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
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
16
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
17
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
18
19
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
20
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
21
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
22
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
23
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
24
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
25
(Aaron Bentley)
26
27
FEATURES:
28
29
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
30
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
31
32
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
33
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
34
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
35
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
36
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
37
38
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
39
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
40
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
41
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
42
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
43
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
44
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
45
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
46
47
IMPROVEMENTS:
48
49
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
50
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
51
52
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
53
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
54
55
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
56
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
57
58
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
59
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
60
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
61
62
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
63
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
64
(John Arbash Meinel)
65
66
BUGFIXES:
67
68
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
69
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
70
71
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
72
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
73
74
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
75
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
76
77
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
78
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
79
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
80
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
81
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
82
unittest runner.
83
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
84
85
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
86
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
87
#185907)
88
89
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
90
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
91
92
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
93
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
94
95
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
96
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
97
98
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
99
more characters which should be considered valid.
100
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
101
102
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
103
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
104
105
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
106
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
107
108
API BREAKS:
109
110
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
111
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
112
113
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
114
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
115
(Martin Pool)
116
117
TESTING:
118
119
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
120
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
121
(Vincent Ladeuil)
122
123
INTERNALS:
124
125
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
126
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
127
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
128
129
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
130
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
131
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
132
133
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
134
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
135
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
136
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
137
138
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
139
140
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
141
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
142
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
143
server. (Robert Collins)
144
145
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
146
operate. (Robert Collins)
147
148
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
149
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
150
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
151
152
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
153
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
154
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
155
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
156
157
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
158
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
159
160
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
161
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
162
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
163
164
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
165
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
166
167
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
168
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
169
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
170
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
171
172
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
173
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
174
175
176
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
177
------------------
178
179
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
180
181
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
182
---------------------
183
184
CHANGES:
185
186
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
187
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
188
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
189
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
190
191
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
192
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
193
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
194
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
195
196
FEATURES:
197
198
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
199
(Lukáš Lalinský)
200
201
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
202
(Aaron Bentley)
203
204
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
205
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
206
207
IMPROVEMENTS:
208
209
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
210
#90049)
211
212
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
213
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
214
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
215
216
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
217
218
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
219
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
220
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
221
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
222
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
223
224
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
225
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
226
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
227
228
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
229
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
230
231
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil)
233
234
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
235
236
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
237
238
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
239
(Aaron Bentley)
240
241
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
242
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
243
244
BUGFIXES:
245
246
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
247
(Martin Pool, #180208)
248
249
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
251
252
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
253
(Aaron Bentley)
254
255
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
256
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
257
258
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
259
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
260
261
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
262
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
263
264
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
265
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
266
267
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
268
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
269
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
270
271
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
272
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
273
274
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
275
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
276
(Aaron Bentley)
277
278
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
279
280
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
281
user:pass embedded in the urls.
282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
283
284
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
285
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
286
287
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
288
(Aaron Bentley)
289
290
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
291
#148087)
292
293
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
294
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
295
296
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
297
#137681)
298
299
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
300
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
301
(Aaron Bentley)
302
303
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
304
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
306
307
DOCUMENTATION:
308
309
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
310
(Ian Clatworthy)
311
312
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
313
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
314
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
315
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
316
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
317
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
318
319
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
320
321
INTERNALS:
322
323
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
324
(Aaron Bentley)
325
326
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
327
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
328
329
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
330
331
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
332
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
333
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
334
Robert Collins)
335
336
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
337
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
338
339
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
340
(Vincent Ladeuil)
341
342
API BREAKS:
343
344
TESTING:
345
346
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
347
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
348
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
349
350
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
351
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
352
(Robert Collins)
353
354
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
355
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
356
357
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
358
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
359
360
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
361
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
362
363
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
364
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
365
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
366
367
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
368
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
369
370
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
371
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
372
373
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
374
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
375
(Vincent Ladeuil)
376
377
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
378
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
379
380
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
381
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
382
383
384
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
385
------------------
386
387
DOCUMENTATION:
388
389
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
390
391
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
392
(Ian Clatworthy)
393
394
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
395
396
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
397
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
398
(Ian Clatworthy)
399
400
401
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
402
---------------------
403
404
CHANGES:
405
406
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
407
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
408
by mail to the mailing list.
409
(Martin Pool)
410
411
BUGFIXES:
412
413
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
414
415
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
416
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
417
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
418
feedback but also incur more latency.
419
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
420
421
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
422
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
423
424
DOCUMENTATION:
425
426
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
427
428
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
429
(Ian Clatworthy)
430
431
INTERNALS:
432
433
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
434
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
435
wraps its output in a StringIO.
436
(Vincent Ladeuil)
437
438
439
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
440
---------------------
441
442
IMPROVEMENTS:
443
444
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
445
446
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
447
(Aaron Bentley)
448
449
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
450
Nordhoff, #172612)
451
452
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
453
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
454
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
455
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
456
457
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
458
(Kent Gibson)
459
460
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
461
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
462
463
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
464
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
465
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
466
467
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
468
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
469
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
470
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
471
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
472
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
473
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
474
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
475
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
476
477
INTERNALS:
478
479
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

(Vincent Ladeuil)
481
482
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
483
484
BUGFIXES:
485
486
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
487
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
488
489
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
490
filename to user.
491
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
492
493
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
494
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
495
required.
496
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
497
498
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
499
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
500
501
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
502
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
503
504
API BREAKS:

511
---------------------
512
513
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
514
515
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
516
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
517
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
518
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
519
520
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
521
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
522
523
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
524
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
525
526
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
527
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
528
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
529
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
530
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
531
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
532
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
533
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
534
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
535
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
536
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
537
from any tree without problems.
538
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
539
540
CHANGES:
541
542
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
543
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
544
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
545
546
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
547
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
548
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
549
(Martin Pool)
550
551
FEATURES:
552
553
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
554
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
555
supported transports.
556
(Vincent Ladeuil)
557
558
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
559
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
560
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
561
562
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
563
(Robert Collins, #154173)
564
565
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
566
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
567
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
568
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
569
570
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
571
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
572
573
PERFORMANCE:
574
575
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
576
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
577
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
578
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
579
580
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
581
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
582
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
583
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
584
585
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
586
(Robert Collins, #88319)
587
588
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
589
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
590
591
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
592
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
593
594
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
595
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
596
(Aaron Bentley)
597
598
IMPROVEMENTS:
599
600
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
601
(Aaron Bentley)
602
603
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
604
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
605
(Lukáš Lalinský)
606
607
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
608
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
609
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
610
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
611
612
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
613
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
614
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
615
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

623
624
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
625
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
626
627
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
628

629
630
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
631
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
632
633
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
634
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
635
636
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
637
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
638
639
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

