IN DEVELOPMENT

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

CHANGES:
11
12
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
13
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
14
15
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
16
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
17
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
18
19
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
20
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
21
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
22
(Alexander Belchenko)
23
24
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
25
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
26
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
27
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
28
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
29
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
30
(Aaron Bentley)
31
32
FEATURES:
33
34
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
35
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
36
37
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
38
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
39
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
40
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
41
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
42
43
IMPROVEMENTS:
44
45
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
46
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
47
48
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
49
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
50
51
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
52
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
53
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
54
55
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
56
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
57
(John Arbash Meinel)
58
59
BUGFIXES:
60
61
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
62
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
63
64
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
65
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
66
67
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
68
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
69
70
* pull --quiet is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
71
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
72
#185907)
73
74
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
75
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
76
77
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
78
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
79
80
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
81
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
82
83
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
84
more characters which should be considered valid.
85
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
86
87
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
88
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
89
90
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
91
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
92
93
API BREAKS:
94
95
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
96
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
97
98
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
99
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
100
(Martin Pool)
101
102
TESTING:
103
104
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
105
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
106
(Vincent Ladeuil)
107
108
INTERNALS:
109
110
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
111
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
112
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
113
114
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
115
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
116
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
117
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
118
119
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
120
121
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
122
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
123
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
124
server. (Robert Collins)
125
126
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
127
operate. (Robert Collins)
128
129
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
130
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
131
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
132
133
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
134
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
135
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
136
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
137
138
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
139
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
140
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
141
(Alexander Belchenko)
142
143
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
144
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
145
146
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
147
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
148
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
149
150
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
151
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
152
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
153
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
154
155
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
156
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
157
158
159
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
160
------------------
161
162
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
163
164
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
165
---------------------
166
167
CHANGES:
168
169
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
170
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
171
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
172
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
173
174
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
175
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
176
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
177
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
178
179
FEATURES:
180
181
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
182
(Lukáš Lalinský)
183
184
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
185
(Aaron Bentley)
186
187
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
188
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
189
190
IMPROVEMENTS:
191
192
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
193
#90049)
194
195
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
196
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
197
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
198
199
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
200
201
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
202
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
203
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
204
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
205
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
206
207
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
208
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
209
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
210
211
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
212
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
213
214
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
215
(Vincent Ladeuil)
216
217
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
218
219
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
220
221
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
222
(Aaron Bentley)
223
224
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
225
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
226
227
BUGFIXES:
228
229
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
230
(Martin Pool, #180208)
231
232
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
233
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
234
235
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
236
(Aaron Bentley)
237
238
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
239
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
240
241
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
242
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
243
244
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
245
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
246
247
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
248
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
249
250
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
251
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
252
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
253
254
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
256
257
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
258
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
259
(Aaron Bentley)
260
261
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
262
263
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
264
user:pass embedded in the urls.
265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
266
267
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
268
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
269
270
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
271
(Aaron Bentley)
272
273
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
274
#148087)
275
276
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
277
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
278
279
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
280
#137681)
281
282
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
283
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
284
(Aaron Bentley)
285
286
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
287
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
289
290
DOCUMENTATION:
291
292
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
293
(Ian Clatworthy)
294
295
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
296
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
297
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
298
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
299
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
300
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
301
302
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
303
304
INTERNALS:
305
306
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
307
(Aaron Bentley)
308
309
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
310
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
311
312
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
313
314
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
315
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
316
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
317
Robert Collins)
318
319
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
320
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
321
322
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
323
(Vincent Ladeuil)
324
325
API BREAKS:
326
327
TESTING:
328
329
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
330
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
331
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
332
333
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
334
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
335
(Robert Collins)
336
337
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
338
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
339
340
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
341
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
342
343
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
344
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
345
346
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
347
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
348
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
349
350
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
351
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
352
353
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
354
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
355
356
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
357
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
358
(Vincent Ladeuil)
359
360
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
361
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
362
363
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
364
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
365
366
367
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
368
------------------
369
370
DOCUMENTATION:
371
372
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
373
374
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
375
(Ian Clatworthy)
376
377
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
378
379
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
380
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
381
(Ian Clatworthy)
382
383
384
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
385
---------------------
386
387
CHANGES:
388
389
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
390
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
391
by mail to the mailing list.
392
(Martin Pool)
393
394
BUGFIXES:
395
396
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
397
398
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
399
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
400
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
401
feedback but also incur more latency.
402
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
403
404
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
405
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
406
407
DOCUMENTATION:
408
409
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
410
411
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
412
(Ian Clatworthy)
413
414
INTERNALS:
415
416
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
417
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
418
wraps its output in a StringIO.
419
(Vincent Ladeuil)
420
421
422
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
423
---------------------
424
425
IMPROVEMENTS:
426
427
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
428
429
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
430
(Aaron Bentley)
431
432
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
433
Nordhoff, #172612)
434
435
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
436
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
437
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
438
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
439
440
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
441
(Kent Gibson)
442
443
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
444
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
445
446
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
447
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
448
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
449
450
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
451
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
452
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
453
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
454
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
455
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
456
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
457
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
458
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
459
460
INTERNALS:
461
462
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
463
(Vincent Ladeuil)
464
465
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
466

BUGFIXES:
468
469
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
470
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
471
472
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
473
filename to user.
474
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
475
476
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
477
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
478
required.
479
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
480
481
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
482
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
483
484
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
485
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
486
487
API BREAKS:

---------------------
495
496
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
497
498
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
499
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
500
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
501
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
502
503
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
504
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
505
506
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
507
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
508
509
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
510
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
511
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
512
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
513
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
514
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
515
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
516
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
517
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
518
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
519
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
520
from any tree without problems.
521
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
522
523
CHANGES:
524
525
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
526
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
527
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
528
529
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
530
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
531
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
532
(Martin Pool)
533
534
FEATURES:
535
536
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
537
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
538
supported transports.
539
(Vincent Ladeuil)
540
541
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
542
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
543
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
544
545
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
546
(Robert Collins, #154173)
547
548
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
549
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
550
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
551
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
552
553
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
554
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
555
556
PERFORMANCE:
557
558
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
559
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
560
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
561
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
562
563
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
564
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
565
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
566
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
567
568
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
569
(Robert Collins, #88319)
570
571
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
572
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
573
574
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
575
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
576
577
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
578
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
579
(Aaron Bentley)
580
581
IMPROVEMENTS:
582
583
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
584
(Aaron Bentley)
585
586
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
587
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
588
(Lukáš Lalinský)
589
590
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
591
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
592
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
593
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
594
595
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
596
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
597
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
598
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

