* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
15
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
16
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
17
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
18
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.

bzr 1.2rc1 (not released yet)
35
-----------------------------
36
37
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
38
39
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
40
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
41
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
42
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
43
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
44
(Andrew Bennetts)
45
46
CHANGES:
47
48
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
49
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
50
51
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
52
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
53
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
54
55
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
56
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
57
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
58
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
59
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
60
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
61
(Aaron Bentley)
62
63
FEATURES:
64
65
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
66
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
67
68
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
69
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
70
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
71
(Robert Collins)
72
73
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
74
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
75
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
76
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
77
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
78
79
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
80
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
81
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
82
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
83
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
84
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
85
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
86
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
87
88
IMPROVEMENTS:
89
90
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
91
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
92
93
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
94
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
95
96
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
97
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
98
99
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
100
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
101
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
102
103
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
104
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
105
(John Arbash Meinel)
106
107
BUGFIXES:
108
109
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
110
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
111
112
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
113
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
114
115
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
116
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
117
118
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
119
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
120
121
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
122
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
123
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
124
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
125
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
126
unittest runner.
127
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
128
129
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
130
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
131
#185907)
132
133
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
134
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
135
136
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
137
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
138
139
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
140
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
141
142
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
143
more characters which should be considered valid.
144
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
145
146
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
147
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
148
149
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
150
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
151
152
API BREAKS:
153
154
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
155
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
156
157
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
158
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
159
(Martin Pool)
160
161
TESTING:
162
163
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
164
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
165
(Vincent Ladeuil)
166
167
INTERNALS:
168
169
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
170
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
171
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
174
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
175
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
176
177
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
178
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
179
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
180
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
181
182
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
183
184
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
185
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
186
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
187
server. (Robert Collins)
188
189
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
190
operate. (Robert Collins)
191
192
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
193
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
194
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
195
196
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
197
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
198
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
199
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
200
201
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
202
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
203
204
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
205
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
206
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
207
208
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
209
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
210
211
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
212
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
213
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
214
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
215
216
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
217
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
218
219

bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
221
------------------
222
223
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
224
225
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
226
---------------------
227
228
CHANGES:
229
230
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
231
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
232
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
233
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
234
235
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
236
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
237
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
238
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
239
240
FEATURES:
241
242
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
243
(Lukáš Lalinský)
244
245
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
246
(Aaron Bentley)
247
248
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
249
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
250
251
IMPROVEMENTS:
252
253
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
254
#90049)
255
256
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
257
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
258
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
259
260
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
261
262
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
263
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
264
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
265
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
266
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
267
268
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
269
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
270
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
271
272
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
273
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
274
275
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
276
(Vincent Ladeuil)
277
278
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
279
280
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
281
282
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
283
(Aaron Bentley)
284
285
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
286
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
287
288
BUGFIXES:
289
290
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
291
(Martin Pool, #180208)
292
293
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
295
296
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
297
(Aaron Bentley)
298
299
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
300
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
301
302
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
303
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
304
305
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
306
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
307
308
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
309
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
310
311
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
312
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
313
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
314
315
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
317
318
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
319
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
320
(Aaron Bentley)
321
322
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
323
324
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
325
user:pass embedded in the urls.
326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
327
328
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
329
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
330
331
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
332
(Aaron Bentley)
333
334
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
335
#148087)
336
337
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
338
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
339
340
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
341
#137681)
342
343
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
344
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
345
(Aaron Bentley)
346
347
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
348
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
350
351
DOCUMENTATION:
352
353
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
354
(Ian Clatworthy)
355
356
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
357
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
358
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
359
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
360
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
361
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
362
363
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
364
365
INTERNALS:
366
367
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
368
(Aaron Bentley)
369
370
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
371
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
372
373
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
374
375
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
376
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
377
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
378
Robert Collins)
379
380
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
381
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
382
383
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
384
(Vincent Ladeuil)
385
386
API BREAKS:
387
388
TESTING:
389
390
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
391
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
392
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
393
394
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
395
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
396
(Robert Collins)
397
398
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
399
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
400
401
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
402
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
403
404
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
405
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
406
407
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
408
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
409
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
410
411
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
412
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
413
414
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
415
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
416
417
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
418
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
419
(Vincent Ladeuil)
420
421
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
422
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
423
424
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
425
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
426

bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
429
------------------
430
431
DOCUMENTATION:
432
433
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
434
435
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
436
(Ian Clatworthy)
437
438
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
439
440
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
441
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
442
(Ian Clatworthy)
443
444
445
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
446
---------------------
447
448
CHANGES:
449
450
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
451
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
452
by mail to the mailing list.
453
(Martin Pool)
454
455
BUGFIXES:
456
457
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
458
459
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
460
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
461
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
462
feedback but also incur more latency.

INTERNALS:
476
477
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

---------------------
485
486
IMPROVEMENTS:
487
488
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
489
490
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
491
(Aaron Bentley)
492
493
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
494
Nordhoff, #172612)
495
496
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
497
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
498
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
499
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
500
501
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
502
(Kent Gibson)
503
504
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
505
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
506
507
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
508
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
509
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
510
511
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
512
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
513
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
514
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
515
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
516
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
517
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
518
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
519
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
520
521
INTERNALS:
522
523
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
524
(Vincent Ladeuil)

526
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
527
528
BUGFIXES:

530
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
531
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
532
533
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
534
filename to user.
535
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
536
537
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
538
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
539
required.
540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
541
542
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
543
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
544
545
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
546
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
547
548
API BREAKS:
549
550
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
551
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
555
---------------------
556
557
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
558
559
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
560
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
561
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
562
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
563
564
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
565
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
566
567
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
568
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
569
570
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
571
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
572
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
573
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
574
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
575
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
576
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
577
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
578
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
579
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
580
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
581
from any tree without problems.
582
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
583
584
CHANGES:
585
586
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
587
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
588
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
589
590
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
591
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
592
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
593
(Martin Pool)
594
595
FEATURES:
596
597
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
598
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
599
supported transports.
600
(Vincent Ladeuil)
601
602
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
603
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
604
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
605
606
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
607
(Robert Collins, #154173)
608
609
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
610
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
611
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
612
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
613
614
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
615
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
616
617
PERFORMANCE:
618
619
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
620
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
621
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
622
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
623
624
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
625
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
626
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
627
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
628
629
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
630
(Robert Collins, #88319)
631
632
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
633
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
634
635
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
636
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
637
638
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
639
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
640
(Aaron Bentley)
641
642
IMPROVEMENTS:
643
644
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
645
(Aaron Bentley)
646
647
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
648
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
649
(Lukáš Lalinský)
650
651
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
652
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
653
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
654
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
655
656
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
657
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
658
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
659
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

