IN DEVELOPMENT
8
--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
13
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
14
15
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
16
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
17
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
18
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
19
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
20
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
21
(Aaron Bentley)
22
23
FEATURES:
24
25
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
26
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
27
28
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
29
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
30
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
31
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
32
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
33
34
IMPROVEMENTS:
35
36
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
37
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
38
39
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
40
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
41
42
BUGFIXES:
43
44
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
45
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
46
47
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
48
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
49
50
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
51
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
52
53
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
54
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
55
56
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
57
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
58
59
API BREAKS:
60
61
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
62
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
63
64
TESTING:
65
66
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
67
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
68
(Vincent Ladeuil)
69
70
INTERNALS:
71
72
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
73
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
74
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
75
76
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
77
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
78
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
79
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
80
81
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
82
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
83
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
84
server. (Robert Collins)
85
86
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
87
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
88
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
89
90
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
91
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
92
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
93
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
94
95
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
96
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
97
98
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
99
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
100
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
101
102
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
103
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
104
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
105
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
106
107
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
108
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
109
110
111
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
112
------------------
113
114
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
115
116
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
117
---------------------
118
119
CHANGES:
120
121
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
122
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
123
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
124
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
125
126
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
127
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
128
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
129
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
130
131
FEATURES:
132
133
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
134
(Lukáš Lalinský)
135
136
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
137
(Aaron Bentley)
138
139
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
140
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
141
142
IMPROVEMENTS:
143
144
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
145
#90049)
146
147
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
148
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
149
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
150
151
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
152
153
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
154
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
155
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
156
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
157
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
158
159
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
160
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
161
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
162
163
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
164
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
165
166
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
167
(Vincent Ladeuil)
168
169
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
170
171
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
172
173
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
174
(Aaron Bentley)
175
176
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
177
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
178
179
BUGFIXES:
180
181
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
182
(Martin Pool, #180208)
183
184
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
186
187
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
188
(Aaron Bentley)
189
190
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
191
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
192
193
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
194
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
195
196
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
197
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
198
199
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
200
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
201
202
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
203
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
204
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
205
206
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
208
209
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
210
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
211
(Aaron Bentley)
212
213
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
214
215
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
216
user:pass embedded in the urls.
217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
218
219
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
220
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
221
222
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
223
(Aaron Bentley)
224
225
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
226
#148087)
227
228
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
229
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
230
231
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
232
#137681)
233
234
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
235
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
236
(Aaron Bentley)
237
238
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
239
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
241
242
DOCUMENTATION:
243
244
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
245
(Ian Clatworthy)
246
247
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
248
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
249
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
250
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
251
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
252
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
253
254
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
255
256
INTERNALS:
257
258
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
259
(Aaron Bentley)
260
261
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
262
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
263
264
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
265
266
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
267
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
268
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
269
Robert Collins)
270
271
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
272
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
273
274
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
275
(Vincent Ladeuil)
276
277
API BREAKS:
278
279
TESTING:
280
281
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
282
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
283
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
286
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
287
(Robert Collins)
288
289
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
290
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
291
292
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
293
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
294
295
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
296
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
297
298
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
299
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
300
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
301
302
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
303
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
304
305
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
306
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
307
308
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
309
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
310
(Vincent Ladeuil)
311
312
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
313
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
314
315
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
316
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
317
318
319
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
320
------------------
321
322
DOCUMENTATION:
323
324
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
325
326
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
327
(Ian Clatworthy)
328
329
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
330
331
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
332
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
333
(Ian Clatworthy)
334
335
336
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
337
---------------------
338
339
CHANGES:
340
341
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
342
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
343
by mail to the mailing list.
344
(Martin Pool)
345
346
BUGFIXES:
347
348
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
349
350
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
351
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
352
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
353
feedback but also incur more latency.
354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
355
356
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
357
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
358
359
DOCUMENTATION:
360
361
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
362
363
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
364
(Ian Clatworthy)
365
366
INTERNALS:
367
368
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
369
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
370
wraps its output in a StringIO.
371
(Vincent Ladeuil)
372
373
374
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
375
---------------------
376
377
IMPROVEMENTS:
378
379
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
380
381
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
382
(Aaron Bentley)
383
384
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
385
Nordhoff, #172612)
386
387
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
388
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
389
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
390
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
391
392
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
393
(Kent Gibson)
394
395
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
396
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
397
398
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
399
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
400
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
401
402
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
403
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
404
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
405
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
406
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
407
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
408
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
409
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
410
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
411
412
INTERNALS:
413
414
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
415
(Vincent Ladeuil)
416
417
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
418
419
BUGFIXES:
420
421
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
422
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
423
424
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
425
filename to user.
426
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
427
428
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
429
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
430
required.
431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
432
433
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
434
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
435
436
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
437
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
438
439
API BREAKS:
440
441
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
442
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
443
444
445
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
446
---------------------
447
448
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
449
450
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
451
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
452
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
453
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
454
455
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
456
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
457
458
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
459
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
460
461
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
462
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
463
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
464
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
465
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
466
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
467
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
468
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
469
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
470
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
471
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
472
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
476
477
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
478
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
479
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
480
481
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
482
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
483
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
484
(Martin Pool)
485
486
FEATURES:
487
488
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
489
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
490
supported transports.
491
(Vincent Ladeuil)
492
493
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
494
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
495
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
496
497
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
498
(Robert Collins, #154173)
499
500
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
501
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
502
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
503
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
504
505
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
506
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
507
508
PERFORMANCE:
509
510
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
511
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
512
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
513
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
514
515
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
516
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
517
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
518
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
519
520
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
521
(Robert Collins, #88319)
522
523
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
524
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
525
526
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
527
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
528
529
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
530
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
531
(Aaron Bentley)
532
533
IMPROVEMENTS:
534
535
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
536
(Aaron Bentley)
537
538
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
539
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
540
(Lukáš Lalinský)
541
542
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
543
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
544
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
545
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
546
547
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
548
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
549
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
550
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
551
552
DOCUMENTATION:
553
554
BUG FIXES:
555
556
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
557
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
558
559
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
560
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
561
562
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
563
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
564
565
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
566
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
567
568
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
569
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
570
571
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
572
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
573
574
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
576
577
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
578
(Aaron Bentley)
579
580
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
582
583
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
584
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
586
587
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
588
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
589
590
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
591
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
592
593
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
594
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
595
596
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
597
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
598
599
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
600
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
601
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
602
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
603
on them.
604
(Martin Pool, #164637)
605
606
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
607
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
609
610
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
611
(Robert Collins, #161240)
612
613
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
614
to be reconciled.
615
(Martin Pool, #164443)
616
617
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
618
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
619
620
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
621
specify a port in urls.
622
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
623
624
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
625
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
626
627
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
628
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
629
630
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
631
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
632
633
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
634
(Robert Collins, #153789)
635
636
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
637
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
638
(Robert Collins, #165304).
639
640
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
641
642
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
643
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
644
645
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
646
Watkins, #152811)
647
648
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
649
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
650
651
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
652
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
653
654
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
655
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
656
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
657
658
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
659
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
660
661
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
662
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
663
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
664
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
665
666
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
667
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
668
669
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
670
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
671
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
672
673
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
674
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
675
676
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
678
679
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
681
682
API BREAKS:
683
684
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
685
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
686
687
* The return value of
688
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
689
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
690
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
691
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
692
693
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
694
(Robert Collins)
695
696
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
697
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
698
format.
699
(Martin Pool)
700
701
INTERNALS:
702
703
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
704
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
705
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
706
Bennetts)
707
708
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
709
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
710
711
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

