IN DEVELOPMENT

--------------

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
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
51
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
52
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
53
54
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
55
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
56
(John Arbash Meinel)
57
58
BUGFIXES:
59
60
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
61
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
62
63
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
64
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
65
66
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
67
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
68
69
* pull --quiet is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
70
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
71
#185907)
72
73
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
74
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
75
76
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
77
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
78
79
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
80
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
81
82
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
83
more characters which should be considered valid.
84
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
85
86
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
87
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
88
89
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
90
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
91
92
API BREAKS:
93
94
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
95
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
96
97
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
98
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
99
(Martin Pool)
100
101
TESTING:
102
103
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
104
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
105
(Vincent Ladeuil)
106
107
INTERNALS:
108
109
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
110
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
111
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
112
113
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
114
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
115
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
116
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
117
118
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
119
120
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
121
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
122
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
123
server. (Robert Collins)
124
125
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
126
operate. (Robert Collins)
127
128
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
129
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
130
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
131
132
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
133
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
134
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
135
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
136
137
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
138
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
139
140
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
141
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
142
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
143
144
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
145
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
146
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
147
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
148
149
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
150
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
151
152
153
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
154
------------------
155
156
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
157
158
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
159
---------------------
160
161
CHANGES:
162
163
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
164
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
165
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
166
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
167
168
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
169
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
170
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
171
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
172
173
FEATURES:
174
175
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
176
(Lukáš Lalinský)
177
178
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
179
(Aaron Bentley)
180
181
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
182
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
183
184
IMPROVEMENTS:
185
186
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
187
#90049)
188
189
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
190
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
191
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
192
193
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
194
195
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
196
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
197
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
198
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
199
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
200
201
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
202
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
203
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
204
205
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
206
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
207
208
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
209
(Vincent Ladeuil)
210
211
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
212
213
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
214
215
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
216
(Aaron Bentley)
217
218
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
219
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
220
221
BUGFIXES:
222
223
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
224
(Martin Pool, #180208)
225
226
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
227
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
228
229
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
230
(Aaron Bentley)
231
232
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
233
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
234
235
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
236
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
237
238
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
239
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
240
241
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
242
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
243
244
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
245
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
246
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
247
248
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
250
251
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
252
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
253
(Aaron Bentley)
254
255
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
256
257
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
258
user:pass embedded in the urls.
259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
260
261
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
262
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
263
264
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
265
(Aaron Bentley)
266
267
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
268
#148087)
269
270
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
271
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
272
273
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
274
#137681)
275
276
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
277
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
278
(Aaron Bentley)
279
280
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
281
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
283
284
DOCUMENTATION:
285
286
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
287
(Ian Clatworthy)
288
289
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
290
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
291
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
292
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
293
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
294
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
295
296
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
297
298
INTERNALS:
299
300
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
301
(Aaron Bentley)
302
303
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
304
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
305
306
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
307
308
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
309
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
310
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
311
Robert Collins)
312
313
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
314
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
315
316
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
317
(Vincent Ladeuil)
318
319
API BREAKS:
320
321
TESTING:
322
323
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
324
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
325
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
326
327
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
328
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
329
(Robert Collins)
330
331
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
332
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
333
334
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
335
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
336
337
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
338
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
339
340
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
341
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
342
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
343
344
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
345
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
346
347
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
348
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
349
350
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
351
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
352
(Vincent Ladeuil)
353
354
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
355
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
356
357
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
358
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
359
360
361
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
362
------------------
363
364
DOCUMENTATION:
365
366
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
367
368
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
369
(Ian Clatworthy)
370
371
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
372
373
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
374
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
375
(Ian Clatworthy)
376
377
378
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
379
---------------------
380
381
CHANGES:
382
383
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
384
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
385
by mail to the mailing list.
386
(Martin Pool)
387
388
BUGFIXES:
389
390
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
391
392
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
393
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
394
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
395
feedback but also incur more latency.
396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
397
398
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
399
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
400
401
DOCUMENTATION:
402
403
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
404
405
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
406
(Ian Clatworthy)
407
408
INTERNALS:
409
410
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
411
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
412
wraps its output in a StringIO.
413
(Vincent Ladeuil)
414
415
416
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
417
---------------------
418
419
IMPROVEMENTS:
420
421
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
422
423
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
424
(Aaron Bentley)
425
426
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
427
Nordhoff, #172612)
428
429
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
430
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
431
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
432
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
433
434
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
435
(Kent Gibson)
436
437
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
438
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
439
440
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
441
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
442
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
443
444
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
445
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
446
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
447
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
448
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
449
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
450
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
451
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
452
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
453
454
INTERNALS:
455
456
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
457
(Vincent Ladeuil)
458
459
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
460
461
BUGFIXES:
462
463
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
464
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
465
466
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
467
filename to user.
468
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
469
470
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
471
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
472
required.
473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
474
475
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
476
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
477
478
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
479
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
480
481
API BREAKS:
482
483
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
484
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
488
---------------------
489
490
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
491
492
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
493
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
494
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
495
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
496
497
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
498
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
499
500
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
501
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
502
503
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
504
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
505
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
506
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
507
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
508
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
509
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
510
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
511
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
512
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
513
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
514
from any tree without problems.
515
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
516
517
CHANGES:
518
519
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
520
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
521
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
522
523
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
524
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
525
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
526
(Martin Pool)
527
528
FEATURES:
529
530
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
531
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
532
supported transports.
533
(Vincent Ladeuil)
534
535
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
536
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
537
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
538
539
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
540
(Robert Collins, #154173)
541
542
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
543
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
544
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
545
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
546
547
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
548
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
549
550
PERFORMANCE:
551
552
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
553
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
554
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
555
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
556
557
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
558
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
559
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
560
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
561
562
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
563
(Robert Collins, #88319)
564
565
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
566
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
567
568
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
569
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
570
571
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
572
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
573
(Aaron Bentley)
574
575
IMPROVEMENTS:
576
577
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
578
(Aaron Bentley)
579
580
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
581
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
582
(Lukáš Lalinský)
583
584
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
585
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
586
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
587
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
588
589
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
590
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
591
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
592
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