666
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
667
668
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
669
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
670
671
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
672
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
673
674
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
675
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
676
677
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
678
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
679
680
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
681
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
682
683
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
684
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
685
686
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
687
(Aaron Bentley)
688
689
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
691
692
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
693
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
694
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
695
696
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
697
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
698
699
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
700
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
701
702
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
703
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
704
705
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
707
708
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
709
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
710
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
711
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
712
on them.
713
(Martin Pool, #164637)
714
715
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
716
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
718
719
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
720
(Robert Collins, #161240)
721
722
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
723
to be reconciled.
724
(Martin Pool, #164443)
725
726
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
727
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
728
729
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
730
specify a port in urls.
731
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
732
733
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
734
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
735
736
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
737
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
738
739
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
740
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
741
742
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
743
(Robert Collins, #153789)
744
745
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
746
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
747
(Robert Collins, #165304).
748
749
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
750
751
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
752
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
753
754

758
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
759
760
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
761
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
762
763
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
764
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
765
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
766
767
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
768
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
769
770
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
771
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
772
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
773
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
774
775
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
776
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
777
778
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
779
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
780
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
781
782
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
783
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
784
785
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
787
788
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
790
791
API BREAKS:
792
793
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
794
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
795
796
* The return value of
797
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
798
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
799
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
800
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
801
802
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
803
(Robert Collins)
804
805
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
806
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
807
format.
808
(Martin Pool)
809
810
INTERNALS:
811
812
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
813
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
814
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
815
Bennetts)
816
817
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
818
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
819
820
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

836
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
837
838
CHANGES:
839
840
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
841
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
842
843
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
844
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
845
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
846
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
847
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
848
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
849
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
850
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
851
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
852
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
853
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
854
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
855
(Robert Collins)
856
857
FEATURES:
858
859
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
860
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
861
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
862
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
863
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
864
for further details. (Robert Collins)
865
866
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
867
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
868
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
869
(Robert Collins)
870
871
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
872
873
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
874
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
875
876
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
877
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
878
(Aaron Bentley)
879
880
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
881
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
882
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
883
884
PERFORMANCE:
885
886
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
887
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
888
889
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
890
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
891
892
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
893
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
894
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
895
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
896
897
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
898
(Robert Collins)
899
900
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
901
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
902
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
903
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
904
905
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
906
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
907
908
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
909
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
910
911
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
912
the contents. (Robert Collins)
913
914
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
915
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
916
917
IMPROVEMENTS:
918
919
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
920
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
921
922
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
923
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
924
925
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
926
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
927
928
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
929
(Martin Pool, #63894)
930
931
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
932
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
933
934
DOCUMENTATION:
935
936
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
937
938
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
939
(Ian Clatworthy)
940
941
BUG FIXES:
942
943
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
944
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
945
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
946
947
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
948
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
949
950
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
951
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
952
953
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
954
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
955
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
956
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
957
958
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
959
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
960
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
961
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
962
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
963
964
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
965
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
966
paramiko.
967
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
968
969
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
970
971
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
972
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
973
974
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
976
977
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
979
980
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
981
contains a symbolic link.
982
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
983
984
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
985
(James Westby, #140615)
986
987
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
988
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
989
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
990
991
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
992
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
993
(Martin Pool, #144633)
994
995
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
996
997
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
998
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
999
1000
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1001
will remain opened.
1002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1003
1004
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1005
directory to detect leaking tests.
1006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1007
1008
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1009
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1010
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1011
1012
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1013
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1014
1015
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1016
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1017
1018
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1019
Merwe)
1020
1021
API BREAKS:
1022
1023
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1024
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1025
1026
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1027
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1028
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1029
1030
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1031
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1032
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1033
1034
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1035
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1036
1037
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1038
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1039
1040
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1041
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1042
(Martin Pool)
1043
1044
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1045
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1046
1047
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1048
class that needs it.
1049
(Martin Pool)
1050
1051
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1052
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1053
1054
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1055
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1056
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1057
1058
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1059
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1060
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1061
(Robert Collins)
1062
1063
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1064
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1065
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1066
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1067
(Robert Collins)
1068
1069
INTERNALS:
1070
1071
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1072
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1073
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1074
1075
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1076
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1077
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1078
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1079
1080
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1081
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1082
(Robert Collins)
1083
1084
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1085
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1086
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1087
1088
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1089
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1090
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1091
1092
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1093
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1094
1095
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1096
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1097
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1098
1099
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1100
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1101
1102
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1103
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1104
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1105
1106
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1107
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1108
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1109
1110
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1111
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1112
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1113
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1114
1115
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1116
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1117
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1118
returned. (Robert Collins)
1119
1120
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1121
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1122
1123
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1124
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1125
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1126
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1127
(Robert Collins)
1128
1129
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1130
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1131
1132
TESTING:
1133
1134
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1135
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1136
1137
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1138
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1139
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1140
makes this behavior available to other users.
1141
(Martin Pool)
1142
1143
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1144
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1145
1146
1147
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1148
-------------------
1149
1150
BUG FIXES:
1151
1152
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1153
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1154
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1155
1156
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1157
1158
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1159
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1160
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1161
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1162
1163
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1164
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1165
(Andrew Bennetts)
1166
1167
1168
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1169
----------------------
1170
1171
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1172
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1173
1174
1175
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1176
----------------------
1177
1178
CHANGES:
1179
1180
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1181
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1182
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1183
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1184
(Martin Pool)
1185
1186
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1187
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1188
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1189
(Ian Clatworthy)
1190
1191
FEATURES:
1192
1193
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1194
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1195
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1196
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1197
1198
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1199
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1200
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1201
1202
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1203
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1204
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1205
1206
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1207
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1208
1209
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1210
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1211
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1212
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1213
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1214
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1215
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1216
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1217
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1218
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1219
1220
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1221
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1222
1223
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1224
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1225
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1226
1227
BUG FIXES:
1228
1229
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1230
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1231
1232
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1233
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1234
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1235
1236
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1237
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1238
1239
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1240
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1241
1242
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1243
(Aaron Bentley)
1244
1245
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1246
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1247
1248
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1249
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1250
1251
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1252
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1253
1254
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1255
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1256
1257
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1258
1259
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1260
Watkins, #106726)
1261
1262
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1263
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1264
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1265
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1266
1267
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1268
1269
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1270
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1271
#133548)
1272
1273
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1274
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1275
1276
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1277
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1278
#116143)
1279
1280
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1281
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1282
1283
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1284
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1285
1286
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1287
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1288
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1289
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1290
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1291
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1292
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1293
1294
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1295
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1296
1297
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1298
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1299
1300
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1301
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1302
1303
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1305
1306
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1307
connections.
1308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1309
1310
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1311
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1312
1313
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1314
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1315
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1316
1317
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1318
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1319
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1320
1321
IMPROVEMENTS:
1322
1323
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1324
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1325
1326
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1327
(Aaron Bentley)
1328
1329
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1330
(Aaron Bentley)
1331
1332
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1333
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1334
1335
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1336
1337
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1338
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1339
1340
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1341
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1342
1343
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1344
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1345
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1346
space). (Robert Collins)
1347
1348
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1349
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1350
(Ian Clatworthy)
1351
1352
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1353
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1354
1355
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1356
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1357
1358
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1359
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1360
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1361
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1362
1363
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1364
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1365
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1366
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1367
1368
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1369
(Ian Clatworthy)
1370
1371
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1372
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1373
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1374
1375
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1376
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1377
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1378
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1379
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1380
1381
API BREAKS:
1382
1383
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1384
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1385
1386
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1387
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1388
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1389
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1390
affected. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1393
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1394
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1395
(Robert Collins)
1396
1397
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1398
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1399
1400
TESTING:
1401
1402
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1403
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1404
1405
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1406
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1407
1408
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1409
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1410
1411
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1412
(Aaron Bentley)
1413
1414
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1415
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1416
1417
INTERNALS:
1418
1419
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1420
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1421
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1422
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1423
1424
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1425
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1426
1427
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1428
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1429
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1430
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1431
1432
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1433
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1434
present. (Robert Collins)
1435
1436
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1437
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1438
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1439
API. (Robert Collins)
1440
1441
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1442
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1443
(Robert Collins)
1444
1445
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1446
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1449
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1450
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1451
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1452
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1453
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1454
1455
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1456
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1457
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1458
1459
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1460
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1461
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1462
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1463
protocol.
1464
1465
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1466
(Aaron Bentley)
1467
1468
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1469
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1470
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1471
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1472
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1473
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1474
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1475
1476
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1477
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1478
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1479
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1480
1481
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1482
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1483
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1484
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1485
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1486
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1487
1488
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1489
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1490
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1491
1492
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1493
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1498
1499
IMPROVEMENTS:
1500
1501
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1502
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1503
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1504
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1505
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1506
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1507
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1510
1511
API CHANGES:
1512
1513
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1514
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1515
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1516
1517
1518
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1519
----------------------
1520
1521
BUGFIXES:
1522
1523
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1524
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1525
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1526
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1527
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1528
1529
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1530
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1531
1532
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1533
anymore.
1534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1535
1536
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1537
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1538
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1539
1540
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1541
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1542
#111664)
1543
1544
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1545
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1546
1547
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1548
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1549
1550
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1551
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1552
1553
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1554
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1555
1556
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1557
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1558
1559
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1560
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1561
1562
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1563
(Aaron Bentley)
1564
1565
IMPROVEMENTS:
1566
1567
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1568
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1569
1570
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1571
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1572
1573
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1574
the repository (Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1577
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1578
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1579
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1580
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1581
1582
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1583
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1584
1585
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1586
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1587
(John Arbash Meinel)
1588
1589
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1590
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1591
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1592
about 10%).
1593
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1594
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1595
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1596
(John Arbash Meinel)
1597
1598
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1599
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1600
(Robert Collins)
1601
1602
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1603
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1604
1605
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1606
(Ian Clatworthy)
1607
1608
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1609
1610
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1611
1612
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1613
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1614
1615
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1616
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1617
Meinel)
1618
1619
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1620
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1621
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1622
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1623
1624
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1625
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1626
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1627
1628
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1629
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1630
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1631
1632
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1633
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1634
1635
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1636
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1637
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1638
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1639
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1640
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1641
(Ian Clatworthy)
1642
1643
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1644
(Alexander Belchenko)
1645
1646
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1647
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1648
1649
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1650
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1651
1652
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1653
1654
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1655
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1656
1657
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1658
1659
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1660
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1661
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1662
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1663
1664
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1665
1666
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1667
(Robert Collins)
1668
1669
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1670
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1671
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1672
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1673
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1674
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1675
1676
INTERNALS:
1677
1678
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1679
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1680
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1681
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1682
1683
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1684
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1685
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1686
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1687
tests have been refactored too.
1688
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1689
1690
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1691
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1692
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1693
list, it will.
1694
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1695
1696
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1697
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1698
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1699
1700
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1701
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1702
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1703
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1704
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1705
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1706
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1707
1708
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1709
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1710
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1711
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1712
(John Arbash Meinel)
1713
1714
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1715
functionality for testing.
1716
1717
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1718
1719
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1720
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1721
1722
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1723
1724
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1725
(Robert Collins)
1726
1727
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1728
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1729
1730
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1731
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1732
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1733
1734
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1735
(Aaron Bentley)
1736
1737
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1738
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1739
1740
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1741
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1742
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1743
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1744
1745
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1746
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1747
1748
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1749
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1750
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1751
1752
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1753
(Marius Kruger)
1754
1755
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1756
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1757
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1758
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1759
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1760
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1761
1762
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1763
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1764
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1765
many files. (Robert Collins)
1766
1767
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1768
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1769
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1770
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1771
1772
TESTING:
1773
1774
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1775
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1776
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1777
1778
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1779
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1780
1781
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1782
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1783
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1798
1799
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1800
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1801
1802
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1803
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1804
(James Westby, #122656)
1805
1806
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1807
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1808
1809
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1810
authentication header.
1811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1812
1813
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1814
1815
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1816
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1817
1818
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1819
1820
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1822
1823
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1824
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1826
1827
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1828
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1829
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1830
1831
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1832
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1833
1834
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1836
1837
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1838
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1839
1840
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1841
1842
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1843
1844
IMPROVEMENTS:
1845
1846
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1847
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1848
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1849
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1850
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1851
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1852
1853
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1854
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1855
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1856
1857
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1858
(Elliot Murphy)
1859
1860
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1861
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1862
1863
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1864
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1865
1866
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1867
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1868
1869
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1870
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1871
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1872
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1873
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1874
1875
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1876
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1877
1878
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1879
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1880
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1881
1882
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1883
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1884
1885
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1886
1887
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1888
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1889
1890
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1891
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1892
(Robert Collins)
1893
1894
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1895
(Martin Pool)
1896
1897
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1898
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1899
1900
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1901
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1902
1903
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1904
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1905
1906
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1907
1908
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1909
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1910
1911
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1912
(Andrew Bennetts)