727
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
728
729
CHANGES:
730
731
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
732
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
733
734
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
735
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
736
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
737
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
738
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
739
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
740
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
741
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
742
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
743
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
744
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
745
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
746
(Robert Collins)
747
748
FEATURES:
749
750
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
751
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
752
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
753
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
754
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
755
for further details. (Robert Collins)
756
757
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
758
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
759
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
760
(Robert Collins)
761
762
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
763
764
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
765
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
766
767
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
768
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
769
(Aaron Bentley)
770
771
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
772
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
773
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
774
775
PERFORMANCE:
776
777
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
778
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
779
780
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
781
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
782
783
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
784
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
785
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
786
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
787
788
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
789
(Robert Collins)
790
791
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
792
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
793
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
794
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
795
796
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
797
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
798
799
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
800
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
801
802
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
803
the contents. (Robert Collins)
804
805
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
806
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
807
808
IMPROVEMENTS:
809
810
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
811
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
812
813
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
814
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
815
816
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
817
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
818
819
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
820
(Martin Pool, #63894)
821
822
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
823
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
824
825
DOCUMENTATION:
826
827
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
828
829
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
830
(Ian Clatworthy)
831
832
BUG FIXES:
833
834
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
835
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
836
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
837
838
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
839
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
840
841
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
842
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
843
844
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
845
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
846
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
847
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
848
849
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
850
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
851
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
852
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
853
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
854
855
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
856
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
857
paramiko.
858
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
859
860
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
861
862
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
863
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
864
865
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
866
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
867
868
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
869
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
870
871
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
872
contains a symbolic link.
873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
874
875
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
876
(James Westby, #140615)
877
878
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
879
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
880
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
881
882
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
883
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
884
(Martin Pool, #144633)
885
886
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
887
888
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
889
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
890
891
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
892
will remain opened.
893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
894
895
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
896
directory to detect leaking tests.
897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
898
899
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
900
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
901
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
902
903
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
904
(Rob Weir, #141629)
905
906
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
907
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
908
909
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
910
Merwe)
911
912
API BREAKS:
913
914
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
915
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
916
917
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
918
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
919
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
920
921
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
922
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
923
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
924
925
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
926
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
927
928
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
929
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
930
931
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
932
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
933
(Martin Pool)
934
935
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
936
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
937
938
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
939
class that needs it.
940
(Martin Pool)
941
942
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
943
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
944
945
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
946
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
947
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
948
949
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
950
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
951
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
952
(Robert Collins)
953
954
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
955
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
956
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
957
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
958