604
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
605
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
606
607
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
608
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
609
610
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
611
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
612
613
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
615
616
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
617
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
618
619
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
620
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
621
622
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
624
625
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
626
(Aaron Bentley)
627
628
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
629
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
630
631
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
632
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
634
635
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
636
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
637
638
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
639
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
640
641
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
642
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
643
644
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
646
647
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
648
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
649
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
650
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
651
on them.
652
(Martin Pool, #164637)
653
654
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
655
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
656
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
657
658
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
659
(Robert Collins, #161240)
660
661
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
662
to be reconciled.
663
(Martin Pool, #164443)
664
665
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
666
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
667
668
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
669
specify a port in urls.
670
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
671
672
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
673
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
674
675
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
676
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
677
678
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
679
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
680
681
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
682
(Robert Collins, #153789)
683
684
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
685
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
686
(Robert Collins, #165304).
687
688
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
689
690
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
691
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
692
693

697
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
698
699
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
700
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
701
702
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
703
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
704
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
705
706
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
707
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
708
709
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
710
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
711
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
712
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
713
714
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
715
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
716
717
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
718
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
719
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
720
721
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
722
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
723
724
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
726
727
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
728
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
729
730
API BREAKS:
731
732
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
733
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
734
735
* The return value of
736
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
737
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
738
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
739
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
740
741
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
742
(Robert Collins)
743
744
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
745
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
746
format.
747
(Martin Pool)
748
749
INTERNALS:
750
751
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
752
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
753
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
754
Bennetts)
755
756
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
757
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
758
759
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

775
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
776
777
CHANGES:
778
779
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
780
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
781
782
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
783
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
784
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
785
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
786
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
787
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
788
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
789
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
790
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
791
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
792
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
793
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
794
(Robert Collins)
795
796
FEATURES:
797
798
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
799
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
800
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
801
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
802
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
803
for further details. (Robert Collins)
804
805
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
806
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
807
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
808
(Robert Collins)
809
810
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
811
812
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
813
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
814
815
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
816
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
817
(Aaron Bentley)
818
819
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
820
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
821
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
822
823
PERFORMANCE:
824
825
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
826
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
827
828
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
829
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
830
831
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
832
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
833
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
834
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
835
836
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
837
(Robert Collins)
838
839
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
840
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
841
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
842
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
843
844
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
845
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
846
847
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
848
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
849
850
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
851
the contents. (Robert Collins)
852
853
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
854
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
855
856
IMPROVEMENTS:
857
858
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
859
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
860
861
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
862
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
863
864
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
865
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
866
867
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
868
(Martin Pool, #63894)
869
870
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
871
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
872
873
DOCUMENTATION:
874
875
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
876
877
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
878
(Ian Clatworthy)
879
880
BUG FIXES:
881
882
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
883
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
884
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
885
886
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
887
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
888
889
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
890
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
891
892
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
893
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
894
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
895
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
896
897
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
898
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
899
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
900
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
901
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
902
903
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
904
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
905
paramiko.
906
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
907
908
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
909
910
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
911
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
912
913
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
914
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
915
916
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
918
919
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
920
contains a symbolic link.
921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
922
923
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
924
(James Westby, #140615)
925
926
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
927
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
928
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
929
930
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
931
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
932
(Martin Pool, #144633)
933
934
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
935
936
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
938
939
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
940
will remain opened.
941
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
942
943
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
944
directory to detect leaking tests.
945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
946
947
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
948
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
949
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
950
951
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
952
(Rob Weir, #141629)
953
954
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
955
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
956
957
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
958
Merwe)

* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
963
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
964
965
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
966
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
967
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
968
969
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
970
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
971
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
972
973
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
974
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
975
976
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
977
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
978
979
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
980
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
981
(Martin Pool)
982
983
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
984
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
985
986
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
987
class that needs it.
988
(Martin Pool)
989
990
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
991
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
992
993
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
994
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
995
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
996
997
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
998
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
999
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1000
(Robert Collins)
1001
1002
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1003
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1004
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1005
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1006
(Robert Collins)
1007
1008
INTERNALS:
1009
1010
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1011
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1012
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1013
1014
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1015
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1016
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1017
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1018
1019
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1020
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1021
(Robert Collins)
1022
1023
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1024
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1025
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1026
1027
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1028
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1029
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1030
1031
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1032
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1033
1034
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1035
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1036
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1037
1038
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1039
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1040
1041
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1042
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1043
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1044
1045
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1046
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1047
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1048
1049
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1050
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1051
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1052
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1053
1054
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1055
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1056
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1057
returned. (Robert Collins)
1058
1059
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1060
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1061
1062
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1063
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1064
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1065
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1066
(Robert Collins)
1067
1068
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1069
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1070
1071
TESTING:
1072
1073
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1074
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1075
1076
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1077
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1078
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1079
makes this behavior available to other users.
1080
(Martin Pool)
1081
1082
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1083
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1084
1085
1086
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1087
-------------------
1088
1089
BUG FIXES:
1090
1091
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1092
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1093
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1094
1095
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1096
1097
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1098
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1099
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1100
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1101
1102
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1103
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1104
(Andrew Bennetts)
1105
1106
1107
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1108
----------------------
1109
1110
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1111
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1112
1113
1114
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1115
----------------------
1116
1117
CHANGES:
1118
1119
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1120
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1121
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1122
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1123
(Martin Pool)
1124
1125
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1126
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1127
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1128
(Ian Clatworthy)
1129
1130
FEATURES:
1131
1132
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1133
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1134
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1135
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1136
1137
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1138
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1139
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1140
1141
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1142
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1143
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1144
1145
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1146
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1147
1148
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1149
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1150
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1151
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1152
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1153
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1154
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1155
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1156
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1157
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1158
1159
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1160
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1161
1162
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1163
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1164
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1165
1166
BUG FIXES:
1167
1168
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1169
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1170
1171
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1172
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1173
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1174
1175
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1176
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1177
1178
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1179
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1180
1181
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1182
(Aaron Bentley)
1183
1184
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1185
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1186
1187
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1188
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1189
1190
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1191
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1192
1193
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1194
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1195
1196
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1197
1198
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1199
Watkins, #106726)
1200
1201
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1202
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1203
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1204
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1205
1206
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1207
1208
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1209
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1210
#133548)
1211
1212
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1213
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1214
1215
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1216
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1217
#116143)
1218
1219
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1220
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1221
1222
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1223
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1224
1225
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1226
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1227
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1228
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1229
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1230
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1231
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1232
1233
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1234
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1235
1236
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1237
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1238
1239
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1240
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1241
1242
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1244
1245
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1246
connections.
1247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1248
1249
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1250
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1251
1252
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1253
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1254
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1255
1256
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1257
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1258
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1259
1260
IMPROVEMENTS:
1261
1262
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1263
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1264
1265
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1266
(Aaron Bentley)
1267
1268
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1269
(Aaron Bentley)
1270
1271
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1272
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1273
1274
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1275
1276
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1277
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1278
1279
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1280
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1281
1282
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1283
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1284
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1285
space). (Robert Collins)
1286
1287
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1288
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1289
(Ian Clatworthy)
1290
1291
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1292
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1293
1294
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1295
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1296
1297
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1298
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1299
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1300
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1301
1302
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1303
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1304
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1305
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1306
1307
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1308
(Ian Clatworthy)
1309
1310
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1311
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1312
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1313
1314
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1315
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1316
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1317
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1318
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1319
1320
API BREAKS:
1321
1322
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1323
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1324
1325
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1326
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1327
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1328
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1329
affected. (Robert Collins)
1330
1331
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1332
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1333
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1334
(Robert Collins)
1335
1336
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1337
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1338
1339
TESTING:
1340
1341
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1342
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1343
1344
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1345
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1346
1347
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1348
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1349
1350
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1351
(Aaron Bentley)
1352
1353
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1354
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1355
1356
INTERNALS:
1357
1358
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1359
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1360
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1361
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1364
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1365
1366
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1367
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1368
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1369
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1370
1371
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1372
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1373
present. (Robert Collins)
1374
1375
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1376
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1377
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1378
API. (Robert Collins)
1379
1380
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1381
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1382
(Robert Collins)
1383
1384
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1385
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1386
1387
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1388
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1389
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1390
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1391
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1392
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1393
1394
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1395
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1396
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1397
1398
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1399
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1400
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1401
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1402
protocol.
1403
1404
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1405
(Aaron Bentley)
1406
1407
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1408
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1409
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1410
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1411
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1412
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1413
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1414
1415
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1416
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1417
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1418
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1419
1420
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1421
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1422
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1423
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1424
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1425
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1426
1427
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1428
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1429
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1430
1431
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1432
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1437
1438
IMPROVEMENTS:
1439
1440
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1441
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1442
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1443
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1444
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1445
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1446
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1449
1450
API CHANGES:
1451
1452
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1453
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1454
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1455
1456
1457
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1458
----------------------
1459
1460
BUGFIXES:
1461
1462
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1463
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1464
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1465
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1466
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1467
1468
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1470
1471
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1472
anymore.
1473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1474
1475
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1476
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1477
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1478
1479
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1480
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1481
#111664)
1482
1483
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1484
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1485
1486
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1487
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1488
1489
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1490
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1491
1492
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1493
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1494
1495
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1496
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1497
1498
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1499
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1500
1501
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1502
(Aaron Bentley)
1503
1504
IMPROVEMENTS:
1505
1506
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1507
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1508
1509
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1510
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1511
1512
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1513
the repository (Robert Collins)
1514
1515
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1516
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1517
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1518
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1519
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1520
1521
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1522
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1523
1524
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1525
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1526
(John Arbash Meinel)
1527
1528
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1529
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1530
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1531
about 10%).
1532
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1533
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1534
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1535
(John Arbash Meinel)
1536
1537
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1538
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1539
(Robert Collins)
1540
1541
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1542
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1543
1544
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1545
(Ian Clatworthy)
1546
1547
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1548
1549
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1550
1551
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1552
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1553
1554
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1555
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1556
Meinel)
1557
1558
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1559
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1560
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1561
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1562
1563
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1564
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1565
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1566
1567
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1568
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1569
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1570
1571
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1572
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1573
1574
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1575
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1576
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1577
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1578
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1579
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1580
(Ian Clatworthy)
1581
1582
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1583
(Alexander Belchenko)
1584
1585
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1586
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1587
1588
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1589
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1590
1591
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1592
1593
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1594
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1595
1596
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1597
1598
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1599
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1600
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1601
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1602
1603
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1604
1605
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1606
(Robert Collins)
1607
1608
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1609
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1610
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1611
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1612
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1613
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1614
1615
INTERNALS:
1616
1617
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1618
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1619
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1620
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1621
1622
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1623
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1624
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1625
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1626
tests have been refactored too.
1627
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1628
1629
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1630
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1631
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1632
list, it will.
1633
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1634
1635
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1636
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1637
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1638
1639
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1640
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1641
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1642
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1643
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1644
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1645
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1646
1647
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1648
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1649
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1650
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1651
(John Arbash Meinel)
1652
1653
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1654
functionality for testing.
1655
1656
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1657
1658
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1659
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1660
1661
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1662
1663
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1664
(Robert Collins)
1665
1666
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1667
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1668
1669
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1670
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1671
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1672
1673
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1674
(Aaron Bentley)
1675
1676
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1677
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1678
1679
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1680
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1681
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1682
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1683
1684
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1685
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1686
1687
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1688
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1689
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1690
1691
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1692
(Marius Kruger)
1693
1694
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1695
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1696
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1697
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1698
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1699
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1700
1701
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1702
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1703
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1704
many files. (Robert Collins)
1705
1706
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1707
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1708
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1709
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1710
1711
TESTING:
1712
1713
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1714
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1715
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1716
1717
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1718
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1719
1720
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1721
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1722
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1737
1738
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1739
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1740
1741
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1742
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1743
(James Westby, #122656)
1744
1745
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1746
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1747
1748
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1749
authentication header.
1750
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1751
1752
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1753
1754
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1755
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1756
1757
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1758
1759
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1760
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1761
1762
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1763
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1765
1766
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1767
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1768
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1769
1770
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1771
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1772
1773
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1775
1776
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1777
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1778
1779
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1780
1781
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1782
1783
IMPROVEMENTS:
1784
1785
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1786
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1787
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1788
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1789
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1790
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1791
1792
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1793
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1794
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1795
1796
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1797
(Elliot Murphy)
1798
1799
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1800
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1801
1802
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1803
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1804
1805
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1806
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1807
1808
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1809
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1810
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1811
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1812
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1813
1814
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1815
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1816
1817
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1818
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1819
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1820
1821
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1822
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1823
1824
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1825
1826
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1827
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1828
1829
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1830
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1831
(Robert Collins)
1832
1833
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1834
(Martin Pool)
1835
1836
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1837
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1838
1839
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1840
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1841
1842
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1843
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1844
1845
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1846
1847
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1848
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1849
1850
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1851
(Andrew Bennetts)
1852
1853
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1854
1855
* Testing cleanups -
1856
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1857
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;

1872
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1873
(Robert Collins)
1874
1875
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1876
1877
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1878
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1879
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1880
1881
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1882
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1883
1884
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1885
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1886
1887
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1888
1889
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1890
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1891
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1892
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1893
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1894
same location. (Robert Collins)
1895
1896
INTERNALS:
1897
1898
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1899
1900
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1901
1902
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1903
1904
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1905
(Martin Pool)
1906
1907
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1908
(Martin Pool)
1909
1910
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1911
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1912
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1913
1914
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1915
1916
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1917
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1918
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1919
1920
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1921
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1922
1923
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1924
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1925
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1926
1927
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1928
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1929
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1930
1931
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1932
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1933
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1936
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1937
Martin Pool)
1938
1939
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1940
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1941
1942
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1943
(Alexander Belchenko)
1944
1945
TESTING:
1946
1947
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1948
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1949
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1950
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1951
1952
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1953
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1954
testing. (Robert Collins)
1955
1956
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1957
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1958
1959
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1960
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1961
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1962
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1963
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1964
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1965
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1966
1967
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1968
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1969
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1970
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1971
1972
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1973
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1974
1975
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1976
avoid useless cloning.

