IN DEVELOPMENT

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

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

471
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
472
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
473
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
474
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
475
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
476
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
477
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
478
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
479
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
480
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
481
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
482
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
486
487
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
488
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
489
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
490
491
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
492
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
493
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
494
(Martin Pool)
495
496
FEATURES:
497
498
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
499
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
500
supported transports.
501
(Vincent Ladeuil)
502
503
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
504
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
505
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
506
507
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
508
(Robert Collins, #154173)
509
510
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
511
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
512
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
513
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
514
515
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
516
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
517
518
PERFORMANCE:
519
520
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
521
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
522
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
523
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
524
525
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
526
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
527
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
528
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
529
530
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
531
(Robert Collins, #88319)
532
533
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
534
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
535
536
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
537
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
538
539
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
540
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
541
(Aaron Bentley)
542
543
IMPROVEMENTS:
544
545
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
546
(Aaron Bentley)
547
548
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
549
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
550
(Lukáš Lalinský)
551
552
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
553
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
554
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
555
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
556
557
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
558
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
559
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
560
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
561
562
DOCUMENTATION:
563
564
BUG FIXES:
565
566
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
567
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
568
569
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
570
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
571
572
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
573
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
574
575
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
577
578
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
579
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
580
581
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
582
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
583
584
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
586
587
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
588
(Aaron Bentley)
589
590
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
591
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
592
593
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
594
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
596
597
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
598
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
599
600
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
601
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
602
603
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
604
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
605
606
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
607
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
608
609
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
610
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
611
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
612
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
613
on them.
614
(Martin Pool, #164637)
615
616
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
617
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
619
620
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
621
(Robert Collins, #161240)
622
623
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
624
to be reconciled.
625
(Martin Pool, #164443)
626
627
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
628
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
629
630
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
631
specify a port in urls.
632
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
633
634
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
635
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
636
637
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
638
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
639
640
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
641
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
642
643
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
644
(Robert Collins, #153789)
645
646
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
647
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
648
(Robert Collins, #165304).
649
650
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
651
652
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
653
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
654
655
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
656
Watkins, #152811)
657
658
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
659
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
660
661
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
662
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
663
664
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
665
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
666
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
667
668
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
669
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
670
671
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
672
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
673
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
674
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
675
676
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
677
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
678
679
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
680
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
681
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
682
683
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
684
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
685
686
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
688
689
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
691
692
API BREAKS:
693
694
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
695
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
696
697
* The return value of
698
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
699
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
700
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
701
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
702
703
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
704
(Robert Collins)
705
706
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
707
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
708
format.
709
(Martin Pool)
710
711
INTERNALS:
712
713
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
714
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
715
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
716
Bennetts)
717
718
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
719
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
720
721
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
738
739
CHANGES:
740
741
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
742
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
743
744
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
745
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
746
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
747
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
748
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
749
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
750
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
751
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
752
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
753
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
754
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
755
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
756
(Robert Collins)
757
758
FEATURES:
759
760
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
761
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
762
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
763
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
764
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
765
for further details. (Robert Collins)
766
767
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
768
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
769
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
770
(Robert Collins)
771
772
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
773
774
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
775
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
776
777
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
778
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
779
(Aaron Bentley)
780
781
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
782
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
783
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
784
785
PERFORMANCE:
786
787
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
788
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
789
790
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
791
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
792
793
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
794
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
795
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
796
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
797
798
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
799
(Robert Collins)
800
801
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
802
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
803
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
804
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
805
806
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
807
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
808
809
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
810
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
811
812
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
813
the contents. (Robert Collins)
814
815
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
816
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
817
818
IMPROVEMENTS:
819
820
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
821
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
822
823
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
824
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
825
826
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
827
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
828
829
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
830
(Martin Pool, #63894)
831
832
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
833
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
834
835
DOCUMENTATION:
836
837
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
838
839
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
840
(Ian Clatworthy)
841
842
BUG FIXES:
843
844
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
845
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
846
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
847
848
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
849
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
850
851
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
852
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
853
854
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
855
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
856
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
857
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
858
859
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
860
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
861
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
862
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
863
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
864
865
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
866
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
867
paramiko.
868
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
869
870
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
871
872
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
873
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
874
875
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
876
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
877
878
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
879
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
880
881
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
882
contains a symbolic link.
883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
884
885
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
886
(James Westby, #140615)
887
888
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
889
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
891
892
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
893
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
894
(Martin Pool, #144633)
895
896
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
897
898
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
899
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
900
901
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
902
will remain opened.
903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
904
905
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
906
directory to detect leaking tests.
907
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
908
909
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
910
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
911
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
912
913
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
914
(Rob Weir, #141629)
915
916
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
917
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
918
919
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
920
Merwe)
921
922
API BREAKS:
923
924
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
925
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
926
927
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
928
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
929
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
930
931
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
932
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
933
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
934
935
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
936
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
937
938
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
939
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
940
941
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
942
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
943
(Martin Pool)
944
945
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
946
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
947
948
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
949
class that needs it.
950
(Martin Pool)
951
952
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
953
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
954
955
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
956
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
957
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
958
959
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
960
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
961
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
962
(Robert Collins)
963
964
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
965
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
966
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
967
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
968
(Robert Collins)
969
970
INTERNALS:
971
972
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
973
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
974
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
975
976
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
977
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
978
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
979
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
980
981
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
982
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
983
(Robert Collins)
984
985
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
986
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
987
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
988
989
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
990
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
991
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
992
993
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
994
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
995
996
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
997
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
998
to complete. (Robert Collins)
999
1000
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1001
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1002
1003
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1004
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1005
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1006
1007
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1008
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1009
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1010
1011
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1012
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1013
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1014
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1015
1016
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1017
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1018
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1019
returned. (Robert Collins)
1020
1021
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1022
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1023
1024
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1025
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1026
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1027
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1028
(Robert Collins)
1029
1030
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1031
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1032
1033
TESTING:
1034
1035
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1036
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1037
1038
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1039
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1040
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1041
makes this behavior available to other users.
1042
(Martin Pool)
1043
1044
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1045
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

