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
* pull --quiet is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
60
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
61
#185907)
62
63
API BREAKS:
64
65
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
66
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
67
68
TESTING:
69
70
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
71
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
72
(Vincent Ladeuil)
73
74
INTERNALS:
75
76
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
77
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
78
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
79
80
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
81
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
82
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
83
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
84
85
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
86
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
87
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
88
server. (Robert Collins)
89
90
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
91
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
92
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
93
94
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
95
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
96
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
97
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
98
99
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
100
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
101
102
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
103
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
104
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
105
106
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
107
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
108
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
109
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
110
111
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
112
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
113
114
115
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
116
------------------
117
118
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
119
120
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
121
---------------------
122
123
CHANGES:
124
125
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
126
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
127
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
128
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
129
130
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
131
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
132
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
133
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
134
135
FEATURES:
136
137
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
138
(Lukáš Lalinský)
139
140
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
141
(Aaron Bentley)
142
143
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
144
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
145
146
IMPROVEMENTS:
147
148
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
149
#90049)
150
151
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
152
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
153
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
154
155
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
156
157
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
158
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
159
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
160
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
161
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
162
163
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
164
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
165
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
166
167
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
168
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
169
170
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
171
(Vincent Ladeuil)
172
173
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
174
175
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
176
177
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
178
(Aaron Bentley)
179
180
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
181
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
182
183
BUGFIXES:
184
185
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
186
(Martin Pool, #180208)
187
188
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
190
191
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
192
(Aaron Bentley)
193
194
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
195
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
196
197
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
198
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
199
200
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
201
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
202
203
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
204
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
205
206
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
207
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
208
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
209
210
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
212
213
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
214
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
215
(Aaron Bentley)
216
217
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
218
219
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
220
user:pass embedded in the urls.
221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
222
223
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
224
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
225
226
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
227
(Aaron Bentley)
228
229
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
230
#148087)
231
232
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
233
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
234
235
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
236
#137681)
237
238
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
239
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
240
(Aaron Bentley)
241
242
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
243
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
245
246
DOCUMENTATION:
247
248
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
249
(Ian Clatworthy)
250
251
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
252
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
253
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
254
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
255
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
256
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
257
258
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
259
260
INTERNALS:
261
262
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
263
(Aaron Bentley)
264
265
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
266
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
267
268
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
269
270
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
271
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
272
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
273
Robert Collins)
274
275
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
276
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
277
278
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
279
(Vincent Ladeuil)
280
281
API BREAKS:
282
283
TESTING:
284
285
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
286
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
287
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
288
289
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
290
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
291
(Robert Collins)
292
293
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
294
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
295
296
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
297
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
298
299
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
300
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
301
302
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
303
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
304
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
305
306
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
307
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
308
309
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
310
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
311
312
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
313
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
314
(Vincent Ladeuil)
315
316
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
317
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
318
319
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
320
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
321
322
323
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
324
------------------
325
326
DOCUMENTATION:
327
328
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
329
330
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
331
(Ian Clatworthy)
332
333
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
334
335
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
336
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
337
(Ian Clatworthy)
338
339
340
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
341
---------------------
342
343
CHANGES:
344
345
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
346
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
347
by mail to the mailing list.
348
(Martin Pool)
349
350
BUGFIXES:
351
352
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
353
354
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
355
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
356
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
357
feedback but also incur more latency.
358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
359
360
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
361
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
362
363
DOCUMENTATION:
364
365
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
366
367
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
368
(Ian Clatworthy)
369
370
INTERNALS:
371
372
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
373
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
374
wraps its output in a StringIO.
375
(Vincent Ladeuil)
376
377
378
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
379
---------------------
380
381
IMPROVEMENTS:
382
383
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
384
385
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
386
(Aaron Bentley)
387
388
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
389
Nordhoff, #172612)
390
391
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
392
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
393
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
394
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
395
396
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
397
(Kent Gibson)
398
399
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
400
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
401
402
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
403
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
404
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
405
406
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
407
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
408
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
409
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
410
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
411
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
412
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
413
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
414
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
415
416
INTERNALS:
417
418
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
419
(Vincent Ladeuil)
420
421
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
422
423
BUGFIXES:
424
425
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
426
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
427
428
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
429
filename to user.
430
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
431
432
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
433
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
434
required.
435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
436
437
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
438
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
439
440
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
441
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
442
443
API BREAKS:
444
445
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
446
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
447
448
449
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
450
---------------------
451
452
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
453
454
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
455
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
456
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
457
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
458
459
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
460
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
461
462
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
463
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
464
465
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
466
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
467
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
468
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
469
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
470
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
471
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
472
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
473
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
474
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
475
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
476
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
480
481
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
482
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
483
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
484
485
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
486
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
487
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
488
(Martin Pool)
489
490
FEATURES:
491
492
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
493
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
494
supported transports.
495
(Vincent Ladeuil)
496
497
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
498
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
499
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
500
501
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
502
(Robert Collins, #154173)
503
504
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
505
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
506
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
507
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
508
509
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
510
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
511
512
PERFORMANCE:
513
514
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
515
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
516
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
517
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
518
519
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
520
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
521
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
522
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
523
524
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
525
(Robert Collins, #88319)
526
527
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
528
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
529
530
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
531
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
532
533
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
534
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
535
(Aaron Bentley)
536
537
IMPROVEMENTS:
538
539
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
540
(Aaron Bentley)
541
542
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
543
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
544
(Lukáš Lalinský)
545
546
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
547
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
548
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
549
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
550
551
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
552
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
553
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
554
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
555
556
DOCUMENTATION:
557
558
BUG FIXES:
559
560
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
561
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
562
563
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
564
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
565
566
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
567
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
568
569
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
571
572
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
573
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
574
575
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
576
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
577
578
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
580
581
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
582
(Aaron Bentley)
583
584
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
586
587
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
588
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
590
591
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
592
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
593
594
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
595
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
596
597
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
598
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
599
600
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
602
603
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
604
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
605
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
606
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
607
on them.
608
(Martin Pool, #164637)
609
610
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
611
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
612
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
613
614
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
615
(Robert Collins, #161240)
616
617
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
618
to be reconciled.
619
(Martin Pool, #164443)
620
621
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
622
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
623
624
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
625
specify a port in urls.
626
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
627
628
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
629
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
630
631
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
632
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
633
634
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
635
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
636
637
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
638
(Robert Collins, #153789)
639
640
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
641
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
642
(Robert Collins, #165304).
643
644
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
645
646
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
647
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
648
649
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
650
Watkins, #152811)
651
652
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
653
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
654
655
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
656
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
657
658
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
659
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
660
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
661
662
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
663
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
664
665
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
666
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
667
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
668
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
669
670
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
671
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
672
673
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
674
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
675
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
676
677
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
678
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
679
680
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
682
683
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
684
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
685
686
API BREAKS:
687
688
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
689
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
690
691
* The return value of
692
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
693
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
694
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
695
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
696
697
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
698
(Robert Collins)
699
700
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
701
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
702
format.
703
(Martin Pool)
704
705
INTERNALS:
706
707
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
708
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
709
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
710
Bennetts)
711
712
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
713
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
714
715
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