INTERNALS:
961
962
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
963
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
964
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
965
966
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
967
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
968
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
969
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
970
971
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
972
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
973
(Robert Collins)
974
975
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
976
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
977
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
978
979
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
980
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
981
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
982
983
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
984
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
985
986
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
987
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
988
to complete. (Robert Collins)
989
990
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
991
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
992
993
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
994
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
995
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
996
997
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
998
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
999
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1000
1001
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1002
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1003
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1004
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1005
1006
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1007
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1008
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1009
returned. (Robert Collins)
1010
1011
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1012
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1013
1014
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1015
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1016
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1017
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1018
(Robert Collins)
1019
1020
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1021
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1022
1023
TESTING:
1024
1025
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1026
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1027
1028
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1029
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1030
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1031
makes this behavior available to other users.
1032
(Martin Pool)
1033
1034
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1035
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

BUG FIXES:
1042
1043
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1044
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1045
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1046
1047
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1048
1049
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1050
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1051
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1052
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1053
1054
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1055
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

CHANGES:
1070
1071
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1072
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1073
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1074
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1075
(Martin Pool)
1076
1077
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1078
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1079
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1080
(Ian Clatworthy)
1081
1082
FEATURES:
1083
1084
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1085
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1086
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1087
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1088
1089
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1090
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1091
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1092
1093
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1094
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1095
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1096
1097
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1098
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1099
1100
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1101
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1102
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1103
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1104
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1105
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1106
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1107
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1108
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1109
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1110
1111
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1112
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1113
1114
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1115
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1116
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1117
1118
BUG FIXES:
1119
1120
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1121
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1122
1123
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1124
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1125
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1126
1127
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1128
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1129
1130
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1131
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1132
1133
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1134
(Aaron Bentley)
1135
1136
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1137
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1138
1139
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1140
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1141
1142
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1143
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1144
1145
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1146
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1147
1148
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1149
1150
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1151
Watkins, #106726)
1152
1153
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1154
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1155
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1156
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1157
1158
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1159
1160
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1161
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1162
#133548)
1163
1164
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1165
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1166
1167
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1168
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1169
#116143)
1170
1171
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1172
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1173
1174
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1175
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1176
1177
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1178
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1179
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1180
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1181
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1182
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1183
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1184
1185
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1186
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1187
1188
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1189
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1190
1191
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1192
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1193
1194
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1196
1197
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1198
connections.
1199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1200
1201
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1202
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1203
1204
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1205
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1206
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1207
1208
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1209
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1210
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1211
1212
IMPROVEMENTS:
1213
1214
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1215
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1216
1217
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1218
(Aaron Bentley)
1219
1220
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1221
(Aaron Bentley)
1222
1223
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1224
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1225
1226
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1227
1228
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1229
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1230
1231
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1232
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1233
1234
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1235
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1236
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1237
space). (Robert Collins)
1238
1239
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1240
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1241
(Ian Clatworthy)
1242
1243
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1244
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1245
1246
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1247
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1248
1249
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1250
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1251
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1252
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1253
1254
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1255
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1256
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1257
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1258
1259
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1260
(Ian Clatworthy)
1261
1262
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1263
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1264
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1265
1266
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1267
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1268
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1269
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1270
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1271
1272
API BREAKS:
1273
1274
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1275
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1276
1277
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1278
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1279
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1280
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1281
affected. (Robert Collins)
1282
1283
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1284
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1285
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1286
(Robert Collins)
1287
1288
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1289
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1290
1291
TESTING:
1292
1293
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1294
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1295
1296
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1297
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1298
1299
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1300
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1301
1302
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1303
(Aaron Bentley)
1304
1305
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1306
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1307
1308
INTERNALS:
1309
1310
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1311
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1312
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1313
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1314
1315
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1316
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1317
1318
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1319
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1320
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1321
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1322
1323
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1324
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1325
present. (Robert Collins)
1326
1327
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1328
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1329
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1330
API. (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1333
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1334
(Robert Collins)
1335
1336
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1337
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1338
1339
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1340
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1341
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1342
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1343
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1344
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1345
1346
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1347
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1348
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1349
1350
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1351
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1352
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1353
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1354
protocol.
1355
1356
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1357
(Aaron Bentley)
1358
1359
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1360
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1361
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1362
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1363
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1364
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1365
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1366
1367
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1368
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1369
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1370
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1371
1372
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1373
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1374
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1375
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1376
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1377
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1378
1379
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1380
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1381
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1382
1383
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1384
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1389
1390
IMPROVEMENTS:
1391
1392
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1393
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1394
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1395
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1396
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1397
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1398
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