643
(Aaron Bentley)
644
645
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
647
648
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
649
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
651
652
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
653
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
654
655
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
656
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
657
658
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
659
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
660
661
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
663
664
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
665
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
666
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
667
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
668
on them.
669
(Martin Pool, #164637)
670
671
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
672
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
674
675
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
676
(Robert Collins, #161240)
677
678
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
679
to be reconciled.
680
(Martin Pool, #164443)
681
682
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
683
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
684
685
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
686
specify a port in urls.
687
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
688
689
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
690
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
691
692
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
693
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
694
695
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
696
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
697
698
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
699
(Robert Collins, #153789)
700
701
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
702
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
703
(Robert Collins, #165304).
704
705
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
706
707
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
708
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
709

(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
715
716
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
717
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
718
719
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
720
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
721
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
722
723
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
724
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
725
726
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
727
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
728
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
729
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
730
731
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
732
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
733
734
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
735
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
736
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
737
738
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
739
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
740
741
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
742
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
743
744
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
745
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
746
747
API BREAKS:
748
749
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
750
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
751
752
* The return value of
753
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
754
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
755
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
756
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
757
758
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
759
(Robert Collins)
760
761
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
762
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
763
format.
764
(Martin Pool)
765
766
INTERNALS:
767
768
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
769
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
770
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
771
Bennetts)
772
773
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
774
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
775
776
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
793
794
CHANGES:
795
796
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
797
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
798
799
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
800
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
801
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
802
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
803
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
804
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
805
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
806
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
807
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
808
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
809
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
810
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
811
(Robert Collins)
812
813
FEATURES:
814
815
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
816
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
817
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
818
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
819
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
820
for further details. (Robert Collins)
821
822
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
823
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
824
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
825
(Robert Collins)
826
827
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
828
829
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
830
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
831
832
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
833
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
834
(Aaron Bentley)
835
836
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
837
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
838
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
839
840
PERFORMANCE:
841
842
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
843
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
844
845
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
846
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
847
848
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
849
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
850
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
851
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
852
853
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
854
(Robert Collins)
855
856
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
857
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
858
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
859
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
860
861
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
862
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
863
864
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
865
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
866
867
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
868
the contents. (Robert Collins)
869
870
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
871
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
872
873
IMPROVEMENTS:
874
875
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
876
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
877
878
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
879
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
880
881
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
882
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
883
884
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
885
(Martin Pool, #63894)
886
887
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
888
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
889
890
DOCUMENTATION:
891
892
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
893
894
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.

(Ian Clatworthy)
896
897
BUG FIXES:
898
899
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
900
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
901
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
902
903
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
904
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
905
906
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
907
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
908
909
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
910
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
911
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
912
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
913
914
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
915
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
916
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
917
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
918
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
919
920
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
921
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
922
paramiko.
923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
924
925
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
926
927
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
928
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
929
930
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
931
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
932
933
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
935
936
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
937
contains a symbolic link.
938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
939
940
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
941
(James Westby, #140615)
942
943
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
944
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
946
947
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
948
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
949
(Martin Pool, #144633)
950
951
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
952
953
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
955
956
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
957
will remain opened.
958
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
959
960
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
961
directory to detect leaking tests.
962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
963
964
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
965
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
966
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
967
968
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
969
(Rob Weir, #141629)
970
971
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
972
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
973
974
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
975
Merwe)
976
977
API BREAKS:
978
979
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
980
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
981
982
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
983
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
984
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
985
986
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
987
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
988
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
989
990
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
991
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
992
993
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
994
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
995
996
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
997
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
998
(Martin Pool)
999
1000
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1001
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1002
1003
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1004
class that needs it.
1005
(Martin Pool)
1006
1007
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1008
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1009
1010
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1011
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1012
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1013
1014
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1015
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1016
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1017
(Robert Collins)
1018
1019
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1020
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1021
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1022
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1023
(Robert Collins)
1024
1025
INTERNALS:
1026
1027
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1028
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1029
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1030
1031
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1032
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1033
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1034
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1035
1036
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1037
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1038
(Robert Collins)
1039
1040
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1041
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1042
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1043
1044
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1045
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1046
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1047
1048
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1049
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1050
1051
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1052
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1053
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1054
1055
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1056
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1057
1058
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1059
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1060
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1061
1062
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1063
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1064
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1065
1066
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1067
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1068
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1069
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1070
1071
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1072
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1073
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1074
returned. (Robert Collins)
1075
1076
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1077
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1078
1079
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1080
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1081
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1082
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1083
(Robert Collins)
1084
1085
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1086
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1087
1088
TESTING:
1089
1090
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1091
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1092
1093
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1094
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1095
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1096
makes this behavior available to other users.
1097
(Martin Pool)
1098
1099
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1100
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1103
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1104
-------------------
1105
1106
BUG FIXES:
1107
1108
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1109
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1110
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1111
1112
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1113
1114
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1115
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1116
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1117
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1118
1119
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1120
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1121
(Andrew Bennetts)