bzr 0.17 2007-06-18
1981
--------------------
1982
1983
BUGFIXES:
1984
1985
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1986
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1987
1988
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

-----------------------
1994
1995
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1996
1997
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1998
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1999
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2000
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2001
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2002
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2003
and unlock() like so::
2004
2005
work_tree.lock_read()
2006
try:
2007
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2008
finally:
2009
work_tree.unlock()
2010
2011
INTERNALS:
2012
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2013
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2014
object.
2015
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2016
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2017
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2018
2019
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2020
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2021
too. (Robert Collins)
2022
2023
IMPROVEMENTS:
2024
2025
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2026
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2027
Aaron Bentley)
2028
2029
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2030
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2031
2032
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2033
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2034
2035
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2036
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2037
understanding what changes have occurred
2038
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2039
2040
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2041
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2042
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2043
2044
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2045
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2046
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2047
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2048
2049
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2050
#56322)
2051
2052
BUGFIXES:
2053
2054
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2055
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2056
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2057
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2058
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2059
2060
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2061
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2062
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2063
2064
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2065
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2066
2067
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2068
into account.
2069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2070
2071
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2072
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2073
2074
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2075
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2076
2077
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2078
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2079
2080
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2081
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2082
2083
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2084
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2085
2086
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2087
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2088
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2089
2090
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2091
--------------------
2092
2093
BUGFIXES:
2094
2095
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2096
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2097
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2098
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2099
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2100
2101
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2102
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2103
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2104
2105
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2106
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2107
2108
IMPROVEMENTS:
2109
2110
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2111
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2112
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2113
2114
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2115
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2116
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2117
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2118
2119
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2120
-----------------------
2121
2122
BUGFIXES:
2123
2124
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2125
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2126
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2127
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2128
2129
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2130
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2131
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2132
2133
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2134
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2135
2136
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2137
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2138
2139
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2140
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2141
2142
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2143
-----------------------
2144
2145
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2146
2147
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2148
it could be recovered again.
2149
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2150
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2151
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2152
but not delete it.
2153
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2154
files.
2155
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2156
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2157
2158
IMPROVEMENTS:
2159
2160
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2161
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2162
2163
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2164
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2165
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2166
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2167
2168
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2169
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2170
2171
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2172
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2173
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2174
2175
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2176
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2177
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2178
2179
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2180
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2181
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2182
2183
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2184
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2185
Robert Collins)
2186
2187
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2188
Pool)
2189
2190
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2191
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2192
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2193
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2194
2195
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2196
(Robert Collins)
2197
2198
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2199
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2200
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2201
(Robert Collins)
2202
2203
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2204
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2205
2206
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2207
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2208
2209
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2210
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2211
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2212
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2213
(Robert Collins)
2214
2215
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2216
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2217
2218
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2219
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2220
2221
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2222
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2223
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2224
2225
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2226
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2227
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2228
2229
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2230
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2231
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2232
2233
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2234
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2235
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2236
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2237
2238
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2239
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2240
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2241
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2242
2243
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2244
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2245
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2246
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2247
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2248
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2249
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2250
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2251
header(s).
2252
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2253
2254
INTERNALS:
2255
2256
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2257
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2258
2259
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2260
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2261
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2262
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2263
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2264
2265
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2266
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2267
2268
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2269
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2270
2271
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2272
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2273
2274
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2275
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2276
2277
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2278
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2279
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2280
(Robert Collins).
2281
2282
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2283
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2284
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2285
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2286
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2287
(Robert Collins)
2288
2289
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2290
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2291
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2292
2293
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2294
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2295
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2296
2297
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2298
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2299
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2300
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2301
2302
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2303
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2304
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2305
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2306
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2307
2308
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2309
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2310
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2311
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2312
2313
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2314
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2315
2316
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2317
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2318
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2319
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2320
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2321
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2322
2323
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2324
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2325
2326
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2327
help. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2330
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2331
2332
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2333
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2334
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2335
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2336
(John Arbash Meinel)
2337
2338
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2339
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2340
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2341
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2342
useful. (Robert Collins)
2343
2344
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2345
(Andrew Bennetts)
2346
2347
BUGFIXES:
2348
2349
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2350
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2351
2352
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2353
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2354
2355
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2356
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2357
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2358
2359
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2360
(Aaron Bentley)
2361
2362
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2363
the file, and does it faster.
2364
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2365
2366
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2367
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2368
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2369
2370
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2371
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2372
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2373
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2374
2375
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2376
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2377
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2378
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2379
2380
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2381
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2382
2383
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2384
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2385
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2386
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2387
Arbash Meinel)
2388
2389
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2390
2391
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2392
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2393
2394
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2395
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2396
2397
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2398
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2399
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2400
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2401
security hole.
2402
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2403
2404
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2405
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2406
2407
TESTING:
2408
2409
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2410
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2411
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2412
2413
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2414
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2415
2416
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2417
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2418
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2419
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2420
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2421
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2422
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2423
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2424
2425
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2426
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2427
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2428
2429
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2430
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2431
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2432
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2433
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2434
access.
2435
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2436
2437
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2438
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2439
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2440
2441
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2442
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
2459
2460
CHANGES:
2461
2462
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2463
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2464
(Martin Pool)
2465
2466
IMPROVEMENTS:
2467
2468
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2469
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2470
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2471
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2472
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2473
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2474
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2475
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2476
path. (vila)
2477
2478
INTERNALS:
2479
2480
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2481
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2482
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2483
2484
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2485
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2486
(Martin Pool)
2487
2488
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2489
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2490
(John Arbash Meinel)
2491
2492
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2493
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2494
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2495
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2496
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2497
2498
BUGFIXES:
2499
2500
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2501
(vila, #92195)
2502
2503
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2504
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2505
2506
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2507
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2508
2509
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2510
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2511
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2512
2513
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2514
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2515
2516
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2517
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2518
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2519
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2520
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2521
2522
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2523
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2524
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2525
2526
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2530
-----------------------
2531
2532
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2533
2534
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2535
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2536
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2537
2538
IMPROVEMENTS:
2539
2540
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2541
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2542
2543
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2544
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2545
2546
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2547
2548
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2549
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2550
2551
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2552
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2553
2554
INTERNALS:
2555
2556
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2557
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2558
2559
BUGFIXES:
2560
2561
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2562
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2563
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2564
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2565
2566
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2567
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2568
2569
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2570
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2571
2572
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2573
(Marien Zwart)
2574
2575
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