API CHANGES:
1403
1404
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``

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

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

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1948
1949
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1950
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1951
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1952
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1953
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1954
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1955
and unlock() like so::
1956
1957
work_tree.lock_read()
1958
try:
1959
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1960
finally:
1961
work_tree.unlock()
1962
1963
INTERNALS:
1964
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1965
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1966
object.
1967
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1968
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1969
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1970
1971
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1972
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1973
too. (Robert Collins)
1974
1975
IMPROVEMENTS:
1976
1977
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1978
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1979
Aaron Bentley)
1980
1981
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1982
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1983
1984
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1985
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1986
1987
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1988
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1989
understanding what changes have occurred
1990
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1991
1992
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1993
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1994
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1995
1996
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1997
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1998
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1999
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2000
2001
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2002
#56322)
2003
2004
BUGFIXES:
2005
2006
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2007
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2008
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2009
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2010
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2011
2012
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2013
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2014
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2015
2016
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2018
2019
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2020
into account.
2021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2022
2023
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2024
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2025
2026
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2027
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2028
2029
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2030
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2031
2032
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2033
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2034
2035
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2036
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2037
2038
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2039
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2040
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

--------------------
2044
2045
BUGFIXES:
2046
2047
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2048
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2049
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2050
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2051
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2052
2053
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2054
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2055
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2056
2057
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2058
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2059
2060
IMPROVEMENTS:
2061
2062
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2063
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2064
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2065
2066
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2067
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2068
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2069
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
2075
2076
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2077
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2078
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2079
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2080
2081
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2082
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2083
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2084
2085
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.

2090
2091
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

2097
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2098
2099
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2100
it could be recovered again.
2101
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2102
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2103
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2104
but not delete it.
2105
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2106
files.
2107
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2108
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2109
2110
IMPROVEMENTS:
2111
2112
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2113
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2114
2115
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2116
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2117
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2118
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2119
2120
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2121
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2122
2123
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2124
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2125
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2126
2127
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2128
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2129
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2130
2131
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2132
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2133
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2134
2135
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2136
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2137
Robert Collins)
2138
2139
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2140
Pool)
2141
2142
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2143
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2144
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2145
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2146
2147
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2148
(Robert Collins)
2149
2150
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2151
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2152
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2153
(Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2156
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2157
2158
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2159
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2160
2161
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2162
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2163
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2164
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2165
(Robert Collins)
2166
2167
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2168
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2169
2170
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2171
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2172
2173
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2174
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2175
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2176
2177
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2178
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2179
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2180
2181
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2182
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2183
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2186
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2187
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2188
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2189
2190
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2191
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2192
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2193
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2194
2195
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2196
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2197
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2198
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2199
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2200
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2201
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2202
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2203
header(s).
2204
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2205
2206
INTERNALS:
2207
2208
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2209
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2212
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2213
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2214
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2215
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2216
2217
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2218
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2219
2220
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2221
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2222
2223
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2224
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2225
2226
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2227
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2228
2229
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2230
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2231
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2232
(Robert Collins).
2233
2234
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2235
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2236
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2237
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2238
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2239
(Robert Collins)
2240
2241
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2242
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2243
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2244
2245
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2246
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2247
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2248
2249
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2250
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2251
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2252
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2253
2254
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2255
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2256
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2257
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2258
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2259
2260
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2261
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2262
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2263
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2264
2265
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2266
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2267
2268
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2269
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2270
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2271
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2272
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2273
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2274
2275
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2276
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2277
2278
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2279
help. (Robert Collins)
2280
2281
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2282
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2283
2284
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2285
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2286
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2287
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2288
(John Arbash Meinel)
2289
2290
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2291
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2292
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2293
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2294
useful. (Robert Collins)
2295
2296
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2297
(Andrew Bennetts)
2298
2299
BUGFIXES:
2300
2301
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2302
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2303
2304
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2305
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2306
2307
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2308
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2309
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2310
2311
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2312
(Aaron Bentley)
2313
2314
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2315
the file, and does it faster.
2316
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2317
2318
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2319
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2320
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2321
2322
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2323
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2324
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2325
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2326
2327
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2328
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2329
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2330
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2331
2332
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2333
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2334
2335
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2336
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2337
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2338
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2339
Arbash Meinel)
2340
2341
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2342
2343
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2344
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2345
2346
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2347
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2348
2349
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2350
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2351
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2352
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2353
security hole.
2354
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2355
2356
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2358
2359
TESTING:
2360
2361
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2362
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2363
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2364
2365
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2366
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2367
2368
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2369
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2370
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2371
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2372
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2373
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2374
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2375
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2376
2377
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2378
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2379
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2380
2381
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2382
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2383
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2384
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2385
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2386
access.
2387
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2388
2389
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2390
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2391
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2392
2393
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2394
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2412
CHANGES:
2413
2414
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2415
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2416
(Martin Pool)
2417
2418
IMPROVEMENTS:
2419
2420
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2421
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2422
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2423
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2424
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2425
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2426
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2427
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2428
path. (vila)
2429
2430
INTERNALS:
2431
2432
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2433
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2434
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2435
2436
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2437
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2438
(Martin Pool)
2439
2440
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2441
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2442
(John Arbash Meinel)
2443
2444
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2445
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2446
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2447
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2448
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2449
2450
BUGFIXES:
2451
2452
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2453
(vila, #92195)
2454
2455
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2456
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2457
2458
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2459
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2460
2461
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2462
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2463
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2464
2465
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2466
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2467
2468
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2469
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2470
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2471
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2472
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2473
2474
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2475
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2476
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2477
2478
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2482
-----------------------
2483
2484
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2485
2486
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2487
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2488
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2489
2490
IMPROVEMENTS:
2491
2492
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2493
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2494
2495
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2496
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2497
2498
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2499
2500
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2501
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2502
2503
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2504
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2505
2506
INTERNALS:
2507
2508
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2509
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2510
2511
BUGFIXES:
2512
2513
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2514
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2515
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2516
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2517
2518
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2519
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2520
2521
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2522
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2523
2524
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2525
(Marien Zwart)
2526
2527
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