599
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
600
601
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
602
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
603
604
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
605
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
606
607
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
609
610
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
611
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
612
613
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
614
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
615
616
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
618
619
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
620
(Aaron Bentley)
621
622
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
624
625
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
626
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
628
629
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
630
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
631
632
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
633
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
634
635
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
636
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
637
638
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
640
641
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
642
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
643
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
644
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
645
on them.
646
(Martin Pool, #164637)
647
648
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
649
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
651
652
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
653
(Robert Collins, #161240)
654
655
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
656
to be reconciled.
657
(Martin Pool, #164443)
658
659
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
660
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
661
662
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
663
specify a port in urls.
664
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
665
666
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
667
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
668
669
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
670
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
671
672
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
673
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
674
675
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
676
(Robert Collins, #153789)
677
678
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
679
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
680
(Robert Collins, #165304).
681
682
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
683
684
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
685
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
686
687
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
688
Watkins, #152811)
689
690
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
691
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
692
693
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
694
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
695
696
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
697
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
698
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
699
700
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
701
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
702
703
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
704
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
705
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
706
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
707
708
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
709
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
710
711
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
712
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
713
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
714
715
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
716
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
717
718
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
720
721
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
723
724
API BREAKS:
725
726
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
727
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
728
729
* The return value of
730
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
731
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
732
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
733
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
734
735
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
736
(Robert Collins)
737
738
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
739
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
740
format.
741
(Martin Pool)
742
743
INTERNALS:
744
745
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
746
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
747
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
748
Bennetts)
749
750
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
751
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
752
753
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
770
771
CHANGES:
772
773
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
774
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
775
776
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
777
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
778
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
779
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
780
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
781
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
782
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
783
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
784
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
785
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
786
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
787
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
788
(Robert Collins)
789
790
FEATURES:
791
792
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
793
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
794
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
795
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
796
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
797
for further details. (Robert Collins)
798
799
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
800
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
801
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
802
(Robert Collins)
803
804
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
805
806
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
807
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
808
809
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
810
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
811
(Aaron Bentley)
812
813
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
814
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
815
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
816
817
PERFORMANCE:
818
819
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
820
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
821
822
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
823
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
824
825
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
826
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
827
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
828
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
829
830
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
831
(Robert Collins)
832
833
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
834
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
835
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
836
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
837
838
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
839
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
840
841
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
842
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
843
844
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
845
the contents. (Robert Collins)
846
847
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
848
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
849
850
IMPROVEMENTS:
851
852
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
853
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
854
855
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
856
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
857
858
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
859
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
860
861
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
862
(Martin Pool, #63894)
863
864
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
865
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
866
867
DOCUMENTATION:
868
869
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
870
871
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
872
(Ian Clatworthy)
873
874
BUG FIXES:
875
876
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
877
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
878
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
879
880
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
881
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
882
883
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
884
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
885
886
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
887
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
888
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
889
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
890
891
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
892
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
893
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
894
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
895
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
896
897
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
898
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
899
paramiko.
900
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
901
902
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
903
904
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
905
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
906
907
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
908
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
909
910
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
912
913
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
914
contains a symbolic link.
915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
916
917
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
918
(James Westby, #140615)
919
920
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
921
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
923
924
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
925
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
926
(Martin Pool, #144633)
927
928
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
929
930
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
931
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
932
933
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
934
will remain opened.
935
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
936
937
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
938
directory to detect leaking tests.
939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
940
941
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
942
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
943
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
944
945
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
946
(Rob Weir, #141629)
947
948
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
949
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
950
951
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
952
Merwe)
953
954
API BREAKS:
955
956
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
957
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
958
959
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
960
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
961
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
962
963
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
964
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
965
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
966
967
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
968
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
969
970
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
971
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
972
973
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
974
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
975
(Martin Pool)
976
977
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
978
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
979
980
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
981
class that needs it.
982
(Martin Pool)
983
984
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
985
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
986
987
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
988
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
989
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
990
991
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
992
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
993
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
994
(Robert Collins)
995
996
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
997
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
998
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
999
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1000
(Robert Collins)
1001
1002
INTERNALS:
1003
1004
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1005
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1006
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1007
1008
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1009
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1010
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1011
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1012
1013
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1014
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1015
(Robert Collins)
1016
1017
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1018
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1019
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1020
1021
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1022
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1023
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1024
1025
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1026
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1027
1028
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1029
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1030
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1031
1032
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1033
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1034
1035
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1036
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1037
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1038
1039
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1040
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1041
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1042
1043
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1044
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1045
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1046
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1047
1048
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1049
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1050
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1051
returned. (Robert Collins)
1052
1053
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1054
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1055
1056
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1057
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1058
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1059
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1060
(Robert Collins)
1061
1062
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1063
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1064
1065
TESTING:
1066
1067
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1068
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1069
1070
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1071
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1072
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1073
makes this behavior available to other users.
1074
(Martin Pool)
1075
1076
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1077
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1078

1080
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1081
-------------------
1082
1083
BUG FIXES:
1084
1085
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1086
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1087
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1088
1089
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1090
1091
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1092
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1093
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1094
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1095
1096
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1097
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1098
(Andrew Bennetts)