1123
1124
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1125
----------------------
1126
1127
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1128
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1129
1130
1131
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1132
----------------------
1133
1134
CHANGES:
1135
1136
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1137
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1138
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1139
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1140
(Martin Pool)
1141
1142
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1143
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1144
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1145
(Ian Clatworthy)
1146
1147
FEATURES:
1148
1149
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1150
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1151
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1152
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1153
1154
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1155
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1156
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1157
1158
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1159
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1160
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1161
1162
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1163
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1164
1165
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1166
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1167
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1168
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1169
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1170
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1171
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1172
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1173
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1174
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1175
1176
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1177
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1178
1179
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1180
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1181
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1182
1183
BUG FIXES:
1184
1185
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1186
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1187
1188
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1189
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1190
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1191
1192
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1193
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1194
1195
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1196
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1197
1198
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1199
(Aaron Bentley)
1200
1201
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1202
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1203
1204
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1205
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1206
1207
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1208
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1209
1210
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1211
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1212
1213
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1214
1215
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1216
Watkins, #106726)
1217
1218
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1219
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1220
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1221
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1222
1223
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1224
1225
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1226
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1227
#133548)
1228
1229
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1230
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1231
1232
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1233
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1234
#116143)
1235
1236
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1237
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1238
1239
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1240
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1241
1242
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1243
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1244
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1245
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1246
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1247
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1248
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1249
1250
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1251
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1252
1253
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1254
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1255
1256
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1257
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1258
1259
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1260
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1261
1262
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1263
connections.
1264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1265
1266
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1267
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1268
1269
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1270
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1271
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1272
1273
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1274
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1275
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1276
1277
IMPROVEMENTS:
1278
1279
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1280
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1281
1282
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1283
(Aaron Bentley)
1284
1285
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1286
(Aaron Bentley)
1287
1288
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1289
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1290
1291
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1292
1293
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1294
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1295
1296
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1297
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1298
1299
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1300
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1301
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1302
space). (Robert Collins)
1303
1304
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1305
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1306
(Ian Clatworthy)
1307
1308
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1309
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1310
1311
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1312
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1313
1314
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1315
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1316
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1317
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1318
1319
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1320
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1321
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1322
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1323
1324
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1325
(Ian Clatworthy)
1326
1327
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1328
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1329
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1330
1331
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1332
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1333
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1334
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1335
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1336
1337
API BREAKS:
1338
1339
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1340
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1341
1342
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1343
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1344
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1345
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1346
affected. (Robert Collins)
1347
1348
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1349
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1350
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1351
(Robert Collins)
1352
1353
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1354
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1355
1356
TESTING:
1357
1358
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1359
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1360
1361
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1362
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1363
1364
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1365
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1366
1367
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1368
(Aaron Bentley)
1369
1370
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1371
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1372
1373
INTERNALS:
1374
1375
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1376
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1377
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1378
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1379
1380
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1381
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1382
1383
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1384
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1385
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1386
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1387
1388
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1389
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1390
present. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1393
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1394
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1395
API. (Robert Collins)
1396
1397
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1398
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1399
(Robert Collins)
1400
1401
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1402
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1403
1404
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1405
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1406
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1407
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1408
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1409
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1410
1411
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1412
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1413
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1414
1415
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1416
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1417
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1418
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1419
protocol.
1420
1421
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1422
(Aaron Bentley)
1423
1424
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1425
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1426
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1427
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1428
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1429
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1430
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1431
1432
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1433
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1434
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1435
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1436
1437
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1438
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1439
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1440
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1441
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1442
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1443
1444
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1445
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1446
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1447
1448
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1449
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1453
-------------------
1454
1455
IMPROVEMENTS:
1456
1457
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1458
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1459
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1460
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1461
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1462
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1463
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1464
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1465
1466
1467
API CHANGES:
1468
1469
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1470
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1471
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1472
1473
1474
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1475
----------------------
1476
1477
BUGFIXES:
1478
1479
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1480
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1481
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1482
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1483
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1484
1485
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1487
1488
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1489
anymore.
1490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1491
1492
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1493
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1494
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1495
1496
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1497
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1498
#111664)
1499
1500
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1501
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1502
1503
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1504
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1505
1506
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1507
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1508
1509
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1510
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1511
1512
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1513
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1514
1515
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1516
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1517
1518
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1519
(Aaron Bentley)
1520
1521
IMPROVEMENTS:
1522
1523
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1524
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1525
1526
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1527
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1528
1529
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1530
the repository (Robert Collins)
1531
1532
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1533
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1534
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1535
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1536
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1537
1538
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1539
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1540
1541
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1542
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1543
(John Arbash Meinel)
1544
1545
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1546
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1547
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1548
about 10%).
1549
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1550
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1551
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1552
(John Arbash Meinel)
1553
1554
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1555
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1556
(Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1559
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1560
1561
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1562
(Ian Clatworthy)
1563
1564
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1565
1566
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1567
1568
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1569
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1570
1571
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1572
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1573
Meinel)
1574
1575
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1576
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1577
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1578
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1579
1580
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1581
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1582
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1583
1584
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1585
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1586
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1587
1588
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1589
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1590
1591
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1592
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1593
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1594
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1595
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1596
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1597
(Ian Clatworthy)
1598
1599
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1600
(Alexander Belchenko)
1601
1602
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1603
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1604
1605
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1606
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1607
1608
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1609
1610
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1611
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1612
1613
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1614
1615
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1616
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1617
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1618
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1619
1620
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1621
1622
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1623
(Robert Collins)
1624
1625
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1626
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1627
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1628
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1629
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1630
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1631
1632
INTERNALS:
1633
1634
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1635
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1636
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1637
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1638
1639
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1640
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1641
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1642
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1643
tests have been refactored too.
1644
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1645
1646
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1647
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1648
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1649
list, it will.
1650
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1651
1652
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1653
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1654
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1655
1656
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1657
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1658
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1659
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1660
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1661
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1662
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1663
1664
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1665
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1666
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1667
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1668
(John Arbash Meinel)
1669
1670
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1671
functionality for testing.
1672
1673
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1674
1675
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1676
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1677
1678
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1679
1680
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1681
(Robert Collins)
1682
1683
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1684
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1685
1686
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1687
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1688
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1689
1690
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1691
(Aaron Bentley)
1692
1693
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1694
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1695
1696
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1697
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1698
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1699
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1700
1701
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1702
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1703
1704
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1705
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1706
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1707
1708
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1709
(Marius Kruger)
1710
1711
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1712
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1713
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1714
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1715
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1716
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1717
1718
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1719
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1720
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1721
many files. (Robert Collins)
1722
1723
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1724
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1725
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1726
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1727
1728
TESTING:
1729
1730
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1731
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1732
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1733
1734
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1735
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1736
1737
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1738
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1739
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1754
1755
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1756
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1757
1758
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1759
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1760
(James Westby, #122656)
1761
1762
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1763
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1764
1765
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1766
authentication header.
1767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1768
1769
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1770
1771
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1772
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1773
1774
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1775
1776
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1778
1779
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1780
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1782
1783
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1784
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1785
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1786
1787
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1788
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1789
1790
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1792
1793
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1794
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1795
1796
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1797
1798
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1799
1800
IMPROVEMENTS:
1801
1802
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1803
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1804
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1805
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1806
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1807
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1808
1809
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1810
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1811
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1812
1813
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1814
(Elliot Murphy)
1815
1816
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1817
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1818
1819
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1820
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1821
1822
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1823
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1824
1825
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1826
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1827
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1828
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1829
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1830
1831
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1832
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1833
1834
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1835
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1836
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1837
1838
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1839
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1840
1841
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1842
1843
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1844
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1845
1846
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1847
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1848
(Robert Collins)
1849
1850
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1851
(Martin Pool)
1852
1853
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1854
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1855
1856
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1857
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1858
1859
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1860
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1861
1862
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1863
1864
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1865
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1866
1867
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1874
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1875
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1876
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1877
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1878
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1879
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1880
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1881
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1882
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1883
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1884
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1885
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1886
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1887
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1888
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1889
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1890
(Robert Collins)
1891
1892
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1893
1894
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1895
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1896
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1897
1898
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1899
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1900
1901
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1902
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1903
1904
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1905
1906
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1907
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1908
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1909
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1910
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1911
same location. (Robert Collins)
1912
1913
INTERNALS:
1914
1915
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1916
1917
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1918
1919
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1920
1921
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1922
(Martin Pool)
1923
1924
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1925
(Martin Pool)
1926
1927
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1928
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1929
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1930
1931
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1932
1933
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1934
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1935
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1936
1937
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1938
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1939
1940
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1941
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1942
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1943
1944
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1945
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1946
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1947
1948
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1949
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1950
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1951
1952
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1953
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1954
Martin Pool)
1955
1956
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1957
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1958
1959
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1960
(Alexander Belchenko)
1961
1962
TESTING:
1963
1964
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1965
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1966
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1967
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1968
1969
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1970
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1971
testing. (Robert Collins)
1972
1973
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1974
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1975
1976
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1977
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1978
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1979
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1980
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1981
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1982
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1983
1984
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1985
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1986
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1987
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1988
1989
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1990
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1991
1992
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1993
avoid useless cloning.