2531
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2532
-----------------------
2533
2534
SURPRISES:
2535
2536
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2537
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2538
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2539
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2540
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2541
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2542
2543
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2544
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2545
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2546
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2547
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2548
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2549
development.
2550
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2551
2552
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2553
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2554
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2555
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2556
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2557
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2558
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2559
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2560
2561
IMPROVEMENTS:
2562
2563
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2564
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2565
2566
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2567
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2568
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2569
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2570
does exist.
2571
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2572
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2573
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2574
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2575
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2576
2577
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2578
(Aaron Bentley)
2579
2580
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2581
(Aaron Bentley)
2582
2583
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2584
(Robert Collins)
2585
2586
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2587
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2588
(Aaron Bentley)
2589
2590
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2591
(Aaron Bentley)
2592
2593
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2594
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2595
2596
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2597
directory. (Martin Pool)
2598
2599
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2600
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2601
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2602
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2603
2604
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2605
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2606
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2607
in docs/configuration.txt.
2608
2609
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2610
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2611
bind location.
2612
2613
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2614
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2615
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2616
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2617
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2618
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2619
2620
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2621
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2622
2623
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2624
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2625
2626
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2627
(Aaron Bentley)
2628
2629
INTERNALS:
2630
2631
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2632
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2633
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2634
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2635
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2636
(John Arbash Meinel)
2637
2638
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2639
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2640
(Aaron Bentley)
2641
2642
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2643
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2644
(John Arbash Meinel)
2645
2646
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2647
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2648
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2649
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2650
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2651
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2652
2653
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2654
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2655
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2656
2657
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2658
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2659
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2660
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2661
repository.
2662
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2663
2664
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2665
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2666
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2667
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2668
2669
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2670
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2671
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2672
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2673
2674
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2675
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2676
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2677
2678
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2679
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2680
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2681
2682
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2683
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2684
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2685
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2686
2687
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2688
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2689
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2690
2691
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2692
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2693
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2694
2695
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2696
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2697
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2698
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2699
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2700
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2701
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2702
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2703
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2704
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2705
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2706
2707
BUGFIXES:
2708
2709
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2710
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2711
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2712
2713
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2714
(Aaron Bentley)
2715
2716
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2717
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2718
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2719
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2720
2721
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2722
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2723
#83954).
2724
2725
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2726
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2727
2728
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2729
2730
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2731
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2732
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2733
2734
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2735
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2736
2737
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2738
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2739
2740
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2742
2743
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2744
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2745
2746
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2747
2748
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2749
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2750
2751
TESTING:
2752
2753
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2754
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

2763
2764
BUG FIXES:
2765
2766
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not

* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2771
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2772
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