2579
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2580
-----------------------
2581
2582
SURPRISES:
2583
2584
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2585
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2586
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2587
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2588
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2589
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2590
2591
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2592
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2593
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2594
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2595
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2596
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2597
development.
2598
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2599
2600
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2601
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2602
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2603
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2604
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2605
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2606
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2607
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2608
2609
IMPROVEMENTS:
2610
2611
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2612
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2613
2614
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2615
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2616
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2617
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2618
does exist.
2619
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2620
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2621
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2622
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2623
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2624
2625
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2626
(Aaron Bentley)
2627
2628
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2629
(Aaron Bentley)
2630
2631
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2632
(Robert Collins)
2633
2634
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2635
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2636
(Aaron Bentley)
2637
2638
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2639
(Aaron Bentley)
2640
2641
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2642
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2643
2644
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2645
directory. (Martin Pool)
2646
2647
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2648
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2649
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2650
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2651
2652
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2653
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2654
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2655
in docs/configuration.txt.
2656
2657
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2658
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2659
bind location.
2660
2661
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2662
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2663
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2664
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2665
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2666
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2667
2668
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2669
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2670
2671
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2672
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2673
2674
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2675
(Aaron Bentley)
2676
2677
INTERNALS:
2678
2679
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2680
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2681
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2682
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2683
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2684
(John Arbash Meinel)
2685
2686
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2687
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2688
(Aaron Bentley)
2689
2690
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2691
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2692
(John Arbash Meinel)
2693
2694
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2695
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2696
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2697
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2698
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2699
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2700
2701
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2702
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2703
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2704
2705
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2706
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2707
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2708
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2709
repository.
2710
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2711
2712
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2713
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2714
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2715
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2716
2717
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2718
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2719
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2720
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2721
2722
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2723
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2724
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2725
2726
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2727
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2728
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2729
2730
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2731
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2732
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2733
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2734
2735
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2736
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2737
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2738
2739
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2740
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2741
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2742
2743
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2744
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2745
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2746
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2747
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2748
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2749
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2750
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2751
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2752
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2753
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2754
2755
BUGFIXES:
2756
2757
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2758
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2759
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2760
2761
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2762
(Aaron Bentley)
2763
2764
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2765
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2766
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2767
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2768
2769
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2770
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2771
#83954).
2772
2773
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2774
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2775
2776
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2777
2778
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2779
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2780
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2781
2782
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2783
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2784
2785
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2787
2788
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2790
2791
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2792
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2793
2794
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2795
2796
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2797
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2798
2799
TESTING:
2800
2801
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2802
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

2805
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
2806
--------------------
2807
2808
IMPROVEMENTS:
2809
2810
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2811
2812
BUG FIXES:
2813
2814
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2815
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2816
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2817
2818
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2819
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2820
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

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

2963
IMPROVEMENTS:
2964
2965
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2966
tree from a branch.
2967
(Daniel Silverstone)
2968
2969
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2970
operations are substantially faster.
2971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2972
2973
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2974
tree from some other url. For example:
2975
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2976
(Daniel Silverstone)
2977
2978
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2979
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2980
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2981
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2982
2983
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2984
(Andrew Bennetts)
2985
2986
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2987
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2988
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2989
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2990
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2991
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2992
2993
INTERNALS:
2994
2995
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2996
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2997
(Martin Pool)
2998
2999
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3000
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3001
(John Arbash Meinel)
3002
3003
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3004
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3005
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3006
(John Arbash Meinel)
3007
3008
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3009
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3010
3011
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3012
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3013
3014
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3015
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3016
Bennetts)
3017
3018
BUG FIXES:
3019
3020
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3021
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3022
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3023
3024
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3025
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3026
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3027
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3028
3029
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3030
3031
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3032
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3033
3034
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3035
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3036
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3037
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3038
3039
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3040
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3041
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3042
3043
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3044
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3045
them as full references rather than integers.
3046
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3047
3048
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3049
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3050
3051
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3052
3053
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3054
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3055
3056
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3057
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3058
3059
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3060
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3061
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3062
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3063
3064
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3065
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3066
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3067
3068
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3069
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3070
3071
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3072
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3073
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3074
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3075
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3076
3077
TESTING:
3078
3079
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3080
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3083
--------------------
3084
3085
INTERNALS:
3086
3087
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3088
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3089
(John Arbash Meinel)
3090
3091
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3092
-----------------------
3093
3094
IMPROVEMENTS:
3095
3096
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3097
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3098
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3099
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3100
3101
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3102
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3103
3104
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3105
3106
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3107
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3108
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3109
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3110
3111
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3112
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3113
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3114
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3115
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3116
3117
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3118
3119
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3120
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3121
3122
INTERNALS:
3123
3124
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3125
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3126
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3127
3128
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3129
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3130
(John Arbash Meinel)
3131
3132
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3133
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3134
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3135
3136
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3137
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3138
(Aaron Bentley)
3139
3140
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3141
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3142
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3143
3144
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3145
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3146
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3147
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3148
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3149
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3150
3151
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3152
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3153
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3154
(Robert Collins)
3155
3156
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3157
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3158
3159
BUG FIXES:
3160
3161
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3162
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3163
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3164
#63360, #66349)
3165
3166
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3167
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3168
3169
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3170
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3171
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3172
3173
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3174
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3175
3176
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3177
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3178
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3179
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3180
3181
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3182
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3183
3184
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3185
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3186
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3187
3188
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3189
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3190
3191
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3192
3193
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3194
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3195
#32054)
3196
3197
TESTING:
3198
3199
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3200
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3201
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3202
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3203
3204
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3205
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3206
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