1914
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1915
1916
* Testing cleanups -
1917
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1918
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1919
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1920
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1921
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1922
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1923
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1924
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1925
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1926
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1927
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1928
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1929
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1930
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1931
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1932
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1933
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1934
(Robert Collins)
1935
1936
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1937
1938
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1939
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1940
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1941
1942
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1943
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1944
1945
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1946
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1947
1948
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1949
1950
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1951
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1952
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1953
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1954
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1955
same location. (Robert Collins)
1956
1957
INTERNALS:
1958
1959
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1960
1961
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1962
1963
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1964
1965
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1966
(Martin Pool)
1967
1968
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1969
(Martin Pool)
1970
1971
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1972
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1973
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1974
1975
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1976
1977
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1978
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1979
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1980
1981
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1982
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1983
1984
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1985
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1986
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1987
1988
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1989
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1990
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1991
1992
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1993
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1994
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1995
1996
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1997
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1998
Martin Pool)
1999
2000
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2001
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2002
2003
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2004
(Alexander Belchenko)
2005
2006
TESTING:
2007
2008
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2009
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2010
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2011
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2012
2013
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2014
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2015
testing. (Robert Collins)
2016
2017
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2018
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2019
2020
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2021
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2022
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2023
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2024
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2025
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2026
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2027
2028
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2029
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2030
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2031
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2032
2033
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2034
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2035
2036
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2037
avoid useless cloning.