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

2915
IMPROVEMENTS:
2916
2917
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2918
tree from a branch.
2919
(Daniel Silverstone)
2920
2921
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2922
operations are substantially faster.
2923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2924
2925
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2926
tree from some other url. For example:
2927
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2928
(Daniel Silverstone)
2929
2930
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2931
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2932
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2933
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2934
2935
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2936
(Andrew Bennetts)
2937
2938
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2939
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2940
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2941
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2942
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2943
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2944
2945
INTERNALS:
2946
2947
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2948
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2949
(Martin Pool)
2950
2951
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2952
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2953
(John Arbash Meinel)
2954
2955
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2956
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2957
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2958
(John Arbash Meinel)
2959
2960
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2961
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2962
2963
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2964
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2965
2966
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2967
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2968
Bennetts)
2969
2970
BUG FIXES:
2971
2972
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2973
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2974
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2975
2976
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2977
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2978
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2979
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2980
2981
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2982
2983
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2984
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2985
2986
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2987
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2988
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2989
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2990
2991
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2992
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2993
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2994
2995
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2996
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2997
them as full references rather than integers.
2998
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2999
3000
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3001
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3002
3003
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3004
3005
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3006
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3007
3008
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3009
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3010
3011
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3012
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3013
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3014
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3015
3016
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3017
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3018
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3019
3020
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3021
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3022
3023
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3024
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3025
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3026
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3027
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3028
3029
TESTING:
3030
3031
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3032
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3035
--------------------
3036
3037
INTERNALS:
3038
3039
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3040
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3041
(John Arbash Meinel)
3042
3043
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3044
-----------------------
3045
3046
IMPROVEMENTS:
3047
3048
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3049
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3050
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3051
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3052
3053
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3054
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3055
3056
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3057
3058
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3059
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3060
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3061
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3062
3063
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3064
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3065
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3066
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3067
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3068
3069
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3070
3071
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3072
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3073
3074
INTERNALS:
3075
3076
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3077
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3078
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3079
3080
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3081
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3082
(John Arbash Meinel)
3083
3084
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3085
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3086
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3087
3088
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3089
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3090
(Aaron Bentley)
3091
3092
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3093
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3094
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3095
3096
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3097
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3098
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3099
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3100
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3101
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3102
3103
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3104
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3105
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3106
(Robert Collins)
3107
3108
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3109
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3110
3111
BUG FIXES:
3112
3113
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3114
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3115
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3116
#63360, #66349)
3117
3118
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3119
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3120
3121
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3122
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3123
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3124
3125
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3126
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3127
3128
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3129
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3130
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3131
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3132
3133
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3134
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3135
3136
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3137
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3138
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3139
3140
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3141
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3142
3143
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3144
3145
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3146
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3147
#32054)
3148
3149
TESTING:
3150
3151
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3152
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3153
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3154
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3155
3156
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3157
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3158
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3159

bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

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

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

3718
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3719
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3720
3721
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3722
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

3733
3734
CHANGES:
3735
3736
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3737
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3738
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3739
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3740
3741
NEW FEATURES:
3742
3743
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3744

INTERNALS:
3748
3749
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3752
3753
TESTING:

3758
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3759
-------------------
3760
3761
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3762
3763
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3764
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3765
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3766
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3767
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3768
will keep the same format.
3769
3770
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3771
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3772
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3773
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3774
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3775
3776
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3777
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3778
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3779
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3780
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3781
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3782
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3783
3784
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3785
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3786
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3787
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3788
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3789
3790
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3791
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3792
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3793
arrangement.
3794
3795
3796
IMPROVEMENTS:
3797
3798
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3799
convention. Paths now take the form::
3800
3801
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3802
or
3803
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3804
3805
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3806
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3807
3808
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3809
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3810
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3811
3812
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3813
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3814
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3815
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3816
3817
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3818
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3819
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3820
3821
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3822
3823
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3824
3825
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3826
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3827
commits::
3828
3829
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3830
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3831
| xargs bzr re-sign
3832
3833
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3834
3835
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3836
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3837
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3838
(Robert Collins)
3839
3840
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3841
3842
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3843
3844
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3845
'.moved'.
3846
3847
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3848
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3849
3850
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3851
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3852
Daniel Silverstone)
3853
3854
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3855
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3856
Martin Pool)
3857
3858
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3859
3860
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3861
3862
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3863
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3864
3865
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3866
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3867
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3868
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3869
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3870
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3871
3872
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3873
3874
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3875
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3876
(Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3879
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3880
3881
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3882
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3883
3884
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3885
3886
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3887
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3888
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3889
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3890
specification by Martin Pool.
3891
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3892
3893
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3894
Belchenko)
3895
3896
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3897
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3898
3899
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3900
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3901
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3902
3903
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3904
3905
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3906
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3907
(Robert Collins)
3908
3909
CHANGES:
3910
3911
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3912
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3913
3914
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3915
3916
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3917
3918
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3919
(Olaf Conradi)
3920
3921
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3922
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3923
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3924
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3925
3926
INTERNALS:
3927
3928
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3929
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3930
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3931
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3932
3933
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3934
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3935
tried. (Martin Pool)
3936
3937
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3938
(Martin Pool)
3939
3940
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3941
3942
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3943
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3944
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3945
3946
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3947
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3948
3949
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3950
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3951
paths. (Robert Collins)
3952
3953
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3954
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3955
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3956
3957
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3958
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3959
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3962
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3963
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3964
3965
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3966
(Olaf Conradi)
3967
3968
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3969
(Olaf Conradi)
3970
3971
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3972
3973
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3974
3975
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3976
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3977
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3978
(Robert Collins)
3979
3980
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3981
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3982
3983
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3984
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3985
check. (Robert Collins)
3986
3987
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3988
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3989
3990
TESTING:
3991
3992
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3993
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3994
3995
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3996
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3997
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3998
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3999
4000
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4001
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4002
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4003
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4004
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4005
4006
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4007
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4008
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4009
4010
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4011
4012
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4013
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4014