BUG FIXES:
1052
1053
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1054
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1055
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1056
1057
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1058
1059
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1060
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1061
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1062
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1063
1064
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1065
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

CHANGES:
1080
1081
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1082
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1083
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1084
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1085
(Martin Pool)
1086
1087
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1088
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1089
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1090
(Ian Clatworthy)
1091
1092
FEATURES:
1093
1094
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1095
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1096
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1097
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1098
1099
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1100
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1101
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1102
1103
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1104
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1105
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1106
1107
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1108
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1109
1110
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1111
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1112
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1113
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1114
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1115
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1116
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1117
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1118
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1119
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1120
1121
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1122
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1123
1124
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1125
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1126
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1127
1128
BUG FIXES:
1129
1130
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1131
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1132
1133
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1134
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1135
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1136
1137
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1138
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1139
1140
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1141
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1142
1143
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1144
(Aaron Bentley)
1145
1146
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1147
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1148
1149
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1150
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1151
1152
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1153
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1154
1155
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1156
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1157
1158
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1159
1160
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1161
Watkins, #106726)
1162
1163
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1164
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1165
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1166
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1167
1168
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1169
1170
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1171
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1172
#133548)
1173
1174
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1175
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1176
1177
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1178
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1179
#116143)
1180
1181
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1182
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1183
1184
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1185
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1186
1187
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1188
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1189
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1190
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1191
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1192
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1193
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1194
1195
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1196
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1197
1198
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1199
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1200
1201
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1202
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1203
1204
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1206
1207
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1208
connections.
1209
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1210
1211
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1212
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1213
1214
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1215
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1216
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1217
1218
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1219
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1220
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1221
1222
IMPROVEMENTS:
1223
1224
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1225
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1226
1227
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1228
(Aaron Bentley)
1229
1230
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1231
(Aaron Bentley)
1232
1233
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1234
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1235
1236
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1237
1238
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1239
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1240
1241
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1242
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1243
1244
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1245
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1246
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1247
space). (Robert Collins)
1248
1249
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1250
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1251
(Ian Clatworthy)
1252
1253
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1254
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1255
1256
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1257
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1258
1259
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1260
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1261
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1262
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1263
1264
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1265
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1266
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1267
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1268
1269
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1270
(Ian Clatworthy)
1271
1272
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1273
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1274
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1275
1276
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1277
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1278
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1279
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1280
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1281
1282
API BREAKS:
1283
1284
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1285
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1286
1287
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1288
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1289
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1290
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1291
affected. (Robert Collins)
1292
1293
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1294
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1295
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1296
(Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1299
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1300
1301
TESTING:
1302
1303
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1304
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1305
1306
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1307
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1308
1309
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1310
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1311
1312
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1313
(Aaron Bentley)
1314
1315
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1316
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1317
1318
INTERNALS:
1319
1320
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1321
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1322
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1323
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1324
1325
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1326
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1327
1328
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1329
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1330
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1331
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1332
1333
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1334
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1335
present. (Robert Collins)
1336
1337
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1338
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1339
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1340
API. (Robert Collins)
1341
1342
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1343
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1344
(Robert Collins)
1345
1346
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1347
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1350
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1351
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1352
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1353
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1354
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1355
1356
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1357
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1358
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1359
1360
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1361
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1362
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1363
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1364
protocol.
1365
1366
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1367
(Aaron Bentley)
1368
1369
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1370
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1371
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1372
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1373
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1374
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1375
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1376
1377
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1378
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1379
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1380
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1381
1382
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1383
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1384
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1385
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1386
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1387
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1388
1389
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1390
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1391
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1392
1393
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1394
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1399
1400
IMPROVEMENTS:
1401
1402
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1403
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1404
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1405
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1406
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1407
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1408
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1415
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1416
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1417