731
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
732
733
CHANGES:
734
735
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
736
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
737
738
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
739
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
740
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
741
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
742
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
743
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
744
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
745
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
746
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
747
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
748
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
749
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
750
(Robert Collins)
751
752
FEATURES:
753
754
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
755
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
756
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
757
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
758
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
759
for further details. (Robert Collins)
760
761
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
762
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
763
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
764
(Robert Collins)
765
766
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
767
768
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
769
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
770
771
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
772
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
773
(Aaron Bentley)
774
775
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
776
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
777
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
778
779
PERFORMANCE:
780
781
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
782
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
783
784
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
785
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
786
787
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
788
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
789
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
790
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
791
792
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
793
(Robert Collins)
794
795
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
796
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
797
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
798
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
799
800
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
801
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
802
803
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
804
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
805
806
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
807
the contents. (Robert Collins)
808
809
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
810
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
811
812
IMPROVEMENTS:
813
814
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
815
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
816
817
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
818
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
819
820
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
821
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
822
823
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
824
(Martin Pool, #63894)
825
826
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
827
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
828
829
DOCUMENTATION:
830
831
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
832
833
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
834
(Ian Clatworthy)
835
836
BUG FIXES:
837
838
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
839
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
840
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
841
842
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
843
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
844
845
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
846
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
847
848
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
849
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
850
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
851
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
852
853
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
854
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
855
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
856
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
857
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
858
859
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
860
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
861
paramiko.
862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
863
864
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
865
866
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
867
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
868
869
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
870
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
871
872
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
874
875
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
876
contains a symbolic link.
877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
878
879
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
880
(James Westby, #140615)
881
882
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
883
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
884
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
885
886
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
887
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
888
(Martin Pool, #144633)
889
890
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
891
892
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
894
895
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
896
will remain opened.
897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
898
899
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
900
directory to detect leaking tests.
901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
902
903
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
904
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
905
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
906
907
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
908
(Rob Weir, #141629)
909
910
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
911
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
912
913
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
914
Merwe)
915
916
API BREAKS:
917
918
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
919
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
920
921
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
922
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
923
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
924
925
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
926
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
927
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
928
929
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
930
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
931
932
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
933
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
934
935
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
936
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
937
(Martin Pool)
938
939
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
940
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
941
942
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
943
class that needs it.
944
(Martin Pool)
945
946
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
947
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
948
949
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
950
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
951
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
952
953
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
954
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
955
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
956
(Robert Collins)
957
958
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
959
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
960
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
961
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
962
(Robert Collins)
963
964
INTERNALS:
965
966
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
967
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
968
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
969
970
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
971
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
972
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
973
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
974
975
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
976
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
977
(Robert Collins)
978
979
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
980
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
981
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
982
983
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
984
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
985
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
986
987
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
988
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
989
990
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
991
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
992
to complete. (Robert Collins)
993
994
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
995
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
996
997
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
998
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
999
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1000
1001
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1002
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1003
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1004
1005
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1006
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1007
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1008
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1009
1010
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1011
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1012
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1013
returned. (Robert Collins)
1014
1015
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1016
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1017
1018
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1019
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1020
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1021
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1022
(Robert Collins)
1023
1024
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1025
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1026
1027
TESTING:
1028
1029
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1030
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1031
1032
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1033
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1034
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1035
makes this behavior available to other users.
1036
(Martin Pool)
1037
1038
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1039
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1045
BUG FIXES:
1046
1047
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1048
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1049
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1050
1051
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1052
1053
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1054
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1055
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1056
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1057
1058
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1059
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

1063
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1064
----------------------
1065

1067
in bzrlib/remote.py.

