IN DEVELOPMENT

--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
13
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
14
15
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
16
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
17
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
18
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
19
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
20
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
21
(Aaron Bentley)
22
23
FEATURES:
24
25
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
26
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
27
28
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
29
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
30
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
31
client. (Andrew Bennetts, #178353)
32
33
IMPROVEMENTS:
34
35
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
36
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
37
38
BUGFIXES:
39
40
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
41
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
42
43
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
44
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
45
46
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
47
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
48
49
API BREAKS:
50
51
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
52
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
53
54
INTERNALS:
55
56
* Add -Dtimes debug flag, which records a timestamp against each mutter to
57
the trace file, relative to the first mutter. (Andrew Bennetts)
58
59
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
60
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
61
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
62
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
63
64
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
65
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
66
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
67
68
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
69
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
70
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
71
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
72
73
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
74
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
75
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
76
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
77
78
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
79
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
80
81
82
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
83
------------------
84
85
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
86
87
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
88
---------------------
89
90
CHANGES:
91
92
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
93
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
94
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
95
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
96
97
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
98
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
99
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
100
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
101
102
FEATURES:
103
104
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
105
(Lukáš Lalinský)
106
107
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
108
(Aaron Bentley)
109
110
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
111
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
112
113
IMPROVEMENTS:
114
115
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
116
#90049)
117
118
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
119
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
120
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
121
122
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
123
124
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
125
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
126
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
127
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
128
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
129
130
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
131
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
132
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
133
134
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
135
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
136
137
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
138
(Vincent Ladeuil)
139
140
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
141
142
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
143
144
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
145
(Aaron Bentley)
146
147
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
148
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
149
150
BUGFIXES:
151
152
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
153
(Martin Pool, #180208)
154
155
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
157
158
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
159
(Aaron Bentley)
160
161
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
162
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
163
164
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
165
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
166
167
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
168
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
169
170
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
171
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
172
173
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
174
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
175
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
176
177
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
178
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
179
180
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
181
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
182
(Aaron Bentley)
183
184
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
185
186
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
187
user:pass embedded in the urls.
188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
189
190
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
191
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
192
193
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
194
(Aaron Bentley)
195
196
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
197
#148087)
198
199
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
200
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
201
202
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
203
#137681)
204
205
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
206
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
207
(Aaron Bentley)
208
209
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
210
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
212
213
DOCUMENTATION:
214
215
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
216
(Ian Clatworthy)
217
218
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
219
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
220
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
221
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
222
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
223
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
224
225
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
226
227
INTERNALS:
228
229
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
230
(Aaron Bentley)
231
232
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
233
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
234
235
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
236
237
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
238
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
239
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
240
Robert Collins)
241
242
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
243
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
244
245
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
246
(Vincent Ladeuil)
247
248
API BREAKS:
249
250
TESTING:
251
252
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
253
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
254
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
255
256
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
257
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
258
(Robert Collins)
259
260
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
261
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
262
263
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
264
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
265
266
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
267
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
268
269
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
270
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
271
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
272
273
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
274
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
275
276
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
277
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
278
279
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
280
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
281
(Vincent Ladeuil)
282
283
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
284
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
285
286
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
287
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
288
289

bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
291
------------------
292
293
DOCUMENTATION:
294
295
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
296
297
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
298
(Ian Clatworthy)
299
300
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
301
302
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
303
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
304
(Ian Clatworthy)
305
306
307
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
308
---------------------
309
310
CHANGES:
311
312
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
313
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
314
by mail to the mailing list.
315
(Martin Pool)
316
317
BUGFIXES:
318
319
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
320
321
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
322
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
323
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
324
feedback but also incur more latency.
325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
326
327
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
328
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
329
330
DOCUMENTATION:
331
332
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
333
334
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
335
(Ian Clatworthy)
336
337
INTERNALS:
338
339
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
340
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
341
wraps its output in a StringIO.
342
(Vincent Ladeuil)
343
344
345
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
346
---------------------
347
348
IMPROVEMENTS:
349
350
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
351
352
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
353
(Aaron Bentley)
354
355
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
356
Nordhoff, #172612)
357
358
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
359
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
360
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
361
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
362
363
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
364
(Kent Gibson)
365
366
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
367
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
368
369
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
370
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
371
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
372
373
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
374
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
375
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
376
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
377
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
378
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
379
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
380
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
381
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
382
383
INTERNALS:
384
385
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
386
(Vincent Ladeuil)
387
388
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
389
390
BUGFIXES:
391
392
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
393
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
394
395
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
396
filename to user.
397
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
398
399
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
400
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
401
required.
402
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
403
404
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
405
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
406
407
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
408
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
409
410
API BREAKS:
411
412
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
413
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
414
415
416
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
417
---------------------
418
419
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
420
421
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
422
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
423
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
424
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
425
426
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
427
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
428
429
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
430
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
431
432
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
433
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
434
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
435
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
436
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
437
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
438
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
439
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
440
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
441
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
442
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
443
from any tree without problems.
444
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
445
446
CHANGES:
447
448
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
449
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
450
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
451
452
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
453
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
454
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
455
(Martin Pool)
456
457
FEATURES:
458
459
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
460
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
461
supported transports.
462
(Vincent Ladeuil)
463
464
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
465
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
466
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
467
468
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
469
(Robert Collins, #154173)
470
471
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
472
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
473
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
474
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
475
476
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
477
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
478
479
PERFORMANCE:
480
481
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
482
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
483
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
484
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
485
486
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
487
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
488
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
489
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
490
491
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
492
(Robert Collins, #88319)
493
494
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
495
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
496
497
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
498
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
499
500
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
501
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
502
(Aaron Bentley)
503
504
IMPROVEMENTS:
505
506
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
507
(Aaron Bentley)
508
509
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
510
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
511
(Lukáš Lalinský)
512
513
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
514
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
515
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
516
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
517
518
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
519
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
520
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
521
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
522
523
DOCUMENTATION:
524
525
BUG FIXES:
526
527
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
528
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
529
530
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
531
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
532
533
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
534
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
535
536
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
538
539
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
540
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
541
542
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
543
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
544
545
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
547
548
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
549
(Aaron Bentley)
550
551
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
552
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
553
554
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
555
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
556
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
557
558
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
559
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
560
561
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
562
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
563
564
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
565
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
566
567
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
569
570
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
571
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
572
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
573
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
574
on them.
575
(Martin Pool, #164637)
576
577
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
578
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
580
581
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
582
(Robert Collins, #161240)
583
584
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
585
to be reconciled.
586
(Martin Pool, #164443)
587
588
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
589
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
590
591
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
592
specify a port in urls.
593
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
594
595
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
596
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
597
598
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
599
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
600
601
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
602
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
603
604
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
605
(Robert Collins, #153789)
606
607
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
608
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
609
(Robert Collins, #165304).
610
611
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
612
613
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
614
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
615
616
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
617
Watkins, #152811)
618
619
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
620
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
621
622
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
623
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
624
625
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
626
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
627
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
628
629
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
630
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
631
632
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
633
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
634
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
635
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
636
637
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
638
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
639
640
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
641
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
642
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
643
644
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
645
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
646
647
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
648
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
649
650
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
652
653
API BREAKS:
654
655
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
656
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
657
658
* The return value of
659
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
660
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
661
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
662
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
663
664
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
665
(Robert Collins)
666
667
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
668
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
669
format.
670
(Martin Pool)
671
672
INTERNALS:
673
674
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
675
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
676
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
677
Bennetts)
678
679
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
680
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
681
682
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
699
700
CHANGES:
701
702
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
703
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
704
705
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
706
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
707
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
708
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
709
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
710
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
711
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
712
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
713
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
714
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
715
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
716
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
717
(Robert Collins)
718
719
FEATURES:
720
721
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
722
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
723
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
724
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
725
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
726
for further details. (Robert Collins)
727
728
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
729
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
730
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
731
(Robert Collins)
732
733
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
734
735
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
736
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
737
738
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
739
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
740
(Aaron Bentley)
741
742
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
743
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
744
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
745
746
PERFORMANCE:
747
748
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
749
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
750
751
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
752
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
753
754
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
755
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
756
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
757
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
758
759
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
760
(Robert Collins)
761
762
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
763
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
764
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
765
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
766
767
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
768
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
769
770
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
771
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
772
773
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
774
the contents. (Robert Collins)
775
776
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
777
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
778
779
IMPROVEMENTS:
780
781
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
782
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
783
784
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
785
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
786
787
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
788
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
789
790
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
791
(Martin Pool, #63894)
792
793
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
794
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
795
796
DOCUMENTATION:
797
798
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
799
800
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
801
(Ian Clatworthy)
802
803
BUG FIXES:
804
805
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
806
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
807
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
808
809
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
810
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
811
812
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
813
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
814
815
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
816
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
817
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
818
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
819
820
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
821
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
822
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
823
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
824
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
825
826
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
827
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
828
paramiko.
829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
830
831
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
832
833
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
834
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
835
836
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
837
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
838
839
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
841
842
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
843
contains a symbolic link.
844
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
845
846
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
847
(James Westby, #140615)
848
849
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
850
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
851
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
852
853
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
854
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
855
(Martin Pool, #144633)
856
857
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
858
859
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
860
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
861
862
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
863
will remain opened.
864
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
865
866
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
867
directory to detect leaking tests.
868
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
869
870
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
871
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
872
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
873
874
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
875
(Rob Weir, #141629)
876
877
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
878
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
879
880
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
881
Merwe)
882
883
API BREAKS:
884
885
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
886
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
887
888
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
889
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
890
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
891
892
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
893
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
894
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
895
896
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
897
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
898
899
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
900
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
901
902
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
903
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
904
(Martin Pool)
905
906
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
907
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
908
909
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
910
class that needs it.
911
(Martin Pool)
912
913
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
914
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
915
916
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
917
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
918
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
919
920
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
921
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
922
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
923
(Robert Collins)
924
925
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
926
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
927
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
928
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
929
(Robert Collins)
930
931
INTERNALS:
932
933
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
934
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
935
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
936
937
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
938
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
939
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
940
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
941
942
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
943
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
944
(Robert Collins)
945
946
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
947
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
948
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
949
950
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
951
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
952
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
953
954
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
955
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
956
957
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
958
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
959
to complete. (Robert Collins)
960
961
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
962
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
963
964
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
965
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
966
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
967
968
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
969
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
970
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
971
972
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
973
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
974
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
975
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
976
977
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
978
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
979
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
980
returned. (Robert Collins)
981
982
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
983
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
984
985
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
986
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
987
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
988
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
989
(Robert Collins)
990
991
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
992
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
993
994
TESTING:
995
996
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
997
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
998
999
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1000
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1001
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1002
makes this behavior available to other users.
1003
(Martin Pool)
1004
1005
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1006
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1012
BUG FIXES:
1013
1014
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1015
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1016
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1017
1018
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1019
1020
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1021
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1022
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1023
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1024
1025
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1026
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1027
(Andrew Bennetts)

1029
1030
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1031
----------------------
1032
1033

1034
in bzrlib/remote.py.