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4016
------------------
4017
4018
CHANGES:
4019
4020
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4021
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4022
4023
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4024
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4025
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4026
(Johan Rydberg)
4027
4028
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4029
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4030
4031
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4032
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4033
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4034
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4035
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4036
4037
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4038
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4039
used. (Robert Collins)
4040
4041
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4042
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4043
(James Henstridge)
4044
4045
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4046
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4047
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4048
4049
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4050
ignore list.
4051
4052
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4053
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4054
4055
IMPROVEMENTS:
4056
4057
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4058
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4059
4060
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4061
4062
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4063
4064
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4065
tree. (Robert Collins)
4066
4067
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4068
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4069
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4070
(Robert Collins)
4071
4072
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4073
that they be kept.
4074
4075
* Tweaks to short log printing
4076
4077
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4078
(Aaron Bentley)
4079
4080
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4081
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4082
4083
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4084
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4085
4086
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4087
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4088
4089
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4090
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4091
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4092
4093
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4094
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4095
4096
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4097
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4098
requests.
4099
4100
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4101
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4102
4103
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4104
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4105
4106
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4107
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4108
4109
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4110
(Denys Duchier)
4111
4112
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4113
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4114
4115
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4116
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4117
4118
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4119
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4120
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4121
4122
BUG FIXES:
4123
4124
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4125
4126
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4127
4128
* Error when run with -OO
4129
4130
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4131
(Martin Pool)
4132
4133
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4134
4135
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4136
4137
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4138
ignored by diff and status
4139
4140
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4141
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4142
4143
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4144
4145
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4146
4147
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4148
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4149
4150
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4151
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4152
4153
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4154
(Harald Meland)
4155
4156
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4157
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4158
4159
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4160
4161
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4162
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4163
4164
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4165
(Martin Pool)
4166
4167
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4168
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4169
4170
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4171
4172
TESTING:
4173
4174
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4175
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4176
4177
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4178
4179
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4180
4181
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4182
4183
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4184
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4185
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4186
4187
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4188
4189
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4190
(John Arbash Meinel)
4191
4192
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4193
4194
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4195
If adding a new test script please add that to
4196
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4197
4198
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4199
imported. (Martin Pool)
4200
4201
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4202
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4203
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4204
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4205
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4206
(Robert Collins)
4207
4208
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4209
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4210
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4211
4212
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4213
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4214
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4215
4216
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4217
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4218
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4219
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4220
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4221
(Robert Collins).
4222
4223
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4224
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4225
(Robert Collins).
4226
4227
INTERNALS:
4228
4229
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4230
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4231
4232
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4233
function. (Robert Collins)
4234
4235
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4236
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4237
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4238
4239
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4240
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4241
(Robert Collins)
4242
4243
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4244
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4245
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4246
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4247
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4248
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4249
version. (Robert Collins)
4250
4251
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4252
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4253
4254
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4255
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4256
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4257
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4258
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4259
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4260
4261
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4262
(Robert Collins)
4263
4264
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4265
4266
add()
4267
commit()
4268
move()
4269
rename_one()
4270
unknowns()
4271
4272
(Robert Collins)
4273
4274
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4275
4276
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4277
4278
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4279
Pool)
4280
4281
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4282
query method. (Robert Collins)
4283
4284
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4285
(Denys Duchier)
4286
4287
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4288
(Michael Ellerman)
4289
4290
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4291
(Michael Ellerman)
4292
4293
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4294
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4295
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4296
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4297
4298
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4299
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4300
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4301
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4302
4303
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4304
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4305
4306
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4307
------------------
4308
4309
IMPROVEMENTS:
4310
4311
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4312
(John A Meinel)
4313
4314
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4315
conflicts.
4316
(Aaron Bentley)
4317
4318
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4319
a separator, not ':'.
4320
(Aaron Bentley)
4321
4322
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4323
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4324
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4325
4326
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4327
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4328
(Robert Collins)
4329
4330
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4331
has been added that suppresses all output.
4332
4333
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4334
Adams.
4335
4336
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4337
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4338
4339
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4340
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4341
4342
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4343
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4344
4345
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4346
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4347
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4348
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4349
4350
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4351
4352
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4353
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4354
4355
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4356
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4357
4358
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4359
output directory, if one was supplied.
4360
4361
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4362
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4363
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4364
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4365
4366
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4367
4368
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4369
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4370
4371
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4372
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4373
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4374
4375
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4376
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4377
4378
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4379
(Aaron Bentley)
4380
4381
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4382
4383
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4384
4385
TESTING:
4386
4387
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4388
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4389
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4390
4391
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4392
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4393
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4396
is given. (Martin Pool)
4397
4398
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4399
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4400
file. (Robert Collins)
4401
4402
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4403
(Martin Pool)
4404
4405
INTERNALS:
4406
4407
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4408
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4409
representation. (Martin Pool).
4410
4411
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4412
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4413
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4414
4415
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4416
(Robert Collins)
4417
4418
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4419
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4420
Magnus Therning.
4421
4422
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4423
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4424
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4425
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4426
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4427
4428
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4429
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4430
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4431
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4432
python path. (Robert Collins)
4433
4434
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4435
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4436
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4437
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4438
4439
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4440
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4441
4442
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4443
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4444
(Robert Collins)
4445
4446
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4447
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4448
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4449
4450
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4451
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4452
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4455
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4456
4457
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4458
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4459
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4460
(Robert Collins)
4461
4462
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4463
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4464
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4465
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4466
(Robert Collins)
4467
4468
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4469
(Robert Collins)
4470
4471
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4472
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4473
(Robert Collins)
4474
4475
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4476
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4477
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4478
4479
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4480
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4481
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4482
4483
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4484
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4485
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4486
4487
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4488
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4489
4490
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4491
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4492
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4493
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4494
caller. (Robert Collins)
4495
4496
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4497
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4498
(Robert Collins).
4499
4500
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4501
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4502
(Aaron Bentley)
4503
4504
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4505
4506
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4507
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4508
4509
BUG FIXES:
4510
4511
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4512
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4513
4514
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4515
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4518
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4519
--------------------
4520
4521
BUG FIXES:
4522
4523
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4524
allow directories to be listed.
4525
4526
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4527
upgrading branch format.
4528
4529
PERFORMANCE:
4530
4531
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