IMPROVEMENTS:
3227
3228
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3229
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3230
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3231
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3232
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3233
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3234
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3235
3236
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3237
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3238
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3239
3240
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3241
3242
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3243
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3244
3245
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3246
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3247
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3248
(Robert Collins)
3249
3250
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3251
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3252
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3253
(John Arbash Meinel)
3254
3255
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3256
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3257
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3258
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3259
Pool)
3260
3261
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3262
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3263
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3264
(John Arbash Meinel)
3265
3266
BUG FIXES:
3267
3268
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3269
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3270
3271
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3272
3273
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3274
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3275
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3276
3277
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3278
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3279
3280
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3281
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3282
3283
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3285
3286
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3287
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3288
3289
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3290
3291
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3292
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3293
3294
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3295
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3296
3297
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3298
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3299
3300
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3301
(John Arbash Meinel)
3302
3303
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3304
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3305
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3306
3307
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3308
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3309
3310
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3311
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3312
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3313
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3314
3315
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3316
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3317
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3318
3319
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3320
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3321
3322
PORTABILITY:
3323
3324
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3325
3326
INTERNALS:
3327
3328
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3329
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3330
(John Arbash Meinel)
3331
3332
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3333
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3334
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3335
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3336
3337
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3338
(Andrew Bennetts)
3339
3340
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3341
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3342
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3343
3344
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3345
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3346
3347
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3348
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3349
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3352
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3353
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3354
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3355
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3356
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3357
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3358
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3359
caller to repeat their request.
3360
(John Arbash Meinel)
3361
3362
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3363
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3364
3365
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3366
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3367
3368
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3369
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3370
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3371
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3372
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3373
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3374
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3375
3376
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3377
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3378
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3379
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3380
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3381
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3382
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3383
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3384
(Robert Collins)
3385
3386
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3387
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3388
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3389
3390
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3391
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3392
3393
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3394
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3395
3396
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3397
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3398
3399
TESTING:
3400
3401
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3402
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3403
3404
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3405
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3406
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3407
3408
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3409
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3410
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3411
3412
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3413
--------------------
3414
3415
IMPROVEMENTS:
3416
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3417
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3418
3419
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3420
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3421
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3422
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3423
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3424
3425
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3426
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3427
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3428
3429
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3430
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3431
3432
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3433
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3434
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3435
3436
BUG FIXES:
3437
3438
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3439
3440
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3441
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3442
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3443
3444
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3445
3446
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3447
3448
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3449
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3450
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3451
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3452
3453
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3454
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3455
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3456
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3457
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3458
3459
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3460
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3461
3462
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3463
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3464
3465
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3466
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3467
3468
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3469
in handling of revision properties.
3470
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3471
3472
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3473
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3474
3475
INTERNALS:
3476
3477
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3478
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3479
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3480
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3481
(John Arbash Meinel)
3482
3483
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3484
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3485
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3486
3487
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3488
---------------------
3489
3490
SURPRISES:
3491
3492
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3493
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3494
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3495
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3496
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3497
a more conservative list than the old default.
3498
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3499
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3500
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3501
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3502
3503
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3504
to more locations than just branch locations.
3505
(Aaron Bentley)
3506
3507
IMPROVEMENTS:
3508
3509
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3510
revno:N:branch. For example,
3511
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3512
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3513
3514
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3515
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3516
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3517
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3518
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3519
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3520
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3521
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3522
#42517, #42514)
3523
3524
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3525
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3526
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3527
(Malone #3507)
3528
3529
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3530
(Alexander Belchenko)
3531
3532
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3533
3534
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3535
(Robert Collins).
3536
3537
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3538
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3539
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3540
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3541
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3542
(John Arbash Meinel)
3543
3544
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3545
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3546
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3547
grained analysis of performance.
3548
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3549
3550
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3551
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3552
3553
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3554
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3555
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3556
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3557
file. (Robert Collins).
3558
3559
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3560
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3561
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3562
3563
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3564
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3565
Matthieu Moy)
3566
3567
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3568
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3569
3570
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3571
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3572
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3573
the same way you would apply another branch.
3574
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3575
3576
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3577
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3578
3579
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3580
(Michael Ellerman)
3581
3582
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3583
(Aaron Bentley)
3584
3585
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3586
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3587
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3588
3589
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3590
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3591
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3592
3593
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3594
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3595
3596
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3597
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3598
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3599
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3600
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3601
3602
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3603
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3604
3605
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3606
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3607
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3608
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3609
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3610
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3611
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3612
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3613
3614
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3615
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3616
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3617
3618
BUG FIXES:
3619
3620
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3621
tests not to run.
3622
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3623
3624
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3625
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3628
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3629
3630
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3631
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3632
3633
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3634
3635
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3636
(John Arbash Meinel)
3637
3638
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3639
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3640
3641
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3642
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3643
and y.
3644
3645
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3646
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3647
3648
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3649
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3650
3651
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3652
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3653
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3654
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3655
3656
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3657
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3658
3659
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3660
3661
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3662
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3663
3664
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3665
3666
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3667
3668
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3669
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3670
3671
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3672
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3673
3674
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3675
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3676
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3677
3678
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3679
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3680
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3681
3682
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3683
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3684
3685
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3686
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3687
3688
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3689
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3690
3691
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3692
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3693
3694
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3695
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3696
3697
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3698
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3699
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3700
3701
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3702
3703
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3704
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3705
3706
INTERNALS:
3707
3708
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3709
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3710
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3711
3712
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3713
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3714
3715
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3716
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3717
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3718
3719
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3720
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3721
3722
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3723
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3724
(Martin Pool)
3725
3726
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3727
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3728
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3729
3730
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3731
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3732
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3733
3734
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3735
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3736
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3737
3738
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3739
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3740
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3741
3742
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3743
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3744
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3745
3746
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3747
instead. (Robert Collins)
3748
3749
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3787
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)