2056
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2057
2058
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2059
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2060
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2061
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2062
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2063
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2064
and unlock() like so::
2065
2066
work_tree.lock_read()
2067
try:
2068
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2069
finally:
2070
work_tree.unlock()
2071
2072
INTERNALS:
2073
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2074
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2075
object.
2076
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2077
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2078
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2079
2080
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2081
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2082
too. (Robert Collins)
2083
2084
IMPROVEMENTS:
2085
2086
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2087
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2088
Aaron Bentley)
2089
2090
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2091
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2092
2093
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2094
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2095
2096
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2097
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2098
understanding what changes have occurred
2099
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2100
2101
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2102
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2103
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2104
2105
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2106
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2107
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2108
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2109
2110
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2111
#56322)
2112
2113
BUGFIXES:
2114
2115
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2116
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2117
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2118
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2119
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2120
2121
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2122
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2123
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2124
2125
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2127
2128
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2129
into account.
2130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2131
2132
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2133
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2134
2135
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2136
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2137
2138
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2139
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2140
2141
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2142
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2143
2144
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2145
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2146
2147
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2148
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2149
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2150
2151
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2152
--------------------
2153
2154
BUGFIXES:
2155
2156
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2157
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2158
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2159
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2160
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2161
2162
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2163
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2164
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2165
2166
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2167
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2168
2169
IMPROVEMENTS:
2170
2171
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2172
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2173
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2174
2175
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2176
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2177
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2178
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2180
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2181
-----------------------
2182
2183
BUGFIXES:
2184
2185
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2186
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2187
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2188
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2189
2190
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2191
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2192
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2193
2194
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2195
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2196
2197
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2198
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2199
2200
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2201
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2203
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2204
-----------------------
2205
2206
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2207
2208
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2209
it could be recovered again.
2210
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2211
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2212
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2213
but not delete it.
2214
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2215
files.
2216
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2217
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2218
2219
IMPROVEMENTS:
2220
2221
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2222
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2223
2224
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2225
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2226
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2227
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2228
2229
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2230
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2231
2232
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2233
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2234
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2235
2236
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2237
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2238
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2239
2240
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2241
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2242
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2243
2244
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2245
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2246
Robert Collins)
2247
2248
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2249
Pool)
2250
2251
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2252
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2253
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2254
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2255
2256
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2257
(Robert Collins)
2258
2259
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2260
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2261
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2262
(Robert Collins)
2263
2264
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2265
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2266
2267
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2268
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2269
2270
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2271
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2272
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2273
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2274
(Robert Collins)
2275
2276
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2277
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2278
2279
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2280
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2281
2282
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2283
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2284
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2285
2286
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2287
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2288
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2289
2290
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2291
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2292
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2295
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2296
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2297
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2298
2299
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2300
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2301
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2302
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2303
2304
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2305
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2306
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2307
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2308
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2309
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2310
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2311
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2312
header(s).
2313
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2314
2315
INTERNALS:
2316
2317
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2318
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2319
2320
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2321
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2322
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2323
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2324
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2325
2326
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2327
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2328
2329
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2330
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2331
2332
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2333
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2334
2335
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2336
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2337
2338
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2339
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2340
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2341
(Robert Collins).
2342
2343
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2344
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2345
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2346
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2347
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2348
(Robert Collins)
2349
2350
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2351
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2352
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2353
2354
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2355
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2356
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2357
2358
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2359
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2360
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2361
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2362
2363
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2364
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2365
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2366
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2367
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2368
2369
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2370
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2371
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2372
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2373
2374
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2375
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2376
2377
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2378
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2379
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2380
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2381
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2382
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2383
2384
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2385
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2386
2387
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2388
help. (Robert Collins)
2389
2390
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2391
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2392
2393
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2394
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2395
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2396
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2397
(John Arbash Meinel)
2398
2399
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2400
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2401
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2402
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2403
useful. (Robert Collins)
2404
2405
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2406
(Andrew Bennetts)
2407
2408
BUGFIXES:
2409
2410
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2411
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2412
2413
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2414
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2415
2416
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2417
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2418
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2419
2420
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2421
(Aaron Bentley)
2422
2423
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2424
the file, and does it faster.
2425
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2426
2427
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2428
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2429
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2430
2431
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2432
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2433
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2434
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2435
2436
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2437
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2438
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2439
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2440
2441
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2442
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2443
2444
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2445
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2446
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2447
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2448
Arbash Meinel)
2449
2450
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2451
2452
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2453
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2454
2455
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2456
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2457
2458
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2459
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2460
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2461
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2462
security hole.
2463
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2464
2465
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2466
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2467
2468
TESTING:
2469
2470
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2471
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2472
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2473
2474
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2475
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2476
2477
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2478
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2479
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2480
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2481
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2482
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2483
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2484
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2485
2486
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2487
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2488
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2489
2490
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2491
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2492
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2493
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2494
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2495
access.
2496
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2497
2498
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2499
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2500
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2501
2502
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2503
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2521
CHANGES:
2522
2523
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2524
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2525
(Martin Pool)
2526
2527
IMPROVEMENTS:
2528
2529
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2530
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2531
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2532
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2533
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2534
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2535
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2536
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2537
path. (vila)
2538
2539
INTERNALS:
2540
2541
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2542
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2543
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2544
2545
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2546
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2547
(Martin Pool)
2548
2549
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2550
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2551
(John Arbash Meinel)
2552
2553
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2554
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2555
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2556
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2557
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2558
2559
BUGFIXES:
2560
2561
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2562
(vila, #92195)
2563
2564
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2565
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2566
2567
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2568
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2569
2570
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2571
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2572
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2573
2574
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2575
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2576
2577
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2578
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2579
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2580
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2581
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2582
2583
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2584
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2585
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2586
2587
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2591
-----------------------
2592
2593
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2594
2595
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2596
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2597
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2598
2599
IMPROVEMENTS:
2600
2601
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2602
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2603
2604
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2605
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2606
2607
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2608
2609
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2610
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2611
2612
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2613
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2614
2615
INTERNALS:
2616
2617
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2618
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2619
2620
BUGFIXES:
2621
2622
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2623
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2624
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2625
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2626
2627
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2628
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2629
2630
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2631
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2632
2633
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2634
(Marien Zwart)
2635
2636
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2637
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2640
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2641
-----------------------
2642
2643
SURPRISES:
2644
2645
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2646
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2647
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2648
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2649
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2650
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2651
2652
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2653
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2654
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2655
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2656
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2657
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2658
development.
2659
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2660
2661
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2662
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2663
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2664
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2665
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2666
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2667
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2668
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2669
2670
IMPROVEMENTS:
2671
2672
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2673
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2674
2675
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2676
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2677
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2678
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2679
does exist.
2680
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2681
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2682
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2683
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2684
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2685
2686
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2687
(Aaron Bentley)
2688
2689
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2690
(Aaron Bentley)
2691
2692
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2693
(Robert Collins)
2694
2695
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2696
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2697
(Aaron Bentley)
2698
2699
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2700
(Aaron Bentley)
2701
2702
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2703
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2704
2705
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2706
directory. (Martin Pool)
2707
2708
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2709
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2710
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2711
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2712
2713
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2714
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2715
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2716
in docs/configuration.txt.
2717
2718
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2719
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2720
bind location.
2721
2722
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2723
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2724
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2725
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2726
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2727
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2728
2729
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2730
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2731
2732
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2733
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2734
2735
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2736
(Aaron Bentley)
2737
2738
INTERNALS:
2739
2740
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2741
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2742
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2743
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2744
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2745
(John Arbash Meinel)
2746
2747
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2748
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2749
(Aaron Bentley)
2750
2751
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2752
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2753
(John Arbash Meinel)
2754
2755
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2756
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2757
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2758
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2759
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2760
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2761
2762
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2763
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2764
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2765
2766
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2767
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2768
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2769
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2770
repository.
2771
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2772
2773
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2774
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2775
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2776
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2777
2778
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2779
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2780
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2781
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2782
2783
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2784
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2785
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2786
2787
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2788
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2789
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2790
2791
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2792
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2793
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2794
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2795
2796
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2797
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2798
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2799
2800
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2801
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2802
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2803
2804
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2805
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2806
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2807
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2808
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2809
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2810
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2811
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2812
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