1071
----------------------
1072
1073
CHANGES:
1074
1075
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1076
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1077
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1078
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1079
(Martin Pool)
1080
1081
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1082
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1083
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1084
(Ian Clatworthy)
1085
1086
FEATURES:
1087
1088
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1089
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1090
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1091
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1092
1093
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1094
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1095
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1096
1097
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1098
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1099
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1100
1101
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1102
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1103
1104
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1105
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1106
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1107
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1108
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1109
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1110
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1111
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1112
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1113
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1114
1115
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1116
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1117
1118
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1119
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1120
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1121
1122
BUG FIXES:
1123
1124
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1125
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1126
1127
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1128
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1129
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1130
1131
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1132
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1133
1134
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1135
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1136
1137
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1138
(Aaron Bentley)
1139
1140
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1141
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1142
1143
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1144
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1145
1146
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1147
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1148
1149
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1150
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1151
1152
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1153
1154
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1155
Watkins, #106726)
1156
1157
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1158
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1159
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1160
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1161
1162
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1163
1164
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1165
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1166
#133548)
1167
1168
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1169
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1170
1171
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1172
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1173
#116143)
1174
1175
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1176
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1177
1178
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1179
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1180
1181
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1182
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1183
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1184
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1185
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1186
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1187
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1188
1189
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1190
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1191
1192
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1193
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1194
1195
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1196
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1197
1198
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1200
1201
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1202
connections.
1203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1204
1205
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1206
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1207
1208
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1209
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1210
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1211
1212
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1213
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1214
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1215
1216
IMPROVEMENTS:
1217
1218
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1219
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1220
1221
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1222
(Aaron Bentley)
1223
1224
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1225
(Aaron Bentley)
1226
1227
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1228
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1229
1230
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1231
1232
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1233
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1234
1235
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1236
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1237
1238
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1239
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1240
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1241
space). (Robert Collins)
1242
1243
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1244
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1245
(Ian Clatworthy)
1246
1247
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1248
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1249
1250
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1251
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1252
1253
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1254
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1255
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1256
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1257
1258
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1259
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1260
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1261
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1262
1263
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1264
(Ian Clatworthy)
1265
1266
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1267
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1268
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1269
1270
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1271
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1272
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1273
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1274
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1275
1276
API BREAKS:
1277
1278
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1279
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1280
1281
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1282
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1283
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1284
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1285
affected. (Robert Collins)
1286
1287
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1288
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1289
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1290
(Robert Collins)
1291
1292
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1293
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1294
1295
TESTING:
1296
1297
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1298
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1299
1300
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1301
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1302
1303
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1304
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1305
1306
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1307
(Aaron Bentley)
1308
1309
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1310
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1311
1312
INTERNALS:
1313
1314
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1315
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1316
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1317
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1320
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1321
1322
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1323
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1324
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1325
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1326
1327
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1328
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1329
present. (Robert Collins)
1330
1331
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1332
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1333
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1334
API. (Robert Collins)
1335
1336
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1337
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1338
(Robert Collins)
1339
1340
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1341
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1342
1343
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1344
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1345
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1346
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1347
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1348
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1349
1350
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1351
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1352
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1353
1354
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1355
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1356
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1357
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1358
protocol.
1359
1360
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1361
(Aaron Bentley)
1362
1363
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1364
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1365
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1366
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1367
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1368
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1369
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1370
1371
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1372
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1373
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1374
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1375
1376
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1377
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1378
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1379
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1380
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1381
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1382
1383
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1384
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1385
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1386
1387
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1388
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1393
1394
IMPROVEMENTS:
1395
1396
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1397
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1398
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1399
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1400
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1401
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1402
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1406
API CHANGES:
1407
1408
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1409
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1410
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1411

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

1682
--------------------
1683
1684
BUGFIXES:
1685
1686
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1687
1688
1689
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1690
-----------------------
1691
1692
BUGFIXES:
1693
1694
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1695
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1696
1697
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1698
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1699
(James Westby, #122656)
1700
1701
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1702
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1703
1704
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1705
authentication header.
1706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1707
1708
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1709
1710
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1711
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1712
1713
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1714
1715
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1717
1718
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1719
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1720
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1721
1722
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1723
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1724
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1725
1726
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1727
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1728
1729
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1731
1732
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1733
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1734
1735
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1736
1737
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1738
1739
IMPROVEMENTS:
1740
1741
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1742
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1743
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1744
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1745
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1746
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1747
1748
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1749
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1750
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1751
1752
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1753
(Elliot Murphy)
1754
1755
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1756
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1757
1758
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1759
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1760
1761
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1762
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1763
1764
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1765
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1766
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1767
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1768
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1769
1770
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1771
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1772
1773
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1774
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1775
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1776
1777
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1778
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1779
1780
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1781
1782
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1783
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1784
1785
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1786
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1787
(Robert Collins)
1788
1789
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1790
(Martin Pool)
1791
1792
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1793
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1794
1795
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1796
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1797
1798
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1799
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1800
1801
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1802
1803
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1804
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1805
1806
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1807
(Andrew Bennetts)
1808
1809
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1810
1811
* Testing cleanups -
1812
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1813
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1814
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1815
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1816
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1817
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1818
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1819
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1820
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1821
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1822
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1823
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1824
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1825
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1826
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1827
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1828
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1829
(Robert Collins)
1830
1831
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1832
1833
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1834
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1835
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1836
1837
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1838
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1839
1840
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1841
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1842
1843
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1844
1845
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1846
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1847
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1848
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1849
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1850
same location. (Robert Collins)
1851
1852
INTERNALS:
1853
1854
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1855
1856
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1857
1858
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1859
1860
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1861
(Martin Pool)
1862
1863
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1864
(Martin Pool)
1865
1866
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1867
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1868
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1869
1870
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1871
1872
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1873
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1874
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1875
1876
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1877
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1878
1879
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1880
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1881
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1882
1883
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1884
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1885
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1886
1887
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1888
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1889
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1890
1891
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1892
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1893
Martin Pool)
1894
1895
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1896
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1897
1898
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1899
(Alexander Belchenko)
1900
1901
TESTING:
1902
1903
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1904
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1905
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1906
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1907
1908
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1909
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1910
testing. (Robert Collins)
1911
1912
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1913
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1914
1915
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1916
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1917
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1918
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1919
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1920
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1921
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1922
1923
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1924
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1925
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1926
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1927
1928
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1929
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1930
1931
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1932
avoid useless cloning.