1100
1101
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1102
----------------------
1103
1104
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1105
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1106
1107
1108
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1109
----------------------
1110
1111
CHANGES:
1112
1113
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1114
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1115
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1116
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1117
(Martin Pool)
1118
1119
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1120
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1121
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1122
(Ian Clatworthy)
1123
1124
FEATURES:
1125
1126
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1127
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1128
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1129
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1130
1131
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1132
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1133
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1134
1135
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1136
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1137
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1138
1139
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1140
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1141
1142
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1143
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1144
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1145
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1146
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1147
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1148
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1149
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1150
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1151
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1152
1153
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1154
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1155
1156
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1157
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1158
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1159
1160
BUG FIXES:
1161
1162
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1163
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1164
1165
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1166
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1167
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1168
1169
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1170
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1171
1172
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1173
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
1175
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1176
(Aaron Bentley)
1177
1178
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1179
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1180
1181
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1182
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1183
1184
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1185
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1186
1187
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1188
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1189
1190
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1191
1192
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1193
Watkins, #106726)
1194
1195
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1196
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1197
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1198
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1199
1200
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1201
1202
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1203
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1204
#133548)
1205
1206
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1207
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1208
1209
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1210
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1211
#116143)
1212
1213
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1214
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1215
1216
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1217
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1218
1219
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1220
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1221
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1222
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1223
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1224
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1225
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1226
1227
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1228
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1229
1230
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1231
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1232
1233
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1234
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1235
1236
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1238
1239
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1240
connections.
1241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1242
1243
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1244
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1245
1246
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1247
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1248
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1249
1250
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1251
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1252
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1253
1254
IMPROVEMENTS:
1255
1256
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1257
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1258
1259
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1260
(Aaron Bentley)
1261
1262
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1263
(Aaron Bentley)
1264
1265
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1266
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1267
1268
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1269
1270
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1271
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1272
1273
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1274
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1275
1276
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1277
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1278
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1279
space). (Robert Collins)
1280
1281
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1282
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1283
(Ian Clatworthy)
1284
1285
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1286
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1287
1288
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1289
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1290
1291
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1292
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1293
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1294
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1295
1296
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1297
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1298
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1299
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1300
1301
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1302
(Ian Clatworthy)
1303
1304
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1305
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1306
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1307
1308
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1309
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1310
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1311
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1312
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1313
1314
API BREAKS:
1315
1316
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1317
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1318
1319
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1320
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1321
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1322
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1323
affected. (Robert Collins)
1324
1325
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1326
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1327
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1328
(Robert Collins)
1329
1330
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1331
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1332
1333
TESTING:
1334
1335
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1336
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1337
1338
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1339
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1340
1341
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1342
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1343
1344
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1345
(Aaron Bentley)
1346
1347
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1348
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1349
1350
INTERNALS:
1351
1352
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1353
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1354
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1355
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1356
1357
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1358
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1359
1360
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1361
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1362
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1363
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1364
1365
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1366
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1367
present. (Robert Collins)
1368
1369
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1370
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1371
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1372
API. (Robert Collins)
1373
1374
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1375
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1376
(Robert Collins)
1377
1378
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1379
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1380
1381
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1382
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1383
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1384
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1385
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1386
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1387
1388
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1389
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1390
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1393
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1394
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1395
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1396
protocol.
1397
1398
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1399
(Aaron Bentley)
1400
1401
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1402
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1403
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1404
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1405
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1406
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1407
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1408
1409
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1410
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1411
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1412
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1413
1414
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1415
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1416
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1417
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1418
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1419
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1420
1421
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1422
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1423
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1424
1425
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1426
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1431
1432
IMPROVEMENTS:
1433
1434
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1435
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1436
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1437
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1438
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1439
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1440
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1442
1443
1444
API CHANGES:
1445
1446
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1447
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1448
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1449
1450
1451
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1452
----------------------
1453
1454
BUGFIXES:
1455
1456
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1457
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1458
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1459
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1460
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1461
1462
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1464
1465
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1466
anymore.
1467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1468
1469
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1470
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1471
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1472
1473
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1474
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1475
#111664)
1476
1477
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1478
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1479
1480
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1481
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1482
1483
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1484
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1485
1486
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1487
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1488
1489
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1490
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1491
1492
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1493
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1494
1495
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1496
(Aaron Bentley)
1497
1498
IMPROVEMENTS:
1499
1500
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1501
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1502
1503
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1504
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1505
1506
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1507
the repository (Robert Collins)
1508
1509
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1510
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1511
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1512
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1513
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1514
1515
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1516
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1517
1518
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1519
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1520
(John Arbash Meinel)
1521
1522
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1523
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1524
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1525
about 10%).
1526
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1527
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1528
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1529
(John Arbash Meinel)
1530
1531
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1532
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1533
(Robert Collins)
1534
1535
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1536
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1537
1538
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1539
(Ian Clatworthy)
1540
1541
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1542
1543
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1544
1545
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1546
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1547
1548
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1549
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1550
Meinel)
1551
1552
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1553
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1554
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1555
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1556
1557
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1558
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1559
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1560
1561
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1562
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1563
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1564
1565
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1566
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1567
1568
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1569
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1570
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1571
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1572
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1573
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1574
(Ian Clatworthy)
1575
1576
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1577
(Alexander Belchenko)
1578
1579
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1580
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1581
1582
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1583
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1584
1585
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1586
1587
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1588
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1589
1590
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1591
1592
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1593
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1594
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1595
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1596
1597
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1598
1599
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1600
(Robert Collins)
1601
1602
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1603
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1604
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1605
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1606
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1607
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1608
1609
INTERNALS:
1610
1611
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1612
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1613
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1614
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1615
1616
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1617
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1618
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1619
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1620
tests have been refactored too.
1621
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1622
1623
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1624
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1625
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1626
list, it will.
1627
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1628
1629
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1630
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1631
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1632
1633
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1634
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1635
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1636
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1637
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1638
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1639
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1642
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1643
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1644
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1645
(John Arbash Meinel)
1646
1647
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1648
functionality for testing.
1649
1650
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1651
1652
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1653
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1654
1655
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1656
1657
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1658
(Robert Collins)
1659
1660
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1661
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1662
1663
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1664
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1665
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1666
1667
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1668
(Aaron Bentley)
1669
1670
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1671
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1672
1673
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1674
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1675
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1676
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1677
1678
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1679
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1680
1681
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1682
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1683
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1684
1685
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1686
(Marius Kruger)
1687
1688
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1689
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1690
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1691
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1692
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1693
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1694
1695
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1696
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1697
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1698
many files. (Robert Collins)
1699
1700
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1701
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1702
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1703
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1704
1705
TESTING:
1706
1707
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1708
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1709
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1710
1711
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1712
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1713
1714
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1715
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1716
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1731
1732
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1733
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1734
1735
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1736
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1737
(James Westby, #122656)
1738
1739
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1740
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1741
1742
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1743
authentication header.
1744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1745
1746
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1747
1748
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1749
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1750
1751
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1752
1753
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1755
1756
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1757
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1759
1760
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1761
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1762
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1763
1764
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1765
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1766
1767
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1769
1770
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1771
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1772
1773
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1774
1775
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1776
1777
IMPROVEMENTS:
1778
1779
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1780
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1781
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1782
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1783
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1784
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1785
1786
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1787
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1788
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1789
1790
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1791
(Elliot Murphy)
1792
1793
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1794
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1795
1796
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1797
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1798
1799
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1800
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1801
1802
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1803
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1804
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1805
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1806
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1807
1808
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1809
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1810
1811
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1812
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1813
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1814
1815
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1816
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1817
1818
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1819
1820
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1821
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1822
1823
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1824
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1825
(Robert Collins)
1826
1827
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1828
(Martin Pool)
1829
1830
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1831
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1832
1833
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1834
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1835
1836
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1837
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1838
1839
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1840
1841
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1842
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1843
1844
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1845
(Andrew Bennetts)
1846
1847
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1848
1849
* Testing cleanups -

