2932
2933
INTERNALS:
2934
2935
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2936
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2937
(Martin Pool)
2938
2939
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2940
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2941
(John Arbash Meinel)
2942
2943
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2944
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2945
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2946
(John Arbash Meinel)
2947
2948
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2949
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2950
2951
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2952
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2953
2954
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2955
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2956
Bennetts)
2957
2958
BUG FIXES:
2959
2960
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2961
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2962
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2963
2964
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2965
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2966
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2967
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2968
2969
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2970
2971
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2972
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2973
2974
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2975
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2976
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2978
2979
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2980
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2981
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2982
2983
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2984
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2985
them as full references rather than integers.
2986
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2987
2988
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2989
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2990
2991
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2992
2993
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2994
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2995
2996
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2997
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2998
2999
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3000
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3001
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3002
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3003
3004
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3005
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3006
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3007
3008
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3009
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3010
3011
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3012
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3013
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3014
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3015
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3016
3017
TESTING:
3018
3019
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3020
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3023
--------------------
3024
3025
INTERNALS:
3026
3027
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3028
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3029
(John Arbash Meinel)
3030
3031
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3032
-----------------------
3033
3034
IMPROVEMENTS:
3035
3036
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3037
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3038
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3039
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3040
3041
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3042
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3043
3044
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3045
3046
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3047
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3048
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3049
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3050
3051
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3052
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3053
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3054
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3055
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3056
3057
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3058
3059
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3060
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3061
3062
INTERNALS:
3063
3064
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3065
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3066
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3067
3068
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3069
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3070
(John Arbash Meinel)
3071
3072
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3073
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3074
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3075
3076
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3077
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3078
(Aaron Bentley)
3079
3080
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3081
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3082
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3083
3084
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3085
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3086
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3087
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3088
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3089
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3090
3091
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3092
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3093
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3094
(Robert Collins)
3095
3096
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3097
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3098
3099
BUG FIXES:
3100
3101
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3102
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3103
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3104
#63360, #66349)
3105
3106
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3107
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3108
3109
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3110
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3111
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3112
3113
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3114
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3115
3116
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3117
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3118
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3119
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3120
3121
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3122
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3123
3124
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3125
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3126
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3127
3128
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3129
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3130
3131
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3132
3133
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3134
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3135
#32054)
3136
3137
TESTING:
3138
3139
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3140
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3141
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3142
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3143
3144
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3145
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3146
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3147
3148
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

3158
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).