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

2024
into account.
2025
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2026
2027
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2028
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2029
2030
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2031
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2032
2033
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2034
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2035
2036
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2037
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2038
2039
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2040
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2041
2042
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2043
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2044
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

BUGFIXES:
2050
2051
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2052
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2053
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2054
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2055
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2056
2057
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2058
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2059
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2060
2061
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2062
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2063
2064
IMPROVEMENTS:
2065
2066
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2067
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2068
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2069
2070
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2071
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2072
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2073
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2079
2080
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2081
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2082
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2083
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2084
2085
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2086
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2087
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)

2089
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2090

2094
2095
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

-----------------------
2100
2101
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2102
2103
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2104
it could be recovered again.
2105
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2106
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2107
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2108
but not delete it.
2109
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2110
files.
2111
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2112
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2113
2114
IMPROVEMENTS:
2115
2116
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2117
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2118
2119
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2120
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2121
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2122
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2123
2124
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2125
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2126
2127
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2128
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2129
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2130
2131
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2132
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2133
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2134
2135
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2136
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2137
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2138
2139
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2140
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2141
Robert Collins)
2142
2143
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2144
Pool)
2145
2146
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2147
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2148
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2149
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2150
2151
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2152
(Robert Collins)
2153
2154
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2155
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2156
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2157
(Robert Collins)
2158
2159
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2160
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2161
2162
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2163
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2164
2165
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2166
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2167
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2168
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2169
(Robert Collins)
2170
2171
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2172
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2173
2174
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2175
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2176
2177
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2178
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2179
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2180
2181
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2182
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2183
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2184
2185
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2186
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2187
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2188
2189
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2190
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2191
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2192
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2193
2194
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2195
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2196
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2197
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2198
2199
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2200
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2201
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2202
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2203
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2204
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2205
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2206
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2207
header(s).
2208
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2209
2210
INTERNALS:
2211
2212
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2213
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2214
2215
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2216
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2217
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2218
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2219
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2220
2221
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2222
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2223
2224
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2225
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2226
2227
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2228
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2229
2230
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2231
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2232
2233
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2234
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2235
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2236
(Robert Collins).
2237
2238
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2239
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2240
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2241
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2242
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2243
(Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2246
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2247
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2248
2249
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2250
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2251
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2252
2253
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2254
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2255
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2256
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2257
2258
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2259
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2260
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2261
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2262
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2263
2264
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2265
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2266
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2267
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2268
2269
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2270
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2271
2272
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2273
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2274
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2275
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2276
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2277
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2280
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2281
2282
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2283
help. (Robert Collins)
2284
2285
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2286
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2287
2288
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2289
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2290
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2291
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2292
(John Arbash Meinel)
2293
2294
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2295
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2296
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2297
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2298
useful. (Robert Collins)
2299
2300
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2301
(Andrew Bennetts)
2302
2303
BUGFIXES:
2304
2305
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2306
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2307
2308
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2309
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2310
2311
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work

* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2316
(Aaron Bentley)
2317
2318
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2319
the file, and does it faster.
2320
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2321
2322
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2323
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2324
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2325
2326
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2327
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2328
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2329
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2330
2331
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2332
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2333
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2334
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2335
2336
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2337
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2338
2339
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2340
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2341
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2342
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2343
Arbash Meinel)
2344
2345
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2346
2347
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2348
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2349
2350
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2351
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2352
2353
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2354
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2355
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2356
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2357
security hole.
2358
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2359
2360
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2362
2363
TESTING:
2364
2365
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2366
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2367
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2370
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2371
2372
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2373
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2374
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2375
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2376
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2377
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2378
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2379
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2380
2381
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2382
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2383
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2384
2385
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2386
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2387
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2388
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2389
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2390
access.
2391
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2392
2393
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2394
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2395
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2396
2397
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2398
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
2417
2418
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2419
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2420
(Martin Pool)
2421
2422
IMPROVEMENTS:
2423
2424
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2425
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2426
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2427
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2428
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2429
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2430
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2431
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2432
path. (vila)
2433
2434
INTERNALS:
2435
2436
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2437
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2438
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2439
2440
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2441
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2442
(Martin Pool)
2443
2444
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2445
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2446
(John Arbash Meinel)
2447
2448
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2449
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2450
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2451
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2452
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2453
2454
BUGFIXES:
2455
2456
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2457
(vila, #92195)
2458
2459
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2460
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2461
2462
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2463
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2464
2465
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2466
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2467
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2468
2469
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2470
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2471
2472
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2473
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2474
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2475
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2476
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2477
2478
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2479
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2480
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2481
2482
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2486
-----------------------
2487
2488
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2489
2490
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2491
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2492
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2493
2494
IMPROVEMENTS:
2495
2496
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2497
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2498
2499
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2500
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2501
2502
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2503
2504
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2505
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2506
2507
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2508
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2509
2510
INTERNALS:
2511
2512
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2513
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2514
2515
BUGFIXES:
2516
2517
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2518
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2519
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2520
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2521
2522
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2523
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2524
2525
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2526
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2527
2528
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2529
(Marien Zwart)
2530
2531
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