----------------------
1039
1040
CHANGES:
1041
1042
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1043
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1044
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1045
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1046
(Martin Pool)
1047
1048
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1049
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1050
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1051
(Ian Clatworthy)
1052
1053
FEATURES:
1054
1055
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1056
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1057
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1058
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1059
1060
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1061
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1062
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1063
1064
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1065
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1066
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1067
1068
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1069
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1070
1071
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1072
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1073
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1074
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1075
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1076
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1077
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1078
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1079
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1080
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1081
1082
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1083
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1084
1085
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1086
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1087
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1088
1089
BUG FIXES:
1090
1091
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1092
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1093
1094
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1095
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1096
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1097
1098
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1099
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1100
1101
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1102
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1103
1104
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1105
(Aaron Bentley)
1106
1107
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1108
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1109
1110
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1111
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1112
1113
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1114
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1115
1116
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1117
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1118
1119
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1120
1121
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1122
Watkins, #106726)
1123
1124
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1125
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1126
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1127
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1128
1129
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1130
1131
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1132
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1133
#133548)
1134
1135
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1136
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1137
1138
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1139
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1140
#116143)
1141
1142
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1143
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1144
1145
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1146
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1147
1148
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1149
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1150
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1151
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1152
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1153
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1154
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1155
1156
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1157
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1158
1159
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1160
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1161
1162
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1163
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1164
1165
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1167
1168
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1169
connections.
1170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1171
1172
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1173
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1174
1175
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1176
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1177
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1178
1179
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1180
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1181
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1182
1183
IMPROVEMENTS:
1184
1185
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1186
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1187
1188
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1189
(Aaron Bentley)
1190
1191
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1192
(Aaron Bentley)
1193
1194
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1195
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1196
1197
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1198
1199
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1200
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1201
1202
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1203
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1204
1205
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1206
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1207
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1208
space). (Robert Collins)
1209
1210
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1211
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1212
(Ian Clatworthy)
1213
1214
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1215
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1216
1217
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1218
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1219
1220
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1221
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1222
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1223
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1224
1225
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1226
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1227
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1228
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1229
1230
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1231
(Ian Clatworthy)
1232
1233
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1234
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1235
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1236
1237
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1238
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1239
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1240
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1241
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1242
1243
API BREAKS:
1244
1245
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1246
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1247
1248
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1249
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1250
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1251
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1252
affected. (Robert Collins)
1253
1254
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1255
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1256
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1257
(Robert Collins)
1258
1259
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1260
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1261
1262
TESTING:
1263
1264
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1265
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1266
1267
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1268
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1269
1270
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1271
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1272
1273
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1274
(Aaron Bentley)
1275
1276
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1277
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1278
1279
INTERNALS:
1280
1281
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1282
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1283
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1284
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1285
1286
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1287
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1288
1289
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1290
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1291
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1292
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1293
1294
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1295
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1296
present. (Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1299
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1300
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1301
API. (Robert Collins)
1302
1303
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1304
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1305
(Robert Collins)
1306
1307
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1308
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1309
1310
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1311
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1312
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1313
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1314
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1315
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1316
1317
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1318
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1319
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1320
1321
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1322
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1323
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1324
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1325
protocol.
1326
1327
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1328
(Aaron Bentley)
1329
1330
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1331
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1332
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1333
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1334
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1335
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1336
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1337
1338
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1339
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1340
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1341
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1342
1343
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1344
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1345
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1346
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1347
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1348
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1349
1350
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1351
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1352
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1353
1354
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1355
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1359
-------------------
1360
1361
IMPROVEMENTS:
1362
1363
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1364
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1365
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1366
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1367
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1368
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1369
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1372
1373
API CHANGES:
1374
1375
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1376
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1377
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1381
----------------------
1382
1383
BUGFIXES:
1384
1385
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1386
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1387
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1388
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1389
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1390
1391
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1393
1394
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1395
anymore.
1396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1397
1398
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1399
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1400
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1401
1402
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1403
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1404
#111664)
1405
1406
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1407
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1408
1409
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1410
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1411
1412
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1413
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1414
1415
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1416
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1417
1418
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1419
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1420
1421
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1422
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1423
1424
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1425
(Aaron Bentley)
1426
1427
IMPROVEMENTS:
1428
1429
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1430
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1431
1432
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1433
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1434
1435
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1436
the repository (Robert Collins)
1437
1438
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1439
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1440
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1441
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1442
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1443
1444
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1445
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1446
1447
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1448
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1449
(John Arbash Meinel)
1450
1451
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1452
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1453
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1454
about 10%).
1455
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1456
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1457
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1458
(John Arbash Meinel)
1459
1460
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1461
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1462
(Robert Collins)
1463
1464
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1465
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1466
1467
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1468
(Ian Clatworthy)
1469
1470
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1471
1472
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1473
1474
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1475
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1476
1477
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1478
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1479
Meinel)
1480
1481
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1482
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1483
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1484
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1485
1486
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1487
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1488
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1489
1490
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1491
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1492
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1493
1494
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1495
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1496
1497
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1498
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1499
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1500
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1501
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1502
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1503
(Ian Clatworthy)
1504
1505
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1506
(Alexander Belchenko)
1507
1508
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1509
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1510
1511
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1512
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1513
1514
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1515
1516
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1517
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1518
1519
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1520
1521
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1522
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1523
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1524
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1525
1526
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1527
1528
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1529
(Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1532
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1533
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1534
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1535
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1536
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1537
1538
INTERNALS:
1539
1540
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1541
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1542
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1543
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1544
1545
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1546
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1547
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1548
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1549
tests have been refactored too.
1550
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1551
1552
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1553
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1554
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1555
list, it will.
1556
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1557
1558
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1559
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1560
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1561
1562
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1563
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1564
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1565
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1566
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1567
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1568
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1571
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1572
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1573
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1574
(John Arbash Meinel)
1575
1576
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1577
functionality for testing.
1578
1579
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1580
1581
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1582
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1583
1584
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1585
1586
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1587
(Robert Collins)
1588
1589
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1590
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1591
1592
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1593
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1594
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1595
1596
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1597
(Aaron Bentley)
1598
1599
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1600
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1601
1602
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1603
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1604
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1605
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1608
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1609
1610
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1611
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1612
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1613
1614
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1615
(Marius Kruger)
1616
1617
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1618
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1619
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1620
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1621
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1622
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1623
1624
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1625
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1626
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1627
many files. (Robert Collins)
1628
1629
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1630
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1631
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1632
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1633
1634
TESTING:
1635
1636
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1637
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1638
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1639
1640
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1641
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1642
1643
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1644
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1645
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1660
1661
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1662
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1663
1664
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1665
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1666
(James Westby, #122656)
1667
1668
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1669
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1670
1671
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1672
authentication header.
1673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1674
1675
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1676
1677
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1678
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1679
1680
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1681
1682
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1684
1685
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1686
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1688
1689
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1690
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1691
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1692
1693
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1694
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1695
1696
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1698
1699
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1700
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1701
1702
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1703
1704
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1705
1706
IMPROVEMENTS:
1707
1708
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1709
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1710
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1711
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1712
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1713
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1714
1715
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1716
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1717
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1718
1719
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1720
(Elliot Murphy)
1721
1722
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1723
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1724
1725
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1726
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1727
1728
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1729
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1730
1731
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1732
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1733
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1734
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1735
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1736
1737
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1738
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1739
1740
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1741
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1742
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1743
1744
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1745
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1746
1747
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1748
1749
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1750
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1751
1752
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1753
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1754
(Robert Collins)
1755
1756
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1757
(Martin Pool)
1758
1759
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1760
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1761
1762
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1763
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1764
1765
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1766
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1767
1768
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1769
1770
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1771
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1772
1773
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1774
(Andrew Bennetts)
1775
1776
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1777
1778
* Testing cleanups -
1779
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1780
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1781
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1782
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1783
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1784
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1785
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1786
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1787
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1788
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1789
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1790
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1791
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1792
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1793
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1794
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1795
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1796
(Robert Collins)
1797
1798
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1799
1800
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1801
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1802
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1803
1804
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1805
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1806
1807
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1808
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1809
1810
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1811
1812
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1813
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1814
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1815
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1816
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1817
same location. (Robert Collins)
1818
1819
INTERNALS:
1820
1821
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1822
1823
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1824
1825
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1826
1827
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1828
(Martin Pool)
1829
1830
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1831
(Martin Pool)
1832
1833
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1834
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1835
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1836
1837
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1838
1839
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1840
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1841
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1842
1843
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1844
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1845
1846
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1847
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1848
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1849
1850
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1851
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1852
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1853
1854
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1855
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1856
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1857
1858
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1859
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1860
Martin Pool)
1861
1862
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1863
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1864
1865
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1866
(Alexander Belchenko)
1867
1868
TESTING:
1869
1870
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1871
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1872
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1873
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1874
1875
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1876
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1877
testing. (Robert Collins)
1878
1879
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1880
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1881
1882
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1883
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1884
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1885
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1886
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1887
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1888
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1889
1890
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1891
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1892
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1893
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1894
1895
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1896
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1897
1898
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1899
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1919
1920
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1921
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1922
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1923
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1924
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1925
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1926
and unlock() like so::
1927
1928
work_tree.lock_read()
1929
try:
1930
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1931
finally:
1932
work_tree.unlock()
1933
1934
INTERNALS:
1935
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1936
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1937
object.
1938
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1939
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1940
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1941
1942
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1943
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1944
too. (Robert Collins)
1945
1946
IMPROVEMENTS:
1947
1948
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1949
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1950
Aaron Bentley)
1951
1952
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1953
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1954
1955
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1956
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1957
1958
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1959
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1960
understanding what changes have occurred
1961
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1962
1963
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1964
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1965
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1966
1967
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1968
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1969
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1970
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1971
1972
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1973
#56322)
1974
1975
BUGFIXES:
1976
1977
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1978
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1979
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1980
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1981
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1982
1983
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1984
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1985
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1986
1987
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1989
1990
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1991
into account.
1992
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1993
1994
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1995
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1996
1997
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1998
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1999
2000
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2001
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2002
2003
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2004
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2005
2006
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2007
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2008
2009
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2010
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2011
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2015
2016
BUGFIXES:
2017
2018
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2019
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2020
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2021
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2022
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2023
2024
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2025
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2026
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2027
2028
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2029
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2030
2031
IMPROVEMENTS:
2032
2033
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2034
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2035
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2036
2037
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2038
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2039
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2040
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