3162
3163
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3164
-----------------------
3165
3166
IMPROVEMENTS:
3167
3168
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3169
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3170
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3171
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3172
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3173
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3174
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3175
3176
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3177
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3178
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3179
3180
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3183
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3184
3185
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3186
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3187
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3188
(Robert Collins)
3189
3190
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3191
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3192
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3193
(John Arbash Meinel)
3194
3195
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3196
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3197
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3198
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3199
Pool)
3200
3201
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3202
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3203
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3204
(John Arbash Meinel)
3205
3206
BUG FIXES:
3207
3208
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3209
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3210
3211
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3212
3213
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3214
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3215
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3216
3217
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3218
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3219
3220
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3221
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3222
3223
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3225
3226
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3227
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3228
3229
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3230
3231
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3232
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3233
3234
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3235
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3236
3237
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3238
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3239
3240
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3241
(John Arbash Meinel)
3242
3243
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3244
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3245
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3246
3247
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3248
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3249
3250
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3251
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3252
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3253
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3254
3255
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3256
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3257
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3258
3259
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3260
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3261
3262
PORTABILITY:
3263
3264
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3265
3266
INTERNALS:
3267
3268
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3269
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3270
(John Arbash Meinel)
3271
3272
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3273
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3274
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3275
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3276
3277
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3278
(Andrew Bennetts)
3279
3280
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3281
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3282
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3283
3284
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3285
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3286
3287
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3288
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3289
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3290
3291
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3292
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3293
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3294
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3295
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3296
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3297
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3298
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3299
caller to repeat their request.
3300
(John Arbash Meinel)
3301
3302
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3303
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3304
3305
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3306
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3307
3308
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3309
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3310
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3311
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3312
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3313
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3314
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3315
3316
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3317
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3318
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3319
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3320
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3321
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3322
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3323
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3324
(Robert Collins)
3325
3326
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3327
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3328
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3329
3330
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3331
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3332
3333
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3334
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3335
3336
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3337
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3338
3339
TESTING:
3340
3341
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3342
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3343
3344
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3345
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3346
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3349
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3350
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3351
3352
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3353
--------------------
3354
3355
IMPROVEMENTS:
3356
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3357
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3358
3359
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3360
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3361
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3362
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3363
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3364
3365
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3366
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3367
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3368
3369
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3370
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3371
3372
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3373
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3374
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3375
3376
BUG FIXES:
3377
3378
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3379
3380
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3381
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3382
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3383
3384
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3385
3386
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3387
3388
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3389
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3390
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3391
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3392
3393
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3394
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3395
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3396
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3397
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3398
3399
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3400
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3401
3402
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3403
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3404
3405
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3406
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3407
3408
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3409
in handling of revision properties.
3410
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3411
3412
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3413
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3414
3415
INTERNALS:
3416
3417
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3418
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3419
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3420
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3421
(John Arbash Meinel)
3422
3423
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3424
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3425
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3426
3427
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3428
---------------------
3429
3430
SURPRISES:
3431
3432
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3433
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3434
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3435
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3436
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3437
a more conservative list than the old default.
3438
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3439
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3440
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3441
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3442
3443
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3444
to more locations than just branch locations.
3445
(Aaron Bentley)
3446
3447
IMPROVEMENTS:
3448
3449
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3450
revno:N:branch. For example,
3451
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3452
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3453
3454
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3455
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3456
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3457
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3458
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3459
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3460
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3461
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3462
#42517, #42514)
3463
3464
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3465
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3466
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3467
(Malone #3507)
3468
3469
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3470
(Alexander Belchenko)
3471
3472
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3473
3474
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3475
(Robert Collins).
3476
3477
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3478
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3479
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3480
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3481
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3482
(John Arbash Meinel)
3483
3484
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3485
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3486
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3487
grained analysis of performance.
3488
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3489
3490
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3491
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3492
3493
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3494
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3495
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3496
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3497
file. (Robert Collins).
3498
3499
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3500
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3501
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3502
3503
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3504
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3505
Matthieu Moy)
3506
3507
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3508
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3511
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3512
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3513
the same way you would apply another branch.
3514
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3515
3516
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3517
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3518
3519
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3520
(Michael Ellerman)
3521
3522
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3523
(Aaron Bentley)
3524
3525
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3526
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3527
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3528
3529
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3530
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3531
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3532
3533
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3534
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3535
3536
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3537
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3538
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3539
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3540
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3541
3542
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3543
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3544
3545
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3546
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3547
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3548
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3549
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3550
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3551
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3552
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3553
3554
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3555
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3556
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3557
3558
BUG FIXES:
3559
3560
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3561
tests not to run.
3562
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3563
3564
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3565
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3566
3567
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3568
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3569
3570
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3571
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3572
3573
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3574
3575
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3576
(John Arbash Meinel)
3577
3578
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3579
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3580
3581
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3582
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3583
and y.
3584
3585
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3586
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3587
3588
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3589
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3590
3591
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3592
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3593
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3594
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3595
3596
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3597
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3598
3599
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3600
3601
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3602
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3603
3604
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3605
3606
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3607
3608
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3609
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3610
3611
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3612
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3613
3614
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3615
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3616
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3617
3618
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3619
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3620
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3621
3622
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3623
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3624
3625
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3626
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3627
3628
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3629
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3630
3631
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3632
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3633
3634
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3635
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3636
3637
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.

Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3639
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3640
3641
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3642
3643
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3644
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3645
3646
INTERNALS:
3647
3648
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3649
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3650
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3651
3652
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3653
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3654
3655
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3656
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3657
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3658
3659
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3660
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3661
3662
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3663
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3664
(Martin Pool)
3665
3666
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3667
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3668
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3669
3670
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3671
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3672
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3673
3674
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3675
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3676
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3677
3678
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3679
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3680
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3681
3682
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3683
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3684
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3685
3686
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3687
instead. (Robert Collins)
3688
3689
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3727
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3728
3729
NEW FEATURES:

3746
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3747
-------------------
3748
3749
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3750
3751
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3752
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3753
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3754
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3755
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3756
will keep the same format.
3757
3758
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3759
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3760
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3761
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3762
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3763
3764
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3765
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3766
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3767
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3768
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3769
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3770
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3771
3772
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3773
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3774
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3775
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3776
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3777
3778
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3779
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3780
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3781
arrangement.
3782
3783
3784
IMPROVEMENTS:
3785
3786
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3787
convention. Paths now take the form::
3788
3789
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3790
or
3791
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3792
3793
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3794
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3795
3796
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3797
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3798
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3799
3800
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3801
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3802
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3803
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3804
3805
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3806
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3807
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3808
3809
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3810
3811
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3812
3813
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3814
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3815
commits::
3816
3817
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3818
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3819
| xargs bzr re-sign
3820
3821
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3822
3823
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3824
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3825
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3826
(Robert Collins)
3827
3828
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3829
3830
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3831
3832
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3833
'.moved'.
3834
3835
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3836
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3837
3838
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3839
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3840
Daniel Silverstone)
3841
3842
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3843
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3844
Martin Pool)
3845
3846
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3847
3848
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3849
3850
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3851
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3852
3853
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3854
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3855
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3856
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3857
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3858
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3859
3860
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3861
3862
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3863
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3864
(Robert Collins)
3865
3866
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3867
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3868
3869
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3870
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3871
3872
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3873
3874
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3875
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3876
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3877
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3878
specification by Martin Pool.
3879
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3880
3881
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3882
Belchenko)
3883
3884
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3885
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3886
3887
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3888
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3889
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3890
3891
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3892
3893
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3894
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3895
(Robert Collins)
3896
3897
CHANGES:
3898
3899
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3900
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3901
3902
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3903
3904
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3905
3906
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3907
(Olaf Conradi)
3908
3909
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3910
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3911
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3912
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3913
3914
INTERNALS:
3915
3916
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3917
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3918
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3919
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3920
3921
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3922
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3923
tried. (Martin Pool)
3924
3925
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3926
(Martin Pool)
3927
3928
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3929
3930
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3931
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3932
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3933
3934
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3935
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3936
3937
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3938
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3939
paths. (Robert Collins)
3940
3941
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3942
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3943
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3944
3945
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3946
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3947
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3948
3949
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3950
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3951
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3952
3953
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3954
(Olaf Conradi)
3955
3956
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3957
(Olaf Conradi)
3958
3959
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3960
3961
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3962
3963
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3964
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3965
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3966
(Robert Collins)
3967
3968
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3969
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3970
3971
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3972
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3973
check. (Robert Collins)
3974
3975
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3976
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3977
3978
TESTING:
3979
3980
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3981
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3982
3983
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3984
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3985
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3986
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3987
3988
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3989
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3990
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3991
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3992
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3993
3994
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3995
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3996
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3997
3998
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3999
4000
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4001
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4002

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4004
------------------
4005
4006
CHANGES:
4007
4008
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4009
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4010
4011
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4012
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4013
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4014
(Johan Rydberg)
4015
4016
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4017
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4018
4019
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4020
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4021
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4022
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4023
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4024
4025
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4026
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4027
used. (Robert Collins)
4028
4029
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4030
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4031
(James Henstridge)
4032
4033
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4034
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4035
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4036
4037
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4038
ignore list.
4039
4040
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4041
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4042
4043
IMPROVEMENTS:
4044
4045
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4046
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4047
4048
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4049
4050
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4051
4052
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4053
tree. (Robert Collins)
4054
4055
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4056
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4057
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4058
(Robert Collins)
4059
4060
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4061
that they be kept.
4062
4063
* Tweaks to short log printing
4064
4065
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4066
(Aaron Bentley)
4067
4068
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4069
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4070
4071
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4072
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4073
4074
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4075
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4076
4077
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4078
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4079
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4080
4081
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4082
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4083
4084
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4085
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4086
requests.
4087
4088
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4089
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4090
4091
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4092
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4093
4094
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4095
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4096
4097
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4098
(Denys Duchier)
4099
4100
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4101
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4102
4103
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4104
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4105
4106
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4107
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4108

