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
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
16
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
17
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
18
19
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
20
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
21
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
22
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
23
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
24
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
25
(Aaron Bentley)
26
27
FEATURES:
28
29
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
30
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
31
32
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
33
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
34
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
35
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
36
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
37
38
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
39
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
40
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). (Alexander Belchenko)
41
42
IMPROVEMENTS:
43
44
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
45
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
46
47
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
48
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
49
50
BUGFIXES:
51
52
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
53
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
54
55
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
56
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
57
58
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
59
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
60
61
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
62
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
63
64
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
65
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
66
67
API BREAKS:
68
69
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
70
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
71
72
TESTING:
73
74
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
75
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
76
(Vincent Ladeuil)
77
78
INTERNALS:
79
80
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
81
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
82
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
83
84
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
85
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
86
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
87
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
88
89
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
90
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
91
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
92
server. (Robert Collins)
93
94
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
95
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
96
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
97
98
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
99
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
100
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
101
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
102
103
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
104
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
105
106
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
107
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
108
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
109
110
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
111
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
112
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
113
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
114
115
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
116
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
117
118
119
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
120
------------------
121
122
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
123
124
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
125
---------------------
126
127
CHANGES:
128
129
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
130
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
131
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
132
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
133
134
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
135
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
136
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
137
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
138
139
FEATURES:
140
141
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
142
(Lukáš Lalinský)
143
144
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
145
(Aaron Bentley)
146
147
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
148
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
149
150
IMPROVEMENTS:
151
152
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
153
#90049)
154
155
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
156
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
157
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
158
159
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
160
161
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
162
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
163
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
164
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
165
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
166
167
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
168
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
169
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
170
171
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
172
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
173
174
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
175
(Vincent Ladeuil)
176
177
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
178
179
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
180
181
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
182
(Aaron Bentley)
183
184
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
185
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
186
187
BUGFIXES:
188
189
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
190
(Martin Pool, #180208)
191
192
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
194
195
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
196
(Aaron Bentley)
197
198
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
199
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
200
201
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
202
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
203
204
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
205
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
206
207
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
208
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
209
210
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
211
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
212
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
213
214
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
215
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
216
217
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
218
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
219
(Aaron Bentley)
220
221
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
222
223
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
224
user:pass embedded in the urls.
225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
226
227
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
228
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
229
230
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
231
(Aaron Bentley)
232
233
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
234
#148087)
235
236
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
237
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
238
239
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
240
#137681)
241
242
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
243
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
244
(Aaron Bentley)
245
246
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
247
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
249
250
DOCUMENTATION:
251
252
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
253
(Ian Clatworthy)
254
255
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
256
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
257
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
258
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
259
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
260
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
261
262
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
263
264
INTERNALS:
265
266
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
267
(Aaron Bentley)
268
269
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
270
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
271
272
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
273
274
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
275
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
276
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
277
Robert Collins)
278
279
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
280
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
281
282
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
283
(Vincent Ladeuil)
284
285
API BREAKS:
286
287
TESTING:
288
289
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
290
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
291
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
292
293
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
294
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
295
(Robert Collins)
296
297
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
298
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
299
300
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
301
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
302
303
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
304
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
305
306
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
307
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
308
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
309
310
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
311
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
312
313
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
314
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
315
316
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
317
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
318
(Vincent Ladeuil)
319
320
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
321
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
322
323
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
324
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
325
326
327
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
328
------------------
329
330
DOCUMENTATION:
331
332
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
333
334
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
335
(Ian Clatworthy)
336
337
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
338
339
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
340
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
341
(Ian Clatworthy)
342
343
344
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
345
---------------------
346
347
CHANGES:
348
349
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
350
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
351
by mail to the mailing list.
352
(Martin Pool)
353
354
BUGFIXES:
355
356
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
357
358
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
359
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
360
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
361
feedback but also incur more latency.
362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
363
364
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
365
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
366
367
DOCUMENTATION:
368
369
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
370
371
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
372
(Ian Clatworthy)
373
374
INTERNALS:
375
376
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
377
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
378
wraps its output in a StringIO.
379
(Vincent Ladeuil)
380
381
382
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
383
---------------------
384
385
IMPROVEMENTS:
386
387
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
388
389
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
390
(Aaron Bentley)
391
392
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
393
Nordhoff, #172612)
394
395
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
396
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
397
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
398
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
399
400
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
401
(Kent Gibson)
402
403
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
404
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
405
406
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
407
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
408
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
409
410
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
411
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
412
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
413
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
414
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
415
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
416
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
417
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
418
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
419
420
INTERNALS:
421
422
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
423
(Vincent Ladeuil)
424
425
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
426
427
BUGFIXES:
428
429
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
430
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
431
432
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
433
filename to user.
434
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
435
436
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
437
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
438
required.
439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
440
441
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
442
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
443
444
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
445
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
446
447
API BREAKS:
448
449
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
450
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
451
452
453
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
454
---------------------
455
456
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
457
458
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
459
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
460
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
461
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
462
463
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
464
data can be transferred to and from older formats.

To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
467
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
468
469
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
470
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
471
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
472
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
473
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
474
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
475
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
476
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
477
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
478
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
479
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
480
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
484
485
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
486
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
487
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
488
489
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
490
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
491
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
492
(Martin Pool)
493
494
FEATURES:
495
496
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
497
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
498
supported transports.
499
(Vincent Ladeuil)
500
501
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
502
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
503
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
504
505
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
506
(Robert Collins, #154173)
507
508
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
509
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
510
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
511
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
512
513
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
514
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
515
516
PERFORMANCE:
517
518
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
519
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
520
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
521
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
522
523
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
524
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
525
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
526
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
527
528
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
529
(Robert Collins, #88319)
530
531
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
532
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
533
534
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
535
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
536
537
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
538
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
539
(Aaron Bentley)
540
541
IMPROVEMENTS:
542
543
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
544
(Aaron Bentley)
545
546
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
547
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
548
(Lukáš Lalinský)
549
550
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
551
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
552
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
553
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
554
555
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
556
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
557
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
558
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
559