``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1851
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;

1866
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.

1869
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1870
1871
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1872
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1873
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1874
1875
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1876
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1877
1878
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1879
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1880
1881
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1882
1883
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1884
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1885
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1886
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1887
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1888
same location. (Robert Collins)
1889
1890
INTERNALS:
1891
1892
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1893
1894
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1895
1896
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1897
1898
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1899
(Martin Pool)
1900
1901
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1902
(Martin Pool)
1903
1904
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1905
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1906
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1907
1908
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1909
1910
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1911
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1912
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1913
1914
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1915
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1916
1917
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1918
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1919
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1920
1921
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1922
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1923
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1924
1925
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1926
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1927
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1928
1929
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1930
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1931
Martin Pool)
1932
1933
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1934
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1935
1936
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1937
(Alexander Belchenko)
1938
1939
TESTING:
1940
1941
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1942
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1943
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1944
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1945
1946
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1947
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1948
testing. (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1951
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1952
1953
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1954
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1955
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1956
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1957
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1958
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1959
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1960
1961
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1962
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1963
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1964
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1965
1966
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1967
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1968
1969
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1970
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1990
1991
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1992
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1993
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1994
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1995
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1996
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1997
and unlock() like so::
1998
1999
work_tree.lock_read()
2000
try:
2001
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2002
finally:
2003
work_tree.unlock()
2004
2005
INTERNALS:
2006
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2007
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2008
object.
2009
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2010
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2011
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2012
2013
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2014
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2015
too. (Robert Collins)
2016
2017
IMPROVEMENTS:
2018
2019
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2020
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2021
Aaron Bentley)
2022
2023
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2024
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2025
2026
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2027
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2028
2029
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2030
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2031
understanding what changes have occurred
2032
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2033
2034
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2035
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2036
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2037
2038
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2039
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2040
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2041
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2042
2043
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2044
#56322)
2045
2046
BUGFIXES:
2047
2048
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2049
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2050
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2051
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2052
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2053
2054
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2055
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2056
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2057
2058
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2060
2061
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2062
into account.
2063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2064
2065
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2066
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2067
2068
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2069
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2070
2071
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2072
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2073
2074
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2075
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2076
2077
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2078
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2079
2080
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2081
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2082
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2085
--------------------
2086
2087
BUGFIXES:
2088
2089
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2090
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2091
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2092
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2093
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2094
2095
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2096
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2097
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2098
2099
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2100
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2101
2102
IMPROVEMENTS:
2103
2104
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2105
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2106
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2107
2108
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2109
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2110
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2111
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2114
-----------------------
2115
2116
BUGFIXES:
2117
2118
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2119
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2120
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2121
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2122
2123
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2124
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2125
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2126
2127
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2128
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2129
2130
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2131
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2132
2133
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2134
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2136
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2137
-----------------------
2138
2139
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2140
2141
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2142
it could be recovered again.
2143
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2144
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2145
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2146
but not delete it.
2147
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2148
files.
2149
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2150
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2151
2152
IMPROVEMENTS:
2153
2154
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2155
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2156
2157
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2158
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2159
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2160
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2161
2162
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2163
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2164
2165
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2166
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2167
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2168
2169
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2170
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2171
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2172
2173
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2174
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2175
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2176
2177
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2178
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2179
Robert Collins)
2180
2181
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2182
Pool)
2183
2184
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2185
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2186
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2187
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2188
2189
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2190
(Robert Collins)
2191
2192
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2193
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2194
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2195
(Robert Collins)
2196
2197
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2198
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2199
2200
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2201
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2202
2203
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2204
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2205
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2206
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2207
(Robert Collins)
2208
2209
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2210
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2211
2212
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2213
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2214
2215
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2216
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2217
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2218
2219
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2220
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2221
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2222
2223
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2224
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2225
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2226
2227
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2228
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2229
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2230
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2231
2232
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2233
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2234
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2235
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2236
2237
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2238
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2239
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2240
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2241
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2242
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2243
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2244
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2245
header(s).
2246
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2247
2248
INTERNALS:
2249
2250
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2251
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2254
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2255
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2256
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2257
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2258
2259
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2260
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2261
2262
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2263
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2264
2265
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2266
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2267
2268
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2269
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2270
2271
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2272
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2273
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2274
(Robert Collins).
2275
2276
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2277
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2278
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2279
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2280
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2281
(Robert Collins)
2282
2283
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2284
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2285
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2286
2287
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2288
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2289
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2290
2291
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2292
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2293
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2294
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2295
2296
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2297
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2298
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2299
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2300
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2301
2302
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2303
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2304
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2305
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2308
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2309
2310
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2311
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2312
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2313
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2314
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2315
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2316
2317
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2318
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2319
2320
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2321
help. (Robert Collins)
2322
2323
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2324
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2325
2326
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2327
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2328
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2329
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2330
(John Arbash Meinel)
2331
2332
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2333
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2334
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2335
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2336
useful. (Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2339
(Andrew Bennetts)