2814
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2815
2816
BUGFIXES:
2817
2818
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2819
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2820
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2821
2822
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2823
(Aaron Bentley)
2824
2825
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2826
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2827
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2828
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2829
2830
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2831
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2832
#83954).
2833
2834
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2835
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2836
2837
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2838
2839
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2840
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2841
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2842
2843
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2844
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2845
2846
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2847
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2848
2849
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2851
2852
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2853
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2854
2855
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2856
2857
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2858
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2859
2860
TESTING:
2861
2862
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2863
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
2868
2869
IMPROVEMENTS:
2870
2871
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2872
2873
BUG FIXES:
2874
2875
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2876
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2877
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2878
2879
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2880
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2881
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2883
2884
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2885
-----------------------
2886
2887
IMPROVEMENTS:
2888
2889
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2890
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2891
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2892
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2893
2894
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2895
(Marius Kruger)
2896
2897
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2898
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2899
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2900
2901
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2902
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2903
2904
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2905
(Aaron Bentley)
2906
2907
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2908
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2909
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2910
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2911
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2912
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2913
2914
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2915
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2916
should enable you to do::
2917
2918
[/home/user/project]
2919
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2920
push_location:policy = appendpath
2921
2922
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2923
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2924
(James Henstridge)
2925
2926
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2927
for each file. For example::
2928
2929
$ bzr status --short
2930
A foo
2931
A bar
2932
D baz
2933
? wooley
2934
2935
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2936
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2937
2938
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2939
2940
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2941
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2942
2943
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2944
2945
INTERNALS:
2946
2947
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2948
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2949
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2950
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2951
2952
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2953
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2954
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2955
2956
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2957
2958
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2959
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2960
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2961
(Alexander Belchenko)
2962
2963
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2964
Pool)
2965
2966
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2967
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2968
2969
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2970
2971
BUG FIXES:
2972
2973
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2974
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2975
2976
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2977
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2978
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2979
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2980
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2981
2982
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2983
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2984
2985
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2986
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2987
2988
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2989
matcher.
2990
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2991
2992
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2993
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2994
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2995
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2996
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2997
2998
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2999
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3000
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3001
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3002
3003
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3004
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3005
3006
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3007
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3008
3009
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3010
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3011
3012
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3025
3026
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3027
tree from a branch.
3028
(Daniel Silverstone)
3029
3030
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3031
operations are substantially faster.
3032
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3033
3034
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3035
tree from some other url. For example:
3036
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3037
(Daniel Silverstone)
3038
3039
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3040
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3041
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3042
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3043
3044
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3045
(Andrew Bennetts)
3046
3047
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3048
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3049
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3050
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3051
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3052
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3053
3054
INTERNALS:
3055
3056
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3057
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3058
(Martin Pool)
3059
3060
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3061
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3062
(John Arbash Meinel)
3063
3064
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3065
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3066
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3067
(John Arbash Meinel)
3068
3069
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3070
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3071
3072
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3073
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3074
3075
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3076
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3077
Bennetts)
3078
3079
BUG FIXES:
3080
3081
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3082
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3083
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3084
3085
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3086
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3087
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3088
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3089
3090
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3091
3092
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3093
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3094
3095
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3096
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3097
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3099
3100
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3101
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3102
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3103
3104
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3105
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3106
them as full references rather than integers.
3107
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3108
3109
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3110
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3111
3112
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3113
3114
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3115
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3116
3117
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3118
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3119
3120
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3121
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3122
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3123
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3124
3125
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3126
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3127
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3128
3129
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3130
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3131
3132
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3133
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3134
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3135
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3136
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3137
3138
TESTING:
3139
3140
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3141
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3144
--------------------
3145
3146
INTERNALS:
3147
3148
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

(John Arbash Meinel)
3151
3152
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3153
-----------------------
3154
3155
IMPROVEMENTS:
3156
3157
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3158
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3159
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3160
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3161
3162
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3163
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3164
3165
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3166
3167
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3168
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3169
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3170
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3171
3172
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3173
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3174
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3175
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3176
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3177
3178
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3179
3180
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3181
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3182
3183
INTERNALS:
3184
3185
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3186
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3187
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3188
3189
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3190
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3191
(John Arbash Meinel)
3192
3193
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3194
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3195
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3196
3197
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3198
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3199
(Aaron Bentley)
3200
3201
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3202
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3203
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3204
3205
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3206
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3207
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3208
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3209
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3210
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3211
3212
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3213
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3214
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3215
(Robert Collins)
3216
3217
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3218
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3219
3220
BUG FIXES:
3221
3222
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3223
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3224
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3225
#63360, #66349)
3226
3227
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3228
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3229
3230
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3231
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3232
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3233
3234
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3235
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3236
3237
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3238
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3239
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3240
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3241
3242
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3243
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3244
3245
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3246
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3247
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3248
3249
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3250
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3251
3252
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3253
3254
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3255
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3256
#32054)
3257
3258
TESTING:
3259
3260
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3261
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3262
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3263
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3264
3265
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3266
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3267
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3268
3269
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

--------------------
3271
3272
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