1420
----------------------
1421
1422
BUGFIXES:
1423
1424
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1425
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1426
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1427
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1428
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1429
1430
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1432
1433
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1434
anymore.
1435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1436
1437
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1438
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1439
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1440
1441
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1442
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1443
#111664)
1444
1445
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1446
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1447
1448
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1449
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1450
1451
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1452
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1453
1454
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1455
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1456
1457
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1458
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1459
1460
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1461
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1462
1463
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1464
(Aaron Bentley)
1465
1466
IMPROVEMENTS:
1467
1468
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1469
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1470
1471
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1472
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1473
1474
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1475
the repository (Robert Collins)
1476
1477
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1478
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1479
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1480
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1481
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1482
1483
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1484
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1485
1486
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1487
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1488
(John Arbash Meinel)
1489
1490
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1491
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1492
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1493
about 10%).
1494
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1495
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1496
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1497
(John Arbash Meinel)
1498
1499
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1500
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1501
(Robert Collins)
1502
1503
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1504
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1505
1506
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1507
(Ian Clatworthy)
1508
1509
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1510
1511
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1512
1513
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1514
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1515
1516
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1517
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1518
Meinel)
1519
1520
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1521
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1522
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1523
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1524
1525
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1526
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1527
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1528
1529
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1530
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1531
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1532
1533
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1534
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1535
1536
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1537
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1538
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1539
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1540
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1541
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1542
(Ian Clatworthy)
1543
1544
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1545
(Alexander Belchenko)
1546
1547
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1548
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1549
1550
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1551
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1552
1553
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1554
1555
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1556
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1557
1558
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1559
1560
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1561
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1562
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1563
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1564
1565
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1566
1567
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1568
(Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1571
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1572
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1573
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1574
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1575
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1576
1577
INTERNALS:
1578
1579
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1580
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1581
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1582
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1583
1584
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1585
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1586
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1587
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1588
tests have been refactored too.
1589
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1590
1591
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1592
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1593
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1594
list, it will.
1595
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1596
1597
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1598
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1599
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1600
1601
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1602
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1603
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1604
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1605
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1606
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1607
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1608
1609
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1610
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1611
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1612
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1613
(John Arbash Meinel)
1614
1615
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1616
functionality for testing.
1617
1618
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1619
1620
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1621
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1622
1623
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1624
1625
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1626
(Robert Collins)
1627
1628
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1629
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1630
1631
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1632
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1633
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1634
1635
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1636
(Aaron Bentley)
1637
1638
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1639
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1640
1641
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1642
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1643
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1644
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1645
1646
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1647
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1648
1649
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1650
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1651
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1652
1653
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1654
(Marius Kruger)
1655
1656
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1657
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1658
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1659
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1660
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1661
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1662
1663
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1664
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1665
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1666
many files. (Robert Collins)
1667
1668
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1669
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1670
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1671
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1672
1673
TESTING:
1674
1675
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1676
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1677
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1678
1679
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1680
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1681
1682
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1683
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1684
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1700
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1701
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1702
1703
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1704
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1705
(James Westby, #122656)
1706
1707
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1708
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1709
1710
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1711
authentication header.
1712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1713
1714
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1715
1716
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1717
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1718
1719
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1720
1721
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1723
1724
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1725
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1727
1728
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1729
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1730
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1731
1732
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1733
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1734
1735
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1736
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1737
1738
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1739
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1740
1741
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1742
1743
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1744
1745
IMPROVEMENTS:
1746
1747
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1748
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1749
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1750
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1751
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1752
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1753
1754
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1755
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1756
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1757
1758
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1759
(Elliot Murphy)
1760
1761
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1762
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1763
1764
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1765
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1766
1767
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1768
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1769
1770
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1771
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1772
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1773
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1774
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1775
1776
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1777
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1778
1779
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1780
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1781
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1782
1783
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1784
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1785
1786
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1787
1788
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1789
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1790
1791
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1792
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1793
(Robert Collins)
1794
1795
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1796
(Martin Pool)
1797
1798
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1799
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1800
1801
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1802
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1803
1804
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1805
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1806
1807
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1808
1809
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1810
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1811
1812
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1813
(Andrew Bennetts)
1814
1815
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1816
1817
* Testing cleanups -
1818
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1819
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1820
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1821
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1822
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1823
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1824
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1825
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1826
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1827
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1828
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1829
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1830
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1831
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1832
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1833
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1834
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1835
(Robert Collins)
1836
1837
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1838
1839
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1840
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1841
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1842
1843
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1844
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1845
1846
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1847
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1848
1849
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1850
1851
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1852
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1853
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1854
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1855
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1856
same location. (Robert Collins)
1857
1858
INTERNALS:

1863
1864
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1865
1866
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1867

* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1873
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1874
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1875
1876
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1877
1878
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1879
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1880
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1881
1882
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1883
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1884
1885
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1886
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1887
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1888
1889
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1890
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1891
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1892
1893
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1894
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1895
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1896
1897
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1898
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1899
Martin Pool)
1900
1901
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1902
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1903
1904
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1905
(Alexander Belchenko)
1906
1907
TESTING:
1908
1909
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1910
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1911
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1912
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1913
1914
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1915
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1916
testing. (Robert Collins)
1917
1918
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1919
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1920
1921
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1922
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1923
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1924
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1925
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1926
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1927
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1928
1929
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1930
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1931
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1932
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1933
1934
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1935
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1936
1937
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1938
avoid useless cloning.

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

2030

2031
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2032
2033
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2034
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2035
2036
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2037
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2038
2039
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2040
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2041
2042
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2043
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2044
2045
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2046
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2047
2048
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in

your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2050
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2053
--------------------
2054
2055
BUGFIXES:
2056
2057
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2058
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2059
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2060
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2061
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2062
2063
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2064
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2065
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2066
2067
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2068
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2069
2070
IMPROVEMENTS:
2071
2072
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2073
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2074
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2075
2076
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2077
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2078
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2079
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
2085
2086
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2087
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2088
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2089
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2090
2091
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2092
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2093
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2094
2095
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2096
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2100
2101
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

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

2314
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.