2341
BUGFIXES:
2342
2343
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2344
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2345
2346
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2347
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2348
2349
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2350
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2351
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2352
2353
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2354
(Aaron Bentley)
2355
2356
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2357
the file, and does it faster.
2358
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2359
2360
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2361
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2362
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2363
2364
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2365
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2366
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2367
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2368
2369
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2370
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2371
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2372
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2373
2374
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2375
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2376
2377
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2378
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2379
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2380
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2381
Arbash Meinel)
2382
2383
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2384
2385
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2386
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2387
2388
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2389
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2390
2391
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2392
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2393
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2394
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2395
security hole.
2396
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2397
2398
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2399
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2400
2401
TESTING:
2402
2403
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2404
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2405
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2406
2407
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2408
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2409
2410
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2411
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2412
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2413
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2414
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2415
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2416
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2417
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2418
2419
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2420
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2421
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2422
2423
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2424
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2425
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2426
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2427
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2428
access.
2429
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2430
2431
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2432
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2433
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2434
2435
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2436
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2452
-----------------------
2453
2454
CHANGES:
2455
2456
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2457
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2458
(Martin Pool)
2459
2460
IMPROVEMENTS:
2461
2462
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2463
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2464
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2465
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2466
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2467
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2468
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2469
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2470
path. (vila)
2471
2472
INTERNALS:
2473
2474
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2475
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2476
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2477
2478
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2479
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2480
(Martin Pool)
2481
2482
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2483
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2484
(John Arbash Meinel)
2485
2486
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2487
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2488
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2489
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2490
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2491
2492
BUGFIXES:
2493
2494
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2495
(vila, #92195)
2496
2497
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2498
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2499
2500
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2501
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2502
2503
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2504
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2505
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2506
2507
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2508
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2509
2510
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2511
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2512
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2513
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2514
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2515
2516
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2517
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2518
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2519
2520
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2524
-----------------------
2525
2526
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2527
2528
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2529
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2530
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2531
2532
IMPROVEMENTS:
2533
2534
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2535
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2536
2537
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2538
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2539
2540
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2541
2542
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2543
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2544
2545
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2546
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2547
2548
INTERNALS:
2549
2550
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2551
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2552
2553
BUGFIXES:
2554
2555
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2556
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2557
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2558
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2559
2560
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2561
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2562
2563
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2564
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2565
2566
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2567
(Marien Zwart)
2568
2569
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

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

2763
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2764
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2765
#83954).
2766
2767
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2768
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2769
2770
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2771
2772
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2773
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2774
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2775
2776
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2777
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2778
2779
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2781
2782
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2784
2785
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2786
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2787
2788
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2789
2790
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2791
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2792
2793
TESTING:
2794
2795
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2796
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

2800
--------------------
2801
2802
IMPROVEMENTS:
2803
2804
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2805
2806
BUG FIXES:
2807
2808
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2809
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2810
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2811
2812
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2813
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2814
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2817
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2818
-----------------------
2819
2820
IMPROVEMENTS:
2821
2822
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2823
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2824
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2825
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2826
2827
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2828
(Marius Kruger)
2829
2830
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2831
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2832
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2833
2834
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2835
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2836
2837
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2838
(Aaron Bentley)
2839
2840
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2841
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2842
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2843
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2844
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2845
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2846
2847
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2848
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2849
should enable you to do::
2850
2851
[/home/user/project]
2852
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2853
push_location:policy = appendpath
2854
2855
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2856
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2857
(James Henstridge)
2858
2859
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2860
for each file. For example::
2861
2862
$ bzr status --short
2863
A foo
2864
A bar
2865
D baz
2866
? wooley
2867
2868
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2869
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2870
2871
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2872
2873
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2874
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2875
2876
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2877
2878
INTERNALS:
2879
2880
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2881
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2882
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2883
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2884
2885
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2886
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2887
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2888
2889
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2890
2891
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2892
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2893
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2894
(Alexander Belchenko)
2895
2896
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2897
Pool)
2898
2899
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2900
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2901
2902
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2903
2904
BUG FIXES:
2905
2906
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2907
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2908
2909
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2910
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2911
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2912
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2913
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2914
2915
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2916
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2917
2918
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2919
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2920
2921
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2922
matcher.
2923
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2924
2925
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2926
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2927
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2928
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2929
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2930
2931
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2932
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2933
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2934
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2935
2936
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2937
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2938
2939
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2940
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2941
2942
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2943
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2944
2945
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2957
IMPROVEMENTS:
2958
2959
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2960
tree from a branch.
2961
(Daniel Silverstone)
2962
2963
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2964
operations are substantially faster.
2965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2966
2967
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2968
tree from some other url. For example:
2969
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2970
(Daniel Silverstone)
2971
2972
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2973
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2974
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2975
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2976
2977
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2978
(Andrew Bennetts)
2979
2980
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2981
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2982
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2983
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2984
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2985
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2986
2987
INTERNALS:
2988
2989
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2990
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2991
(Martin Pool)
2992
2993
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2994
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2995
(John Arbash Meinel)
2996
2997
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2998
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2999
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3000
(John Arbash Meinel)
3001
3002
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3003
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3004
3005
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3006
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3007
3008
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3009
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3010
Bennetts)
3011
3012
BUG FIXES:
3013
3014
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3015
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3016
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3017
3018
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3019
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3020
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3021
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3022
3023
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3024
3025
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3026
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3027
3028
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3029
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3030
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3031
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3032
3033
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3034
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3035
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3036
3037
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3038
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3039
them as full references rather than integers.
3040
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3041
3042
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3043
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3044
3045
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3046
3047
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3048
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3049
3050
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3051
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3052
3053
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3054
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3055
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3056
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3057
3058
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3059
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3060
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3061
3062
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3063
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3064
3065
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3066
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3067
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3068
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3069
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3070
3071
TESTING:
3072
3073
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3074
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3077
--------------------
3078
3079
INTERNALS:
3080
3081
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3083
(John Arbash Meinel)
3084
3085
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3086
-----------------------
3087
3088
IMPROVEMENTS:
3089
3090
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3091
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3092
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3093
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3096
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3097
3098
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3099
3100
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3101
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3102
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3103
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3104
3105
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3106
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3107
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3108
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3109
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3110
3111
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3112
3113
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3114
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3115
3116
INTERNALS:
3117
3118
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3119
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3120
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3121
3122
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3123
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3124
(John Arbash Meinel)
3125
3126
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3127
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3128
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3129
3130
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3131
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3132
(Aaron Bentley)
3133
3134
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3135
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3136
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3137
3138
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3139
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3140
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3141
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3142
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3143
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3144
3145
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3146
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3147
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3148
(Robert Collins)
3149
3150
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3151
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3152
3153
BUG FIXES:
3154
3155
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3156
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3157
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3158
#63360, #66349)
3159
3160
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3161
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3162
3163
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3164
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3165
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3166
3167
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3168
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3169
3170
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3171
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3172
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3173
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3174
3175
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3176
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3177
3178
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3179
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3180
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3181
3182
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3183
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3184
3185
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3186
3187
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3188
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3189
#32054)
3190
3191
TESTING:
3192
3193
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3194
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3195
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3196
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3197
3198
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3199
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3200
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