3274
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3275
-----------------------
3276
3277
BUG FIXES:
3278
3279
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3280
3281
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3282
Arbash Meinel).
3283
3284
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3285
-----------------------
3286
3287
IMPROVEMENTS:
3288
3289
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3290
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3291
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3292
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3293
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3294
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3295
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3296
3297
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3298
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3299
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3300
3301
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3304
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3305
3306
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3307
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3308
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3309
(Robert Collins)
3310
3311
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3312
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3313
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3314
(John Arbash Meinel)
3315
3316
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3317
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3318
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3319
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3320
Pool)
3321
3322
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3323
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3324
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3325
(John Arbash Meinel)
3326
3327
BUG FIXES:
3328
3329
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3330
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3331
3332
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3333
3334
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3335
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3336
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3337
3338
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3339
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3340
3341
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3342
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3343
3344
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3346
3347
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3348
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3349
3350
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3351
3352
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3353
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3354
3355
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3356
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3357
3358
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3359
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3360
3361
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3362
(John Arbash Meinel)
3363
3364
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3365
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3366
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3367
3368
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3369
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3370
3371
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3372
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3373
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3374
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3375
3376
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3377
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3378
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3379
3380
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3381
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3382
3383
PORTABILITY:
3384
3385
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3386
3387
INTERNALS:
3388
3389
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3390
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3391
(John Arbash Meinel)
3392
3393
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3394
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3395
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3396
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3397
3398
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3399
(Andrew Bennetts)
3400
3401
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3402
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3403
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3404
3405
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3406
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3407
3408
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3409
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3410
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3411
3412
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3413
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3414
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3415
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3416
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3417
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3418
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3419
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3420
caller to repeat their request.
3421
(John Arbash Meinel)
3422
3423
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3424
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3425
3426
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3427
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3428
3429
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3430
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3431
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3432
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3433
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3434
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3435
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3436
3437
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3438
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3439
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3440
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3441
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3442
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3443
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3444
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3445
(Robert Collins)
3446
3447
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3448
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3449
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3450
3451
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3452
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3453
3454
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3455
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3456
3457
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3458
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3459
3460
TESTING:
3461
3462
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3463
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3464
3465
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3466
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3467
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3468
3469
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3470
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3471
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3472
3473
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3474
--------------------
3475
3476
IMPROVEMENTS:
3477
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3478
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3479
3480
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3481
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3482
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3483
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3484
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3485
3486
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3487
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3488
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3489
3490
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3491
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3492
3493
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3494
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3495
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3496
3497
BUG FIXES:
3498
3499
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3500
3501
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3502
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3503
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3504
3505
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3506
3507
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3508
3509
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3510
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3511
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3512
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3513
3514
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3515
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3516
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3517
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3518
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3519
3520
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3521
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3522
3523
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3524
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3525
3526
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3527
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3528
3529
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3530
in handling of revision properties.
3531
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3532
3533
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3534
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3535
3536
INTERNALS:
3537
3538
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3539
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3540
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3541
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3542
(John Arbash Meinel)
3543
3544
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3545
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3546
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3547
3548
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3549
---------------------
3550
3551
SURPRISES:
3552
3553
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3554
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3555
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3556
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3557
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3558
a more conservative list than the old default.
3559
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3560
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3561
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3562
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3563
3564
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3565
to more locations than just branch locations.
3566
(Aaron Bentley)
3567
3568
IMPROVEMENTS:
3569
3570
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3571
revno:N:branch. For example,
3572
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3573
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3574
3575
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3576
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3577
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3578
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3579
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3580
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3581
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3582
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3583
#42517, #42514)
3584
3585
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3586
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3587
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3588
(Malone #3507)
3589
3590
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3591
(Alexander Belchenko)
3592
3593
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3594
3595
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3596
(Robert Collins).
3597
3598
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3599
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3600
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3601
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3602
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3603
(John Arbash Meinel)
3604
3605
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3606
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3607
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3608
grained analysis of performance.
3609
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3610
3611
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3612
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3613
3614
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3615
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3616
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3617
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3618
file. (Robert Collins).
3619
3620
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3621
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3622
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3623
3624
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3625
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3626
Matthieu Moy)
3627
3628
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3629
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3630
3631
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3632
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3633
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3634
the same way you would apply another branch.
3635
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3636
3637
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3638
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3639
3640
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3641
(Michael Ellerman)
3642
3643
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3644
(Aaron Bentley)
3645
3646
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3647
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3648
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3649
3650
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3651
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3652
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3653
3654
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3655
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3656
3657
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3658
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3659
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3660
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3661
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3662
3663
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3664
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3665
3666
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3667
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3668
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3669
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3670
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3671
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3672
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3673
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3674
3675
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3676
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3677
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3678
3679
BUG FIXES:
3680
3681
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3682
tests not to run.
3683
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3684
3685
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3686
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3687
3688
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3689
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3690
3691
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3692
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3693
3694
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3695
3696
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3697
(John Arbash Meinel)
3698
3699
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3700
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3701
3702
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3703
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3704
and y.
3705
3706
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3707
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3708
3709
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3710
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3711
3712
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3713
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3714
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3715
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3716
3717
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3718
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3719
3720
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3721
3722
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3723
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3724
3725
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3726
3727
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3728
3729
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3730
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3731
3732
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3733
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3734
3735
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3736
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3737
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3738
3739
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3740
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3741
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3742
3743
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3744
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3745
3746
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3747
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3748
3749
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3750
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3751
3752
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3753
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3754
3755
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3756
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3757
3758
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3759
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3760
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3761
3762
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3763
3764
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3765
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3766
3767
INTERNALS:
3768
3769
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3770
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3771
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3772
3773
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3774
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3775
3776
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3777
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3778
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3779
3780
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3781
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3782
3783
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3784
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3785
(Martin Pool)
3786
3787
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3788
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3789
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3790
3791
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3792
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3793
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3794
3795
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3796
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3797
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3798
3799
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3800
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3801
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3802
3803
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3804
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3805
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3806
3807
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3808
instead. (Robert Collins)
3809
3810
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3825
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3826
3827
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3828
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3829
3830
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3831
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3832
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)

3842
3843
CHANGES:
3844
3845
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3846
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3847
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3848
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3849
3850
NEW FEATURES:
3851
3852
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3853
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3854
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3855

INTERNALS:
3857
3858

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3861
3862
TESTING:

3867
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3868
-------------------
3869
3870
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3871
3872
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3873
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3874
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3875
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3876
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3877
will keep the same format.
3878
3879
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3880
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3881
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3882
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3883
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3884
3885
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3886
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3887
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3888
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3889
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3890
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3891
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3892
3893
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3894
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3895
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3896
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3897
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3898
3899
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3900
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3901
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3902
arrangement.
3903
3904
3905
IMPROVEMENTS:
3906
3907
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3908
convention. Paths now take the form::
3909
3910
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3911
or
3912
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3913
3914
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3915
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3916
3917
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3918
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3919
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3920
3921
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3922
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3923
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3924
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3925
3926
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3927
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3928
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3929
3930
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3931
3932
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3933
3934
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3935
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3936
commits::
3937
3938
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3939
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3940
| xargs bzr re-sign
3941
3942
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3943
3944
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3945
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3946
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3947
(Robert Collins)
3948
3949
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3950
3951
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3952
3953
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3954
'.moved'.
3955
3956
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3957
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3958
3959
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3960
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3961
Daniel Silverstone)
3962
3963
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3964
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3965
Martin Pool)
3966
3967
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3968
3969
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3970
3971
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3972
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3973
3974
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3975
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3976
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3977
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3978
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3979
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3980
3981
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3982
3983
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3984
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3985
(Robert Collins)
3986
3987
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3988
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3989
3990
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3991
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3992
3993
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3994
3995
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3996
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3997
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3998
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3999
specification by Martin Pool.
4000
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4001
4002
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4003
Belchenko)
4004
4005
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4006
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4007
4008
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4009
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4010
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4011
4012
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4013
4014
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4015
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4016
(Robert Collins)
4017
4018
CHANGES:
4019
4020
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4021
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4022
4023
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4024
4025
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4026
4027
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4028
(Olaf Conradi)
4029
4030
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4031
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4032
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4033
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4034
4035
INTERNALS:
4036
4037
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4038
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4039
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4040
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4041
4042
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4043
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4044
tried. (Martin Pool)
4045
4046
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4047
(Martin Pool)
4048
4049
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4050
4051
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4052
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4053
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4054
4055
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4056
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4057
4058
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4059
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4060
paths. (Robert Collins)
4061
4062
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4063
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4064
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4065
4066
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4067
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4068
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4069
4070
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4071
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4072
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4073
4074
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4075
(Olaf Conradi)
4076
4077
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4078
(Olaf Conradi)
4079
4080
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4081
4082
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4083
4084
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4085
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4086
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4087
(Robert Collins)
4088
4089
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4090
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4091
4092
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4093
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4094
check. (Robert Collins)
4095
4096
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4097
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4098
4099
TESTING:
4100
4101
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4102
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4103
4104
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4105
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4106
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4107
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4108
4109
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4110
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4111
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4112
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4113
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4114
4115
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4116
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4117
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4118
4119
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4120
4121
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4122
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4125
------------------
4126
4127
CHANGES:
4128
4129
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4130
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4131
4132
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4133
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4134
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4135
(Johan Rydberg)
4136
4137
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4138
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4139
4140
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4141
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4142
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4143
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4144
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4145
4146
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4147
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4148
used. (Robert Collins)
4149
4150
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4151
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4152
(James Henstridge)
4153
4154
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4155
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4156
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4157
4158
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4159
ignore list.
4160
4161
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4162
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4163
4164
IMPROVEMENTS:
4165
4166
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4167
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4168
4169
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4170
4171
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4172
4173
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4174
tree. (Robert Collins)
4175
4176
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4177
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4178
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4179
(Robert Collins)
4180
4181
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4182
that they be kept.
4183
4184
* Tweaks to short log printing
4185
4186
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4187
(Aaron Bentley)
4188
4189
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4190
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4191
4192
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4193
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4194
4195
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4196
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4197
4198
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4199
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4200
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4201
4202
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4203
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4204
4205
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4206
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4207
requests.
4208
4209
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4210
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4211
4212
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4213
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4214
4215
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4216
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4217
4218
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4219
(Denys Duchier)
4220
4221
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4222
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4223
4224
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4225
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4226
4227
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4228
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4229
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4230
4231
BUG FIXES:
4232
4233
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4234
4235
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4236
4237
* Error when run with -OO
4238
4239
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4240
(Martin Pool)
4241
4242
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4243
4244
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4245
4246
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4247
ignored by diff and status
4248
4249
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4250
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4251
4252
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4253
4254
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4255
4256
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4257
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4258
4259
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4260
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4261
4262
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4263
(Harald Meland)
4264
4265
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4266
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4267
4268
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4269
4270
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4271
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4272
4273
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4274
(Martin Pool)
4275
4276
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4277
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4278
4279
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4280
4281
TESTING:
4282
4283
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4284
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4285
4286
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4287
4288
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4289
4290
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4291
4292
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4293
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4294
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4295
4296
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4297
4298
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4299
(John Arbash Meinel)
4300
4301
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4302
4303
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4304
If adding a new test script please add that to
4305
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4306
4307
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4308
imported. (Martin Pool)
4309
4310
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4311
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4312
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4313
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4314
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4315
(Robert Collins)
4316
4317
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4318
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4319
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4320
4321
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4322
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4323
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4324
4325
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4326
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4327
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4328
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4329
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4330
(Robert Collins).
4331
4332
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4333
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4334
(Robert Collins).
4335
4336
INTERNALS:
4337
4338
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4339
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4340
4341
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4342
function. (Robert Collins)
4343
4344
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4345
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4346
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4347
4348
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4349
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4350
(Robert Collins)
4351
4352
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4353
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4354
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4355
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4356
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4357
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4358
version. (Robert Collins)
4359
4360
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4361
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4362
4363
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4364
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4365
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4366
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4367
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4368
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4369
4370
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4371
(Robert Collins)
4372
4373
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4374
4375
add()
4376
commit()
4377
move()
4378
rename_one()
4379
unknowns()
4380
4381
(Robert Collins)
4382
4383
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4384
4385
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4386
4387
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4388
Pool)
4389
4390
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4391
query method. (Robert Collins)
4392
4393
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4394
(Denys Duchier)
4395
4396
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4397
(Michael Ellerman)
4398
4399
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4400
(Michael Ellerman)
4401
4402
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4403
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4404
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4405
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4406
4407
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4408
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4409
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4410
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4411
4412
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4413
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4414
4415
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4416
------------------
4417
4418
IMPROVEMENTS:
4419
4420
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4421
(John A Meinel)
4422
4423
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4424
conflicts.
4425
(Aaron Bentley)
4426
4427
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4428
a separator, not ':'.
4429
(Aaron Bentley)
4430
4431
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4432
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4433
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4434
4435
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4436
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4437
(Robert Collins)
4438
4439
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4440
has been added that suppresses all output.
4441
4442
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4443
Adams.
4444
4445
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4446
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4447
4448
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4449
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4450
4451
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4452
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4455
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4456
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4457
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4458
4459
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4460
4461
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4462
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4463
4464
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4465
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4466
4467
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4468
output directory, if one was supplied.
4469
4470
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4471
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4472
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4473
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4474
4475
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4476
4477
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4478
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4479
4480
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4481
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4482
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4483
4484
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4485
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4486
4487
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4488
(Aaron Bentley)
4489
4490
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4491
4492