3806
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3807
-------------------
3808
3809
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3810
3811
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3812
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3813
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3814
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3815
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3816
will keep the same format.
3817
3818
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3819
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3820
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3821
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3822
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3823
3824
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3825
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3826
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3827
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3828
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3829
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3830
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3831
3832
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3833
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3834
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3835
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3836
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3837
3838
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3839
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3840
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3841
arrangement.
3842
3843
3844
IMPROVEMENTS:
3845
3846
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3847
convention. Paths now take the form::
3848
3849
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3850
or
3851
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3852
3853
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3854
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3855
3856
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3857
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3858
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3859
3860
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3861
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3862
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3863
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3864
3865
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3866
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3867
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3868
3869
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3870
3871
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3872
3873
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3874
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3875
commits::
3876
3877
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3878
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3879
| xargs bzr re-sign
3880
3881
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3882
3883
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3884
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3885
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3886
(Robert Collins)
3887
3888
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3889
3890
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3891
3892
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3893
'.moved'.
3894
3895
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3896
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3897
3898
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3899
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3900
Daniel Silverstone)
3901
3902
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3903
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3904
Martin Pool)
3905
3906
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3907
3908
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3909
3910
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3911
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3912
3913
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3914
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3915
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3916
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3917
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3918
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3919
3920
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3921
3922
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3923
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3924
(Robert Collins)
3925
3926
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3927
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3928
3929
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3930
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3931
3932
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3933
3934
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3935
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3936
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3937
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3938
specification by Martin Pool.
3939
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3940
3941
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3942
Belchenko)
3943
3944
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3945
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3946
3947
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3948
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3949
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3950
3951
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3952
3953
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3954
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3955
(Robert Collins)
3956
3957
CHANGES:
3958
3959
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3960
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3961
3962
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3963
3964
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3965
3966
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3967
(Olaf Conradi)
3968
3969
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3970
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3971
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3972
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3973
3974
INTERNALS:
3975
3976
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3977
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3978
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3979
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3980
3981
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3982
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3983
tried. (Martin Pool)
3984
3985
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3986
(Martin Pool)
3987
3988
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3989
3990
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3991
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3992
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3993
3994
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3995
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3996
3997
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3998
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3999
paths. (Robert Collins)
4000
4001
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4002
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4003
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4004
4005
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4006
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4007
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4008
4009
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4010
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4011
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4012
4013
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4014
(Olaf Conradi)
4015
4016
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4017
(Olaf Conradi)
4018
4019
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4020
4021
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4022
4023
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4024
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4025
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4026
(Robert Collins)
4027
4028
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4029
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4030
4031
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4032
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4033
check. (Robert Collins)
4034
4035
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4036
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4037
4038
TESTING:
4039
4040
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4041
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4042
4043
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4044
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4045
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4046
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4047
4048
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4049
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4050
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4051
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4052
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4053
4054
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4055
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4056
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4057
4058
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4059
4060
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4061
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4064
------------------
4065
4066
CHANGES:
4067
4068
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4069
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4070
4071
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4072
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4073
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4074
(Johan Rydberg)
4075
4076
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4077
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4078
4079
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4080
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4081
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4082
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4083
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4084
4085
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4086
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4087
used. (Robert Collins)
4088
4089
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4090
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4091
(James Henstridge)
4092
4093
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4094
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4095
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4096
4097
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4098
ignore list.
4099
4100
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4101
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4102
4103
IMPROVEMENTS:
4104
4105
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4106
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4107
4108
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4109
4110
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4111
4112
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4113
tree. (Robert Collins)
4114
4115
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4116
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4117
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4118
(Robert Collins)
4119
4120
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4121
that they be kept.
4122
4123
* Tweaks to short log printing
4124
4125
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4126
(Aaron Bentley)
4127
4128
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4129
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4130
4131
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4132
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4133
4134
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4135
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4136
4137
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4138
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4139
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4140
4141
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4142
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4143
4144
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4145
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4146
requests.
4147
4148
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4149
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4150
4151
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4152
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4153
4154
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4155
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4156
4157
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4158
(Denys Duchier)
4159
4160
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4161
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4162
4163
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4164
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4165
4166
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4167
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4168
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4169
4170
BUG FIXES:
4171
4172
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4173
4174
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4175
4176
* Error when run with -OO
4177
4178
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4179
(Martin Pool)
4180
4181
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4182
4183
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4184
4185
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4186
ignored by diff and status
4187
4188
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4189
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4190
4191
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4192
4193
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4194
4195
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4196
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4197
4198
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4199
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4200
4201
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4202
(Harald Meland)
4203
4204
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4205
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4206
4207
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4208
4209
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4210
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4211
4212
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4213
(Martin Pool)
4214
4215
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4216
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4217
4218
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4219
4220
TESTING:
4221
4222
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4223
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4224
4225
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4226
4227
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4228
4229
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4230
4231
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4232
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4233
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4234
4235
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4236
4237
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4238
(John Arbash Meinel)
4239
4240
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4241
4242
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4243
If adding a new test script please add that to
4244
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4245
4246
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4247
imported. (Martin Pool)
4248
4249
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4250
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4251
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4252
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4253
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4254
(Robert Collins)
4255
4256
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4257
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4258
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4259
4260
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4261
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4262
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4263
4264
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4265
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4266
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4267
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4268
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4269
(Robert Collins).
4270
4271
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4272
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4273
(Robert Collins).
4274
4275
INTERNALS:
4276
4277
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4278
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4279
4280
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4281
function. (Robert Collins)
4282
4283
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4284
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4285
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4286
4287
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4288
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4289
(Robert Collins)
4290
4291
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4292
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4293
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4294
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4295
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4296
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4297
version. (Robert Collins)
4298
4299
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4300
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4301
4302
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4303
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4304
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4305
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4306
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4307
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4308
4309
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4310
(Robert Collins)
4311
4312
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4313
4314
add()
4315
commit()
4316
move()
4317
rename_one()
4318
unknowns()
4319
4320
(Robert Collins)
4321
4322
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4323
4324
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4325
4326
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4327
Pool)
4328
4329
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4330
query method. (Robert Collins)
4331
4332
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4333
(Denys Duchier)
4334
4335
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4336
(Michael Ellerman)
4337
4338
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4339
(Michael Ellerman)
4340
4341
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4342
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4343
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4344
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4345
4346
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4347
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4348
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4349
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4350
4351
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4352
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4353
4354
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4355
------------------
4356
4357
IMPROVEMENTS:
4358
4359
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4360
(John A Meinel)
4361
4362
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4363
conflicts.
4364
(Aaron Bentley)
4365
4366
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4367
a separator, not ':'.
4368
(Aaron Bentley)
4369
4370
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4371
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4372
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4373
4374
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4375
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4376
(Robert Collins)
4377
4378
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4379
has been added that suppresses all output.
4380
4381
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4382
Adams.
4383
4384
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4385
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4386
4387
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4388
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4389
4390
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4391
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4392
4393
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4394
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4395
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4396
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4397
4398
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4399
4400
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4401
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4402
4403
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4404
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4405
4406
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4407
output directory, if one was supplied.
4408
4409
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4410
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4411
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4412
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4413
4414
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4415
4416
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4417
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4418
4419
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4420
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4421
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4422
4423
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4424
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4425
4426
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4427
(Aaron Bentley)
4428
4429
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4430
4431
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4432
4433
TESTING:
4434
4435
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4436
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4437
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4438
4439
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4440
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4441
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4442
4443
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4444
is given. (Martin Pool)
4445
4446
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4447
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4448
file. (Robert Collins)
4449
4450
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4451
(Martin Pool)
4452
4453
INTERNALS:
4454
4455
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4456
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4457
representation. (Martin Pool).
4458
4459
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4460
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4461
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4462
4463
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4464
(Robert Collins)
4465
4466
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4467
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4468
Magnus Therning.
4469
4470
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4471
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4472
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4473
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4474
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4475
4476
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4477
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4478
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4479
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4480
python path. (Robert Collins)
4481
4482
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4483
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4484
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4485
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4486
4487
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4488
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4489
4490
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4491
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4492
(Robert Collins)
4493
4494
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4495
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4496
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4497
4498
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4499
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4500
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4501
4502
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4503
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4504
4505
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4506
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4507
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4508
(Robert Collins)
4509
4510
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4511
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4512
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4513
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4514
(Robert Collins)
4515
4516
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4517
(Robert Collins)
4518
4519
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4520
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4521
(Robert Collins)
4522
4523
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4524
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4525
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4526
4527
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4528
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4529
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4530
4531
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4532
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4533
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4534
4535
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4536
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4537
4538
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4539
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4540
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4541
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4542
caller. (Robert Collins)
4543
4544
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4545
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4546
(Robert Collins).
4547
4548
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4549
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4550
(Aaron Bentley)
4551
4552
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4553
4554
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4555
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4556
4557
BUG FIXES:
4558
4559
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4560
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4561
4562
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4563
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4567
--------------------
4568
4569
BUG FIXES:
4570
4571
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4572
allow directories to be listed.
4573
4574
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4575
upgrading branch format.
4576
4577
PERFORMANCE:
4578
4579
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4583
------------------
4584
4585
NOTES:
4586
4587
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4588
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4589
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4590
high-latency connections.
4591
4592
BUG FIXES:
4593
4594
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by