-----------------------
2044
2045
BUGFIXES:
2046
2047
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2048
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2049
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2050
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2051
2052
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2053
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2054
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2055
2056
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2057
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2058

* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2061
2062
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2063
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2066
-----------------------
2067
2068
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2069
2070
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2071
it could be recovered again.
2072
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2073
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2074
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2075
but not delete it.
2076
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2077
files.
2078
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2079
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2080
2081
IMPROVEMENTS:
2082
2083
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2084
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2085
2086
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2087
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2088
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2089
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2090
2091
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2092
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2093
2094
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2095
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2096
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2097
2098
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2099
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2100
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2101
2102
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2103
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2104
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2105
2106
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2107
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2108
Robert Collins)
2109
2110
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2111
Pool)
2112
2113
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2114
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2115
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2116
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2117
2118
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2119
(Robert Collins)
2120
2121
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2122
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2123
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2124
(Robert Collins)
2125
2126
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2127
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2128
2129
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2130
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2131
2132
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2133
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2134
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2135
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2136
(Robert Collins)
2137
2138
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2139
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2140
2141
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2142
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2143
2144
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2145
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2146
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2147
2148
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2149
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2150
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2151
2152
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2153
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2154
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2155
2156
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2157
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2158
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2159
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2160
2161
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2162
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2163
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2164
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2165
2166
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2167
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2168
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2169
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2170
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2171
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2172
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2173
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2174
header(s).
2175
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2176
2177
INTERNALS:
2178
2179
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2180
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2181
2182
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2183
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2184
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2185
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2186
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2187
2188
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2189
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
2191
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2192
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2193
2194
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2195
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2196
2197
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2198
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2199
2200
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2201
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2202
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2203
(Robert Collins).
2204
2205
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2206
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2207
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2208
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2209
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2210
(Robert Collins)
2211
2212
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2213
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2214
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2215
2216
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2217
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2218
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2219
2220
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2221
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2222
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2223
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2224
2225
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2226
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2227
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2228
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2229
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2230
2231
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2232
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2233
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2234
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2235
2236
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2237
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2238
2239
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2240
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2241
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2242
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2243
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2244
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2245
2246
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2247
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2250
help. (Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2253
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2254
2255
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2256
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2257
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2258
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2259
(John Arbash Meinel)
2260
2261
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2262
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2263
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2264
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2265
useful. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2268
(Andrew Bennetts)
2269
2270
BUGFIXES:
2271
2272
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2273
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2274
2275
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2276
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2277
2278
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2279
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2280
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2281
2282
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2283
(Aaron Bentley)
2284
2285
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2286
the file, and does it faster.
2287
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2288
2289
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2290
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2291
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2292
2293
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2294
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2295
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2296
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2297
2298
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2299
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2300
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2301
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2302
2303
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2304
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2305
2306
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2307
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2308
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2309
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2310
Arbash Meinel)
2311
2312
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)

2314
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2315
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2316
2317
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2318
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2319
2320
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2321
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2322
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2323
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2324
security hole.
2325
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2326
2327
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2329
2330
TESTING:
2331
2332
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2333
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2334
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2335
2336
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2337
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2338
2339
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2340
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2341
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2342
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2343
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2344
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2345
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2346
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2347
2348
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2349
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2350
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2351
2352
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2353
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2354
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2355
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2356
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2357
access.
2358
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2359
2360
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2361
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2362
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2363
2364
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2365
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2366

2373
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2374
(Aaron Bentley)
2375
2376
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2377
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

-----------------------
2382
2383
CHANGES:
2384
2385
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2386
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2387
(Martin Pool)
2388
2389
IMPROVEMENTS:
2390
2391
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2392
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2393
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2394
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2395
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2396
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2397
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2398
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2399
path. (vila)
2400
2401
INTERNALS:
2402
2403
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2404
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2405
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2406
2407
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2408
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2409
(Martin Pool)
2410
2411
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2412
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2413
(John Arbash Meinel)
2414
2415
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2416
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2417
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2418
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2419
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2420
2421
BUGFIXES:
2422
2423
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2424
(vila, #92195)
2425
2426
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2427
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2428
2429
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2430
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2431
2432
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2433
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2434
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2435
2436
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2437
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2438
2439
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2440
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2441
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2442
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2443
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2444
2445
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2446
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2447
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2448
2449
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2453
-----------------------
2454
2455
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2456
2457
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2458
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2459
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2460
2461
IMPROVEMENTS:
2462
2463
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2464
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2465
2466
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2467
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2468
2469
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2470
2471
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2472
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2473
2474
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2475
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2476
2477
INTERNALS:
2478
2479
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2480
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2481
2482
BUGFIXES:
2483
2484
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2485
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2486
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2487
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2488
2489
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2490
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2491
2492
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2493
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2494
2495
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2496
(Marien Zwart)
2497
2498
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2499
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2502
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2503
-----------------------
2504
2505
SURPRISES:
2506
2507
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2508
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2509
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2510
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2511
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2512
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2513
2514
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2515
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2516
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2517
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2518
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2519
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2520
development.
2521
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2522
2523
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2524
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2525
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2526
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2527
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2528
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2529
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2530
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2531
2532
IMPROVEMENTS:
2533
2534
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2535
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2536
2537
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2538
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2539
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2540
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2541
does exist.
2542
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2543
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2544
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2545
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2546
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2547
2548
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2549
(Aaron Bentley)
2550
2551
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2552
(Aaron Bentley)
2553
2554
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2555
(Robert Collins)
2556
2557
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2558
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2559
(Aaron Bentley)
2560
2561
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2562
(Aaron Bentley)
2563
2564
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2565
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2566
2567
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2568
directory. (Martin Pool)
2569
2570
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2571
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2572
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2573
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2574
2575
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2576
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2577
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2578
in docs/configuration.txt.
2579
2580
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2581
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2582
bind location.
2583
2584
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2585
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2586
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2587
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2588
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2589
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2590
2591
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2592
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2593
2594
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2595
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2596
2597
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2598
(Aaron Bentley)
2599
2600
INTERNALS:
2601
2602
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2603
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2604
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2605
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2606
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2607
(John Arbash Meinel)
2608
2609
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2610
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2611
(Aaron Bentley)
2612
2613
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2614
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2615
(John Arbash Meinel)
2616
2617
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2618
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2619
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2620
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2621
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2622
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2623
2624
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2625
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2626
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2627
2628
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2629
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2630
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2631
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2632
repository.
2633
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2634
2635
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2636
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2637
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2638
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2639
2640
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2641
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2642
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2643
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2644
2645
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2646
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2647
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2648
2649
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2650
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2651
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2652
2653
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2654
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2655
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2656
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2657
2658
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2659
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2660
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2661
2662
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2663
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2664
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2665
2666
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2667
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2668
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2669
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2670
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2671
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2672
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2673
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2674
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2675
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2676
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2677
2678
BUGFIXES:
2679
2680
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2681
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2682
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2683
2684
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2685
(Aaron Bentley)
2686
2687
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2688
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2689
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2690
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2691
2692
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2693
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2694
#83954).
2695
2696
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2697
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2698
2699
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2700
2701
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2702
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2703
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2704
2705
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2706
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2707
2708
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2710
2711
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2713
2714
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2715
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2716
2717
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2718
2719
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2720
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2721
2722
TESTING:
2723
2724
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2725
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