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

push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3641
3642
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3643
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3644
3645
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3646
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3647
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3648
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3649
3650
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3651
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3652
3653
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3654
3655
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3656
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3657
3658
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3659
3660
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3661
3662
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3663
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3664
3665
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3666
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3667
3668
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3669
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3670
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3671
3672
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3673
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3674
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3675
3676
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3677
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3678
3679
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3680
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3681
3682
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3683
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3684
3685
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3686
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3687
3688
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3689
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3690
3691
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3692
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3693
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3694
3695
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3696
3697
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3698
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3699
3700
INTERNALS:
3701
3702
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3703
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3704
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3705
3706
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3707
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3708
3709
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3710
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3711
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3712
3713
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3714
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3715
3716
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3717
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3718
(Martin Pool)
3719
3720
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3721
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3722
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3723
3724
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3725
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3726
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3727
3728
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3729
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3730
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3731
3732
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3733
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3734
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3735
3736
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3737
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3738
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3739
3740
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3741
instead. (Robert Collins)
3742
3743
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3800
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3801
-------------------
3802
3803
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3804
3805
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3806
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3807
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3808
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3809
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3810
will keep the same format.
3811
3812
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3813
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3814
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3815
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3816
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3817
3818
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3819
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3820
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3821
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3822
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3823
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3824
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3825
3826
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3827
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3828
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3829
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3830
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3831
3832
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3833
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3834
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3835
arrangement.
3836
3837
3838
IMPROVEMENTS:
3839
3840
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3841
convention. Paths now take the form::
3842
3843
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3844
or
3845
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3846
3847
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3848
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3849
3850
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3851
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3852
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3853
3854
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3855
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3856
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3857
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3858
3859
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3860
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3861
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3862
3863
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3864
3865
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3866
3867
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3868
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3869
commits::
3870
3871
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3872
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3873
| xargs bzr re-sign
3874
3875
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3876
3877
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3878
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3879
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3880
(Robert Collins)
3881
3882
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3883
3884
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3885
3886
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3887
'.moved'.
3888
3889
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3890
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3891
3892
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3893
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3894
Daniel Silverstone)
3895
3896
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3897
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3898
Martin Pool)
3899
3900
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3901
3902
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3903
3904
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3905
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3906
3907
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3908
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3909
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3910
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3911
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3912
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3913
3914
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3915
3916
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3917
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3918
(Robert Collins)
3919
3920
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3921
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3922
3923
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3924
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3925
3926
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3927
3928
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3929
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3930
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3931
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3932
specification by Martin Pool.
3933
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3934
3935
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3936
Belchenko)
3937
3938
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3939
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3940
3941
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3942
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3943
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3944
3945
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3946
3947
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3948
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3949
(Robert Collins)
3950
3951
CHANGES:
3952
3953
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3954
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3955
3956
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3957
3958
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3959
3960
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3961
(Olaf Conradi)
3962
3963
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3964
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3965
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3966
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3967
3968
INTERNALS:
3969
3970
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3971
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3972
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3973
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3974
3975
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3976
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3977
tried. (Martin Pool)
3978
3979
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3980
(Martin Pool)
3981
3982
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3983
3984
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3985
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3986
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3987
3988
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3989
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3990
3991
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3992
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3993
paths. (Robert Collins)
3994
3995
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3996
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3997
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3998
3999
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4000
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4001
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4002
4003
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4004
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4005
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4006
4007
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4008
(Olaf Conradi)
4009
4010
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4011
(Olaf Conradi)
4012
4013
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4014
4015
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4016
4017
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4018
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4019
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4020
(Robert Collins)
4021
4022
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4023
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4024
4025
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4026
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4027
check. (Robert Collins)
4028
4029
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4030
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4031
4032
TESTING:
4033
4034
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4035
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4036
4037
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4038
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4039
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4040
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4041
4042
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4043
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4044
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4045
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4046
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4047
4048
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4049
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4050
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4051
4052
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4053
4054
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4055
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4058
------------------
4059
4060
CHANGES:
4061
4062
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4063
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4064
4065
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4066
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4067
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4068
(Johan Rydberg)
4069
4070
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4071
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4072
4073
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4074
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4075
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4076
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4077
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4078
4079
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4080
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4081
used. (Robert Collins)
4082
4083
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4084
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4085
(James Henstridge)
4086
4087
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4088
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4089
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4090
4091
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4092
ignore list.
4093
4094
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4095
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4096
4097
IMPROVEMENTS:
4098
4099
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4100
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4101
4102
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4103
4104
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4105
4106
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4107
tree. (Robert Collins)
4108
4109
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4110
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4111
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4112
(Robert Collins)
4113
4114
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4115
that they be kept.
4116
4117
* Tweaks to short log printing
4118
4119
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4120
(Aaron Bentley)
4121
4122
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4123
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4124
4125
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4126
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4127
4128
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4129
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4130
4131
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4132
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4133
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4134
4135
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4136
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4137
4138
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4139
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4140
requests.
4141
4142
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4143
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4144
4145
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4146
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4147
4148
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4149
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4150
4151
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4152
(Denys Duchier)
4153
4154
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4155
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4156
4157
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4158
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4159
4160
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4161
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4162
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4163
4164
BUG FIXES:
4165
4166
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4167
4168
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4169
4170
* Error when run with -OO
4171
4172
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4173
(Martin Pool)
4174
4175
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4176
4177
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4178
4179
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4180
ignored by diff and status
4181
4182
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4183
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4184
4185