2317
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2318
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2319
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2320
2321
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2322
(Aaron Bentley)
2323
2324
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2325
the file, and does it faster.
2326
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2327
2328
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2329
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2330
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2331
2332
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2333
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2334
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2335
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2336
2337
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2338
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2339
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2340
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2341
2342
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2343
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2344
2345
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2346
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2347
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2348
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2349
Arbash Meinel)
2350
2351
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2352
2353
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2354
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2355
2356
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2357
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2358
2359
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2360
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2361
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2362
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2363
security hole.
2364
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2365
2366
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2368
2369
TESTING:
2370
2371
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2372
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2373
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2374
2375
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2376
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2377
2378
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2379
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2380
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2381
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2382
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2383
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2384
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2385
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2386
2387
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2388
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2389
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2390
2391
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2392
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2393
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2394
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2395
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2396
access.
2397
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2398
2399
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2400
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2401
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2402
2403
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2404
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2422
CHANGES:
2423
2424
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2425
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2426
(Martin Pool)
2427
2428
IMPROVEMENTS:
2429
2430
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2431
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2432
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2433
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2434
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2435
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2436
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2437
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2438
path. (vila)
2439
2440
INTERNALS:
2441
2442
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2443
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2444
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2445
2446
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2447
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2448
(Martin Pool)
2449
2450
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2451
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2452
(John Arbash Meinel)
2453
2454
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2455
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2456
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2457
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2458
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2459
2460
BUGFIXES:
2461
2462
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2463
(vila, #92195)
2464
2465
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2466
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2467
2468
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2469
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2470
2471
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2472
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2473
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2474
2475
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2476
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2477
2478
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2479
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2480
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2481
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2482
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2483
2484
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2485
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2486
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2487
2488
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2492
-----------------------
2493
2494
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2495
2496
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2497
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2498
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2499
2500
IMPROVEMENTS:
2501
2502
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2503
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2504
2505
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2506
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2507
2508
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2509
2510
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2511
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2512
2513
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2514
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2515
2516
INTERNALS:
2517
2518
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2519
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2520
2521
BUGFIXES:
2522
2523
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2524
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2525
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2526
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2527
2528
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2529
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2530
2531
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2532
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2533
2534
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2535
(Marien Zwart)
2536
2537
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2538
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2541
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2542
-----------------------
2543
2544
SURPRISES:
2545
2546
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2547
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2548
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2549
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2550
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2551
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2552
2553
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2554
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2555
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2556
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2557
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2558
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2559
development.
2560
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2561
2562
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2563
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2564
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2565
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2566
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2567
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2568
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2569
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2570
2571
IMPROVEMENTS:
2572
2573
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2574
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2575
2576
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2577
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2578
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2579
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2580
does exist.
2581
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2582
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2583
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2584
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2585
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2586
2587
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2588
(Aaron Bentley)
2589
2590
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2591
(Aaron Bentley)
2592
2593
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2594
(Robert Collins)
2595
2596
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2597
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2598
(Aaron Bentley)
2599
2600
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2601
(Aaron Bentley)
2602
2603
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2604
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2605
2606
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2607
directory. (Martin Pool)
2608
2609
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2610
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2611
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2612
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2613
2614
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2615
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2616
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2617
in docs/configuration.txt.
2618
2619
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2620
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2621
bind location.
2622
2623
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2624
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2625
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2626
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2627
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2628
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2629
2630
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2631
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2632
2633
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2634
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2635
2636
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2637
(Aaron Bentley)
2638
2639
INTERNALS:
2640
2641
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2642
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2643
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2644
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2645
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2646
(John Arbash Meinel)
2647
2648
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2649
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2650
(Aaron Bentley)
2651
2652
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2653
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2654
(John Arbash Meinel)
2655
2656
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2657
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2658
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2659
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2660
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2661
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2662
2663
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2664
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2665
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2666
2667
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2668
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2669
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2670
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2671
repository.
2672
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2673
2674
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2675
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2676
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2677
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2678
2679
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2680
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2681
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2682
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2683
2684
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2685
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2686
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2689
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2690
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2691
2692
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2693
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2694
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2695
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2696
2697
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2698
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2699
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2700
2701
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2702
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2703
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2704
2705
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2706
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2707
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2708
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2709
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2710
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2711
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2712
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2713
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2714
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2715
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2716
2717
BUGFIXES:
2718
2719
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2720
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2721
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2722
2723
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2724
(Aaron Bentley)
2725
2726
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2727
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2728
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2729
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2730
2731
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2732
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2733
#83954).
2734
2735
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2736
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2737
2738
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2739
2740
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2741
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2742
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2743
2744
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2745
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2746
2747
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2748
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2749
2750
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2751
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2752
2753
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2754
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2755
2756
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2757
2758
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2759
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2760
2761
TESTING:
2762
2763
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2764
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2765