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

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2710
2711
BUGFIXES:
2712
2713
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2714
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2715
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2716
2717
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2718
(Aaron Bentley)
2719
2720
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2721
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2722
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2723
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2724
2725
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2726
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2727
#83954).
2728
2729
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2730

2735
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2736
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2737
2738
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.

* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.

* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2745
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2748
(Kent Gibson, #86451)

2753
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2754

2770
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2771
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2772
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2773
2774
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2775
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2776
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

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

-----------------------
2918
2919
IMPROVEMENTS:
2920
2921
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2922
tree from a branch.
2923
(Daniel Silverstone)
2924
2925
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2926
operations are substantially faster.
2927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2928
2929
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2930
tree from some other url. For example:
2931
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2932
(Daniel Silverstone)
2933
2934
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2935
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2936
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2937
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2938
2939
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2940
(Andrew Bennetts)
2941
2942
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2943
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2944
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2945
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2946
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2947
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2948
2949
INTERNALS:
2950
2951
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2952
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2953
(Martin Pool)
2954
2955
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2956
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2957
(John Arbash Meinel)
2958
2959
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2960
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2961
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2962
(John Arbash Meinel)
2963
2964
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2965
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2966
2967
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2968
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2969
2970
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2971
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2972
Bennetts)
2973
2974
BUG FIXES:
2975
2976
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2977
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2978
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2979
2980
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2981
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2982
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2983
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2984
2985
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2986
2987
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2988
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2989
2990
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2991
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2992
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2993
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2994
2995
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2996
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2997
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2998
2999
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3000
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3001
them as full references rather than integers.
3002
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3003
3004
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3005
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3006
3007
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3008
3009
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3010
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3011
3012
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3013
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3014
3015
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3016
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3017
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3018
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3019
3020
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3021
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3022
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3023
3024
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3025
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3026
3027
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3028
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3029
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3030
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3031
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3032
3033
TESTING:
3034
3035
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3036
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3037

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3039
--------------------
3040
3041
INTERNALS:
3042
3043
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3044
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3045
(John Arbash Meinel)
3046
3047
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3048
-----------------------
3049
3050
IMPROVEMENTS:
3051
3052
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3053
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3054
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3055
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3056
3057
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3058
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3059
3060
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3061
3062
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3063
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3064
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3065
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3066
3067
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3068
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3069
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3070
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3071
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3072
3073
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3074
3075
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3076
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3077
3078
INTERNALS:
3079
3080
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3081
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3082
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3083
3084
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3085
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3086
(John Arbash Meinel)
3087
3088
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3089
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3090
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3091
3092
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3093
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3094
(Aaron Bentley)
3095
3096
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3097
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3098
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3099
3100
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3101
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3102
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3103
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3104
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3105
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3106
3107
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3108
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3109
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3110
(Robert Collins)
3111
3112
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3113
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3114
3115
BUG FIXES:
3116
3117
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3118
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3119
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3120
#63360, #66349)
3121
3122
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3123
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3124
3125
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3126
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3127
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3128
3129
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3130
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3131
3132
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3133
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3134
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3135
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3136
3137
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3138
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3139
3140
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3141
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3142
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3143
3144
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3145
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3146
3147
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3148
3149
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3150
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3151
#32054)
3152
3153
TESTING:
3154
3155
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3156
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3157
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3158
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3159
3160
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3161
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3162
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3163
3164
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
3173
3174
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3175
3176
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3177
Arbash Meinel).
3178
3179
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3180
-----------------------
3181
3182
IMPROVEMENTS:
3183
3184
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3185
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3186
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3187
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3188
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3189
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3190
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3191
3192
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3193
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3194
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3195
3196
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3197
3198
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3199
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3200
3201
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3202
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3203
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3204
(Robert Collins)
3205
3206
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3207
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3208
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3209
(John Arbash Meinel)
3210
3211
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3212
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3213
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3214
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3215
Pool)
3216
3217
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3218
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part

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

3722
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3723
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3724
3725
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3726
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
3739
3740
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3741

3743
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3744
3745
NEW FEATURES:
3746
3747
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