2011
2012
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2013
2014
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2015
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2016
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2017
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2018
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2019
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2020
and unlock() like so::
2021
2022
work_tree.lock_read()
2023
try:
2024
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2025
finally:
2026
work_tree.unlock()
2027
2028
INTERNALS:
2029
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2030
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2031
object.
2032
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2033
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2034
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2035
2036
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2037
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2038
too. (Robert Collins)
2039
2040
IMPROVEMENTS:
2041
2042
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2043
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2044
Aaron Bentley)
2045
2046
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2047
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2048
2049
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2050
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2051
2052
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2053
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2054
understanding what changes have occurred
2055
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2056
2057
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2058
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2059
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2060
2061
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2062
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2063
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2064
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2065
2066
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2067
#56322)
2068
2069
BUGFIXES:
2070
2071
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2072
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2073
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2074
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2075
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2076
2077
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2078
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2079
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2080
2081
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2083
2084
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2085
into account.
2086
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2087
2088
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2089
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2090
2091
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2092
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2093
2094
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2095
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2096
2097
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2098
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2099
2100
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2101
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2102
2103
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2104
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2105
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2106
2107
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2108
--------------------
2109
2110
BUGFIXES:
2111
2112
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2113
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2114
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2115
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2116
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2117
2118
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2119
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2120
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2121
2122
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2123
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2124
2125
IMPROVEMENTS:
2126
2127
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2128
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2129
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2130
2131
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2132
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2133
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2134
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2135
2136
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2137
-----------------------
2138
2139
BUGFIXES:
2140
2141
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2142
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2143
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2144
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2145
2146
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2147
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2148
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2149
2150
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2151
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2152
2153
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2154
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2155
2156
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2157
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2158
2159
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2160
-----------------------
2161
2162
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2163
2164
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2165
it could be recovered again.
2166
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2167
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2168
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2169
but not delete it.
2170
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2171
files.
2172
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2173
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2174
2175
IMPROVEMENTS:
2176
2177
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2178
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2179
2180
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2181
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2182
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2183
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2184
2185
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2186
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2187
2188
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2189
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2190
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2191
2192
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2193
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2194
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2195
2196
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2197
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2198
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2199
2200
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2201
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2202
Robert Collins)
2203
2204
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2205
Pool)
2206
2207
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2208
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2209
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2210
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2211
2212
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2213
(Robert Collins)
2214
2215
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2216
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2217
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2218
(Robert Collins)
2219
2220
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2221
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2222
2223
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2224
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2225
2226
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2227
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2228
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2229
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2230
(Robert Collins)
2231
2232
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2233
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2234
2235
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2236
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2237
2238
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2239
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2240
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2241
2242
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2243
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2244
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2245
2246
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2247
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2248
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2249
2250
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2251
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2252
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2253
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2254
2255
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2256
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2257
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2258
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2259
2260
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2261
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2262
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2263
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2264
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2265
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2266
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2267
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2268
header(s).
2269
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2270
2271
INTERNALS:
2272
2273
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2274
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2275
2276
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2277
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2278
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2279
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2280
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2281
2282
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2283
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2284
2285
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2286
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2287
2288
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2289
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2290
2291
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2292
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2293
2294
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2295
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2296
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2297
(Robert Collins).
2298
2299
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2300
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2301
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2302
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2303
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2304
(Robert Collins)
2305
2306
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2307
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2308
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2309
2310
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2311
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2312
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2313
2314
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2315
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2316
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2317
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2318
2319
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2320
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2321
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2322
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2323
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2324
2325
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2326
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2327
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2328
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2329
2330
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2331
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2332
2333
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2334
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2335
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2336
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2337
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2338
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2339
2340
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2341
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2342
2343
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2344
help. (Robert Collins)
2345
2346
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2347
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2348
2349
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2350
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2351
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2352
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2353
(John Arbash Meinel)
2354
2355
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2356
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2357
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2358
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2359
useful. (Robert Collins)
2360
2361
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2362
(Andrew Bennetts)
2363
2364
BUGFIXES:
2365
2366
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2367
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2368
2369
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2370
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2371
2372
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2373
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2374
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2375
2376
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2377
(Aaron Bentley)
2378
2379
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2380
the file, and does it faster.
2381
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2382
2383
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2384
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2385
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2386
2387
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2388
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2389
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2390
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2391
2392
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2393
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2394
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2395
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2396
2397
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2398
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2399
2400
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2401
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2402
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2403
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2404
Arbash Meinel)
2405
2406
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2407
2408
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2409
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2410
2411
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2412
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2413
2414
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2415
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2416
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2417
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2418
security hole.
2419
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2420
2421
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2422
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2423
2424
TESTING:
2425
2426
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2427
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2428
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2429
2430
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2431
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2432
2433
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2434
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2435
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2436
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2437
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2438
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2439
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2440
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2441
2442
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2443
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2444
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2445
2446
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2447
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2448
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2449
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2450
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2451
access.
2452
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2453
2454
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2455
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2456
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2457
2458
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2459
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2477
CHANGES:
2478
2479
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2480
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2481
(Martin Pool)
2482
2483
IMPROVEMENTS:
2484
2485
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2486
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2487
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2488
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2489
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2490
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2491
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2492
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2493
path. (vila)
2494
2495
INTERNALS:
2496
2497
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2498
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2499
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2500
2501
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2502
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2503
(Martin Pool)
2504
2505
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2506
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2507
(John Arbash Meinel)
2508
2509
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2510
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2511
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2512
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2513
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2514
2515
BUGFIXES:
2516
2517
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2518
(vila, #92195)
2519
2520
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2521
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2522
2523
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2524
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2525
2526
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2527
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2528
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2529
2530
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2531
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2532
2533
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2534
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2535
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2536
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2537
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2538
2539
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2540
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2541
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2542
2543
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2547
-----------------------
2548
2549
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2550
2551
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2552
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2553
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2554
2555
IMPROVEMENTS:
2556
2557
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2558
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2559
2560
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2561
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2562
2563
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2564
2565
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2566
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2567
2568
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2569
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2570
2571
INTERNALS:
2572
2573
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2574
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2575
2576
BUGFIXES:
2577
2578
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2579
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2580
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2581
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2582
2583
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2584
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2585
2586
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2587
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2588
2589
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2590
(Marien Zwart)
2591
2592
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2597
-----------------------
2598
2599
SURPRISES:
2600
2601
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2602
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2603
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2604
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2605
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2606
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2607
2608
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2609
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2610
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2611
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2612
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2613
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2614
development.
2615
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2616
2617
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2618
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2619
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2620
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2621
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2622
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2623
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2624
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2625
2626
IMPROVEMENTS:
2627
2628
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2629
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2630
2631
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2632
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2633
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2634
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2635
does exist.
2636
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2637
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2638
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2639
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2640
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2641
2642
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2643
(Aaron Bentley)
2644
2645
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2646
(Aaron Bentley)
2647
2648
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2649
(Robert Collins)
2650
2651
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2652
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2653
(Aaron Bentley)
2654
2655
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2656
(Aaron Bentley)
2657
2658
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2659
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2660
2661
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2662
directory. (Martin Pool)
2663
2664
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2665
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2666
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2667
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2668
2669
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2670
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2671
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2672
in docs/configuration.txt.
2673
2674
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2675
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2676
bind location.
2677
2678
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2679
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2680
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2681
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2682
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2683
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2684
2685
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2686
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2687
2688
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2689
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2690
2691
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2692
(Aaron Bentley)
2693
2694
INTERNALS:
2695
2696
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2697
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2698
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2699
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2700
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2701
(John Arbash Meinel)
2702
2703
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2704
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2705
(Aaron Bentley)
2706
2707
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2708
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2709
(John Arbash Meinel)
2710
2711
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2712
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2713
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2714
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2715
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2716
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2717
2718
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2719
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2720
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2721
2722
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2723
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2724
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2725
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2726
repository.
2727
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2728
2729
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2730
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2731
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2732
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2733
2734
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2735
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2736
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2737
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2740
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2741
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2742
2743
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2744
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2745
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2746
2747
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2748
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2749
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2750
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2751
2752
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2753
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2754
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2755
2756
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2757
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2758
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2759
2760
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2761
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2762
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2763
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2764
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2765
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2766
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2767
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2768
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2771
2772
BUGFIXES:
2773
2774
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2775
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2776
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2777
2778
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2779
(Aaron Bentley)
2780
2781
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2782
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2783
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2784
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2785
2786
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2787
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2788
#83954).
2789
2790
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2791
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2792
2793
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2794
2795
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2796
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2797
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2798
2799
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2800
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2801
2802
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2804
2805
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2807
2808
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2809
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2810
2811
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2812
2813
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2814
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2815
2816
TESTING:
2817
2818
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2819
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