DOCUMENTATION:
561
562
BUG FIXES:
563
564
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
565
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
566
567
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
568
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
569
570
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
571
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
572
573
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
575
576
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
577
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
578
579
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
580
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
581
582
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
583
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
584
585
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
586
(Aaron Bentley)
587
588
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
590
591
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
592
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
593
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
594
595
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
596
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
597
598
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
599
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
600
601
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
602
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
603
604
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
606
607
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
608
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
609
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
610
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
611
on them.
612
(Martin Pool, #164637)
613
614
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
615
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
616
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
617
618
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
619
(Robert Collins, #161240)
620
621
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
622
to be reconciled.
623
(Martin Pool, #164443)
624
625
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
626
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
627
628
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
629
specify a port in urls.
630
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
631
632
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
633
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
634
635
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
636
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
637
638
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
639
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
640
641
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
642
(Robert Collins, #153789)
643
644
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
645
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
646
(Robert Collins, #165304).
647
648
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
649
650
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
651
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
652
653
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
654
Watkins, #152811)
655
656
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
657
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
658
659
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
660
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
661
662
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
663
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
664
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
665
666
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
667
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
668
669
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
670
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
671
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
672
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
673
674
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
675
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
676
677
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
678
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
679
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
680
681
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
682
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
683
684
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
686
687
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
688
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
689
690
API BREAKS:
691
692
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
693
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
694
695
* The return value of
696
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
697
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
698
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
699
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
700
701
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
702
(Robert Collins)
703
704
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
705
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
706
format.
707
(Martin Pool)
708
709
INTERNALS:
710
711
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
712
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
713
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
714
Bennetts)
715
716
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
717
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
718
719
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
736
737
CHANGES:
738
739
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
740
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
741
742
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
743
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
744
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
745
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
746
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
747
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
748
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
749
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
750
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
751
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
752
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
753
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
754
(Robert Collins)
755
756
FEATURES:
757
758
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
759
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
760
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
761
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
762
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
763
for further details. (Robert Collins)
764
765
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
766
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
767
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
768
(Robert Collins)
769
770
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
771
772
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
773
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
774
775
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
776
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
777
(Aaron Bentley)
778
779
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
780
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
781
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
782
783
PERFORMANCE:
784
785
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
786
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
787
788
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
789
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
790
791
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
792
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
793
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
794
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
795
796
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
797
(Robert Collins)
798
799
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
800
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
801
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
802
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
803
804
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
805
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
806
807
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
808
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
809
810
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
811
the contents. (Robert Collins)
812
813
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
814
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
815
816
IMPROVEMENTS:
817
818
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
819
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
820
821
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
822
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
823
824
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
825
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
826
827
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
828
(Martin Pool, #63894)
829
830
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
831
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
832
833
DOCUMENTATION:
834
835
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
836
837
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
838
(Ian Clatworthy)
839
840
BUG FIXES:
841
842
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
843
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
844
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
845
846
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
847
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
848
849
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
850
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
851
852
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
853
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
854
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
855
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
856
857
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
858
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
859
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
860
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
861
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
862
863
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
864
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
865
paramiko.
866
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
867
868
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
869
870
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
871
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
872
873
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
874
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
875
876
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
878
879
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
880
contains a symbolic link.
881
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
882
883
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
884
(James Westby, #140615)
885
886
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
887
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
889
890
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
891
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
892
(Martin Pool, #144633)
893
894
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
895
896
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
898
899
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
900
will remain opened.
901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
902
903
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
904
directory to detect leaking tests.
905
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
906
907
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
908
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
909
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
910
911
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
912
(Rob Weir, #141629)
913
914
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
915
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
916
917
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
918
Merwe)
919
920
API BREAKS:
921
922
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
923
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
924
925
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
926
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
927
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
928
929
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
930
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
931
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
932
933
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
934
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
935
936
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
937
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
938
939
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
940
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
941
(Martin Pool)
942
943
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
944
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
945
946
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
947
class that needs it.
948
(Martin Pool)
949
950
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
951
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
952
953
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
954
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
955
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
956
957
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
958
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
959
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
960
(Robert Collins)
961
962
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
963
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
964
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
965
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
966
(Robert Collins)
967
968
INTERNALS:
969
970
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
971
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
972
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
973
974
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
975
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
976
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
977
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
978
979
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
980
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
981
(Robert Collins)
982
983
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
984
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
985
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
986
987
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
988
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
989
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
990
991
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
992
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
993
994
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
995
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
996
to complete. (Robert Collins)
997
998
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
999
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1000
1001
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1002
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1003
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1004
1005
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1006
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1007
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1008
1009
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1010
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1011
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1012
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1013
1014
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1015
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1016
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1017
returned. (Robert Collins)
1018
1019
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1020
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1021
1022
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1023
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1024
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1025
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1026
(Robert Collins)
1027
1028
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1029
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1030
1031
TESTING:
1032
1033
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1034
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1035
1036
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1037
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1038
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1039
makes this behavior available to other users.
1040
(Martin Pool)
1041
1042
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1043
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

BUG FIXES:
1050
1051
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1052
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1053
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1054
1055
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1056
1057
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1058
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1059
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1060
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1061
1062
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1063
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