4115
4116
* Error when run with -OO
4117

4119
(Martin Pool)
4120
4121
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4122
4123
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4124
4125
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4126
ignored by diff and status
4127
4128
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4129
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4130
4131

4132
4133
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4134
4135
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4136
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4137
4138
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4139
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4140
4141
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4142
(Harald Meland)
4143
4144
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4145
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4146
4147
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4148
4149
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4150
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4151
4152
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4153
(Martin Pool)
4154
4155

4156
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4157
4158
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4159
4160
TESTING:
4161
4162
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4163
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4164
4165
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4166
4167
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4168
4169
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4170
4171
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4172
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4173
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4174
4175
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4176
4177
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4178
(John Arbash Meinel)
4179
4180
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4181
4182
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4183
If adding a new test script please add that to
4184
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4185
4186
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4187
imported. (Martin Pool)
4188
4189
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4190
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4191
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4192
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4193
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4194
(Robert Collins)
4195
4196
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4197
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4198
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4199
4200
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4201
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4202
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4203
4204
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4205
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4206
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4207
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4208
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4209
(Robert Collins).
4210
4211
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4212
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4213
(Robert Collins).
4214
4215
INTERNALS:
4216
4217
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4218
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4219
4220
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4221
function. (Robert Collins)
4222
4223
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4224
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4225
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4226
4227
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4228
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4229
(Robert Collins)
4230
4231
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4232
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4233
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4234
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4235
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4236
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4237
version. (Robert Collins)
4238
4239
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4240
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4241
4242
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4243
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4244
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4245
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4246
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4247
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4248
4249
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4250
(Robert Collins)
4251
4252
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4253
4254
add()
4255
commit()
4256
move()
4257
rename_one()
4258
unknowns()
4259
4260
(Robert Collins)
4261
4262
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4263
4264
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4265
4266
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4267
Pool)
4268
4269
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4270
query method. (Robert Collins)
4271
4272
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4273
(Denys Duchier)
4274
4275
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4276
(Michael Ellerman)
4277
4278
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4279
(Michael Ellerman)
4280
4281
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4282
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4283
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4284
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4285
4286
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4287
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4288
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4289
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4290
4291
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4292
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4293