2821
2822
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
2823
--------------------
2824
2825
IMPROVEMENTS:
2826
2827
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2828
2829
BUG FIXES:
2830
2831
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2832
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2833
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2834
2835
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2836
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2837
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2838
2839
2840
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2841
-----------------------
2842
2843
IMPROVEMENTS:
2844
2845
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2846
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2847
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2848
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2849
2850
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2851
(Marius Kruger)
2852
2853
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2854
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2855
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2856
2857
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2858
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2859
2860
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2861
(Aaron Bentley)
2862
2863
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2864
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2865
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2866
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2867
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2868
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2869
2870
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2871
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2872
should enable you to do::
2873
2874
[/home/user/project]
2875
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2876
push_location:policy = appendpath
2877
2878
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2879
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2880
(James Henstridge)
2881
2882
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2883
for each file. For example::
2884
2885
$ bzr status --short
2886
A foo
2887
A bar
2888
D baz
2889
? wooley
2890
2891
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2892
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2893
2894
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2895
2896
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2897
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2898
2899
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2900
2901
INTERNALS:
2902
2903
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2904
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2905
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2906
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2907
2908
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2909
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2910
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2911
2912
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2913
2914
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2915
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2916
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2917
(Alexander Belchenko)
2918
2919
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2920
Pool)
2921
2922
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2923
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2924
2925
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2926
2927
BUG FIXES:
2928
2929
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2930
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2931
2932
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2933
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2934
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2935
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2936
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2937
2938
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2939
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2940
2941
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2942
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2943
2944
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2945
matcher.
2946
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2947
2948
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2949
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2950
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2951
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2952
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2953
2954
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2955
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2956
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2957
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2958
2959
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2960
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2961
2962
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2963
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2964
2965
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2966
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2967
2968
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2980
IMPROVEMENTS:
2981
2982
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2983
tree from a branch.
2984
(Daniel Silverstone)
2985
2986
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2987
operations are substantially faster.
2988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2989
2990
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2991
tree from some other url. For example:
2992
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2993
(Daniel Silverstone)
2994
2995
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2996
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2997
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2998
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2999
3000
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3001
(Andrew Bennetts)
3002
3003
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3004
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3005
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3006
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3007
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3008
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3009
3010
INTERNALS:
3011
3012
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3013
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3014
(Martin Pool)
3015
3016
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3017
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3018
(John Arbash Meinel)
3019
3020
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3021
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3022
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3023
(John Arbash Meinel)
3024
3025
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3026
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3027
3028
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3029
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3030
3031
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3032
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3033
Bennetts)
3034
3035
BUG FIXES:
3036
3037
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3038
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3039
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3040
3041
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3042
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3043
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3044
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3045
3046
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3047
3048
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3049
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3050
3051
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3052
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3053
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3055
3056
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3057
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3058
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3059
3060
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3061
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3062
them as full references rather than integers.
3063
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3064
3065
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3066
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3067
3068
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3069
3070
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3071
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3072
3073
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3074
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3075
3076
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3077
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3078
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3079
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3080
3081
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3082
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3083
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3084
3085
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3086
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3087
3088
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3089
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3090
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3091
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3092
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3093
3094
TESTING:
3095
3096
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3097
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3100
--------------------
3101
3102
INTERNALS:
3103
3104
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