1077
CHANGES:
1078
1079
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1080
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1081
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1082
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1083
(Martin Pool)
1084
1085
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1086
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1087
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1088
(Ian Clatworthy)
1089
1090
FEATURES:
1091
1092
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1093
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1094
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1095
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1096
1097
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1098
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1099
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1100
1101
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1102
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1103
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1104
1105
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1106
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1107
1108
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1109
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1110
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1111
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1112
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1113
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1114
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1115
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1116
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1117
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1118
1119
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1120
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1121
1122
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1123
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1124
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1125
1126
BUG FIXES:
1127
1128
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1129
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1130
1131
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1132
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1133
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1134
1135
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1136
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1137
1138
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1139
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1140
1141
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1142
(Aaron Bentley)
1143
1144
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1145
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1146
1147
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1148
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1149
1150
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1151
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1152
1153
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1154
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1155
1156
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1157
1158
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1159
Watkins, #106726)
1160
1161
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1162
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1163
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1164
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1165
1166
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1167
1168
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1169
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1170
#133548)
1171
1172
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1173
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1174
1175
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1176
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1177
#116143)
1178
1179
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1180
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1181
1182
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1183
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1184
1185
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1186
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1187
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1188
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1189
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1190
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1191
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1192
1193
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1194
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1195
1196
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1197
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1198
1199
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1200
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1201
1202
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1204
1205
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1206
connections.
1207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1208
1209
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1210
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1211
1212
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1213
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1214
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1215
1216
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1217
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1218
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1219
1220
IMPROVEMENTS:
1221
1222
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1223
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1224
1225
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1226
(Aaron Bentley)
1227
1228
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1229
(Aaron Bentley)
1230
1231
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1232
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1233
1234
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1235
1236
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1237
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1238
1239
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1240
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1241
1242
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1243
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1244
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1245
space). (Robert Collins)
1246
1247
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1248
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1249
(Ian Clatworthy)
1250
1251
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1252
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1253
1254
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1255
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1256
1257
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1258
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1259
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1260
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1261
1262
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1263
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1264
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1265
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1266
1267
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1268
(Ian Clatworthy)
1269
1270
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1271
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1272
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1273
1274
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1275
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1276
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1277
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1278
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1279
1280
API BREAKS:
1281
1282
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1283
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1284
1285
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1286
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1287
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1288
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1289
affected. (Robert Collins)
1290
1291
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1292
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1293
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1294
(Robert Collins)
1295
1296
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1297
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1298
1299
TESTING:
1300
1301
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1302
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1303
1304
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1305
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1306
1307
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1308
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1309
1310
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1311
(Aaron Bentley)
1312
1313
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1314
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1315
1316
INTERNALS:
1317
1318
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1319
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1320
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1321
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1322
1323
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1324
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1325
1326
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1327
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1328
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1329
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1330
1331
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1332
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1333
present. (Robert Collins)
1334
1335
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1336
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1337
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1338
API. (Robert Collins)
1339
1340
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1341
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1342
(Robert Collins)
1343
1344
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1345
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1346
1347
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1348
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1349
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1350
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1351
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1352
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1353
1354
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1355
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1356
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1357
1358
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1359
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1360
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1361
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1362
protocol.
1363
1364
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1365
(Aaron Bentley)
1366
1367
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1368
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1369
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1370
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1371
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1372
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1373
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1374
1375
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1376
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1377
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1378
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1379
1380
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1381
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1382
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1383
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1384
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1385
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1386
1387
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1388
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1389
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1390
1391
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1392
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1397
1398
IMPROVEMENTS:
1399
1400
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1401
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1402
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1403
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1404
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1405
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1406
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1412
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1413
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1414
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1415
1416
1417
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1418
----------------------
1419
1420
BUGFIXES:
1421
1422
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1423
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1424
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1425
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1426
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1427
1428
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1430
1431
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1432
anymore.
1433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1434
1435
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1436
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1437
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1438
1439
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1440
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1441
#111664)
1442
1443
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1444
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1445
1446
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1447
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1448
1449
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1450
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1451
1452
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1453
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1454
1455
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1456
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1457
1458
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1459
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1460
1461
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1462
(Aaron Bentley)
1463
1464
IMPROVEMENTS:
1465
1466
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1467
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1468
1469
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1470
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1471
1472
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1473
the repository (Robert Collins)
1474
1475
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1476
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1477
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1478
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1479
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1480
1481
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1482
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1483
1484
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1485
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1486
(John Arbash Meinel)
1487
1488
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1489
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1490
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1491
about 10%).
1492
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1493
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1494
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1495
(John Arbash Meinel)
1496
1497
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1498
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1499
(Robert Collins)
1500
1501
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1502
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1503
1504
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1505
(Ian Clatworthy)
1506
1507
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1508
1509
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1510
1511
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1512
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1513
1514
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1515
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1516
Meinel)
1517
1518
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1519
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1520
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1521
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1522
1523
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1524
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1525
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1526
1527
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1528
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1529
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1530
1531
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1532
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1533
1534
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1535
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1536
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1537
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1538
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1539
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1540
(Ian Clatworthy)
1541
1542
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1543
(Alexander Belchenko)
1544
1545
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1546
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1547
1548
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1549
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1550
1551
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1552
1553
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1554
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1555
1556
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1557
1558
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1559
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1560
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1561
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1562
1563
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1564
1565
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1566
(Robert Collins)
1567
1568
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1569
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1570
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1571
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1572
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1573
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1574
1575
INTERNALS:
1576
1577
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1578
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1579
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1580
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1581
1582
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1583
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1584
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1585
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1586
tests have been refactored too.
1587
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1588
1589
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1590
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1591
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1592
list, it will.
1593
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1594
1595
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1596
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1597
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1598
1599
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1600
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1601
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1602
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1603
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1604
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1605
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1608
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1609
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1610
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1611
(John Arbash Meinel)
1612
1613
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1614
functionality for testing.
1615
1616
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1617
1618
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1619
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1620
1621
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1622
1623
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1624
(Robert Collins)
1625
1626
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1627
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1628
1629
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1630
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1631
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1632
1633
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1634
(Aaron Bentley)
1635
1636
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1637
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1638
1639
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1640
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1641
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1642
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1643
1644
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1645
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1646
1647
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1648
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1649
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1650
1651
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1652
(Marius Kruger)
1653
1654
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1655
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1656
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1657
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1658
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1659
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1660
1661
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1662
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1663
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1664
many files. (Robert Collins)
1665
1666
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1667
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1668
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1669
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1670
1671
TESTING:
1672
1673
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1674
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1675
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1676
1677
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1678
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1679
1680
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1681
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1682
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18 2007-07-17
1686
--------------------
1687
1688
BUGFIXES:
1689
1690
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1691
1692
1693
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1694
-----------------------
1695
1696
BUGFIXES:
1697
1698
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1699
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1700
1701
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1702
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1703
(James Westby, #122656)
1704
1705
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1706
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1707
1708
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1709
authentication header.
1710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1711
1712
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1713
1714
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1715
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1716
1717
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1718
1719
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1720
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1721
1722
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1723
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1724
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1725
1726
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1727
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1728
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1729
1730
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1731
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1732
1733
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1735
1736
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1737
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1738
1739
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1740
1741
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1742
1743
IMPROVEMENTS:
1744
1745
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1746
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1747
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1748
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1749
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1750
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1751
1752
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1753
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1754
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1755
1756
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1757
(Elliot Murphy)
1758
1759
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1760
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1761
1762
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1763
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1764
1765
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1766
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1767
1768
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1769
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1770
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1771
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1772
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1773
1774
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1775
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1776
1777
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1778
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1779
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1780
1781
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1782
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1783
1784
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1785
1786
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1787
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1788
1789
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1790
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1791
(Robert Collins)
1792
1793
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1794
(Martin Pool)
1795
1796
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1797
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1798
1799
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1800
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1801
1802
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1803
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1804
1805
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1806
1807
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1808
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1809
1810
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1811
(Andrew Bennetts)
1812
1813
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1814
1815
* Testing cleanups -
1816
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1817
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1818
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1819
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1820
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1821
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1822
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1823
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1824
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1825
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1826
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1827
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1828
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1829
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1830
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1831
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1832
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1833
(Robert Collins)
1834
1835
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1836
1837
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1838
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1839
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1840
1841
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1842
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1843
1844
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1845
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1846
1847
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1848
1849
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1850
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1851
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1852
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1853
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1854
same location. (Robert Collins)
1855
1856
INTERNALS:
1857
1858
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1859
1860
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1861
1862
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1863
1864
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1865
(Martin Pool)
1866
1867
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1868
(Martin Pool)
1869
1870
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1871
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1872
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1873
1874
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1875
1876
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1877
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1878
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1879
1880
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1881
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1882
1883
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1884
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1885
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1886
1887
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1888
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1889
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1890
1891
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1892
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1893
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1894
1895
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1896
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1897
Martin Pool)
1898
1899
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1900
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1901
1902
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1903
(Alexander Belchenko)
1904
1905
TESTING:
1906
1907
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1908
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1909
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1910
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1911
1912
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1913
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1914
testing. (Robert Collins)
1915
1916
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1917
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1918
1919
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1920
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1921
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1922
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1923
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1924
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1925
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1926
1927
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1928
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1929
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1930
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1931
1932
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1933
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1936
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1956
1957
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1958
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1959
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1960
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1961
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1962
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1963
and unlock() like so::
1964
1965
work_tree.lock_read()
1966
try:
1967
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1968
finally:
1969
work_tree.unlock()
1970
1971
INTERNALS:
1972
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1973
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1974
object.
1975
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1976
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1977
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1978
1979
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1980
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1981
too. (Robert Collins)
1982
1983
IMPROVEMENTS:
1984
1985
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1986
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1987
Aaron Bentley)
1988
1989
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1990
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1991
1992
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1993
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1994
1995
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1996
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1997
understanding what changes have occurred
1998
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1999
2000
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2001
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2002
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2003
2004
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2005
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2006
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2007
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2008
2009
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2010
#56322)
2011
2012
BUGFIXES:
2013
2014
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2015
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2016
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2017
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2018
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2019
2020
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2021
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2022
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2023
2024
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.