2731
IMPROVEMENTS:
2732
2733
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2734
2735
BUG FIXES:
2736
2737
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2738
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2739
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2740
2741
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2742
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2743
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2747
-----------------------
2748
2749
IMPROVEMENTS:
2750
2751
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2752
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2753
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2754
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2755
2756
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2757
(Marius Kruger)
2758
2759
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2760
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2761
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2762
2763
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2764
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2765
2766
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2767
(Aaron Bentley)
2768
2769
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2770
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2771
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2772
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2773
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2774
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2775
2776
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2777
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2778
should enable you to do::
2779
2780
[/home/user/project]
2781
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2782
push_location:policy = appendpath
2783
2784
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2785
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2786
(James Henstridge)
2787
2788
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2789
for each file. For example::
2790
2791
$ bzr status --short
2792
A foo
2793
A bar
2794
D baz
2795
? wooley
2796
2797
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2798
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2799
2800
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2801
2802
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2803
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2804
2805
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2806
2807
INTERNALS:
2808
2809
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2810
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2811
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2812
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2813
2814
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2815
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2816
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2817
2818
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2819
2820
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2821
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2822
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2823
(Alexander Belchenko)
2824
2825
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2826
Pool)
2827
2828
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2829
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2830
2831
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2832
2833
BUG FIXES:
2834
2835
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2836
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2837
2838
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2839
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2840
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2841
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2842
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2843
2844
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2845
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2846
2847
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2848
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2849
2850
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2851
matcher.
2852
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2853
2854
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2855
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2856
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2857
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2858
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2859
2860
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2861
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2862
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2863
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2864
2865
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2866
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2867
2868
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2869
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2870
2871
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2872
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2873
2874
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2886
IMPROVEMENTS:
2887
2888
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2889
tree from a branch.
2890
(Daniel Silverstone)
2891
2892
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2893
operations are substantially faster.
2894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2895
2896
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2897
tree from some other url. For example:
2898
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2899
(Daniel Silverstone)
2900
2901
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2902
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2903
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2904
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2905
2906
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2907
(Andrew Bennetts)
2908
2909
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2910
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2911
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2912
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2913
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2914
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2915
2916
INTERNALS:
2917
2918
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2919
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2920
(Martin Pool)
2921
2922
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2923
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2924
(John Arbash Meinel)
2925
2926
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2927
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2928
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2929
(John Arbash Meinel)
2930
2931
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2932
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2933
2934
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2935
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2936
2937
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2938
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2939
Bennetts)
2940
2941
BUG FIXES:
2942
2943
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2944
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2945
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2946
2947
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2948
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2949
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2950
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2951
2952
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2953
2954
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2955
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2956
2957
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2958
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2959
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2960
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2961
2962
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2963
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2964
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2965
2966
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2967
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2968
them as full references rather than integers.
2969
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2970
2971
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2972
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2973
2974
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2975
2976
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2977
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2978
2979
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2980
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2981
2982
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2983
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2984
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2985
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2986
2987
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2988
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2989
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2990
2991
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2992
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2993
2994
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2995
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2996
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2997
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2998
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2999
3000
TESTING:
3001
3002
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3003
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3006
--------------------
3007
3008
INTERNALS:
3009
3010
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3012
(John Arbash Meinel)
3013
3014
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3015
-----------------------
3016
3017
IMPROVEMENTS:
3018
3019
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3020
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3021
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3022
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3023
3024
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3025
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3026
3027
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3028
3029
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3030
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3031
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3032
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3033
3034
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3035
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3036
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3037
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3038
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3039
3040
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3041
3042
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3043
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3044
3045
INTERNALS:
3046
3047
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3048
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3049
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3050
3051
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3052
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3053
(John Arbash Meinel)
3054
3055
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3056
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3057
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3058
3059
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3060
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3061
(Aaron Bentley)
3062
3063
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3064
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3065
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3066
3067
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3068
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3069
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3070
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3071
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3072
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3073
3074
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3075
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3076
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3077
(Robert Collins)
3078
3079
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3080
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3081
3082
BUG FIXES:
3083
3084
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3085
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3086
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3087
#63360, #66349)
3088
3089
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3090
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3091
3092
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3093
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3094
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3095
3096
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3097
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3098
3099
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3100
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3101
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3102
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3103
3104
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3105
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3106
3107
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3108
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3109
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3110
3111
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3112
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3113
3114
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3115
3116
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3117
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3118
#32054)
3119
3120
TESTING:
3121
3122
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3123
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3124
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3125
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3126
3127
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3128
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3129
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3130
3131
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