4533
4534
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4535
------------------
4536
4537
NOTES:
4538
4539
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4540
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4541
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4542
high-latency connections.
4543
4544
BUG FIXES:
4545
4546
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4547
Rob Weir.
4548
4549
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4550
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4551
4552
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4553
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4554
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4555
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4556
4557
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4558
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4559
4560
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4561
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4562
4563
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4564
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4565
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4566
4567
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4568
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4569
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4570
Robert Collins
4571
4572
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4573
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4574
4575
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4576
different partial views of history.
4577
4578
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4579
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4580
4581
IMPROVEMENTS:
4582
4583
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4584
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4585
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4586
4587
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4588
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4589
'bzr upgrade'.
4590
4591
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4592
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4593
4594
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4595
Niemeyer.

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

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5014
---------------------
5015
5016
ENHANCEMENTS:
5017
5018
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5019
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5020
5021
* More default ignore patterns.
5022
5023
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5024
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5025
5026
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5027
5028
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5029
by Jason Diamon.
5030
5031
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5032
5033
5034
CHANGES:
5035
5036
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5037
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5038
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5039
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5040
there are DNS problems.
5041
5042
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5043
5044
5045
BUG FIXES:
5046
5047
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5048
5049
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5050
5051
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5052
trailing newlines properly.
5053
5054
5055
INTERNAL:
5056
5057
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5058
Matt Brubeck.
5059
5060
* More tests in test.sh.
5061
5062
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5063
directory and delete it when done.
5064
5065
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5066
5067
5068
PORTABILITY:
5069
5070
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5071
Bennetts.
5072
5073
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5074
from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5078
---------------------
5079
5080
ENHANCEMENTS:
5081
5082
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5083
in the tree.
5084
5085
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5086
5087
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5088
and/or directory.
5089
5090
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5091
directory.
5092
5093
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5094
5095
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5096
5097
CHANGES:
5098
5099
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5100
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5101
will do for now.)
5102
5103
PORTABILITY:
5104
5105
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5106
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5107
Nielsen.
5108
5109
INTERNAL:
5110
5111
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5112
5113
TESTING:
5114
5115
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5127
-----------------------------------
5128
5129
ENHANCEMENTS:
5130
5131
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5132
5133
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5134
rather than replacing it.
5135
5136
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5137
5138
* More help topics.
5139
5140
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5141
branch.
5142
5143
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5144
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5145
5146
* Performance improvements.
5147
5148
* New global --profile option.
5149
5150
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5151
the root directory only.
5152