2028

2029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2030
2031
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2032
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2033
2034
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2035
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2036
2037
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2038
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2039
2040
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2041
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2042
2043
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2044
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2045
2046
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2047
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2048
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

--------------------
2052
2053
BUGFIXES:
2054
2055
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2056
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2057
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2058
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2059
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2060
2061
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2062
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2063
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2064
2065
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2066
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2067
2068
IMPROVEMENTS:
2069
2070
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2071
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2072
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2073
2074
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2075
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2076
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2077
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
2083
2084
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2085
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2086
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2087
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2088
2089
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2090
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2091
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2092
2093
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2094
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2098
2099
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

2103
-----------------------
2104
2105
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2106
2107
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2108
it could be recovered again.
2109
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2110
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2111
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2112
but not delete it.
2113
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2114
files.
2115
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2116
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2117
2118
IMPROVEMENTS:
2119
2120
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2121
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2122
2123
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2124
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2125
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2126
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2127
2128
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2129
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2130
2131
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2132
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2133
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2134
2135
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2136
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2137
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2138
2139
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2140
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2141
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2142
2143
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2144
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2145
Robert Collins)
2146
2147
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2148
Pool)
2149
2150
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2151
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2152
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2153
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2154
2155
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2156
(Robert Collins)
2157
2158
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2159
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2160
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2161
(Robert Collins)
2162
2163
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2164
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2165
2166
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2167
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2168
2169
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2170
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2171
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2172
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2173
(Robert Collins)
2174
2175
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2176
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2177
2178
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2179
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2180
2181
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2182
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2183
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2184
2185
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2186
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2187
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2188
2189
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2190
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2191
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2194
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2195
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2196
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2197
2198
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2199
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2200
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2201
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2202
2203
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2204
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2205
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2206
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2207
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2208
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2209
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2210
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2211
header(s).
2212
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2213
2214
INTERNALS:
2215
2216
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2217
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2218
2219
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2220
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2221
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2222
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2223
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2224
2225
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2226
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2227
2228
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2229
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2230
2231
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2232
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2233
2234
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2235
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2236
2237
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2238
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2239
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2240
(Robert Collins).
2241
2242
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2243
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2244
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2245
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2246
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2247
(Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2250
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2251
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2252
2253
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2254
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2255
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2256
2257
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2258
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2259
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2260
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2261
2262
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2263
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2264
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2265
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2266
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2267
2268
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2269
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2270
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2271
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2274
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2275
2276
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2277
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2278
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2279
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2280
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2281
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2282
2283
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2284
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2285
2286
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2287
help. (Robert Collins)
2288
2289
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2290
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2291
2292
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2293
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2294
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2295
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2296
(John Arbash Meinel)
2297
2298
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2299
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2300
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2301
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2302
useful. (Robert Collins)
2303
2304
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2305
(Andrew Bennetts)
2306
2307
BUGFIXES:
2308
2309
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.

2312
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.

2315
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2316
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2317
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2318
2319
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2320
(Aaron Bentley)
2321
2322
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2323
the file, and does it faster.
2324
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2325
2326
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2327
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2328
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2329
2330
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2331
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2332
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2333
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2334
2335
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2336
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2337
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2338
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2339
2340
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2341
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2342
2343
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2344
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2345
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2346
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2347
Arbash Meinel)
2348
2349
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2350
2351
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2352
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2353
2354
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2355
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2356
2357
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2358
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2359
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2360
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2361
security hole.
2362
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2363
2364
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2365
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2366
2367
TESTING:
2368
2369
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2370
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2371
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2372
2373
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2374
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2375
2376
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2377
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2378
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2379
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2380
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2381
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2382
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2383
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2384
2385
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2386
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2387
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2388
2389
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2390
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2391
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2392
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2393
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2394
access.
2395
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2396
2397
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2398
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2399
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2400
2401
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2402
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
2421
2422
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2423
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2424
(Martin Pool)
2425
2426
IMPROVEMENTS:
2427
2428
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2429
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2430
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2431
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2432
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2433
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2434
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2435
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2436
path. (vila)
2437
2438
INTERNALS:
2439
2440
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2441
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2442
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2443
2444
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2445
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2446
(Martin Pool)
2447
2448
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2449
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2450
(John Arbash Meinel)
2451
2452
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2453
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2454
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2455
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2456
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2457
2458
BUGFIXES:
2459
2460
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2461
(vila, #92195)
2462
2463
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2464
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2465
2466
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2467
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2468
2469
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2470
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2471
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2472
2473
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2474
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2475
2476
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2477
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2478
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2479
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2480
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2481
2482
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2483
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2484
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2485
2486
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2490
-----------------------
2491
2492
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2493
2494
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2495
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2496
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2497
2498
IMPROVEMENTS:
2499
2500
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2501
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2502
2503
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2504
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2505
2506
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2507
2508
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2509
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2510
2511
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2512
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2513
2514
INTERNALS:
2515
2516
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2517
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2518
2519
BUGFIXES:
2520
2521
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2522
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2523
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2524
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2525
2526
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2527
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2528
2529
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2530
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2531
2532
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2533
(Marien Zwart)
2534
2535
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

2539
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2540
-----------------------
2541
2542
SURPRISES:
2543
2544
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2545
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2546
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2547
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2548
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2549
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2550
2551
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2552
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2553
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2554
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2555
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2556
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2557
development.
2558
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2559
2560
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2561
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2562
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2563
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2564
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2565
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2566
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2567
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2568
2569
IMPROVEMENTS:
2570
2571
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2572
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2573
2574
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2575
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2576
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2577
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2578
does exist.
2579
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2580
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2581
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2582
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2583
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2584
2585
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2586
(Aaron Bentley)
2587
2588
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2589
(Aaron Bentley)
2590
2591
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2592
(Robert Collins)
2593
2594
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2595
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2596
(Aaron Bentley)
2597
2598
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2599
(Aaron Bentley)
2600
2601
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2602
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2603
2604
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2605
directory. (Martin Pool)
2606
2607
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2608
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2609
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2610
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2611
2612
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2613
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2614
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2615
in docs/configuration.txt.
2616
2617
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2618
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2619
bind location.
2620
2621
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2622
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2623
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2624
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2625
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2626
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2627
2628
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2629
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2630
2631
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2632
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2633
2634
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2635
(Aaron Bentley)
2636
2637
INTERNALS:
2638
2639
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2640
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2641
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2642
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2643
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2644
(John Arbash Meinel)
2645
2646
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2647
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2648
(Aaron Bentley)
2649
2650
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2651
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2652
(John Arbash Meinel)
2653
2654
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2655
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2656
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2657
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2658
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2659
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2660
2661
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2662
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2663
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2664
2665
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2666
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2667
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2668
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2669
repository.
2670
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2671
2672
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2673
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2674
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2675
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2678
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2679
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2680
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2681
2682
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2683
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2684
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2685
2686
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2687
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2688
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2689
2690
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2691
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2692
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2693
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2694
2695
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2696
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2697
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2698
2699
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2700
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2701
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2702
2703
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2704
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2705
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2706
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2707
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2708
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2709
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2710
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2711
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2712
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2713
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2714
2715
BUGFIXES:
2716
2717
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2718
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2719
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2720
2721
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2722
(Aaron Bentley)
2723
2724
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2725
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2726
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2727
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2728
2729
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2730
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2731
#83954).
2732
2733
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2734
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2735
2736
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2737
2738
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2739
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2740
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2741
2742
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2743
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2744
2745
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2747
2748
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2750
2751
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2752
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2753
2754
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2755
2756
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2757
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2758
2759
TESTING:
2760
2761
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2762
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2763