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

3145
3146
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3147
-----------------------
3148
3149
IMPROVEMENTS:
3150
3151
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3152
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3153
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3154
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3155
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3156
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3157
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3158
3159
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3160
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3161
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3162
3163
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3164
3165
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3166
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3167
3168
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3169
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3170
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3171
(Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3174
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3175
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3176
(John Arbash Meinel)
3177
3178
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3179
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3180
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3181
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3182
Pool)
3183
3184
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3185
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3186
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3187
(John Arbash Meinel)
3188
3189
BUG FIXES:
3190
3191
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3192
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3193
3194
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3195
3196
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3197
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3198
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3199
3200
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3201
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3202
3203
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3204
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3205
3206
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3208
3209
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3210
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3211
3212
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3213
3214
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3215
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3216
3217
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3218
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3219
3220
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3221
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3222
3223
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3224
(John Arbash Meinel)
3225
3226
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3227
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3228
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3229
3230
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3231
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3232
3233
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3234
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3235
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3236
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3237
3238
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3239
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3240
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3241
3242
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3243
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3244
3245
PORTABILITY:
3246
3247
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3248
3249
INTERNALS:
3250
3251
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3252
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3253
(John Arbash Meinel)
3254
3255
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3256
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3257
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3258
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3259
3260
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3261
(Andrew Bennetts)
3262
3263
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3264
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3265
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3266
3267
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3268
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3269
3270
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3271
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3272
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3273
3274
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3275
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3276
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3277
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3278
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3279
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3280
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3281
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3282
caller to repeat their request.
3283
(John Arbash Meinel)
3284
3285
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3286
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3289
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3290
3291
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3292
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3293
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3294
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3295
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3296
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3297
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3298
3299
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3300
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3301
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3302
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3303
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3304
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3305
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3306
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3307
(Robert Collins)
3308
3309
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3310
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3311
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3312
3313
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3314
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3317
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3318
3319
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3320
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3321
3322
TESTING:
3323
3324
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3325
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3326
3327
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3328
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3329
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3330
3331
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3332
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3333
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3334
3335
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3336
--------------------
3337
3338
IMPROVEMENTS:
3339
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3340
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3341
3342
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3343
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3344
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3345
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3346
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3347
3348
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3349
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3350
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3351
3352
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3353
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3354
3355
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3356
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3357
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3358
3359
BUG FIXES:
3360
3361
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3362
3363
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3364
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3365
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3366
3367
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3368
3369
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3370
3371
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3372
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3373
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3374
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3375
3376
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3377
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3378
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3379
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3380
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3381
3382
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3383
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3384
3385
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3386
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3387
3388
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3389
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3390
3391
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3392
in handling of revision properties.
3393
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3394
3395
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3396
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3397
3398
INTERNALS:
3399
3400
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3401
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3402
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3403
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3404
(John Arbash Meinel)
3405
3406
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3407
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3408
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3409
3410
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3411
---------------------
3412
3413
SURPRISES:
3414
3415
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3416
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3417
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3418
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3419
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3420
a more conservative list than the old default.
3421
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3422
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3423
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3424
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3425
3426
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3427
to more locations than just branch locations.
3428
(Aaron Bentley)
3429
3430
IMPROVEMENTS:
3431
3432
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3433
revno:N:branch. For example,
3434
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3435
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3436
3437
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3438
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3439
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3440
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3441
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3442
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3443
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3444
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3445
#42517, #42514)
3446
3447
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3448
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3449
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3450
(Malone #3507)
3451
3452
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3453
(Alexander Belchenko)
3454
3455
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3456
3457
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3458
(Robert Collins).
3459
3460
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3461
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3462
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3463
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3464
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3465
(John Arbash Meinel)
3466
3467
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3468
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3469
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3470
grained analysis of performance.
3471
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3472
3473
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3474
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3475
3476
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3477
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3478
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3479
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3480
file. (Robert Collins).
3481
3482
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3483
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3484
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3485
3486
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3487
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3488
Matthieu Moy)
3489
3490
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3491
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3492
3493
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3494
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3495
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3496
the same way you would apply another branch.
3497
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3498
3499
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3500
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3501
3502
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3503
(Michael Ellerman)
3504
3505
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3506
(Aaron Bentley)
3507
3508
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3509
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3510
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3511
3512
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3513
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3514
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3515
3516
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3517
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3518
3519
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3520
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3521
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3522
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3523
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3524
3525
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3526
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3527
3528
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3529
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3530
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3531
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3532
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3533
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3534
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3535
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3536
3537
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3538
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3539
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3540
3541
BUG FIXES:
3542
3543
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3544
tests not to run.
3545
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3546
3547
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3548
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3549
3550
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3551
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3552
3553
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3554
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3555
3556
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3557
3558
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3559
(John Arbash Meinel)
3560
3561
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3562
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3563
3564
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3565
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3566
and y.
3567
3568
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3569
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3570
3571
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3572
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3573
3574
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3575
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3576
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3577
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3578
3579
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3580
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3581
3582
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3583
3584
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3585
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3586
3587
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3588
3589
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3590
3591
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3592
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3593
3594
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3595
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3596
3597
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3598
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3599
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3600
3601
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3602
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3603
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3604
3605
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3606
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3607
3608
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3609
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3610
3611
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3612
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3613
3614
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3615
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3616
3617
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3618
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3619
3620
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3621
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3622
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3623
3624
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3625
3626
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3627
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3628
3629
INTERNALS:
3630
3631
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3632
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3633
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3634
3635
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3636
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3637
3638
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3639
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3640
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3641
3642
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3643
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3644
3645
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3646
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3647
(Martin Pool)
3648
3649
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3650
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3651
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3652
3653
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3654
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3655
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3656
3657
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3658
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3659
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3660
3661
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3662
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3663
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3664
3665
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3666
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3667
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3668
3669
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3670
instead. (Robert Collins)
3671
3672
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3690
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3691
3692
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3693
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

3710
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3711
3712
NEW FEATURES:
3713
3714
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