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
2768
--------------------
2769
2770
IMPROVEMENTS:
2771
2772
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2773
2774
BUG FIXES:
2775
2776
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2777
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2778
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2779
2780
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2781
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2782
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2785
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2786
-----------------------
2787
2788
IMPROVEMENTS:
2789
2790
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2791
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2792
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2793
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2794
2795
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2796
(Marius Kruger)
2797
2798
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2799
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2800
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2801
2802
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2803
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2804
2805
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2806
(Aaron Bentley)
2807
2808
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2809
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2810
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2811
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2812
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2813
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2814
2815
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2816
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2817
should enable you to do::
2818
2819
[/home/user/project]
2820
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2821
push_location:policy = appendpath
2822
2823
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2824
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2825
(James Henstridge)
2826
2827
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2828
for each file. For example::
2829
2830
$ bzr status --short
2831
A foo
2832
A bar
2833
D baz
2834
? wooley
2835
2836
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2837
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2838
2839
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2840
2841
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2842
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2843
2844
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2845
2846
INTERNALS:
2847
2848
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2849
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2850
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2851
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2852
2853
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2854
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2855
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2856
2857
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2858
2859
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2860
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2861
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2862
(Alexander Belchenko)
2863
2864
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2865
Pool)
2866
2867
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2868
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2869
2870
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2871
2872
BUG FIXES:
2873
2874
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2875
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2876
2877
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2878
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2879
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2880
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2881
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2882
2883
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2884
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2885
2886
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2887
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2888
2889
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2890
matcher.
2891
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2892
2893
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2894
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2895
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2896
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2897
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2898
2899
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2900
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2901
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2902
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2903
2904
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2905
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2906
2907
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2908
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2909
2910
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2911
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2912
2913
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2923
-----------------------
2924
2925
IMPROVEMENTS:
2926
2927
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2928
tree from a branch.
2929
(Daniel Silverstone)
2930
2931
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2932
operations are substantially faster.
2933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2934
2935
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2936
tree from some other url. For example:
2937
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2938
(Daniel Silverstone)
2939
2940
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2941
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2942
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2943
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2944
2945
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2946
(Andrew Bennetts)
2947
2948
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2949
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2950
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2951
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2952
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2953
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2954
2955
INTERNALS:
2956
2957
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2958
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2959
(Martin Pool)
2960
2961
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2962
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2963
(John Arbash Meinel)
2964
2965
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2966
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2967
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2968
(John Arbash Meinel)
2969
2970
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2971
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2972
2973
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2974
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2975
2976
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2977
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2978
Bennetts)
2979
2980
BUG FIXES:
2981
2982
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2983
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2984
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2985
2986
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2987
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2988
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2989
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2990
2991
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2992
2993
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2994
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2995
2996
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2997
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2998
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2999
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3000
3001
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3002
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3003
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3004
3005
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3006
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3007
them as full references rather than integers.
3008
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3009
3010
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3011
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3012
3013
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3014
3015
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3016
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3017
3018
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3019
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3020
3021
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3022
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3023
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3024
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3025
3026
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3027
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3028
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3029
3030
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3031
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3032
3033
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3034
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3035
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3036
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3037
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3038
3039
TESTING:
3040
3041
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3042
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3045
--------------------
3046
3047
INTERNALS:
3048
3049
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3050
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3051
(John Arbash Meinel)
3052
3053
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3054
-----------------------
3055
3056
IMPROVEMENTS:
3057
3058
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3059
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3060
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3061
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3062
3063
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3064
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3065
3066
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3067
3068
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3069
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3070
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3071
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3072
3073
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3074
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3075
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3076
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3077
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3078
3079
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3080
3081
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3082
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3083
3084
INTERNALS:
3085
3086
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3087
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3088
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3089
3090
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3091
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3092
(John Arbash Meinel)
3093
3094
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3095
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3096
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3097
3098
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3099
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3100
(Aaron Bentley)
3101
3102
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3103
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3104
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3105
3106
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3107
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3108
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3109
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3110
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3111
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3112
3113
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3114
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3115
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3116
(Robert Collins)
3117
3118
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3119
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3120
3121
BUG FIXES:
3122
3123
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3124
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3125
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3126
#63360, #66349)
3127
3128
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3129
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3130
3131
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3132
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3133
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3134
3135
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3136
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3137
3138
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3139
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3140
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3141
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3142
3143
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3144
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3145
3146
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3147
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3148
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3149
3150
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3151
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3152
3153
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3154
3155
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3156
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3157
#32054)
3158
3159
TESTING:
3160
3161
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3162
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3163
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3164
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3165
3166
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3167
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3168
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3169
3170
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
3179
3180
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3181
3182
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3183
Arbash Meinel).
3184
3185
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3186
-----------------------
3187
3188
IMPROVEMENTS:
3189
3190
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3191
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3192
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3193
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3194
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3195
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3196
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3197
3198
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3199
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3200
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3203
3204
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3205
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3206
3207
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3208
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3209
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3210
(Robert Collins)
3211
3212
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3213
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3214
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3215
(John Arbash Meinel)
3216
3217
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3218
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3219
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3220
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3221
Pool)
3222
3223
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3224
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3225
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3226
(John Arbash Meinel)
3227
3228
BUG FIXES:
3229
3230
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3231
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3232
3233
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3234
3235
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3236
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3237
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3238
3239
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3240
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3241
3242
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3243
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3244
3245
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3246
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3247
3248
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3249
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3250
3251
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3252
3253
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3254
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3255
3256
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3257
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3258
3259
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3260
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3261
3262
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3263
(John Arbash Meinel)
3264
3265
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3266
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3267
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3268
3269
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3270
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3271
3272
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3273
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3274
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3275
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3276
3277
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3278
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3279
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3280
3281
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3282
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3283
3284
PORTABILITY:
3285
3286
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3287
3288
INTERNALS:
3289
3290
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3291
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3292
(John Arbash Meinel)
3293
3294
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3295
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3296
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3297
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3298
3299
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3300
(Andrew Bennetts)
3301
3302
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3303
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3304
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3305
3306
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3307
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3308
3309
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3310
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3311
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3312
3313
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3314
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3315
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3316
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3317
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3318
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3319
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3320
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3321
caller to repeat their request.
3322
(John Arbash Meinel)
3323
3324
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3325
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3326
3327
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3328
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3329
3330
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3331
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3332
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3333
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3334
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3335
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3336
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3337
3338
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3339
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3340
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3341
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3342
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3343
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3344
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3345
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3346
(Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3349
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3350
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3351
3352
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3353
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3356
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3357
3358
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3359
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3360
3361
TESTING:
3362
3363
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3364
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3365
3366
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3367
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3368
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3369
3370
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3371
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3372
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3373
3374
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3375
--------------------
3376
3377
IMPROVEMENTS:
3378
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3379
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3380
3381
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3382
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3383
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3384
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3385
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3386
3387
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3388
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3389
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3390
3391
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3392
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3393
3394
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3395
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3396
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3397
3398
BUG FIXES:
3399
3400
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3401
3402
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3403
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3404
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3405
3406
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3407
3408
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3409
3410
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3411
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3412
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3413
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3414
3415
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3416
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3417
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3418
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3419
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3420
3421
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3422
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3423
3424
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3425
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3426
3427
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3428
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3429
3430
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3431
in handling of revision properties.
3432
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3433
3434
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3435
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3436
3437
INTERNALS:
3438
3439
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3440
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3441
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3442
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3443
(John Arbash Meinel)
3444
3445
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3446
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3447
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3448
3449
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3450
---------------------
3451
3452
SURPRISES:
3453
3454
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3455
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3456
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3457
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3458
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3459
a more conservative list than the old default.
3460
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3461
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3462
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3463
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3464
3465
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3466
to more locations than just branch locations.
3467
(Aaron Bentley)
3468
3469
IMPROVEMENTS:
3470
3471
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3472
revno:N:branch. For example,
3473
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3474
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3475
3476
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3477
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3478
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3479
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3480
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3481
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3482
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3483
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3484
#42517, #42514)
3485
3486
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3487
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3488
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3489
(Malone #3507)
3490
3491
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3492
(Alexander Belchenko)
3493
3494
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3495
3496
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3497
(Robert Collins).
3498
3499
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3500
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3501
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3502
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3503
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3504
(John Arbash Meinel)
3505
3506
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3507
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3508
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3509
grained analysis of performance.
3510
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3511
3512
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3513
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3514
3515
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3516
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3517
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3518
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3519
file. (Robert Collins).
3520
3521
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3522
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3523
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3524
3525
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3526
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3527
Matthieu Moy)
3528
3529
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3530
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3531
3532
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3533
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3534
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3535
the same way you would apply another branch.
3536
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3537
3538
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3539
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3540
3541
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3542
(Michael Ellerman)
3543
3544
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3545
(Aaron Bentley)
3546
3547
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3548
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3549
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3550
3551
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3552
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3553
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3554
3555
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3556
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3557
3558
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3559
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3560
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3561
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3562
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3563
3564
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3565
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3566
3567
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3568
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3569
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3570
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3571
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3572
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3573
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3574
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3575
3576
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3577
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3578
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3579
3580
BUG FIXES:
3581
3582
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3583
tests not to run.
3584
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3585
3586
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3587
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3588
3589
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3590
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3591
3592
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3593
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3594
3595
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3596
3597
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3598
(John Arbash Meinel)
3599
3600
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3601
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3602
3603
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3604
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3605
and y.
3606
3607
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3608
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3609
3610
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3611
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3612
3613
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3614
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3615
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3616
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3617
3618
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3619
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3620
3621
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3622
3623
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3624
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3625
3626
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3627
3628
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3629
3630
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3631
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3632
3633
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3634
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3635
3636
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3637
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3638
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3639
3640
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3641
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3642
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3643
3644
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3645
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3646
3647
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3648
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3649
3650
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3651
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3652
3653
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3654
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3655
3656
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3657
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3658
3659
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3660
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3661
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3662
3663
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3664
3665
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3666
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3667
3668
INTERNALS:
3669
3670
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3671
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3672
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3673
3674
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3675
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3676
3677
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3678
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3679
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3680
3681
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3682
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3683
3684
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3685
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3686
(Martin Pool)
3687
3688
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3689
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3690
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3691
3692
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3693
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3694
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3695
3696
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3697
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3698
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3699
3700
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3701
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3702
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3703
3704
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3705
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3706
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3707
3708
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3709
instead. (Robert Collins)
3710
3711
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3728
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3729
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3730
3731
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3732
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
3745
3746
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3747
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3748