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
2766
--------------------
2767
2768
IMPROVEMENTS:
2769
2770
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2771
2772
BUG FIXES:
2773
2774
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2775
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2776
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2777
2778
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2779
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2780
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2781
2782
2783
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2784
-----------------------
2785
2786
IMPROVEMENTS:
2787
2788
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2789
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2790
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2791
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2792
2793
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2794
(Marius Kruger)
2795
2796
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2797
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2798
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2799
2800
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2801
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2802
2803
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2804
(Aaron Bentley)
2805
2806
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2807
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2808
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2809
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2810
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2811
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2812
2813
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2814
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2815
should enable you to do::
2816
2817
[/home/user/project]
2818
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2819
push_location:policy = appendpath
2820
2821
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2822
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2823
(James Henstridge)
2824
2825
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2826
for each file. For example::
2827
2828
$ bzr status --short
2829
A foo
2830
A bar
2831
D baz
2832
? wooley
2833
2834
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2835
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2836
2837
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2838
2839
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2840
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2841
2842
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2843
2844
INTERNALS:
2845
2846
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2847
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2848
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2849
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2850
2851
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2852
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2853
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2854
2855
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2856
2857
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2858
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2859
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2860
(Alexander Belchenko)
2861
2862
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2863
Pool)
2864
2865
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2866
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2867
2868
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2869
2870
BUG FIXES:
2871
2872
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2873
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2874
2875
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2876
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2877
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2878
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2879
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2880
2881
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2882
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2883
2884
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2885
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2886
2887
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2888
matcher.
2889
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2890
2891
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2892
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2893
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2894
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2895
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2896
2897
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2898
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2899
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2900
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2901
2902
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2903
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2904
2905
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2906
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2907
2908
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2909
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2910
2911
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2921
-----------------------
2922
2923
IMPROVEMENTS:
2924
2925
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2926
tree from a branch.
2927
(Daniel Silverstone)
2928
2929
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2930
operations are substantially faster.
2931
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2932
2933
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2934
tree from some other url. For example:
2935
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2936
(Daniel Silverstone)
2937
2938
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2939
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2940
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2941
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2942
2943
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2944
(Andrew Bennetts)
2945
2946
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2947
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2948
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2949
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2950
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2951
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2952
2953
INTERNALS:
2954
2955
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2956
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2957
(Martin Pool)
2958
2959
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2960
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2961
(John Arbash Meinel)
2962
2963
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2964
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2965
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2966
(John Arbash Meinel)
2967
2968
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2969
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2970
2971
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2972
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2973
2974
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2975
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2976
Bennetts)
2977
2978
BUG FIXES:
2979
2980
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2981
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2982
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2983
2984
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2985
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2986
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2987
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2988
2989
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2990
2991
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2992
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2993
2994
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2995
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2996
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2997
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2998
2999
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3000
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3001
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3002
3003
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3004
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3005
them as full references rather than integers.
3006
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3007
3008
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3009
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3010
3011
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3012
3013
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3014
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3015
3016
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3017
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3018
3019
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3020
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3021
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3022
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3023
3024
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3025
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3026
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3027
3028
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3029
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3030
3031
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3032
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3033
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3034
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3035
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3036
3037
TESTING:
3038
3039
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3040
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3041

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3043
--------------------
3044
3045
INTERNALS:
3046
3047
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3048
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3049
(John Arbash Meinel)
3050
3051
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3052
-----------------------
3053
3054
IMPROVEMENTS:
3055
3056
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3057
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3058
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3059
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3060
3061
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3062
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3063
3064
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3065
3066
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3067
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3068
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3069
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3070
3071
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3072
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3073
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3074
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3075
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3076
3077
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3078
3079
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3080
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3081
3082
INTERNALS:
3083
3084
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3085
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3086
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3087
3088
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3089
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3090
(John Arbash Meinel)
3091
3092
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3093
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3094
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3095
3096
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3097
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3098
(Aaron Bentley)
3099
3100
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3101
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3102
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3103
3104
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3105
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3106
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3107
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3108
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3109
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3110
3111
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3112
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3113
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3114
(Robert Collins)
3115
3116
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3117
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3118
3119
BUG FIXES:
3120
3121
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3122
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3123
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3124
#63360, #66349)
3125
3126
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3127
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3128
3129
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3130
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3131
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3132
3133
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3134
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3135
3136
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3137
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3138
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3139
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3140
3141
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3142
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3143
3144
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3145
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3146
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3147
3148
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3149
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3150
3151
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3152
3153
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3154
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3155
#32054)
3156
3157
TESTING:
3158
3159
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3160
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3161
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3162
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3163
3164
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3165
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3166
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3167
3168
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