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4493
4494
TESTING:
4495
4496
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4497
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4498
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4499
4500
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4501
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4502
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4503
4504
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4505
is given. (Martin Pool)
4506
4507
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4508
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4509
file. (Robert Collins)
4510
4511
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4512
(Martin Pool)
4513
4514
INTERNALS:
4515
4516
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4517
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4518
representation. (Martin Pool).
4519
4520
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4521
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4522
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4523
4524
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4525
(Robert Collins)
4526
4527
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4528
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4529
Magnus Therning.
4530
4531
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4532
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4533
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4534
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4535
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4536
4537
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4538
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4539
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4540
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4541
python path. (Robert Collins)
4542
4543
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4544
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4545
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4546
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4547
4548
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4549
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4550
4551
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4552
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4553
(Robert Collins)
4554
4555
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4556
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4557
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4558
4559
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4560
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4561
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4562
4563
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4564
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4565
4566
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4567
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4568
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4569
(Robert Collins)
4570
4571
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4572
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4573
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4574
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4575
(Robert Collins)
4576
4577
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4578
(Robert Collins)
4579
4580
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4581
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4582
(Robert Collins)
4583
4584
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4585
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4586
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4587
4588
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4589
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4590
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4591
4592
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4593
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4594
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4595
4596
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4597
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4598
4599
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4600
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4601
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4602
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4603
caller. (Robert Collins)
4604
4605
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4606
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4607
(Robert Collins).
4608
4609
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4610
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4611
(Aaron Bentley)
4612
4613
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4614
4615
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4616
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4617
4618
BUG FIXES:
4619
4620
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4621
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4622
4623
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4624
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4627
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4628
--------------------
4629
4630
BUG FIXES:
4631
4632
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4633
allow directories to be listed.
4634
4635
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4636
upgrading branch format.
4637
4638
PERFORMANCE:
4639
4640
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4641
4642
4643
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4644
------------------
4645
4646
NOTES:
4647
4648
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4649
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4650
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4651
high-latency connections.
4652
4653
BUG FIXES:
4654
4655
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4656
Rob Weir.
4657
4658
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4659
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4660
4661
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4662
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4663
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4664
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4665
4666
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4667
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4668
4669
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4670
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4671
4672
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4673
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4674
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4675
4676
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4677
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4678
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4679
Robert Collins
4680
4681
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4682
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4683
4684
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4685
different partial views of history.
4686
4687
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4688
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4689
4690
IMPROVEMENTS:
4691
4692
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4693
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4694
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4695
4696
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4697
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4698
'bzr upgrade'.
4699
4700
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4701
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4702
4703
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4704
Niemeyer.
4705
4706
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4707
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4708
4709
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4710
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4711
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4712
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4713
4714
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4715
4716
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4717
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4718
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4719
4720
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4721
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4722
4723
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4724
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4725
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4726
4727
4728
INTERNALS:
4729
4730
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4731
for your viewing pleasure.
4732
4733
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4734
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4735
4736
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4737
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4738
handling of such circumstances.
4739
4740
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4741
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4742
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4743
4744
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4745
4746
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4747
we call them revisions not patches.
4748
4749
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4750
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4751
4752
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4753
giving the revision *of that file*.
4754
4755
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4756
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4757
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4758
4759
TESTING:
4760
4761
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4762
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4763
4764
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4765
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4766
4767
4768
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4769
--------------------
4770
4771
BUG FIXES:
4772
4773
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4774
4775
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4776
(Robert Collins).
4777
4778
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4779
4780
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4781
4782
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4783
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4784
4785
IMPROVEMENTS:
4786
4787
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4788
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4789
4790
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4791
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4792
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4793
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4794
Robey Pointer
4795
4796
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4797
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4798
4799
INTERNALS:
4800
4801
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4802
4803
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4804
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4805
4806
4807
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4808
--------------------
4809
4810
IMPROVEMENTS:
4811
4812
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4813
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4814
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4815
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4816
Michael Ellerman.
4817
4818
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4819
(Nir Soffer)
4820
4821
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4822
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4823
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4824
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4825
for the operating system is still tried.
4826
4827
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4828
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4829
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4830
4831
4832
INTERNALS:
4833
4834
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4835
4836
BUG FIXES:
4837
4838
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4839
4840
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4841
branch.
4842
4843
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4844
read.
4845
4846
4847
PORTABILITY:
4848
4849
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4850
4851
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4852
4853
4854
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4855
--------------------
4856
4857
NEW FEATURES:
4858
4859
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4860
help with intelligent shell completion.
4861
4862
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4863
4864
4865
ENHANCEMENTS:
4866
4867
* Much better merge support.
4868
4869
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4870
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4871
like emacs smerge.
4872
4873
4874
BUG FIXES:
4875
4876
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4877
mention revisions that are not present.
4878
4879
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4880
4881
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4882
4883
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4884
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4885
4886
4887
CHANGES:
4888
4889
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4890
4891
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4892
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4893
--help themselves.
4894
4895
4896
LIBRARY:
4897
4898
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4899
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4900
libraries.
4901
4902
4903
4904
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4905
--------------------
4906
4907
NEW FEATURES:
4908
4909
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4910
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4911
4912
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4913
4914
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4915
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4916
4917
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4918
FOO.
4919
4920
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4921
4922
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4923
the Unix command.
4924
4925
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4926
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4927
4928
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4929
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4930
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4931
4932
4933
ENHANCEMENTS:
4934
4935
* Faster working tree operations.
4936
4937
4938
CHANGES:
4939
4940
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4941
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4942
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4943
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4944
4945
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4946
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4947
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4948
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4949
standard plugins directory.
4950
4951
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4952
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4953
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4954
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4955
4956
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4957
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4958
4959
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4960
disk.
4961
4962
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4963
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4964
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4965
4966
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4967
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4968
4969
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4970
line options must come before the command name because they
4971
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4972
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4973
it.
4974
4975
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4976
4977
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4978
is available with ``--short``.
4979
4980
4981
BUG FIXES:
4982
4983
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4984
4985
4986
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4987
---------------------
4988
4989
CHANGES:
4990
4991
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4992
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4993
4994
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4995
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4996
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4997
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4998
4999
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5000
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5001
with the ``--forward`` option.
5002
5003
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5004
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5005
field.
5006
5007
5008
ENHANCEMENTS:
5009
5010
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5011
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5012
5013
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5014
5015
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5016
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5017
5018
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5019
5020
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5021
either read or write mode.
5022
5023
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5024
5025
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5026
affected that file.
5027
5028
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5029
5030
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5031
suggested by LarstiQ.
5032
5033
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5034
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5035
5036
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5037
a filename.
5038
5039
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5040
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5041
5042
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5043
haven't changed since the previous time.
5044
5045
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5046
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5047
5048
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5049
5050
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5051
5052
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5053
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5054
5055
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5056
options through to an external GNU diff.
5057
5058
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5059
their contents.
5060
5061
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5062
from a branch.
5063
5064
5065
BUG FIXES:
5066
5067
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5068
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5069
5070
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5071
metacharacters.
5072
5073
5074
TESTING:
5075
5076
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5077
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5078
the tests.
5079
5080
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5081
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5082
5083
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5084
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5085
5086
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5087
under a different version.
5088
5089
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5090
5091
5092
INTERNAL:
5093
5094
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5095
5096
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5097
Scott James Remnant.
5098
5099
* Better help messages for many commands.
5100
5101
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5102
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5103
5104
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5105
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5106
5107
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5108
5109
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5110
5111
* New AtomicFile class.
5112
5113
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5114
5115
5116
PORTABILITY:
5117
5118
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5119
2.4 is now only recommended.
5120

5123
---------------------
5124
5125
ENHANCEMENTS:
5126
5127
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5128
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5129
5130
* More default ignore patterns.
5131
5132
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5133
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5134
5135
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5136
5137
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5138
by Jason Diamon.
5139
5140
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5141
5142
5143
CHANGES:
5144
5145
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5146
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5147
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5148
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5149
there are DNS problems.
5150
5151
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5152
5153
5154
BUG FIXES:
5155
5156
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5157
5158
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5159
5160
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5161
trailing newlines properly.
5162
5163
5164
INTERNAL:
5165
5166
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5167
Matt Brubeck.
5168
5169
* More tests in test.sh.
5170
5171
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5172
directory and delete it when done.
5173
5174
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5175
5176
5177
PORTABILITY:
5178
5179

5180
Bennetts.

5183
from QuantumG.

5192
in the tree.

5206

5207
5208
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5209
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5210
will do for now.)
5211
5212
PORTABILITY:
5213
5214
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5215
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5216
Nielsen.
5217
5218

5251
5252
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5253
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5254
5255
* Performance improvements.
5256
5257
* New global --profile option.