Rob Weir.
4596
4597
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4598
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4599
4600
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4601
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4602
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4603
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4604
4605
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4606
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4607
4608
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4609
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4610
4611
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4612
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4613
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4614
4615
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4616
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4617
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4618
Robert Collins
4619
4620
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4621
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4622
4623
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4624
different partial views of history.
4625
4626
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4627
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4628
4629
IMPROVEMENTS:
4630
4631
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4632
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4633
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4634
4635
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4636
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4637
'bzr upgrade'.
4638
4639
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4640
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4641
4642
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4643
Niemeyer.
4644
4645
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4646
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4647
4648
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4649
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4650
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4651
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4652
4653
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4654
4655
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4656
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4657
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4658
4659
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4660
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4661
4662
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4663
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4664
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4665
4666
4667
INTERNALS:
4668
4669
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4670
for your viewing pleasure.
4671
4672
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4673
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4674
4675
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4676
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4677
handling of such circumstances.
4678
4679
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4680
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4681
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4682
4683
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4684
4685
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4686
we call them revisions not patches.
4687
4688
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4689
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4690
4691
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4692
giving the revision *of that file*.
4693
4694
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4695
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4696
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4697
4698
TESTING:
4699
4700
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4701
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4702
4703
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4704
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4705
4706
4707
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4708
--------------------
4709
4710
BUG FIXES:
4711
4712
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4713
4714
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4715
(Robert Collins).
4716
4717
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4718
4719
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4720
4721
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4722
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4723
4724
IMPROVEMENTS:
4725
4726
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4727
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4728
4729
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4730
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4731
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4732
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4733
Robey Pointer
4734
4735
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4736
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4737
4738
INTERNALS:
4739
4740
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4741
4742
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4743
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4744
4745
4746
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4747
--------------------
4748
4749
IMPROVEMENTS:
4750
4751
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4752
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4753
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4754
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4755
Michael Ellerman.
4756
4757
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4758
(Nir Soffer)
4759
4760
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4761
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4762
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4763
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4764
for the operating system is still tried.
4765
4766
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4767
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4768
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4769
4770
4771
INTERNALS:
4772
4773
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4774
4775
BUG FIXES:
4776
4777
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4778
4779
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4780
branch.
4781
4782
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4783
read.
4784
4785
4786
PORTABILITY:
4787
4788
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4789
4790
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4791
4792
4793
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4794
--------------------
4795
4796
NEW FEATURES:
4797
4798
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4799
help with intelligent shell completion.
4800
4801
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4802
4803
4804
ENHANCEMENTS:
4805
4806
* Much better merge support.
4807
4808
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4809
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4810
like emacs smerge.
4811
4812
4813
BUG FIXES:
4814
4815
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4816
mention revisions that are not present.
4817
4818
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4819
4820
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4821
4822
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4823
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4824
4825
4826
CHANGES:
4827
4828
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4829
4830
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4831
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4832
--help themselves.
4833
4834
4835
LIBRARY:
4836
4837
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4838
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4839
libraries.
4840
4841
4842
4843
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4844
--------------------
4845
4846
NEW FEATURES:
4847
4848
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4849
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4850
4851
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4852
4853
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4854
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4855
4856
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4857
FOO.
4858
4859
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4860
4861
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4862
the Unix command.
4863
4864
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4865
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4866
4867
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4868
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4869
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4870
4871
4872
ENHANCEMENTS:
4873
4874
* Faster working tree operations.
4875
4876
4877
CHANGES:
4878
4879
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4880
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4881
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4882
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4883
4884
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4885
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4886
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4887
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4888
standard plugins directory.
4889
4890
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4891
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4892
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4893
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4894
4895
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4896
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4897
4898
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4899
disk.
4900
4901
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4902
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4903
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4904
4905
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4906
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4907
4908
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4909
line options must come before the command name because they
4910
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4911
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4912
it.
4913
4914
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4915
4916
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4917
is available with ``--short``.
4918
4919
4920
BUG FIXES:
4921
4922
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4923
4924
4925
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4926
---------------------
4927
4928
CHANGES:
4929
4930
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4931
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4932
4933
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4934
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4935
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4936
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4937
4938
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4939
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4940
with the ``--forward`` option.
4941
4942
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4943
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4944
field.
4945
4946
4947
ENHANCEMENTS:
4948
4949
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4950
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4951
4952
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4953
4954
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4955
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4956
4957
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4958
4959
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4960
either read or write mode.
4961
4962
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4963
4964
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4965
affected that file.
4966
4967
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4968
4969
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4970
suggested by LarstiQ.
4971
4972
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4973
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4974
4975
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4976
a filename.
4977
4978
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4979
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4980
4981
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4982
haven't changed since the previous time.
4983
4984
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4985
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4986
4987
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4988
4989
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4990
4991
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4992
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4993
4994
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4995
options through to an external GNU diff.
4996
4997
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4998
their contents.
4999
5000
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5001
from a branch.
5002
5003
5004
BUG FIXES:
5005
5006
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5007
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5008
5009
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5010
metacharacters.
5011
5012
5013
TESTING:
5014
5015
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5016
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5017
the tests.
5018
5019
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5020
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5021
5022
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5023
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5024
5025
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5026
under a different version.
5027
5028
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5029
5030
5031
INTERNAL:
5032
5033
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5034
5035
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5036
Scott James Remnant.
5037
5038
* Better help messages for many commands.
5039
5040
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5041
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5042
5043
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5044
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5045
5046
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5047
5048
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5049
5050
* New AtomicFile class.
5051
5052
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5053
5054
5055
PORTABILITY:
5056
5057
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5058
2.4 is now only recommended.
5059
5060
5061
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5062
---------------------
5063
5064
ENHANCEMENTS:
5065
5066
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5067
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5068
5069
* More default ignore patterns.
5070
5071
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5072
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5073
5074
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5075
5076
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5077
by Jason Diamon.
5078
5079
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5080
5081
5082
CHANGES:
5083
5084
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5085
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5086
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5087
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5088
there are DNS problems.
5089
5090
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5091
5092
5093
BUG FIXES:
5094
5095
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5096
5097
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5098
5099
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5100
trailing newlines properly.
5101
5102
5103
INTERNAL:
5104
5105
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5106
Matt Brubeck.
5107
5108
* More tests in test.sh.
5109
5110
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5111
directory and delete it when done.
5112
5113
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5114
5115
5116
PORTABILITY:
5117
5118
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5119
Bennetts.
5120
5121
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5122
from QuantumG.

5124
5125
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5126
---------------------
5127
5128
ENHANCEMENTS:
5129
5130
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5131
in the tree.
5132
5133
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5134
5135
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5136
and/or directory.
5137
5138
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5139
directory.
5140
5141
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