3729
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3730
-------------------
3731
3732
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3733
3734
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3735
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3736
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3737
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3738
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3739
will keep the same format.
3740
3741
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3742
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3743
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3744
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3745
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3746
3747
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3748
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3749
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3750
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3751
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3752
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3753
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3754
3755
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3756
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3757
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3758
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3759
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3760
3761
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3762
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3763
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3764
arrangement.
3765
3766
3767
IMPROVEMENTS:
3768
3769
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3770
convention. Paths now take the form::
3771
3772
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3773
or
3774
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3775
3776
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3777
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3778
3779
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3780
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3781
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3782
3783
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3784
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3785
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3786
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3787
3788
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3789
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3790
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3791
3792
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3793
3794
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3795
3796
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3797
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3798
commits::
3799
3800
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3801
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3802
| xargs bzr re-sign
3803
3804
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3805
3806
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3807
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3808
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3809
(Robert Collins)
3810
3811
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3812
3813
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3814
3815
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3816
'.moved'.
3817
3818
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3819
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3820
3821
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3822
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3823
Daniel Silverstone)
3824
3825
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3826
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3827
Martin Pool)
3828
3829
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3830
3831
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3832
3833
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3834
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3835
3836
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3837
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3838
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3839
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3840
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3841
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3842
3843
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3844
3845
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3846
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3847
(Robert Collins)
3848
3849
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3850
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3851
3852
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3853
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3854
3855
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3856
3857
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3858
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3859
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3860
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3861
specification by Martin Pool.
3862
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3863
3864
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3865
Belchenko)
3866
3867
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3868
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3869
3870
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3871
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3872
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3873
3874
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3875
3876
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3877
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3878
(Robert Collins)
3879
3880
CHANGES:
3881
3882
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3883
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3884
3885
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3886
3887
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3888
3889
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3890
(Olaf Conradi)
3891
3892
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3893
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3894
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3895
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3896
3897
INTERNALS:
3898
3899
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3900
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3901
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3902
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3903
3904
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3905
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3906
tried. (Martin Pool)
3907
3908
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3909
(Martin Pool)
3910
3911
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3912
3913
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3914
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3915
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3916
3917
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3918
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3919
3920
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3921
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3922
paths. (Robert Collins)
3923
3924
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3925
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3926
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3927
3928
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3929
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3930
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3931
3932
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3933
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3934
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3935
3936
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3937
(Olaf Conradi)
3938
3939
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3940
(Olaf Conradi)
3941
3942
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3943
3944
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3945
3946
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3947
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3948
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3949
(Robert Collins)
3950
3951
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3952
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3953
3954
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3955
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3956
check. (Robert Collins)
3957
3958
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3959
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
TESTING:
3962
3963
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3964
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3965
3966
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3967
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3968
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3969
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3970
3971
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3972
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3973
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3974
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3975
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3976
3977
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3978
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3979
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3980
3981
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3982
3983
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3984
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3985
3986
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3987
------------------
3988
3989
CHANGES:
3990
3991
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3992
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3993
3994
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3995
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3996
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3997
(Johan Rydberg)
3998
3999
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4000
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4001
4002
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4003
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4004
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4005
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4006
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4007
4008
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4009
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4010
used. (Robert Collins)
4011
4012
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4013
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4014
(James Henstridge)
4015
4016
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4017
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4018
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4019
4020
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4021
ignore list.
4022
4023
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4024
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4025
4026
IMPROVEMENTS:
4027
4028
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4029
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4030
4031
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4032
4033
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4034
4035
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4036
tree. (Robert Collins)
4037
4038
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4039
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4040
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4041
(Robert Collins)
4042
4043
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4044
that they be kept.
4045
4046
* Tweaks to short log printing
4047
4048
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4049
(Aaron Bentley)
4050
4051
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4052
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4053
4054
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4055
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4056
4057
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4058
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4059
4060
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4061
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4062
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4063
4064
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4065
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4066
4067
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4068
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4069
requests.
4070
4071
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4072
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4073
4074
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4075
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4076
4077
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4078
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4079
4080
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4081
(Denys Duchier)
4082
4083
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4084
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4085
4086
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4087
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4088
4089
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4090
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4091
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4092
4093
BUG FIXES:
4094
4095
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4096
4097
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4098
4099
* Error when run with -OO
4100
4101
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4102
(Martin Pool)
4103
4104
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4105
4106
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4107
4108
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4109
ignored by diff and status
4110
4111
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4112
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4113
4114
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4115
4116
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4117
4118
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4119
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4120
4121
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4122
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4123
4124
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4125
(Harald Meland)
4126
4127
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4128
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4129
4130
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4131
4132
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4133
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4134
4135
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4136
(Martin Pool)
4137
4138
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4139
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4140
4141
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4142
4143
TESTING:
4144
4145
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4146
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4147
4148
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4149
4150
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4151
4152
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4153
4154
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4155
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4156
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4157
4158
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4159
4160
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4161
(John Arbash Meinel)
4162
4163
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4164
4165
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4166
If adding a new test script please add that to
4167
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4168
4169
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4170
imported. (Martin Pool)
4171
4172
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4173
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4174
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4175
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4176
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4177
(Robert Collins)
4178
4179
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4180
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4181
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4182
4183
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4184
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4185
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4186
4187
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4188
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4189
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4190
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4191
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4192
(Robert Collins).
4193
4194
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4195
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4196
(Robert Collins).
4197
4198
INTERNALS:
4199
4200
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4201
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4202
4203
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4204
function. (Robert Collins)
4205
4206
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4207
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4208
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4209
4210
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4211
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4212
(Robert Collins)
4213
4214
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4215
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4216
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4217
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4218
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4219
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4220
version. (Robert Collins)
4221
4222
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4223
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4224
4225
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4226
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4227
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4228
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4229
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4230
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4231
4232
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4233
(Robert Collins)
4234
4235
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4236
4237
add()
4238
commit()
4239
move()
4240
rename_one()
4241
unknowns()
4242
4243
(Robert Collins)
4244
4245
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4246
4247
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4248
4249
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4250
Pool)
4251
4252
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4253
query method. (Robert Collins)
4254
4255
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4256
(Denys Duchier)
4257
4258
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4259
(Michael Ellerman)
4260
4261
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4262
(Michael Ellerman)
4263
4264
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4265
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4266
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4267
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4268
4269
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4270
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4271
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4272
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4273
4274
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4275
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4276

4280
IMPROVEMENTS:
4281
4282
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4283
(John A Meinel)
4284
4285
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4286
conflicts.
4287
(Aaron Bentley)
4288
4289
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4290
a separator, not ':'.
4291
(Aaron Bentley)
4292
4293
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4294
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4295
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4296
4297
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4298
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4299
(Robert Collins)
4300
4301
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4302
has been added that suppresses all output.
4303
4304
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4305
Adams.
4306
4307
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4308
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4309
4310
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4311
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4312
4313
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4314
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4315
4316
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4317
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4318
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4319
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4320
4321
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4322
4323
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4324
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4325
4326
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4327
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4328
4329
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4330
output directory, if one was supplied.
4331
4332
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4333
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4334
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4335
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4336
4337
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4338
4339
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4340
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4341
4342
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4343
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4344
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4345
4346
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4347
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4348
4349
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4350
(Aaron Bentley)
4351
4352
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4353
4354
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4355
4356
TESTING:
4357
4358
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4359
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4360
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4361
4362
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4363
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4364
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4365
4366
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4367
is given. (Martin Pool)
4368
4369
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4370
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4371
file. (Robert Collins)
4372
4373
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4374
(Martin Pool)
4375
4376
INTERNALS:
4377
4378
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4379
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4380
representation. (Martin Pool).
4381
4382
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4383
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4384
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4385
4386
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4387
(Robert Collins)
4388
4389
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4390
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4391
Magnus Therning.
4392
4393
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4394
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4395
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4396
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4397
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4398
4399
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4400
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4401
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4402
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4403
python path. (Robert Collins)
4404
4405
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4406
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4407
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4408
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4409
4410
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4411
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4412
4413
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4414
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4415
(Robert Collins)
4416
4417
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4418
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4419
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4420
4421
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4422
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4423
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4424
4425
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4426
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4427
4428
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4429
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4430
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4431
(Robert Collins)
4432
4433
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4434
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4435
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4436
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4437
(Robert Collins)
4438
4439
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4440
(Robert Collins)
4441
4442
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4443
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4444
(Robert Collins)
4445
4446
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4447
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4448
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4449
4450
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4451
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4452
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4455
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4456
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4457
4458
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4459
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4460
4461
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4462
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4463
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4464
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4465
caller. (Robert Collins)
4466
4467
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4468
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4469
(Robert Collins).
4470
4471
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4472
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4473
(Aaron Bentley)
4474
4475
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4476
4477
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4478
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4479
4480
BUG FIXES:
4481
4482
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4483
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4484
4485
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4486
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4487

4489
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4490
--------------------
4491
4492
BUG FIXES:
4493
4494
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4495
allow directories to be listed.
4496
4497
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4498
upgrading branch format.
4499
4500
PERFORMANCE:
4501
4502
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

4505
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4506
------------------
4507
4508
NOTES:
4509
4510
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4511
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4512
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4513
high-latency connections.
4514
4515
BUG FIXES:
4516
4517
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4518
Rob Weir.
4519
4520
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4521
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4522
4523
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4524
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4525
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4526
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4527
4528
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4529
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4530
4531
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4532
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4533
4534
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4535
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4536
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4537
4538
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4539
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4540
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4541
Robert Collins
4542
4543
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4544
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4545
4546
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4547
different partial views of history.
4548
4549
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4550
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4551
4552
IMPROVEMENTS:
4553
4554
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4555
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4556
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4557
4558
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4559
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4560
'bzr upgrade'.
4561
4562
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4563
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4564
4565
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4566
Niemeyer.
4567
4568
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4569
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4570
4571
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4572
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4573
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4574
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4575
4576
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4577
4578
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4579
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4580
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4581
4582
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4583
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4584
4585
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4586
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4587
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4588
4589
4590
INTERNALS:
4591
4592
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4593
for your viewing pleasure.
4594
4595
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4596
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4597
4598
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4599
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4600
handling of such circumstances.
4601
4602
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4603
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4604
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4605
4606
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4607
4608
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4609
we call them revisions not patches.
4610
4611
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4612
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4613
4614
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4615
giving the revision *of that file*.
4616
4617
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4618
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4619
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4620
4621
TESTING:
4622
4623
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4624
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4625
4626
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4627
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4628