3762
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3763
-------------------
3764
3765
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3766
3767
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3768
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3769
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3770
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3771
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3772
will keep the same format.
3773
3774
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3775
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3776
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3777
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3778
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3779
3780
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3781
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3782
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3783
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3784
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3785
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3786
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3787
3788
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3789
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3790
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3791
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3792
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3793
3794
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3795
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3796
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3797
arrangement.
3798
3799
3800
IMPROVEMENTS:
3801
3802
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3803
convention. Paths now take the form::
3804
3805
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3806
or
3807
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3808
3809
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3810
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3811
3812
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3813
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3814
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3815
3816
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3817
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3818
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3819
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3820
3821
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3822
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3823
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3824
3825
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3826
3827
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3828
3829
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3830
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3831
commits::
3832
3833
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3834
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3835
| xargs bzr re-sign
3836
3837
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3838
3839
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3840
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3841
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3842
(Robert Collins)
3843
3844
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3845
3846
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3847
3848
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3849
'.moved'.
3850
3851
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3852
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3853
3854
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3855
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3856
Daniel Silverstone)
3857
3858
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3859
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3860
Martin Pool)
3861
3862
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3863
3864
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3865
3866
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3867
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3868
3869
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3870
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3871
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3872
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3873
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3874
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3875
3876
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3877
3878
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3879
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3880
(Robert Collins)
3881
3882
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3883
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3884
3885
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3886
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3887
3888
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3889
3890
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3891
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3892
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3893
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3894
specification by Martin Pool.
3895
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3896
3897
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3898
Belchenko)
3899
3900
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3901
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3902
3903
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3904
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3905
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3906
3907
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3908
3909
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3910
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3911
(Robert Collins)
3912
3913
CHANGES:
3914
3915
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3916
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3917
3918
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3919
3920
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3921
3922
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3923
(Olaf Conradi)
3924
3925
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3926
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3927
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3928
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3929
3930
INTERNALS:
3931
3932
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3933
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3934
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3935
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3936
3937
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3938
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3939
tried. (Martin Pool)
3940
3941
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3942
(Martin Pool)
3943
3944
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3945
3946
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3947
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3948
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3949
3950
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3951
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3952
3953
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3954
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3955
paths. (Robert Collins)
3956
3957
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3958
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3959
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3962
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3963
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3964
3965
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3966
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3967
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3968
3969
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3970
(Olaf Conradi)
3971
3972
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3973
(Olaf Conradi)
3974
3975
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3976
3977
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3978
3979
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3980
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3981
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3982
(Robert Collins)
3983
3984
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3985
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3986
3987
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3988
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3989
check. (Robert Collins)
3990
3991
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3992
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3993
3994
TESTING:
3995
3996
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3997
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3998
3999
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4000
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4001
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4002
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4003
4004
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4005
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4006
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4007
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4008
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4009
4010
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4011
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4012
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4013
4014
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4015
4016
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4017
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4018

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4020
------------------
4021
4022
CHANGES:
4023
4024
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4025
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4026
4027
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4028
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4029
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4030
(Johan Rydberg)
4031
4032
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4033
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4034
4035
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4036
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4037
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4038
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4039
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4040
4041
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4042
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4043
used. (Robert Collins)
4044
4045
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4046
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4047
(James Henstridge)
4048
4049
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4050
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4051
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4052
4053
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4054
ignore list.
4055
4056
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4057
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4058
4059
IMPROVEMENTS:
4060
4061
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4062
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4063
4064
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4065
4066
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4067
4068
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4069
tree. (Robert Collins)
4070
4071
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4072
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4073
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4074
(Robert Collins)
4075
4076
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4077
that they be kept.
4078
4079
* Tweaks to short log printing
4080
4081
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4082
(Aaron Bentley)
4083
4084
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4085
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4086
4087
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4088
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4089
4090
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4091
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4092
4093
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4094
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4095
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4096
4097
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4098
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4099
4100
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4101
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4102
requests.
4103
4104
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4105
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4106
4107
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.

* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4111
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4112
4113
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4114
(Denys Duchier)
4115
4116
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4117
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4118
4119
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4120
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4121
4122
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4123
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4124
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4125
4126
BUG FIXES:
4127
4128
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4129
4130
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4131
4132
* Error when run with -OO
4133
4134
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4135
(Martin Pool)
4136
4137
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4138
4139
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4140
4141
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4142
ignored by diff and status
4143
4144
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4145
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4146
4147
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4148
4149
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4150
4151
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4152
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4153
4154
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4155
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4156
4157
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4158
(Harald Meland)
4159
4160
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4161
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4162
4163
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4164
4165
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4166
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4167
4168
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4169
(Martin Pool)
4170
4171
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4172
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4173
4174
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4175
4176
TESTING:
4177
4178
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4179
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4180
4181
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4182
4183
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4184
4185
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4186
4187
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4188
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4189
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4190
4191
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4192
4193
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4194
(John Arbash Meinel)
4195
4196
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4197
4198
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4199
If adding a new test script please add that to
4200
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4201
4202
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4203
imported. (Martin Pool)
4204
4205
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4206
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4207
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4208
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4209
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4210
(Robert Collins)
4211
4212
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4213
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4214
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4215
4216
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4217
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4218
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4219
4220
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4221
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4222
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4223
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4224
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4225
(Robert Collins).
4226
4227
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4228
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4229
(Robert Collins).
4230
4231
INTERNALS:
4232
4233
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4234
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4235
4236
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4237
function. (Robert Collins)
4238
4239
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4240
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4241
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4242
4243
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4244
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4245
(Robert Collins)
4246
4247
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4248
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4249
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4250
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4251
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4252
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4253
version. (Robert Collins)
4254
4255
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4256
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4257
4258
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4259
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4260
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4261
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4262
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4263
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4264
4265
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4266
(Robert Collins)
4267
4268
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4269
4270
add()
4271
commit()
4272
move()
4273
rename_one()
4274
unknowns()
4275
4276
(Robert Collins)
4277
4278
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4279
4280
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4281
4282
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4283
Pool)
4284
4285
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4286
query method. (Robert Collins)
4287
4288
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4289
(Denys Duchier)
4290
4291
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4292
(Michael Ellerman)
4293
4294
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4295
(Michael Ellerman)
4296
4297
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4298
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4299
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4300
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4301
4302
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4303
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4304
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4305
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4306
4307
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4308
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4309