3175
3176
BUG FIXES:
3177
3178
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3179
3180
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3181
Arbash Meinel).
3182
3183
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3184
-----------------------
3185
3186
IMPROVEMENTS:
3187
3188
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3189
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3190
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3191
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3192
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3193
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3194
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3195
3196
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3197
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3198
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3199
3200
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3203
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3204
3205
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3206
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3207
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3208
(Robert Collins)
3209
3210
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3211
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3212
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3213
(John Arbash Meinel)
3214
3215
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3216
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3217
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3218
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3219
Pool)
3220
3221
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3222
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3223
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3224
(John Arbash Meinel)
3225
3226
BUG FIXES:
3227
3228
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3229
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3230
3231
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3232
3233
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3234
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3235
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3236
3237
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3238
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3239
3240
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3241
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3242
3243
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3245
3246
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3247
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3248
3249
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3250
3251
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3252
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3253
3254
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3255
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3256
3257
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3258
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3259
3260
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3261
(John Arbash Meinel)
3262
3263
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3264
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3265
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3266
3267
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3268
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3269
3270
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3271
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3272
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3273
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3274
3275
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3276
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3277
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3278
3279
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3280
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3281
3282
PORTABILITY:
3283
3284
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3285
3286
INTERNALS:
3287
3288
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3289
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3290
(John Arbash Meinel)
3291
3292
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3293
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3294
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3295
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3296
3297
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3298
(Andrew Bennetts)
3299
3300
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3301
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3302
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3303
3304
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3305
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3306
3307
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3308
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3309
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3310
3311
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3312
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3313
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3314
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3315
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3316
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3317
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3318
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3319
caller to repeat their request.
3320
(John Arbash Meinel)
3321
3322
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3323
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3324
3325
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3326
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3327
3328
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3329
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3330
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3331
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3332
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3333
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3334
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3335
3336
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3337
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3338
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3339
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3340
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3341
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3342
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3343
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3344
(Robert Collins)
3345
3346
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3347
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3348
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3349
3350
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3351
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3352
3353
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3354
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3355
3356
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3357
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3358
3359
TESTING:
3360
3361
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3362
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3363
3364
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3365
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3366
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3367
3368
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3369
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3370
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3371
3372
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3373
--------------------
3374
3375
IMPROVEMENTS:
3376
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3377
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3378
3379
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3380
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3381
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3382
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3383
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3384
3385
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3386
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3387
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3388
3389
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3390
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3391
3392
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3393
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3394
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3395
3396
BUG FIXES:
3397
3398
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3399
3400
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3401
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3402
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3403
3404
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3405
3406
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3407
3408
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3409
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3410
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3411
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3412
3413
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3414
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3415
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3416
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3417
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3418
3419
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3420
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3421
3422
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3423
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3424
3425
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3426
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3427
3428
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3429
in handling of revision properties.
3430
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3431
3432
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3433
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3434
3435
INTERNALS:
3436
3437
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3438
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3439
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3440
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3441
(John Arbash Meinel)
3442
3443
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3444
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3445
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3446
3447
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3448
---------------------
3449
3450
SURPRISES:
3451
3452
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3453
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3454
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3455
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3456
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3457
a more conservative list than the old default.
3458
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3459
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3460
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3461
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3462
3463
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3464
to more locations than just branch locations.
3465
(Aaron Bentley)
3466
3467
IMPROVEMENTS:
3468
3469
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3470
revno:N:branch. For example,
3471
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3472
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3473
3474
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3475
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3476
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3477
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3478
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3479
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3480
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3481
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3482
#42517, #42514)
3483
3484
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3485
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3486
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3487
(Malone #3507)
3488
3489
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3490
(Alexander Belchenko)
3491
3492
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3493
3494
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3495
(Robert Collins).
3496
3497
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3498
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3499
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3500
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3501
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3502
(John Arbash Meinel)
3503
3504
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3505
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3506
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3507
grained analysis of performance.
3508
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3509
3510
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3511
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3512
3513
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3514
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3515
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3516
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3517
file. (Robert Collins).
3518
3519
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3520
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3521
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3522
3523
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3524
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3525
Matthieu Moy)
3526
3527
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3528
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3529
3530
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3531
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3532
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3533
the same way you would apply another branch.
3534
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3535
3536
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3537
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3538
3539
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3540
(Michael Ellerman)
3541
3542
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3543
(Aaron Bentley)
3544
3545
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3546
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3547
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3548
3549
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3550
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3551
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3552
3553
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3554
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3555
3556
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3557
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3558
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3559
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3560
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3561
3562
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3563
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3564
3565
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3566
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3567
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3568
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3569
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3570
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3571
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3572
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3573
3574
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3575
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3576
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3577
3578
BUG FIXES:
3579
3580
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3581
tests not to run.
3582
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3583
3584
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3585
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3586
3587
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3588
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3589
3590
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3591
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3592
3593
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3594
3595
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3596
(John Arbash Meinel)
3597
3598
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3599
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3600
3601
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3602
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3603
and y.
3604
3605
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3606
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3607
3608
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3609
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3610
3611
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3612
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3613
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3614
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3615
3616
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3617
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3618
3619
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3620
3621
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3622
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3623
3624
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3625
3626
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3627
3628
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3629
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3630
3631
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3632
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3633
3634
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3635
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3636
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3637
3638
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3639
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3640
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3641
3642
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3643
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3644
3645
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3646
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3647
3648
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3649
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3650
3651
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3652
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3653
3654
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3655
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3656
3657
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3658
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3659
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3660
3661
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3662
3663
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3664
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3665
3666
INTERNALS:
3667
3668
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3669
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3670
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3671
3672
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3673
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3674
3675
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3676
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3677
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3678
3679
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3680
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3681
3682
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3683
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3684
(Martin Pool)
3685
3686
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3687
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3688
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3689
3690
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3691
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3692
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3693
3694
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3695
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3696
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3697
3698
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3699
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3700
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3701
3702
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3703
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3704
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3705
3706
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3707
instead. (Robert Collins)
3708
3709
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3727
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3728
3729
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3730
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
3743
3744
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3745

3747
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3748
3749
NEW FEATURES:
3750
3751
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

3766
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3767
-------------------
3768
3769
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3770
3771
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3772
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3773
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3774
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3775
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3776
will keep the same format.
3777
3778
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3779
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3780
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3781
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3782
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3783
3784
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3785
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3786
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3787
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3788
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3789
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3790
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3791
3792
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3793
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3794
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3795
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3796
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3797
3798
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3799
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3800
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3801
arrangement.
3802
3803
3804
IMPROVEMENTS:
3805
3806
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3807
convention. Paths now take the form::
3808
3809
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3810
or
3811
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3812
3813
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3814
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3815
3816
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3817
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3818
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3819
3820
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3821
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3822
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3823
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3824
3825
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3826
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3827
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3828
3829
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3830
3831
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3832
3833
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3834
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3835
commits::
3836
3837
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3838
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3839
| xargs bzr re-sign
3840
3841
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3842
3843
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3844
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3845
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3846
(Robert Collins)
3847
3848
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3849
3850
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3851
3852
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3853
'.moved'.
3854
3855
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3856
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3857
3858
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3859
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3860
Daniel Silverstone)
3861
3862
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3863
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3864
Martin Pool)
3865
3866
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3867
3868
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3869
3870
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3871
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3872
3873
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3874
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3875
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3876
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3877
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3878
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3879
3880
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3881
3882
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3883
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3884
(Robert Collins)
3885
3886
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3887
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3888
3889
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3890
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3891
3892
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3893
3894
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3895
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3896
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3897
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3898
specification by Martin Pool.
3899
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3900
3901
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3902
Belchenko)
3903
3904
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3905
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3906
3907
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3908
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3909
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3910
3911
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3912
3913
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3914
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3915
(Robert Collins)
3916
3917
CHANGES:
3918
3919
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3920
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3921
3922
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3923
3924
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3925
3926
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3927
(Olaf Conradi)
3928
3929
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3930
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3931
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3932
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3933
3934
INTERNALS:
3935
3936
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3937
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3938
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3939
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3940
3941
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3942
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3943
tried. (Martin Pool)
3944
3945
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3946
(Martin Pool)
3947
3948
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3949
3950
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3951
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3952
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3953
3954
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3955
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3956
3957
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3958
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3959
paths. (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3962
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3963
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3964
3965
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3966
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3967
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3968
3969
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3970
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3971
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3972
3973
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3974
(Olaf Conradi)
3975
3976
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3977
(Olaf Conradi)
3978
3979
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3980
3981
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3982
3983
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3984
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3985
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3986
(Robert Collins)
3987
3988
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3989
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3990
3991
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3992
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3993
check. (Robert Collins)
3994
3995
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3996
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3997
3998
TESTING:
3999
4000
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4001
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4002
4003
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4004
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4005
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4006
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4007
4008
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4009
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4010
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4011
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4012
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4013
4014
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4015
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4016
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4017
4018
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4019
4020
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4021
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4022
4023
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4024
------------------
4025
4026
CHANGES:
4027
4028
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4029
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4030
4031
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4032
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4033
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4034
(Johan Rydberg)
4035
4036
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4037
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4038
4039
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4040
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4041
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4042
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4043
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4044
4045
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4046
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4047
used. (Robert Collins)
4048
4049
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4050
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4051
(James Henstridge)
4052
4053
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4054
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4055
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4056
4057
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4058
ignore list.
4059
4060
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4061
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4062
4063
IMPROVEMENTS:
4064
4065
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4066
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4067
4068
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4069
4070
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4071
4072
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4073
tree. (Robert Collins)
4074
4075
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4076
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4077
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4078
(Robert Collins)
4079
4080
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4081
that they be kept.
4082
4083
* Tweaks to short log printing
4084
4085
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4086
(Aaron Bentley)
4087
4088
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4089
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4090
4091
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4092
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4093
4094
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4095
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4096
4097
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4098
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4099
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4100
4101
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4102
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4103
4104
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4105
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4106
requests.
4107
4108
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4109
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4110
4111
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4112
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4113
4114
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4115
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4116
4117
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4118
(Denys Duchier)
4119
4120
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4121
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4122
4123
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4124
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4125
4126
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4127
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4128
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4129