3749
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3750
3751
NEW FEATURES:
3752
3753
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3762
3763

3768
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3769
-------------------
3770
3771
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3772
3773
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3774
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3775
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3776
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3777
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3778
will keep the same format.
3779
3780
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3781
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3782
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3783
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3784
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3785
3786
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3787
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3788
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3789
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3790
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3791
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3792
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3793
3794
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3795
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3796
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3797
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3798
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3799
3800
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3801
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3802
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3803
arrangement.
3804
3805
3806
IMPROVEMENTS:
3807
3808
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3809
convention. Paths now take the form::
3810
3811
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3812
or
3813
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3814
3815
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3816
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3817
3818
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3819
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3820
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3821
3822
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3823
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3824
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3825
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3826
3827
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3828
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3829
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3830
3831
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3832
3833
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3834
3835
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3836
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3837
commits::
3838
3839
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3840
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3841
| xargs bzr re-sign
3842
3843
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3844
3845
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3846
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3847
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3848
(Robert Collins)
3849
3850
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3851
3852
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3853
3854
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3855
'.moved'.
3856
3857
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3858
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3859
3860
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3861
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3862
Daniel Silverstone)
3863
3864
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3865
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3866
Martin Pool)
3867
3868
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3869
3870
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3871
3872
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3873
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3874
3875
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3876
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3877
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3878
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3879
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3880
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3881
3882
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3883
3884
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3885
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3886
(Robert Collins)
3887
3888
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3889
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3890
3891
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3892
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3893
3894
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3895
3896
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3897
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3898
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3899
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3900
specification by Martin Pool.
3901
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3902
3903
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3904
Belchenko)
3905
3906
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3907
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3908
3909
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3910
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3911
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3912
3913
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3914
3915
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3916
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3917
(Robert Collins)
3918
3919
CHANGES:
3920
3921
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3922
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3923
3924
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3925
3926
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3927
3928
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3929
(Olaf Conradi)
3930
3931
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3932
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3933
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3934
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3935
3936
INTERNALS:
3937
3938
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3939
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3940
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3941
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3942
3943
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3944
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3945
tried. (Martin Pool)
3946
3947
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3948
(Martin Pool)
3949
3950
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3951
3952
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3953
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3954
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3955
3956
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3957
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3958
3959
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3960
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3961
paths. (Robert Collins)
3962
3963
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3964
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3965
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3966
3967
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3968
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3969
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3970
3971
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3972
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3973
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3974
3975
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3976
(Olaf Conradi)
3977
3978
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3979
(Olaf Conradi)
3980
3981
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3982
3983
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3984
3985
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3986
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3987
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3988
(Robert Collins)
3989
3990
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3991
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3992
3993
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3994
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3995
check. (Robert Collins)
3996
3997
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3998
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3999
4000
TESTING:
4001
4002
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4003
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4004
4005
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4006
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4007
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4008
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4009
4010
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4011
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4012
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4013
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4014
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4015
4016
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4017
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4018
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4019
4020
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4021
4022
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4023
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4024