3108
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3109
-----------------------
3110
3111
IMPROVEMENTS:
3112
3113
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3114
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3115
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3116
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3117
3118
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3119
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3120
3121
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3122
3123
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3124
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3125
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3126
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3127
3128
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3129
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3130
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3131
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3132
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3133
3134
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3135
3136
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3137
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3138
3139
INTERNALS:
3140
3141
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3142
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3143
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3144
3145
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3146
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3147
(John Arbash Meinel)
3148
3149
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3150
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3151
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3152
3153
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3154
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3155
(Aaron Bentley)
3156
3157
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3158
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3159
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3160
3161
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3162
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3163
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3164
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3165
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3166
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3167
3168
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3169
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3170
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3171
(Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3174
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3175
3176
BUG FIXES:
3177
3178
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3179
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3180
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3181
#63360, #66349)
3182
3183
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3184
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3185
3186
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3187
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3188
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3189
3190
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3191
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3192
3193
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3194
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3195
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3196
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3197
3198
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3199
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3200
3201
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3202
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3203
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3204
3205
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3206
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3207
3208
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3209
3210
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3211
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3212
#32054)
3213
3214
TESTING:
3215
3216
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3217
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3218
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3219
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3222
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3223
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3224
3225
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3226
--------------------
3227
3228
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3229
3230
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3231
-----------------------
3232
3233
BUG FIXES:
3234
3235
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3236
3237
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3238
Arbash Meinel).
3239
3240
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3241
-----------------------
3242
3243
IMPROVEMENTS:
3244
3245
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3246
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3247
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3248
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3249
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3250
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3251
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3252
3253
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3254
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3255
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3256
3257
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3258
3259
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3260
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3261
3262
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3263
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3264
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3265
(Robert Collins)
3266
3267
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3268
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3269
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3270
(John Arbash Meinel)
3271
3272
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3273
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3274
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3275
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3276
Pool)
3277
3278
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3279
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3280
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3281
(John Arbash Meinel)
3282
3283
BUG FIXES:
3284
3285
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3286
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3287
3288
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3289
3290
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3291
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3292
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3293
3294
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3295
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3296
3297
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3298
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3299
3300
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3302
3303
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3304
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3305
3306
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3307
3308
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3309
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3310
3311
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3312
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3313
3314
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3315
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3316
3317
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3318
(John Arbash Meinel)
3319
3320
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3321
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3322
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3323
3324
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3325
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3326
3327
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3328
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3329
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3330
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3331
3332
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3333
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3334
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3335
3336
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3337
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3338
3339
PORTABILITY:
3340
3341
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3342
3343
INTERNALS:
3344
3345
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3346
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3347
(John Arbash Meinel)
3348
3349
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3350
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3351
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3352
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3353
3354
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3355
(Andrew Bennetts)
3356
3357
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3358
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3359
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3360
3361
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3362
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3363
3364
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3365
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3366
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3367
3368
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3369
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3370
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3371
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3372
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3373
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3374
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3375
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3376
caller to repeat their request.
3377
(John Arbash Meinel)
3378
3379
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3380
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3381
3382
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3383
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3384
3385
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3386
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3387
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3388
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3389
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3390
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3391
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3392
3393
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3394
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3395
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3396
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3397
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3398
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3399
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3400
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3401
(Robert Collins)
3402
3403
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3404
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3405
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3406
3407
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3408
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3409
3410
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3411
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3412
3413
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3414
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3415
3416
TESTING:
3417
3418
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3419
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3420
3421
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3422
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3423
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3424
3425
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3426
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3427
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3428
3429
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3430
--------------------
3431
3432
IMPROVEMENTS:
3433
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3434
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3435
3436
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3437
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3438
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3439
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3440
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3441
3442
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3443
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3444
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3445
3446
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3447
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3448
3449
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3450
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3451
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3452
3453
BUG FIXES:
3454
3455
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3456
3457
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3458
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3459
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3460
3461
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3462
3463
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3464
3465
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3466
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3467
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3468
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3469
3470
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3471
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3472
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3473
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3474
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3475
3476
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3477
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3478
3479
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3480
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3481
3482
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3483
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3484
3485
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3486
in handling of revision properties.
3487
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3488
3489
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3490
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3491
3492
INTERNALS:
3493
3494
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3495
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3496
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3497
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3498
(John Arbash Meinel)
3499
3500
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3501
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3502
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3503
3504
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3505
---------------------
3506
3507
SURPRISES:
3508
3509
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3510
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3511
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3512
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3513
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3514
a more conservative list than the old default.
3515
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3516
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3517
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3518
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3519
3520
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3521
to more locations than just branch locations.
3522
(Aaron Bentley)
3523
3524
IMPROVEMENTS:
3525
3526
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3527
revno:N:branch. For example,
3528
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3529
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3530
3531
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3532
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3533
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3534
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3535
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3536
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3537
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3538
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3539
#42517, #42514)
3540
3541
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3542
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3543
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3544
(Malone #3507)
3545
3546
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3547
(Alexander Belchenko)
3548
3549
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3550
3551
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3552
(Robert Collins).
3553
3554
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3555
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3556
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3557
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3558
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3559
(John Arbash Meinel)
3560
3561
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3562
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3563
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3564
grained analysis of performance.
3565
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3566
3567
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3568
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3569
3570
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3571
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3572
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3573
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3574
file. (Robert Collins).
3575
3576
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3577
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3578
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3579
3580
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3581
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3582
Matthieu Moy)
3583
3584
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3585
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3586
3587
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3588
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3589
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3590
the same way you would apply another branch.
3591
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3592
3593
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3594
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3595
3596
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3597
(Michael Ellerman)
3598
3599
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3600
(Aaron Bentley)
3601
3602
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3603
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3604
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3605
3606
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3607
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3608
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3609
3610
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3611
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3612
3613
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3614
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3615
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3616
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3617
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3618
3619
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3620
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3621
3622
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3623
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3624
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3625
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3626
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3627
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3628
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3629
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3630
3631
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3632
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3633
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3634
3635
BUG FIXES:
3636
3637
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3638
tests not to run.

(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)

3641
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3642
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3643
3644
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3645
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3646
3647
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3648
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3649
3650
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)

3652
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3653
(John Arbash Meinel)
3654
3655
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3656
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3657
3658
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3659
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3660
and y.
3661
3662
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3663
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3664
3665
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3666
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3667
3668
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3669
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3670
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3671
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3672
3673
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.

3686
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3687
3688
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3689
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3690
3691
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3692
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3693
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3694
3695
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3696
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3697
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3698
3699
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3700
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3701
3702
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3703
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3704
3705
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3706
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3707
3708
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3709
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3710
3711
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3712
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3713
3714
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3715
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3716
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3717
3718
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3719
3720
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3721
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3722
3723
INTERNALS:
3724
3725
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3726
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3727
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3728
3729
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3730
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3731
3732
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3733
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3734
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3735
3736
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3737
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3738
3739
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3740
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3741
(Martin Pool)
3742
3743
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3744
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3745
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3746
3747
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3748
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3749
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3750
3751
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3752
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3753
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3754
3755
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3756
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3757
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3758
3759
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3760
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3761
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3762
3763
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3764
instead. (Robert Collins)
3765