BUG FIXES:
4131
4132
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4133
4134
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4135
4136
* Error when run with -OO
4137
4138
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4139
(Martin Pool)
4140
4141
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4142
4143
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4144
4145
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4146
ignored by diff and status
4147
4148
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4149
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4150
4151
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4152
4153
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4154
4155
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4156
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4157
4158
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4159
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4160
4161
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4162
(Harald Meland)
4163
4164
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4165
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4166
4167
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4168
4169
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4170
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4171
4172
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4173
(Martin Pool)
4174
4175
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4176
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4177
4178
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4179
4180
TESTING:
4181
4182
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4183
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4184
4185
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4186
4187
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4188
4189
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4190
4191
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4192
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4193
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4194
4195
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4196
4197
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4198
(John Arbash Meinel)
4199
4200
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4201
4202
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4203
If adding a new test script please add that to
4204
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4205
4206
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4207
imported. (Martin Pool)
4208
4209
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4210
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4211
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4212
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4213
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4214
(Robert Collins)
4215
4216
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4217
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4218
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4219
4220
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4221
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4222
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4223
4224
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4225
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4226
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4227
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4228
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4229
(Robert Collins).
4230
4231
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4232
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4233
(Robert Collins).
4234
4235
INTERNALS:
4236
4237
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4238
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4239
4240
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4241
function. (Robert Collins)
4242
4243
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4244
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4245
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4246
4247
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4248
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4249
(Robert Collins)
4250
4251
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4252
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4253
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4254
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4255
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4256
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4257
version. (Robert Collins)
4258
4259
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4260
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4261
4262
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4263
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4264
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4265
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4266
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4267
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4268
4269
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4270
(Robert Collins)
4271
4272
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4273
4274
add()
4275
commit()
4276
move()
4277
rename_one()
4278
unknowns()
4279
4280
(Robert Collins)
4281
4282
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4283
4284
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4285
4286
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4287
Pool)
4288
4289
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4290
query method. (Robert Collins)
4291
4292
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4293
(Denys Duchier)
4294
4295
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4296
(Michael Ellerman)
4297
4298
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4299
(Michael Ellerman)
4300
4301
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4302
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4303
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4304
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4305
4306
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4307
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4308
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4309
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4310
4311
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4312
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4313

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4315
------------------
4316
4317
IMPROVEMENTS:
4318
4319
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4320
(John A Meinel)
4321
4322
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4323
conflicts.
4324
(Aaron Bentley)
4325
4326
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4327
a separator, not ':'.
4328
(Aaron Bentley)
4329
4330
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4331
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4332
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4333
4334
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4335
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4336
(Robert Collins)
4337
4338
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4339
has been added that suppresses all output.
4340
4341
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4342
Adams.
4343
4344
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4345
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4346
4347
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4348
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4349
4350
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4351
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4352
4353
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4354
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4355
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4356
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4357
4358
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4359
4360
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4361
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4362
4363
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4364
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4365
4366
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4367
output directory, if one was supplied.
4368
4369
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4370
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4371
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4372
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4373
4374
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4375
4376
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4377
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4378
4379
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4380
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4381
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4382
4383
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4384
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4385
4386
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4387
(Aaron Bentley)
4388
4389
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4390
4391
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4392
4393
TESTING:
4394
4395
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4396
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4397
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4398
4399
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4400
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4401
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4402
4403
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4404
is given. (Martin Pool)
4405
4406
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4407
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4408
file. (Robert Collins)
4409
4410
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4411
(Martin Pool)
4412
4413
INTERNALS:
4414
4415
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4416
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4417
representation. (Martin Pool).
4418
4419
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4420
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4421
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4422
4423
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4424
(Robert Collins)
4425
4426
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4427
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4428
Magnus Therning.
4429
4430
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4431
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4432
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4433
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4434
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4435
4436
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4437
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4438
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4439
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4440
python path. (Robert Collins)
4441
4442
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4443
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4444
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4445
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4446
4447
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4448
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4449
4450
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4451
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4452
(Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4455
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4456
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4457
4458
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4459
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4460
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4461
4462
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4463
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4464
4465
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4466
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4467
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4468
(Robert Collins)
4469
4470
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4471
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4472
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4473
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4474
(Robert Collins)
4475
4476
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4477
(Robert Collins)
4478
4479
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4480
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4481
(Robert Collins)
4482
4483
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4484
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4485
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4486
4487
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4488
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4489
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4490
4491
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4492
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4493
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4494
4495
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4496
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4497
4498
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4499
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4500
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4501
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4502
caller. (Robert Collins)
4503
4504
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4505
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4506
(Robert Collins).
4507
4508
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4509
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4510
(Aaron Bentley)
4511
4512
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4513
4514
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4515
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4516
4517
BUG FIXES:
4518
4519
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4520
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4521
4522
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4523
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4524
4525
4526
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4527
--------------------
4528
4529
BUG FIXES:
4530
4531
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4532
allow directories to be listed.
4533
4534
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4535
upgrading branch format.
4536
4537
PERFORMANCE:
4538
4539
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