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4186
4187
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4188
4189
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4190
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4191
4192
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4193
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4194
4195
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4196
(Harald Meland)
4197
4198
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4199
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4200
4201
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4202
4203
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4204
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4205
4206
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4207
(Martin Pool)
4208
4209
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4210
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4211
4212
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4213
4214
TESTING:
4215
4216
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4217
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4218
4219
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4220
4221
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4222
4223
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4224
4225
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4226
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4227
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4228
4229
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4230
4231
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4232
(John Arbash Meinel)
4233
4234
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4235
4236
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4237
If adding a new test script please add that to
4238
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4239
4240
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4241
imported. (Martin Pool)
4242
4243
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4244
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4245
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4246
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4247
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4248
(Robert Collins)
4249
4250
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4251
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4252
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4253
4254
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4255
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4256
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4257
4258
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4259
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4260
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4261
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4262
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4263
(Robert Collins).
4264
4265
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4266
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4267
(Robert Collins).
4268
4269
INTERNALS:
4270
4271
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4272
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4273
4274
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4275
function. (Robert Collins)
4276
4277
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4278
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4279
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4280
4281
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4282
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4283
(Robert Collins)
4284
4285
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4286
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4287
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4288
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4289
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4290
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4291
version. (Robert Collins)
4292
4293
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4294
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4295
4296
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4297
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4298
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4299
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4300
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4301
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4302
4303
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4304
(Robert Collins)
4305
4306
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4307
4308
add()
4309
commit()
4310
move()
4311
rename_one()
4312
unknowns()
4313
4314
(Robert Collins)
4315
4316
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4317
4318
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4319
4320
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4321
Pool)
4322
4323
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4324
query method. (Robert Collins)
4325
4326
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4327
(Denys Duchier)
4328
4329
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4330
(Michael Ellerman)
4331
4332
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4333
(Michael Ellerman)
4334
4335
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4336
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4337
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4338
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4339
4340
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4341
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4342
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4343
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4344
4345
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4346
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4347
4348
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4349
------------------
4350
4351
IMPROVEMENTS:
4352
4353
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4354
(John A Meinel)
4355
4356
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4357
conflicts.
4358
(Aaron Bentley)
4359
4360
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4361
a separator, not ':'.
4362
(Aaron Bentley)
4363
4364
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4365
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4366
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4367
4368
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4369
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4370
(Robert Collins)
4371
4372
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4373
has been added that suppresses all output.
4374
4375
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4376
Adams.
4377
4378
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4379
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4380
4381
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4382
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4383
4384
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4385
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4386
4387
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4388
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4389
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4390
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4391
4392
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4393
4394
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4395
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4396
4397
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4398
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4399
4400
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4401
output directory, if one was supplied.
4402
4403
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4404
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4405
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4406
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4407
4408
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4409
4410
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4411
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4412
4413
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4414
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4415
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4416
4417
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4418
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4419
4420
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4421
(Aaron Bentley)
4422
4423
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4424
4425
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4426
4427
TESTING:
4428
4429
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4430
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4431
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4432
4433
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4434
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4435
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4436
4437
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4438
is given. (Martin Pool)
4439
4440
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4441
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4442
file. (Robert Collins)
4443
4444
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4445
(Martin Pool)
4446
4447
INTERNALS:
4448
4449
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4450
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4451
representation. (Martin Pool).
4452
4453
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4454
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4455
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4456
4457
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4458
(Robert Collins)
4459
4460
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4461
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4462
Magnus Therning.
4463
4464
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4465
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4466
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4467
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4468
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4469
4470
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4471
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4472
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4473
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4474
python path. (Robert Collins)
4475
4476
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4477
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4478
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4479
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4480
4481
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4482
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4483
4484
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4485
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4486
(Robert Collins)
4487
4488
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4489
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4490
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4491
4492
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4493
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4494
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4495
4496
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4497
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4498
4499
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4500
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4501
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4502
(Robert Collins)
4503
4504
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4505
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4506
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4507
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4508
(Robert Collins)
4509
4510
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4511
(Robert Collins)
4512
4513
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4514
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4515
(Robert Collins)
4516
4517
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4518
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4519
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4520
4521
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4522
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4523
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4524
4525
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4526
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4527
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4528
4529
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4530
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4531
4532
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4533
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4534
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4535
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4536
caller. (Robert Collins)
4537
4538
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4539
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4540
(Robert Collins).
4541
4542
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4543
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4544
(Aaron Bentley)
4545
4546
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4547
4548
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4549
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4550
4551
BUG FIXES:
4552
4553
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4554
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4555
4556
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4557
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4561
--------------------
4562
4563
BUG FIXES:
4564
4565
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4566
allow directories to be listed.
4567
4568
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4569
upgrading branch format.
4570
4571
PERFORMANCE:
4572
4573
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4577
------------------
4578
4579
NOTES:
4580
4581
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4582
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4583
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4584
high-latency connections.
4585
4586
BUG FIXES:
4587
4588
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by

* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4592
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4593
4594
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4595
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4596
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4597
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4598
4599
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4600
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4601
4602
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4603
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4604
4605
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4606
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4607
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4608
4609
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4610
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4611
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4612
Robert Collins
4613
4614
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4615
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4616
4617
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4618
different partial views of history.
4619
4620
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4621
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4622
4623
IMPROVEMENTS:
4624
4625
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4626
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4627
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4628
4629
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4630
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4631
'bzr upgrade'.
4632
4633
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4634
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4635
4636
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4637
Niemeyer.
4638
4639
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4640
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4641
4642
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4643
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4644
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4645
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4646
4647
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4648
4649
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4650
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4651
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4652
4653
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4654
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4655
4656
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4657
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4658
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4659
4660
4661
INTERNALS:
4662
4663
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4664
for your viewing pleasure.
4665
4666
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4667
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4668
4669
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4670
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4671
handling of such circumstances.
4672
4673
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4674
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4675
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4676
4677
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4678
4679
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4680
we call them revisions not patches.
4681
4682
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4683
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4684
4685
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4686
giving the revision *of that file*.
4687
4688
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4689
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4690
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4691
4692
TESTING:
4693
4694
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4695
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4696
4697
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4698
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4699