4630
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4631
--------------------
4632
4633
BUG FIXES:
4634
4635
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4636
4637
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4638
(Robert Collins).
4639
4640
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4641
4642
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4643
4644
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4645
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4646
4647
IMPROVEMENTS:
4648
4649
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4650
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4651
4652
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4653
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4654
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4655
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4656
Robey Pointer
4657
4658
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4659
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4660
4661
INTERNALS:
4662
4663
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4664
4665
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4666
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4667
4668
4669
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4670
--------------------
4671
4672
IMPROVEMENTS:
4673
4674
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4675
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4676
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4677
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4678
Michael Ellerman.
4679
4680
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4681
(Nir Soffer)
4682
4683
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4684
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4685
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4686
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4687
for the operating system is still tried.
4688
4689
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4690
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4691
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4692
4693
4694
INTERNALS:
4695
4696
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4697
4698
BUG FIXES:
4699
4700
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4701
4702
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4703
branch.
4704
4705
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4706
read.
4707
4708
4709
PORTABILITY:
4710
4711
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4712
4713
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4714
4715
4716
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4717
--------------------
4718
4719
NEW FEATURES:
4720
4721
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4722
help with intelligent shell completion.
4723
4724
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4725
4726
4727
ENHANCEMENTS:
4728
4729
* Much better merge support.
4730
4731
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4732
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4733
like emacs smerge.
4734
4735
4736
BUG FIXES:
4737
4738
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4739
mention revisions that are not present.
4740
4741
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4742
4743
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4744
4745
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4746
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4747
4748
4749
CHANGES:
4750
4751
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4752
4753
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4754
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4755
--help themselves.
4756
4757
4758
LIBRARY:
4759
4760
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4761
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4762
libraries.
4763
4764
4765
4766
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4767
--------------------
4768
4769
NEW FEATURES:
4770
4771
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4772
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4773
4774
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4775
4776
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4777
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4778
4779
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4780
FOO.
4781
4782
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4783
4784
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4785
the Unix command.
4786
4787
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4788
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4789
4790
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4791
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4792
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4793
4794
4795
ENHANCEMENTS:
4796
4797
* Faster working tree operations.
4798
4799
4800
CHANGES:
4801
4802
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4803
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4804
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4805
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4806
4807
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4808
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4809
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4810
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4811
standard plugins directory.
4812
4813
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4814
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4815
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4816
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4817
4818
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4819
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4820
4821
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4822
disk.
4823
4824
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4825
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4826
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4827
4828
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4829
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4830
4831
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4832
line options must come before the command name because they
4833
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4834
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4835
it.
4836
4837
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4838
4839
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4840
is available with ``--short``.
4841
4842
4843
BUG FIXES:
4844
4845
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4846
4847
4848
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4849
---------------------
4850
4851
CHANGES:
4852
4853
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4854
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4855
4856
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4857
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4858
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4859
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4860
4861
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4862
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4863
with the ``--forward`` option.
4864
4865
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4866
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4867
field.
4868
4869
4870
ENHANCEMENTS:
4871
4872
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4873
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4874
4875
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4876
4877
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4878
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4879
4880
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4881
4882
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4883
either read or write mode.
4884
4885
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4886
4887
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4888
affected that file.
4889
4890
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4891
4892
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4893
suggested by LarstiQ.
4894
4895
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4896
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4897
4898
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4899
a filename.
4900
4901
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4902
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4903
4904
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4905
haven't changed since the previous time.
4906
4907
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4908
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4909
4910
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4911
4912
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4913
4914
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4915
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4916
4917
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4918
options through to an external GNU diff.
4919
4920
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4921
their contents.
4922
4923
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4924
from a branch.
4925
4926
4927
BUG FIXES:
4928
4929
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4930
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4931
4932
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4933
metacharacters.
4934
4935
4936
TESTING:
4937
4938
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4939
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4940
the tests.
4941
4942
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4943
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4944
4945
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4946
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4947
4948
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4949
under a different version.
4950
4951
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4952
4953
4954
INTERNAL:
4955
4956
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4957
4958
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4959
Scott James Remnant.
4960
4961
* Better help messages for many commands.
4962
4963
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4964
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4965
4966
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4967
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4968
4969
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4970
4971
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4972
4973
* New AtomicFile class.
4974
4975
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4976
4977
4978
PORTABILITY:
4979
4980
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4981
2.4 is now only recommended.
4982
4983
4984
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4985
---------------------
4986
4987
ENHANCEMENTS:
4988
4989
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4990
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4991
4992
* More default ignore patterns.
4993
4994
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4995
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4996
4997
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4998
4999
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5000
by Jason Diamon.
5001
5002
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5003
5004
5005
CHANGES:
5006
5007
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5008
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5009
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5010
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5011
there are DNS problems.
5012
5013
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5014
5015
5016
BUG FIXES:
5017
5018
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5019
5020
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5021
5022
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5023
trailing newlines properly.
5024
5025
5026
INTERNAL:
5027
5028
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5029
Matt Brubeck.
5030
5031
* More tests in test.sh.
5032
5033
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5034
directory and delete it when done.
5035
5036
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5037
5038
5039
PORTABILITY:
5040
5041
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5042
Bennetts.
5043
5044
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5045
from QuantumG.

5048
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5049
---------------------
5050
5051
ENHANCEMENTS:
5052
5053
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5054
in the tree.
5055
5056
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5057
5058
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5059
and/or directory.
5060
5061
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5062
directory.
5063
5064
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5065
5066
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5067
5068
CHANGES:
5069
5070
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5071
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5072
will do for now.)
5073
5074
PORTABILITY:
5075
5076
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5077
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5078
Nielsen.
5079
5080
INTERNAL:
5081
5082
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5083
5084
TESTING:
5085
5086
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5098
-----------------------------------
5099
5100
ENHANCEMENTS:
5101
5102
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5103
5104
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5105
rather than replacing it.
5106
5107
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5108
5109
* More help topics.
5110
5111
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5112
branch.
5113
5114
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5115
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5116
5117
* Performance improvements.
5118
5119
* New global --profile option.
5120
5121
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5122
the root directory only.
5123
5124
5125
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5126

5127
5128
ENHANCEMENTS:
5129
5130
* More information from info command.
5131
5132
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5133
5134
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5135
committing to stores.
5136
5137
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5138
5139
BUG FIXES:
5140
5141
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5142
5143
PORTABILITY:
5144
5145
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5146
installation easier.
5147
5148
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5149
supported).

5152
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
5153
------------------------
5154
5155
ENHANCEMENTS:
5156
5157
* First public release.
5158
5159
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
5160
diff, status, etc.
Loggerhead is a web-based interface for Breezy