4541
4542
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4543
------------------
4544
4545
NOTES:
4546
4547
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4548
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4549
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4550
high-latency connections.
4551
4552
BUG FIXES:
4553
4554
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4555
Rob Weir.
4556
4557
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4558
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4559
4560
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4561
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4562
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4563
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4564
4565
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4566
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4567
4568
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4569
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4570
4571
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4572
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4573
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4574
4575
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4576
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4577
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4578
Robert Collins
4579
4580
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4581
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4582
4583
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4584
different partial views of history.
4585
4586
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4587
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4588
4589
IMPROVEMENTS:
4590
4591
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4592
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4593
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4594
4595
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4596
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4597
'bzr upgrade'.
4598
4599
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4600
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4601
4602
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4603
Niemeyer.
4604
4605
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4606
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4607
4608
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4609
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4610
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4611
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4612
4613
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4614
4615
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4616
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4617
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4618
4619
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4620
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4621
4622
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4623
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4624
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4625
4626
4627
INTERNALS:
4628
4629
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4630
for your viewing pleasure.
4631
4632
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4633
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4634
4635
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4636
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4637
handling of such circumstances.
4638
4639
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4640
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4641
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4642
4643
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4644
4645
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4646
we call them revisions not patches.
4647
4648
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4649
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4650
4651
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4652
giving the revision *of that file*.
4653
4654
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4655
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4656
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4657
4658
TESTING:
4659
4660
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4661
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4662
4663
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4664
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4665
4666
4667
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4668
--------------------
4669
4670
BUG FIXES:
4671
4672
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4673
4674
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4675
(Robert Collins).
4676
4677
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4678
4679
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4680
4681
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4682
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4683
4684
IMPROVEMENTS:
4685
4686
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4687
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4688
4689
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4690
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4691
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4692
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4693
Robey Pointer
4694
4695
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4696
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4697
4698
INTERNALS:
4699
4700
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4701
4702
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4703
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4704
4705
4706
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4707
--------------------
4708
4709
IMPROVEMENTS:
4710
4711
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4712
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4713
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4714
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4715
Michael Ellerman.
4716
4717
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4718
(Nir Soffer)
4719
4720
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4721
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4722
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4723
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4724
for the operating system is still tried.
4725
4726
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4727
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4728
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4729
4730
4731
INTERNALS:
4732
4733
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4734
4735
BUG FIXES:
4736
4737
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4738
4739
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4740
branch.
4741
4742
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4743
read.
4744
4745
4746
PORTABILITY:
4747
4748
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4749
4750
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4751
4752
4753
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4754
--------------------
4755
4756
NEW FEATURES:
4757
4758
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4759
help with intelligent shell completion.
4760
4761
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4762
4763
4764
ENHANCEMENTS:
4765
4766
* Much better merge support.
4767
4768
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4769
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4770
like emacs smerge.
4771
4772
4773
BUG FIXES:
4774
4775
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4776
mention revisions that are not present.
4777
4778
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4779
4780
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4781
4782
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4783
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4784
4785
4786
CHANGES:
4787
4788
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4789
4790
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4791
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4792
--help themselves.
4793
4794
4795
LIBRARY:
4796
4797
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4798
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4799
libraries.
4800
4801
4802
4803
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4804
--------------------
4805
4806
NEW FEATURES:
4807
4808
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4809
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4810
4811
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4812
4813
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4814
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4815
4816
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4817
FOO.
4818
4819
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4820
4821
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4822
the Unix command.
4823
4824
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4825
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4826
4827
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4828
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4829
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4830
4831
4832
ENHANCEMENTS:
4833
4834
* Faster working tree operations.
4835
4836
4837
CHANGES:
4838
4839
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4840
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4841
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4842
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4843
4844
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4845
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4846
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4847
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4848
standard plugins directory.
4849
4850
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4851
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4852
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4853
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4854
4855
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4856
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4857
4858
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4859
disk.
4860
4861
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4862
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4863
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4864
4865
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4866
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4867
4868
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4869
line options must come before the command name because they
4870
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4871
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4872
it.
4873
4874
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4875
4876
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4877
is available with ``--short``.
4878
4879
4880
BUG FIXES:
4881
4882
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4883
4884
4885
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4886
---------------------
4887
4888
CHANGES:
4889
4890
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4891
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4892
4893
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4894
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4895
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4896
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4897
4898
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4899
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4900
with the ``--forward`` option.
4901
4902
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4903
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4904
field.
4905
4906
4907
ENHANCEMENTS:
4908
4909
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4910
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4911
4912
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4913
4914
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4915
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4916
4917
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4918
4919
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4920
either read or write mode.
4921
4922
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4923
4924
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4925
affected that file.
4926
4927
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4928
4929
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4930
suggested by LarstiQ.
4931
4932
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4933
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4934
4935
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4936
a filename.
4937
4938
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4939
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4940
4941
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4942
haven't changed since the previous time.
4943
4944
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4945
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4946
4947
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4948
4949
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4950
4951
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4952
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4953
4954
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4955
options through to an external GNU diff.
4956
4957
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4958
their contents.
4959
4960
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4961
from a branch.
4962
4963
4964
BUG FIXES:
4965
4966
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4967
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4968
4969
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4970
metacharacters.
4971
4972
4973
TESTING:
4974
4975
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4976
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4977
the tests.
4978
4979
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4980
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4981
4982
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4983
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4984
4985
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4986
under a different version.
4987
4988
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4989
4990
4991
INTERNAL:
4992
4993
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4994
4995
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4996
Scott James Remnant.
4997
4998
* Better help messages for many commands.
4999
5000
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5001
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5002
5003
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5004
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5005
5006
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5007
5008
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5009
5010
* New AtomicFile class.
5011
5012
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5013
5014
5015
PORTABILITY:
5016
5017
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5018
2.4 is now only recommended.

5020
5021
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5022
---------------------
5023
5024
ENHANCEMENTS:
5025
5026
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5027
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5028
5029
* More default ignore patterns.
5030
5031
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5032
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5033
5034
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5035
5036
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5037
by Jason Diamon.
5038
5039
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5040
5041
5042
CHANGES:
5043
5044
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5045
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5046
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5047
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5048
there are DNS problems.
5049
5050
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5051
5052
5053
BUG FIXES:
5054
5055
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5056
5057
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5058
5059
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5060
trailing newlines properly.
5061
5062
5063
INTERNAL:
5064
5065
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5066
Matt Brubeck.
5067
5068
* More tests in test.sh.
5069
5070
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5071
directory and delete it when done.
5072
5073
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5074
5075
5076
PORTABILITY:
5077
5078
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5079
Bennetts.
5080
5081
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5082
from QuantumG.

5085
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5086
---------------------
5087
5088
ENHANCEMENTS:
5089
5090
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5091
in the tree.
5092
5093
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5094
5095
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5096
and/or directory.
5097
5098
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5099
directory.
5100
5101
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5102
5103
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5104
5105
CHANGES:
5106
5107
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5108
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5109
will do for now.)
5110
5111
PORTABILITY:
5112
5113
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5114
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5115
Nielsen.
5116
5117
INTERNAL:
5118
5119
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5120
5121
TESTING:
5122
5123
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
5124

5134
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5135
-----------------------------------
5136
5137
ENHANCEMENTS:
5138
5139
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5140
5141
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5142
rather than replacing it.
5143
5144
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5145
5146
* More help topics.
5147
5148
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5149