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4026
------------------
4027
4028
CHANGES:
4029
4030
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4031
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4032
4033
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4034
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4035
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4036
(Johan Rydberg)
4037
4038
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4039
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4040
4041
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4042
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4043
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4044
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4045
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4046
4047
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4048
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4049
used. (Robert Collins)
4050
4051
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4052
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4053
(James Henstridge)
4054
4055
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4056
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4057
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4058
4059
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4060
ignore list.
4061
4062
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4063
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4064
4065
IMPROVEMENTS:
4066
4067
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4068
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4069
4070
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4071
4072
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4073
4074
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4075
tree. (Robert Collins)
4076
4077
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4078
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4079
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4080
(Robert Collins)
4081
4082
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4083
that they be kept.
4084
4085
* Tweaks to short log printing
4086
4087
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4088
(Aaron Bentley)
4089
4090
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4091
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4092
4093
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4094
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4095
4096
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4097
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4098
4099
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4100
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4101
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4102
4103
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4104
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4105
4106
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4107
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4108
requests.
4109
4110
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4111
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4112
4113
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4114
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4115
4116
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4117
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4118
4119
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4120
(Denys Duchier)
4121
4122
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4123
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4124
4125
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4126
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4127
4128
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4129
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4130
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4131
4132
BUG FIXES:
4133
4134
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4135
4136
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4137
4138
* Error when run with -OO
4139
4140
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4141
(Martin Pool)
4142
4143
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4144
4145
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4146
4147
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4148
ignored by diff and status
4149
4150
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4151
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4152
4153
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4154
4155
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4156
4157
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4158
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4159
4160
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4161
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4162
4163
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4164
(Harald Meland)
4165
4166
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4167
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4168
4169
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4170
4171
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4172
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4173
4174
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4175
(Martin Pool)
4176
4177
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4178
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4179
4180
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4181
4182
TESTING:
4183
4184
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4185
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4186
4187
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4188
4189
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4190
4191
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4192
4193
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4194
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4195
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4196
4197
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4198
4199
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4200
(John Arbash Meinel)
4201
4202
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4203
4204
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4205
If adding a new test script please add that to
4206
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4207
4208
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4209
imported. (Martin Pool)
4210
4211
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4212
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4213
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4214
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4215
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4216
(Robert Collins)
4217
4218
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4219
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4220
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4221
4222
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4223
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4224
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4225
4226
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4227
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4228
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4229
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4230
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4231
(Robert Collins).
4232
4233
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4234
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4235
(Robert Collins).
4236
4237
INTERNALS:
4238
4239
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4240
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4241
4242
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4243
function. (Robert Collins)
4244
4245
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4246
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4247
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4248
4249
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4250
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4251
(Robert Collins)
4252
4253
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4254
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4255
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4256
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4257
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4258
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4259
version. (Robert Collins)
4260
4261
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4262
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4263
4264
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4265
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4266
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4267
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4268
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4269
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4270
4271
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4272
(Robert Collins)
4273
4274
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4275
4276
add()
4277
commit()
4278
move()
4279
rename_one()
4280
unknowns()
4281
4282
(Robert Collins)
4283
4284
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4285
4286
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4287
4288
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4289
Pool)
4290
4291
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4292
query method. (Robert Collins)
4293
4294
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4295
(Denys Duchier)
4296
4297
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4298
(Michael Ellerman)
4299
4300
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4301
(Michael Ellerman)
4302
4303
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4304
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4305
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4306
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4307
4308
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4309
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4310
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4311
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4312
4313
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4314
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4315

4317
------------------

4319
IMPROVEMENTS:
4320
4321
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4322
(John A Meinel)
4323
4324
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4325
conflicts.
4326
(Aaron Bentley)
4327
4328
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4329
a separator, not ':'.
4330
(Aaron Bentley)
4331
4332
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4333
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4334
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4335
4336
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4337
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4338
(Robert Collins)
4339
4340
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4341
has been added that suppresses all output.
4342
4343
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4344
Adams.
4345
4346
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4347
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4348
4349
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4350
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4351
4352
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4353
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4354
4355
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4356
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4357
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4358
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4359
4360
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4361
4362
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4363
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4364
4365
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4366
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4367
4368
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4369
output directory, if one was supplied.
4370
4371
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4372
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4373
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4374
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4375
4376
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4377
4378
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4379
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4380
4381
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4382
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4383
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4384
4385
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4386
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4387
4388
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4389
(Aaron Bentley)
4390
4391
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4392
4393
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4394
4395
TESTING:
4396
4397
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4398
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4399
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4400
4401
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4402
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4403
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4404
4405
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4406
is given. (Martin Pool)
4407
4408
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4409
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4410
file. (Robert Collins)
4411
4412
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4413
(Martin Pool)
4414
4415
INTERNALS:
4416
4417
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4418
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4419
representation. (Martin Pool).
4420
4421
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4422
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4423
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4424
4425
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4426
(Robert Collins)
4427
4428
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4429
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4430
Magnus Therning.
4431
4432
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4433
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4434
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4435
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4436
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4437
4438
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4439
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4440
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4441
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4442
python path. (Robert Collins)
4443
4444
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4445
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4446
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4447
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4448
4449
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4450
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4451
4452
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4453
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4454
(Robert Collins)
4455
4456
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4457
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4458
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4459
4460
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4461
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4462
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4463
4464
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4465
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4466
4467
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4468
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4469
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4470
(Robert Collins)
4471
4472
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4473
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4474
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4475
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4476
(Robert Collins)
4477
4478
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4479
(Robert Collins)
4480
4481
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4482
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4483
(Robert Collins)
4484
4485
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4486
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4487
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4488
4489
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4490
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4491
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4492
4493
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4494
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4495
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4496
4497
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4498
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4499
4500
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4501
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4502
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4503
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4504
caller. (Robert Collins)
4505
4506
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4507
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4508
(Robert Collins).
4509
4510
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4511
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4512
(Aaron Bentley)
4513
4514
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4515
4516
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4517
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4518
4519
BUG FIXES:
4520
4521
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4522
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4523
4524
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4525
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4526