3823
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3824
-------------------
3825
3826
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3827
3828
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3829
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3830
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3831
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3832
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3833
will keep the same format.
3834
3835
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3836
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3837
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3838
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3839
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3840
3841
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3842
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3843
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3844
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3845
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3846
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3847
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3848
3849
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3850
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3851
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3852
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3853
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3854
3855
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3856
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3857
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3858
arrangement.
3859
3860
3861
IMPROVEMENTS:
3862
3863
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3864
convention. Paths now take the form::
3865
3866
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3867
or
3868
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3869
3870
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3871
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3872
3873
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3874
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3875
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3876
3877
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3878
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3879
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3880
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3881
3882
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3883
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3884
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3885
3886
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3887
3888
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3889
3890
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3891
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3892
commits::
3893
3894
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3895
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3896
| xargs bzr re-sign
3897
3898
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3899
3900
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3901
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3902
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3903
(Robert Collins)
3904
3905
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3906
3907
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3908
3909
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3910
'.moved'.
3911
3912
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3913
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3914
3915
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3916
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3917
Daniel Silverstone)
3918
3919
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3920
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3921
Martin Pool)
3922
3923
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3924
3925
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3926
3927
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3928
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3929
3930
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3931
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3932
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3933
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3934
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3935
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3936
3937
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3938
3939
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3940
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3941
(Robert Collins)
3942
3943
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3944
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3945
3946
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3947
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3948
3949
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3950
3951
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3952
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3953
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3954
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3955
specification by Martin Pool.
3956
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3957
3958
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3959
Belchenko)
3960
3961
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3962
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3963
3964
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3965
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3966
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3967
3968
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3969
3970
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3971
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3972
(Robert Collins)
3973
3974
CHANGES:
3975
3976
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3977
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3978
3979
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3980
3981
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3982
3983
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3984
(Olaf Conradi)
3985
3986
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3987
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3988
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3989
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3990
3991
INTERNALS:
3992
3993
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3994
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3995
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3996
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3997
3998
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3999
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4000
tried. (Martin Pool)
4001
4002
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4003
(Martin Pool)
4004
4005
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4006
4007
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4008
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4009
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4010
4011
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4012
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4013
4014
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4015
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4016
paths. (Robert Collins)
4017
4018
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4019
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4020
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4021
4022
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4023
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4024
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4025
4026
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4027
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4028
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4029
4030
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4031
(Olaf Conradi)
4032
4033
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4034
(Olaf Conradi)
4035
4036
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4037
4038
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4039
4040
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4041
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4042
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4043
(Robert Collins)
4044
4045
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4046
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4047
4048
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4049
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4050
check. (Robert Collins)
4051
4052
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4053
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4054
4055
TESTING:
4056
4057
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4058
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4059
4060
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4061
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4062
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4063
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4064
4065
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4066
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4067
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4068
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4069
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4070
4071
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4072
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4073
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4074
4075
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4076
4077
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4078
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4083
CHANGES:
4084
4085
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4086
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4087
4088
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4089
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4090
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4091
(Johan Rydberg)
4092
4093
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4094
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4095
4096
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4097
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4098
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4099
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4100
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4101
4102
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4103
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4104
used. (Robert Collins)
4105
4106
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4107
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4108
(James Henstridge)
4109
4110
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4111
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4112
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4113
4114
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4115
ignore list.
4116
4117
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4118
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4119
4120
IMPROVEMENTS:
4121
4122
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4123
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4124
4125
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4126
4127
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4128
4129
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4130
tree. (Robert Collins)
4131
4132
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4133
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4134
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4135
(Robert Collins)
4136
4137
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4138
that they be kept.
4139
4140
* Tweaks to short log printing
4141
4142
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4143
(Aaron Bentley)
4144
4145
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4146
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4147
4148
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4149
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4150
4151
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4152
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4153
4154
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4155
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4156
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4157
4158
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4159
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4160
4161
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4162
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4163
requests.
4164
4165
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4166
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4167
4168
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4169
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4170
4171
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4172
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4173
4174
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4175
(Denys Duchier)
4176
4177
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4178
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4179
4180
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4181
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4182
4183
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4184
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4185
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4186
4187
BUG FIXES:
4188
4189
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4190
4191
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4192
4193
* Error when run with -OO
4194
4195
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4196
(Martin Pool)
4197
4198
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4199
4200
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4201
4202
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4203
ignored by diff and status
4204
4205
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4206
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4207
4208
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4209
4210
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4211
4212
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4213
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4214
4215
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4216
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4217
4218
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4219
(Harald Meland)
4220
4221
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4222
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4223
4224
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4225
4226
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4227
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4228
4229
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4230
(Martin Pool)
4231
4232
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4233
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4234
4235
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4236
4237
TESTING:
4238
4239
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4240
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4241
4242
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4243
4244
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4245
4246
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4247
4248
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4249
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4250
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4251
4252
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4253
4254
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4255
(John Arbash Meinel)
4256
4257
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4258
4259
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4260
If adding a new test script please add that to
4261
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4262
4263
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4264
imported. (Martin Pool)
4265
4266
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4267
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4268
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4269
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4270
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4271
(Robert Collins)
4272
4273
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4274
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4275
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4276
4277
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4278
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4279
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4280
4281
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4282
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4283
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4284
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4285
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4286
(Robert Collins).
4287
4288
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4289
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4290
(Robert Collins).
4291
4292
INTERNALS:
4293
4294
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4295
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4296
4297
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4298
function. (Robert Collins)
4299
4300
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4301
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4302
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4303
4304
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4305
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4306
(Robert Collins)
4307
4308
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4309
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4310
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4311
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4312
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4313
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4314
version. (Robert Collins)
4315
4316
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4317
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4318
4319
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4320
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4321
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4322
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4323
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4324
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4325
4326
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4327
(Robert Collins)
4328
4329
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4330
4331
add()
4332
commit()
4333
move()
4334
rename_one()
4335
unknowns()
4336
4337
(Robert Collins)
4338
4339
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4340
4341
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4342
4343
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4344
Pool)
4345
4346
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4347
query method. (Robert Collins)
4348
4349
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4350
(Denys Duchier)
4351
4352
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4353
(Michael Ellerman)
4354
4355
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4356
(Michael Ellerman)
4357
4358
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4359
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4360
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4361
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4362
4363
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4364
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4365
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4366
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4367
4368
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4369
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4370
4371
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4372
------------------
4373
4374
IMPROVEMENTS:
4375
4376
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4377
(John A Meinel)
4378
4379
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4380
conflicts.
4381
(Aaron Bentley)
4382
4383
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4384
a separator, not ':'.
4385
(Aaron Bentley)
4386
4387
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4388
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4389
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4390
4391
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4392
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4393
(Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4396
has been added that suppresses all output.
4397
4398
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4399
Adams.
4400
4401
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4402
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4403
4404
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4405
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4406
4407
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4408
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4409
4410
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4411
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4412
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4413
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4414
4415
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4416
4417
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4418
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4419
4420
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4421
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4422
4423
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4424
output directory, if one was supplied.
4425
4426
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4427
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4428
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4429
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4430
4431
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4432
4433
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4434
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4435
4436
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4437