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4311
------------------
4312
4313
IMPROVEMENTS:
4314
4315
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4316
(John A Meinel)
4317
4318
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4319
conflicts.
4320
(Aaron Bentley)
4321
4322
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4323
a separator, not ':'.
4324
(Aaron Bentley)
4325
4326
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4327
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4328
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4329
4330
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4331
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4332
(Robert Collins)
4333
4334
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4335
has been added that suppresses all output.
4336
4337
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4338
Adams.
4339
4340
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4341
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4342
4343
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4344
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4345
4346
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4347
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4348
4349
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4350
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4351
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4352
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4353
4354
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4355
4356
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4357
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4358
4359
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4360
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4361
4362
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4363
output directory, if one was supplied.
4364
4365
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4366
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4367
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4368
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4369
4370
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4371
4372
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4373
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4374
4375
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4376
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4377
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4378
4379
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4380
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4381
4382
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4383
(Aaron Bentley)
4384
4385
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4386
4387
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4388
4389
TESTING:
4390
4391
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4392
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4393
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4396
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4397
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4398
4399
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4400
is given. (Martin Pool)
4401
4402
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4403
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4404
file. (Robert Collins)
4405
4406
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4407
(Martin Pool)
4408
4409
INTERNALS:
4410
4411
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4412
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4413
representation. (Martin Pool).
4414
4415
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4416
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4417
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4418
4419
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4420
(Robert Collins)
4421
4422
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4423
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4424
Magnus Therning.
4425
4426
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4427
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4428
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4429
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4430
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4431
4432
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4433
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4434
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4435
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4436
python path. (Robert Collins)
4437
4438
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4439
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4440
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4441
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4442
4443
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4444
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4445
4446
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4447
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4448
(Robert Collins)
4449
4450
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4451
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4452
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4455
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4456
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4457
4458
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4459
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4460
4461
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4462
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4463
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4464
(Robert Collins)
4465
4466
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4467
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4468
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4469
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4470
(Robert Collins)
4471
4472
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4473
(Robert Collins)
4474
4475
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4476
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4477
(Robert Collins)
4478
4479
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4480
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4481
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4482
4483
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4484
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4485
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4486
4487
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4488
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4489
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4490
4491
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4492
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4493
4494
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4495
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4496
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4497
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4498
caller. (Robert Collins)
4499
4500
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4501
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4502
(Robert Collins).
4503
4504
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4505
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4506
(Aaron Bentley)
4507
4508
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4509
4510
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4511
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4512
4513
BUG FIXES:
4514
4515
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4516
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4517
4518
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4519
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4522
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4523
--------------------
4524
4525
BUG FIXES:
4526
4527
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4528
allow directories to be listed.
4529
4530
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4531
upgrading branch format.
4532
4533
PERFORMANCE:
4534
4535
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4539
------------------
4540
4541
NOTES:
4542
4543
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4544
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4545
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4546
high-latency connections.
4547
4548
BUG FIXES:
4549
4550
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4551
Rob Weir.
4552
4553
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4554
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4555
4556
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4557
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4558
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4559
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4560
4561
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4562
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4563
4564
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4565
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4566
4567
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4568
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4569
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4570
4571
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4572
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4573
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4574
Robert Collins
4575
4576
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4577
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4578
4579
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4580
different partial views of history.
4581
4582
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4583
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4584
4585
IMPROVEMENTS:
4586
4587
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4588
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4589
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4590
4591
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4592
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4593
'bzr upgrade'.
4594
4595
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4596
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4597
4598
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4599
Niemeyer.
4600
4601
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4602
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4603
4604
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4605
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4606
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4607
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4608
4609
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4610
4611
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4612
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4613
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4614
4615
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4616
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4617
4618
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4619
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4620
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4621
4622
4623
INTERNALS:
4624
4625
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4626
for your viewing pleasure.
4627
4628
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4629
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4630
4631
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4632
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4633
handling of such circumstances.
4634
4635
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4636
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4637
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4638
4639
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4640
4641
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4642
we call them revisions not patches.
4643
4644
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4645
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4646
4647
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4648
giving the revision *of that file*.
4649
4650
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4651
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4652
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4653
4654
TESTING:
4655
4656
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4657
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4658
4659
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4660
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4661
4662
4663
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4664
--------------------
4665
4666
BUG FIXES:
4667
4668
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4669
4670
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4671
(Robert Collins).
4672
4673
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4674
4675
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4676
4677
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4678
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4679
4680
IMPROVEMENTS:
4681
4682
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4683
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4684
4685
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4686
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4687
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4688
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4689
Robey Pointer
4690
4691
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4692
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4693
4694
INTERNALS:
4695
4696
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4697
4698
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4699
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4700
4701
4702
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4703
--------------------
4704
4705
IMPROVEMENTS:
4706
4707
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4708
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4709
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4710
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4711
Michael Ellerman.
4712
4713
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4714
(Nir Soffer)
4715
4716
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4717
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4718
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4719
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4720
for the operating system is still tried.
4721
4722
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4723
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4724
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4725
4726
4727
INTERNALS:
4728
4729
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4730
4731
BUG FIXES:
4732
4733
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4734
4735
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4736
branch.
4737
4738
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4739
read.
4740
4741
4742
PORTABILITY:
4743
4744
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4745
4746
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4747
4748
4749
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4750
--------------------
4751
4752
NEW FEATURES:
4753
4754
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4755
help with intelligent shell completion.
4756
4757
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4758
4759
4760
ENHANCEMENTS:
4761
4762
* Much better merge support.
4763
4764
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4765
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4766
like emacs smerge.
4767
4768
4769
BUG FIXES:
4770
4771
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4772
mention revisions that are not present.
4773
4774
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4775
4776
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4777
4778
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4779
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4780
4781
4782
CHANGES:
4783
4784
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4785
4786
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4787
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4788
--help themselves.
4789
4790
4791
LIBRARY:
4792
4793
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4794
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4795
libraries.
4796
4797
4798
4799
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4800
--------------------
4801
4802
NEW FEATURES:
4803
4804
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4805
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4806
4807
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4808
4809
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4810
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4811
4812
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4813
FOO.
4814
4815
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4816
4817
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4818
the Unix command.
4819
4820
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4821
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4822
4823
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4824
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4825
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4826
4827
4828
ENHANCEMENTS:
4829
4830
* Faster working tree operations.
4831
4832
4833
CHANGES:
4834
4835
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4836
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4837
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4838
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4839
4840
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4841
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4842
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4843
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4844
standard plugins directory.
4845
4846
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4847
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4848
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4849
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4850
4851
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4852
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4853
4854
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4855
disk.
4856
4857
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4858
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4859
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4860
4861
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4862
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4863
4864
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4865
line options must come before the command name because they
4866
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4867
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4868
it.
4869
4870
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4871
4872
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4873
is available with ``--short``.
4874
4875
4876
BUG FIXES:
4877
4878
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4879
4880
4881
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4882
---------------------
4883
4884
CHANGES:
4885
4886
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4887
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4888
4889
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4890
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4891
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4892
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4893
4894
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4895
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4896
with the ``--forward`` option.
4897
4898
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4899
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4900
field.
4901
4902
4903
ENHANCEMENTS:
4904
4905
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4906
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4907
4908
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4909
4910
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4911
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4912
4913
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4914
4915
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4916
either read or write mode.
4917
4918
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4919
4920
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4921
affected that file.
4922
4923
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4924
4925
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4926
suggested by LarstiQ.
4927
4928
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4929
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4930
4931
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4932
a filename.
4933
4934
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4935
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4936
4937
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4938
haven't changed since the previous time.
4939
4940
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4941
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4942
4943
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4944
4945
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4946
4947
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4948
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4949
4950
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4951
options through to an external GNU diff.
4952
4953
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4954
their contents.
4955
4956
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4957
from a branch.
4958
4959
4960
BUG FIXES:
4961
4962
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4963
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4964
4965
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4966
metacharacters.
4967
4968
4969
TESTING:
4970
4971
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4972
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4973
the tests.
4974
4975
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4976
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4977
4978
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4979
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4980
4981
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4982
under a different version.
4983
4984
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4985
4986
4987
INTERNAL:
4988
4989
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4990
4991
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4992
Scott James Remnant.
4993
4994
* Better help messages for many commands.
4995
4996
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4997
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4998
4999
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5000
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5001
5002
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5003
5004
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5005
5006
* New AtomicFile class.
5007
5008
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5009
5010
5011
PORTABILITY:
5012
5013
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5014
2.4 is now only recommended.