4528
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4529
--------------------
4530
4531
BUG FIXES:
4532
4533
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4534
allow directories to be listed.
4535
4536
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4537
upgrading branch format.
4538
4539
PERFORMANCE:
4540
4541
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4545
------------------
4546
4547
NOTES:
4548
4549
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4550
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4551
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4552
high-latency connections.
4553
4554
BUG FIXES:
4555
4556
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4557
Rob Weir.
4558
4559
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4560
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4561
4562
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4563
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4564
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4565
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4566
4567
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4568
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4569
4570
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4571
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4572
4573
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4574
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4575
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4576
4577
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4578
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4579
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4580
Robert Collins
4581
4582
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4583
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4584
4585
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4586
different partial views of history.
4587
4588
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4589
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4590
4591
IMPROVEMENTS:
4592
4593
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4594
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4595
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4596
4597
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4598
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4599
'bzr upgrade'.
4600
4601
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4602
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4603
4604
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4605
Niemeyer.
4606
4607
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4608
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4609
4610
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4611
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4612
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4613
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4614
4615
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4616
4617
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4618
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4619
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4620
4621
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4622
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4623
4624
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4625
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4626
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4627
4628
4629
INTERNALS:
4630
4631
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4632
for your viewing pleasure.
4633
4634
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4635
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4636
4637
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4638
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4639
handling of such circumstances.
4640
4641
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4642
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4643
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4644
4645
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4646
4647
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4648
we call them revisions not patches.
4649
4650
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4651
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4652
4653
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4654
giving the revision *of that file*.
4655
4656
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4657
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4658
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4659
4660
TESTING:
4661
4662
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4663
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4664
4665
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4666
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4667
4668
4669
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4670
--------------------
4671
4672
BUG FIXES:
4673
4674
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4675
4676
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4677
(Robert Collins).
4678
4679
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4680
4681
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4682
4683
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4684
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4685
4686
IMPROVEMENTS:
4687
4688
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4689
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4690
4691
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4692
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4693
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4694
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4695
Robey Pointer
4696
4697
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4698
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4699
4700
INTERNALS:
4701
4702
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4703
4704
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4705
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4706
4707
4708
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4709
--------------------
4710
4711
IMPROVEMENTS:
4712
4713
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4714
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4715
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4716
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4717
Michael Ellerman.
4718
4719
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4720
(Nir Soffer)
4721
4722
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4723
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4724
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4725
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4726
for the operating system is still tried.
4727
4728
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4729
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4730
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4731
4732
4733
INTERNALS:
4734
4735
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4736
4737
BUG FIXES:
4738
4739
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4740
4741
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4742
branch.
4743
4744
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4745
read.
4746
4747
4748
PORTABILITY:
4749
4750
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4751
4752
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4753
4754
4755
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4756
--------------------
4757
4758
NEW FEATURES:
4759
4760
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4761
help with intelligent shell completion.
4762
4763
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4764
4765
4766
ENHANCEMENTS:
4767
4768
* Much better merge support.
4769
4770
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4771
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4772
like emacs smerge.
4773
4774
4775
BUG FIXES:
4776
4777
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4778
mention revisions that are not present.
4779
4780
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4781
4782
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4783
4784
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4785
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4786
4787
4788
CHANGES:
4789
4790
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4791
4792
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4793
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4794
--help themselves.
4795
4796
4797
LIBRARY:
4798
4799
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4800
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4801
libraries.
4802
4803
4804
4805
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4806
--------------------
4807
4808
NEW FEATURES:
4809
4810
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4811
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4812
4813
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4814
4815
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4816
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4817
4818
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4819
FOO.
4820
4821
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4822
4823
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4824
the Unix command.
4825
4826
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4827
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4828
4829
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4830
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4831
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4832
4833
4834
ENHANCEMENTS:
4835
4836
* Faster working tree operations.
4837
4838
4839
CHANGES:
4840
4841
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4842
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4843
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4844
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4845
4846
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4847
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4848
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4849
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4850
standard plugins directory.
4851
4852
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4853
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4854
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4855
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4856
4857
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4858
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4859
4860
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4861
disk.
4862
4863
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4864
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4865
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4866
4867
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4868
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4869
4870
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4871
line options must come before the command name because they
4872
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4873
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4874
it.
4875
4876
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4877
4878
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4879
is available with ``--short``.
4880
4881
4882
BUG FIXES:
4883
4884
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4885
4886
4887
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4888
---------------------
4889
4890
CHANGES:
4891
4892
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4893
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4894
4895
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4896
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4897
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4898
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4899
4900
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4901
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4902
with the ``--forward`` option.
4903
4904
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4905
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4906
field.
4907
4908
4909
ENHANCEMENTS:
4910
4911
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4912
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4913
4914
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4915
4916
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4917
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4918
4919
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4920
4921
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4922
either read or write mode.
4923
4924
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4925
4926
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4927
affected that file.
4928
4929
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4930
4931
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4932
suggested by LarstiQ.
4933
4934
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4935
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4936
4937
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4938
a filename.
4939
4940
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4941
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4942
4943
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4944
haven't changed since the previous time.
4945
4946
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4947
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4948
4949
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4950
4951
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4952
4953
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4954
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4955
4956
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4957
options through to an external GNU diff.
4958
4959
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4960
their contents.
4961
4962
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4963
from a branch.
4964
4965
4966
BUG FIXES:
4967
4968
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4969
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4970
4971
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4972
metacharacters.
4973
4974
4975
TESTING:
4976
4977
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4978
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4979
the tests.
4980
4981
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4982
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4983
4984
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4985
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4986
4987
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4988
under a different version.
4989
4990
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4991
4992
4993
INTERNAL:
4994
4995
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4996
4997
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4998
Scott James Remnant.
4999
5000
* Better help messages for many commands.
5001
5002
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5003
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5004
5005
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5006
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5007
5008
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5009
5010
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5011
5012
* New AtomicFile class.
5013
5014
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5015
5016
5017
PORTABILITY:
5018
5019
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5020
2.4 is now only recommended.

5022
5023
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5024
---------------------
5025
5026
ENHANCEMENTS:
5027
5028
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5029
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5030
5031
* More default ignore patterns.
5032
5033
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5034
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5035
5036
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5037
5038
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5039
by Jason Diamon.
5040
5041
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5042
5043
5044
CHANGES:
5045
5046
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5047
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5048
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5049
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5050
there are DNS problems.
5051
5052
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5053
5054
5055
BUG FIXES:
5056
5057
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5058
5059
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5060
5061
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5062
trailing newlines properly.
5063
5064
5065
INTERNAL:
5066
5067
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5068
Matt Brubeck.
5069
5070
* More tests in test.sh.
5071
5072
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5073
directory and delete it when done.
5074
5075
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5076
5077
5078
PORTABILITY:
5079
5080
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5081
Bennetts.
5082
5083
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5084
from QuantumG.

5087
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5088
---------------------
5089
5090
ENHANCEMENTS:
5091
5092
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5093
in the tree.
5094
5095
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5096
5097
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5098
and/or directory.
5099
5100
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5101
directory.
5102
5103
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5104
5105
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5106
5107
CHANGES:
5108
5109
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5110
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5111
will do for now.)
5112
5113
PORTABILITY:
5114
5115
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5116
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5117
Nielsen.
5118
5119
INTERNAL:
5120
5121
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5122
5123
TESTING:
5124
5125
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
5126

5136
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5137
-----------------------------------
5138
5139
ENHANCEMENTS:
5140
5141
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5142
5143
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5144
rather than replacing it.
5145
5146
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5147
5148
* More help topics.
5149
5150
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5151