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4438
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4439
4440
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4441
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4442
4443
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4444
(Aaron Bentley)
4445
4446
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4447
4448
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4449
4450
TESTING:
4451
4452
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4453
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4454
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4455
4456
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4457
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4458
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4459
4460
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4461
is given. (Martin Pool)
4462
4463
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4464
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4465
file. (Robert Collins)
4466
4467
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4468
(Martin Pool)
4469
4470
INTERNALS:
4471
4472
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4473
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4474
representation. (Martin Pool).
4475
4476
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4477
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4478
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4479
4480
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4481
(Robert Collins)
4482
4483
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4484
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4485
Magnus Therning.
4486
4487
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4488
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4489
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4490
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4491
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4492
4493
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4494
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4495
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4496
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4497
python path. (Robert Collins)
4498
4499
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4500
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4501
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4502
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4503
4504
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4505
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4506
4507
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4508
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4509
(Robert Collins)
4510
4511
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4512
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4513
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4514
4515
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4516
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4517
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4518
4519
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4520
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4521
4522
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4523
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4524
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4525
(Robert Collins)
4526
4527
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4528
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4529
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4530
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4531
(Robert Collins)
4532
4533
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4534
(Robert Collins)
4535
4536
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4537
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4538
(Robert Collins)
4539
4540
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4541
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4542
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4543
4544
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4545
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4546
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4547
4548
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4549
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4550
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4551
4552
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4553
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4554
4555
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4556
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4557
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4558
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4559
caller. (Robert Collins)
4560
4561
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4562
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4563
(Robert Collins).
4564
4565
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4566
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4567
(Aaron Bentley)
4568
4569
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4570
4571
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4572
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4573
4574
BUG FIXES:
4575
4576
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4577
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4578
4579
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4580
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4583
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4584
--------------------
4585
4586
BUG FIXES:
4587
4588
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4589
allow directories to be listed.
4590
4591
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4592
upgrading branch format.
4593
4594
PERFORMANCE:
4595
4596
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4600
------------------
4601
4602
NOTES:
4603
4604
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4605
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4606
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4607
high-latency connections.
4608
4609
BUG FIXES:
4610
4611
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4612
Rob Weir.
4613
4614
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4615
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4616
4617
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4618
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4619
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4620
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4621
4622
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4623
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4624
4625
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4626
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4627
4628
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4629
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4630
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4631
4632
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4633
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4634
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4635
Robert Collins
4636
4637
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4638
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4639
4640
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4641
different partial views of history.
4642
4643
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4644
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4645
4646
IMPROVEMENTS:
4647
4648
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4649
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4650
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4651
4652
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4653
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4654
'bzr upgrade'.
4655
4656
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4657
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4658
4659
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4660
Niemeyer.
4661
4662
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4663
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4664
4665
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4666
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4667
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4668
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4669
4670
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4671
4672
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4673
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4674
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4675
4676
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4677
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4678
4679
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4680
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4681
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4682
4683
4684
INTERNALS:
4685
4686
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4687
for your viewing pleasure.
4688
4689
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4690
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4691
4692
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4693
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4694
handling of such circumstances.
4695
4696
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4697
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4698
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4699
4700
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4701
4702
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4703
we call them revisions not patches.
4704
4705
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4706
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4707
4708
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4709
giving the revision *of that file*.
4710
4711
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4712
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4713
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4714
4715
TESTING:
4716
4717
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4718
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4719
4720
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4721
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4722
4723
4724
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4725
--------------------
4726
4727
BUG FIXES:
4728
4729
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4730
4731
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4732
(Robert Collins).
4733
4734
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4735
4736
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4737
4738
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4739
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4740
4741
IMPROVEMENTS:
4742
4743
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4744
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4745
4746
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4747
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4748
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4749
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4750
Robey Pointer
4751
4752
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4753
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4754
4755
INTERNALS:
4756
4757
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4758
4759
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4760
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4761
4762
4763
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4764
--------------------
4765
4766
IMPROVEMENTS:
4767
4768
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4769
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4770
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4771
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4772
Michael Ellerman.
4773
4774
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4775
(Nir Soffer)
4776
4777
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4778
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4779
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4780
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4781
for the operating system is still tried.
4782
4783
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4784
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4785
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4786
4787
4788
INTERNALS:
4789
4790
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4791
4792
BUG FIXES:
4793
4794
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4795
4796
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4797
branch.
4798
4799
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4800
read.
4801
4802
4803
PORTABILITY:
4804
4805
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4806
4807
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4808
4809
4810
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4811
--------------------
4812
4813
NEW FEATURES:
4814
4815
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4816
help with intelligent shell completion.
4817
4818
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4819
4820
4821
ENHANCEMENTS:
4822
4823
* Much better merge support.
4824
4825
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4826
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4827
like emacs smerge.
4828
4829
4830
BUG FIXES:
4831
4832
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4833
mention revisions that are not present.
4834
4835
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4836
4837
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4838
4839
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4840
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4841
4842
4843
CHANGES:
4844
4845
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4846
4847
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4848
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4849
--help themselves.
4850
4851
4852
LIBRARY:
4853
4854
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4855
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4856
libraries.
4857
4858
4859
4860
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4861
--------------------
4862
4863
NEW FEATURES:
4864
4865
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4866
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4867
4868
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4869
4870
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4871
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4872
4873
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4874
FOO.
4875
4876
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4877
4878
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4879
the Unix command.
4880
4881
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4882
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4883
4884
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4885
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4886
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4887
4888
4889
ENHANCEMENTS:
4890
4891
* Faster working tree operations.
4892
4893
4894
CHANGES:
4895
4896
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4897
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4898
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4899
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4900
4901
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4902
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4903
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4904
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4905
standard plugins directory.
4906
4907
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4908
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4909
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4910
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4911
4912
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4913
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4914
4915
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4916
disk.
4917
4918
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4919
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4920
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4921
4922
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4923
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4924
4925
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4926
line options must come before the command name because they
4927
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4928
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4929
it.
4930
4931
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4932
4933
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4934
is available with ``--short``.
4935
4936
4937
BUG FIXES:
4938
4939
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4940
4941
4942
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4943
---------------------
4944
4945
CHANGES:
4946
4947
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4948
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4949
4950
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4951
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4952
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4953
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4954
4955
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4956
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4957
with the ``--forward`` option.
4958
4959
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4960
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4961
field.
4962
4963
4964
ENHANCEMENTS:
4965
4966
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4967
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4968
4969
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4970
4971
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4972
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4973
4974
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4975
4976
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4977
either read or write mode.
4978
4979
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4980
4981
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4982
affected that file.
4983
4984
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4985
4986
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4987
suggested by LarstiQ.
4988
4989
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4990
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4991
4992
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4993
a filename.
4994
4995
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4996
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4997
4998
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4999
haven't changed since the previous time.
5000
5001
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5002
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5003
5004
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5005
5006
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5007
5008
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5009
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5010
5011
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5012
options through to an external GNU diff.
5013
5014
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5015
their contents.
5016
5017
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5018
from a branch.
5019
5020
5021
BUG FIXES:
5022
5023
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5024
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5025
5026
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5027
metacharacters.
5028
5029
5030
TESTING:
5031
5032
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5033
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5034
the tests.
5035
5036
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5037
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5038
5039
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5040
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5041
5042
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5043
under a different version.
5044
5045
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5046
5047
5048
INTERNAL:
5049
5050
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5051
5052
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5053
Scott James Remnant.
5054
5055
* Better help messages for many commands.
5056
5057
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5058
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5059
5060
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5061
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5062
5063
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5064
5065
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5066
5067
* New AtomicFile class.
5068
5069
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5070
5071
5072
PORTABILITY:
5073
5074
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5075
2.4 is now only recommended.
5076
5077
5078
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5079
---------------------
5080
5081
ENHANCEMENTS:
5082
5083
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5084
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5085
5086
* More default ignore patterns.
5087
5088
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5089
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5090
5091
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5092
5093
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5094
by Jason Diamon.
5095
5096
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5097
5098
5099
CHANGES:
5100
5101
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5102
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5103
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5104
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5105
there are DNS problems.
5106
5107
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5108
5109
5110
BUG FIXES:
5111
5112
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5113
5114
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5115
5116
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5117
trailing newlines properly.
5118
5119
5120
INTERNAL:
5121
5122
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5123
Matt Brubeck.
5124
5125