4701
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4702
--------------------
4703
4704
BUG FIXES:
4705
4706
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4707
4708
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4709
(Robert Collins).
4710
4711
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4712
4713
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4714
4715
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4716
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4717
4718
IMPROVEMENTS:
4719
4720
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4721
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4722
4723
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4724
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4725
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4726
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4727
Robey Pointer
4728
4729
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4730
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4731
4732
INTERNALS:
4733
4734
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4735
4736
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4737
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4738
4739
4740
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4741
--------------------
4742
4743
IMPROVEMENTS:
4744
4745
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4746
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4747
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4748
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4749
Michael Ellerman.
4750
4751
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4752
(Nir Soffer)
4753
4754
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4755
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4756
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4757
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4758
for the operating system is still tried.
4759
4760
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4761
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4762
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4763
4764
4765
INTERNALS:
4766
4767
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4768
4769
BUG FIXES:
4770
4771
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4772
4773
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4774
branch.
4775
4776
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4777
read.
4778
4779
4780
PORTABILITY:
4781
4782
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4783
4784
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4785
4786
4787
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4788
--------------------
4789
4790
NEW FEATURES:
4791
4792
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4793
help with intelligent shell completion.
4794
4795
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4796
4797
4798
ENHANCEMENTS:
4799
4800
* Much better merge support.
4801
4802
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4803
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4804
like emacs smerge.
4805
4806
4807
BUG FIXES:
4808
4809
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4810
mention revisions that are not present.
4811
4812
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4813
4814
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4815
4816
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4817
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4818
4819
4820
CHANGES:
4821
4822
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4823
4824
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4825
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4826
--help themselves.
4827
4828
4829
LIBRARY:
4830
4831
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4832
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4833
libraries.
4834
4835
4836
4837
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4838
--------------------
4839
4840
NEW FEATURES:
4841
4842
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4843
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4844
4845
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4846
4847
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4848
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4849
4850
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4851
FOO.
4852
4853
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4854
4855
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4856
the Unix command.
4857
4858
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4859
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4860
4861
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4862
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4863
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4864
4865
4866
ENHANCEMENTS:
4867
4868
* Faster working tree operations.
4869
4870
4871
CHANGES:
4872
4873
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4874
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4875
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4876
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4877
4878
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4879
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4880
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4881
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4882
standard plugins directory.
4883
4884
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4885
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4886
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4887
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4888
4889
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4890
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4891
4892
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4893
disk.
4894
4895
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4896
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4897
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4898
4899
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4900
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4901
4902
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4903
line options must come before the command name because they
4904
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4905
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4906
it.
4907
4908
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4909
4910
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4911
is available with ``--short``.
4912
4913
4914
BUG FIXES:
4915
4916
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4917
4918
4919
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4920
---------------------
4921
4922
CHANGES:
4923
4924
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4925
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4926
4927
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4928
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4929
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4930
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4931
4932
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4933
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4934
with the ``--forward`` option.
4935
4936
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4937
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4938
field.
4939
4940
4941
ENHANCEMENTS:
4942
4943
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4944
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4945
4946
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4947
4948
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4949
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4950
4951
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4952
4953
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4954
either read or write mode.
4955
4956
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4957
4958
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4959
affected that file.
4960
4961
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4962
4963
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4964
suggested by LarstiQ.
4965
4966
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4967
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4968
4969
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4970
a filename.
4971
4972
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4973
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4974
4975
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4976
haven't changed since the previous time.
4977
4978
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4979
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4980
4981
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4982
4983
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4984
4985
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4986
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4987
4988
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4989
options through to an external GNU diff.
4990
4991
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4992
their contents.
4993
4994
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4995
from a branch.
4996
4997
4998
BUG FIXES:
4999
5000
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5001
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5002
5003
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5004
metacharacters.
5005
5006
5007
TESTING:
5008
5009
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5010
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5011
the tests.
5012
5013
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5014
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5015
5016
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5017
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5018
5019
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5020
under a different version.
5021
5022
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5023
5024
5025
INTERNAL:
5026
5027
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5028
5029
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5030
Scott James Remnant.
5031
5032
* Better help messages for many commands.
5033
5034
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5035
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5036
5037
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5038
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5039
5040
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5041
5042
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5043
5044
* New AtomicFile class.
5045
5046
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5047
5048
5049
PORTABILITY:
5050
5051
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5052
2.4 is now only recommended.

5054
5055
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5056
---------------------
5057
5058
ENHANCEMENTS:
5059
5060
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5061
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5062
5063
* More default ignore patterns.
5064
5065
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5066
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5067
5068
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5069
5070
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5071
by Jason Diamon.
5072
5073
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5074
5075
5076
CHANGES:
5077
5078
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5079
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5080
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5081
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5082
there are DNS problems.
5083
5084
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5085
5086
5087
BUG FIXES:
5088
5089
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5090
5091
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5092
5093
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5094
trailing newlines properly.
5095
5096
5097
INTERNAL:
5098
5099
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5100
Matt Brubeck.
5101
5102
* More tests in test.sh.
5103
5104
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5105
directory and delete it when done.
5106
5107
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5108
5109
5110
PORTABILITY:
5111
5112
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5113
Bennetts.
5114
5115
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5116
from QuantumG.

5118
5119
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5120
---------------------
5121
5122
ENHANCEMENTS:
5123
5124
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5125
in the tree.
5126
5127
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5128
5129
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5130
and/or directory.
5131
5132
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5133
directory.
5134
5135
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5136