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4295
------------------
4296
4297
IMPROVEMENTS:
4298
4299
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4300
(John A Meinel)
4301
4302
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4303
conflicts.
4304
(Aaron Bentley)
4305
4306
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4307
a separator, not ':'.
4308
(Aaron Bentley)
4309
4310
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4311
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4312
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4313
4314
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4315
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4316
(Robert Collins)
4317
4318
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4319
has been added that suppresses all output.
4320
4321
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4322
Adams.
4323
4324
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4325
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4326
4327
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4328
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4329
4330
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4331
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4332
4333
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4334
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4335
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4336
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4337
4338
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4339
4340
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4341
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4342
4343
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4344
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4345
4346
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4347
output directory, if one was supplied.
4348
4349
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4350
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4351
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4352
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4353
4354
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4355
4356
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4357
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4358
4359
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4360
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4361
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4362
4363
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4364
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4365
4366
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4367
(Aaron Bentley)
4368
4369
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4370
4371
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4372
4373
TESTING:
4374
4375
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4376
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4377
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4378
4379
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4380
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4381
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4382
4383
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4384
is given. (Martin Pool)
4385
4386
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4387
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4388
file. (Robert Collins)
4389
4390
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4391
(Martin Pool)
4392
4393
INTERNALS:
4394
4395
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4396
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4397
representation. (Martin Pool).
4398
4399
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4400
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4401
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4402
4403
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4404
(Robert Collins)
4405
4406
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4407
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4408
Magnus Therning.
4409
4410
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4411
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4412
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4413
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4414
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4415
4416
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4417
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4418
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4419
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4420
python path. (Robert Collins)
4421
4422
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4423
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4424
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4425
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4426
4427
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4428
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4429
4430
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4431
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4432
(Robert Collins)
4433
4434
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4435
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4436
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4437
4438
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4439
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4440
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4441
4442
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4443
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4444
4445
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4446
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4447
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4448
(Robert Collins)
4449
4450
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4451
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4452
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4453
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4454
(Robert Collins)
4455
4456
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4457
(Robert Collins)
4458
4459
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4460
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4461
(Robert Collins)
4462
4463
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4464
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4465
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4466
4467
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4468
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4469
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4470
4471
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4472
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4473
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4474
4475
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4476
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4477
4478
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4479
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4480
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4481
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4482
caller. (Robert Collins)
4483
4484
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4485
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4486
(Robert Collins).
4487
4488
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4489
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4490
(Aaron Bentley)
4491
4492
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4493
4494
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4495
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4496
4497
BUG FIXES:
4498
4499
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4500
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4501
4502
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4503
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4504
4505
4506
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4507
--------------------
4508
4509
BUG FIXES:
4510
4511
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4512
allow directories to be listed.
4513
4514
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4515
upgrading branch format.
4516
4517
PERFORMANCE:
4518
4519
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4520
4521
4522
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4523
------------------
4524
4525
NOTES:
4526
4527
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4528
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4529
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4530
high-latency connections.
4531
4532
BUG FIXES:
4533
4534
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4535
Rob Weir.
4536
4537
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4538
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4539
4540
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4541
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4542
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4543
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4544
4545
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4546
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4547
4548
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4549
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4550
4551
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4552
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4553
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4554
4555
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4556
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4557
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4558
Robert Collins
4559
4560
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4561
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4562
4563
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4564
different partial views of history.
4565
4566
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4567
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4568
4569
IMPROVEMENTS:
4570
4571
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4572
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4573
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4574
4575
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4576
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4577
'bzr upgrade'.
4578
4579
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4580
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4581
4582
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4583
Niemeyer.
4584
4585
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4586
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4587
4588
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4589
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4590
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4591
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4592
4593
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4594
4595
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4596
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4597
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4598
4599
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4600
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4601
4602
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4603
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4604
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4605
4606
4607
INTERNALS:
4608
4609
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4610
for your viewing pleasure.
4611
4612
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4613
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4614
4615
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4616
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4617
handling of such circumstances.
4618
4619
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4620
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4621
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4622
4623
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4624
4625
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4626
we call them revisions not patches.
4627
4628
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4629
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4630
4631
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4632
giving the revision *of that file*.
4633
4634
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4635
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4636
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4637
4638
TESTING:
4639
4640
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4641
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4642
4643
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4644
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4645