5016
5017
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5018
---------------------
5019
5020
ENHANCEMENTS:
5021
5022
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5023
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5024
5025
* More default ignore patterns.
5026
5027
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5028
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5029
5030
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5031
5032
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5033
by Jason Diamon.
5034
5035
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5036
5037
5038
CHANGES:
5039
5040
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5041
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5042
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5043
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5044
there are DNS problems.
5045
5046
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5047
5048
5049
BUG FIXES:
5050
5051
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5052
5053
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5054
5055
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5056
trailing newlines properly.
5057
5058
5059
INTERNAL:
5060
5061
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5062
Matt Brubeck.
5063
5064
* More tests in test.sh.
5065
5066
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5067
directory and delete it when done.
5068
5069
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5070
5071
5072
PORTABILITY:
5073
5074
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5075
Bennetts.
5076
5077
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5078
from QuantumG.

5081
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5082
---------------------
5083
5084
ENHANCEMENTS:
5085
5086
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5087
in the tree.
5088
5089
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5090
5091
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5092
and/or directory.
5093
5094
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5095
directory.
5096
5097
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5098
5099
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5100
5101
CHANGES:
5102
5103
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5104
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5105
will do for now.)
5106
5107
PORTABILITY:
5108
5109
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5110
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5111
Nielsen.
5112
5113
INTERNAL:
5114
5115
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5116
5117
TESTING:
5118
5119
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

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