4647
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4648
--------------------
4649
4650
BUG FIXES:
4651
4652
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4653
4654
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4655
(Robert Collins).
4656
4657
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4658
4659
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4660
4661
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4662
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4663
4664
IMPROVEMENTS:
4665
4666
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4667
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4668
4669
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4670
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4671
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4672
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4673
Robey Pointer
4674
4675
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4676
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4677
4678
INTERNALS:
4679
4680
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4681
4682
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4683
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4684
4685
4686
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4687
--------------------
4688
4689
IMPROVEMENTS:
4690
4691
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4692
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4693
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4694
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4695
Michael Ellerman.
4696
4697
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4698
(Nir Soffer)
4699
4700
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4701
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4702
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4703
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4704
for the operating system is still tried.
4705
4706
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4707
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4708
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4709
4710
4711
INTERNALS:
4712
4713
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4714
4715
BUG FIXES:
4716
4717
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4718
4719
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4720
branch.
4721
4722
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4723
read.
4724
4725
4726
PORTABILITY:
4727
4728
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4729
4730
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4731
4732
4733
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4734
--------------------
4735
4736
NEW FEATURES:
4737
4738
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4739
help with intelligent shell completion.
4740
4741
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4742
4743
4744
ENHANCEMENTS:
4745
4746
* Much better merge support.
4747
4748
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4749
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4750
like emacs smerge.
4751
4752
4753
BUG FIXES:
4754
4755
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4756
mention revisions that are not present.
4757
4758
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4759
4760
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4761
4762
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4763
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4764
4765
4766
CHANGES:
4767
4768
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4769
4770
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4771
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4772
--help themselves.
4773
4774
4775
LIBRARY:
4776
4777
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4778
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4779
libraries.
4780
4781
4782
4783
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4784
--------------------
4785
4786
NEW FEATURES:
4787
4788
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4789
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4790
4791
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4792
4793
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4794
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4795
4796
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4797
FOO.
4798
4799
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4800
4801
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4802
the Unix command.
4803
4804
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4805
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4806
4807
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4808
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4809
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4810
4811
4812
ENHANCEMENTS:
4813
4814
* Faster working tree operations.
4815
4816
4817
CHANGES:
4818
4819
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4820
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4821
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4822
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4823
4824
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4825
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4826
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4827
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4828
standard plugins directory.
4829
4830
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4831
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4832
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4833
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4834
4835
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4836
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4837
4838
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4839
disk.
4840
4841
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4842
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4843
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4844
4845
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4846
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4847
4848
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4849
line options must come before the command name because they
4850
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4851
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4852
it.
4853
4854
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4855
4856
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4857
is available with ``--short``.
4858
4859
4860
BUG FIXES:
4861
4862
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4863
4864
4865
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4866
---------------------
4867
4868
CHANGES:
4869
4870
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4871
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4872
4873
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4874
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4875
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4876
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4877
4878
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4879
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4880
with the ``--forward`` option.
4881
4882
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4883
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4884
field.
4885
4886
4887
ENHANCEMENTS:
4888
4889
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4890
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4891
4892
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4893
4894
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4895
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4896
4897
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4898
4899
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4900
either read or write mode.
4901
4902
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4903
4904
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4905
affected that file.
4906
4907
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4908
4909
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4910
suggested by LarstiQ.
4911
4912
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4913
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4914
4915
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4916
a filename.
4917
4918
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4919
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4920
4921
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4922
haven't changed since the previous time.
4923
4924
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4925
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4926
4927
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4928
4929
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4930
4931
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4932
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4933
4934
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4935
options through to an external GNU diff.
4936
4937
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4938
their contents.
4939
4940
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4941
from a branch.
4942
4943
4944
BUG FIXES:
4945
4946
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4947
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4948
4949
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4950
metacharacters.
4951
4952
4953
TESTING:
4954
4955
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4956
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4957
the tests.
4958
4959
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4960
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4961
4962
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4963
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4964
4965
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4966
under a different version.
4967
4968
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4969
4970
4971
INTERNAL:
4972
4973
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4974
4975
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4976
Scott James Remnant.
4977
4978
* Better help messages for many commands.
4979
4980
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4981
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4982
4983
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4984
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4985
4986
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4987
4988
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4989
4990
* New AtomicFile class.
4991
4992
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4993
4994
4995
PORTABILITY:
4996
4997
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4998
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5002
---------------------
5003
5004
ENHANCEMENTS:
5005
5006
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5007
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5008
5009
* More default ignore patterns.
5010
5011
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5012
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5013
5014
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5015
5016
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5017
by Jason Diamon.
5018
5019
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5020
5021
5022
CHANGES:
5023
5024
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5025
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5026
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5027
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5028
there are DNS problems.
5029
5030
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5031
5032
5033
BUG FIXES:
5034
5035
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5036
5037
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5038
5039
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5040
trailing newlines properly.
5041
5042
5043
INTERNAL:
5044
5045
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5046
Matt Brubeck.
5047
5048
* More tests in test.sh.
5049
5050
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5051
directory and delete it when done.
5052
5053
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5054
5055
5056
PORTABILITY:
5057
5058
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5059
Bennetts.
5060
5061
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5062
from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5066
---------------------
5067
5068
ENHANCEMENTS:
5069
5070
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5071
in the tree.
5072
5073
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5074
5075
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5076
and/or directory.
5077
5078
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5079
directory.
5080
5081
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5082
5083
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5084
5085
CHANGES:
5086
5087
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5088
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5089
will do for now.)
5090
5091
PORTABILITY:
5092
5093
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5094
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5095
Nielsen.
5096
5097
INTERNAL:
5098
5099
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5100
5101
TESTING:

5115
-----------------------------------
5116
5117
ENHANCEMENTS:
5118
5119
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5120
5121
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5122
rather than replacing it.
5123
5124
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5125
5126
* More help topics.
5127
5128
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5129
branch.
5130
5131
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5132
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5133
5134
* Performance improvements.
5135
5136
* New global --profile option.
5137
5138
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5139
the root directory only.

5141
5142
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5143

5144
5145
ENHANCEMENTS:

5147
* More information from info command.
5148
5149
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5150
5151
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5152
committing to stores.
5153
5154
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5155
5156
BUG FIXES:
