IN DEVELOPMENT

--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
13
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
14
15
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
16
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
17
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
18
19
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
20
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
21
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
22
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
23
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
24
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
25
(Aaron Bentley)
26
27
FEATURES:
28
29
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
30
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
31
32
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
33
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
34
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
35
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
36
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
37
38
IMPROVEMENTS:
39
40
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
41
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
42
43
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
44
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
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
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
55
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
56
57
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
58
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
59
60
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
61
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
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
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
72
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
73
(Martin Pool)
74
75
TESTING:
76
77
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
78
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
79
(Vincent Ladeuil)
80
81
INTERNALS:
82
83
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
84
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
85
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
86
87
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
88
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
89
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
90
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
91
92
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
93
94
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
95
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
96
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
97
server. (Robert Collins)
98
99
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
100
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
101
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
102
103
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
104
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
105
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
106
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
107
108
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
109
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
110
111
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
112
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
113
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
114
115
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
116
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
117
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
118
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
119
120
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
121
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
122
123
124
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
125
------------------
126
127
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
128
129
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
130
---------------------
131
132
CHANGES:
133
134
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
135
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
136
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
137
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
138
139
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
140
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
141
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
142
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
143
144
FEATURES:
145
146
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
147
(Lukáš Lalinský)
148
149
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
150
(Aaron Bentley)
151
152
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
153
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
154
155
IMPROVEMENTS:
156
157
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
158
#90049)
159
160
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
161
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
162
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
163
164
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
165
166
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
167
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
168
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
169
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
170
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
171
172
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
173
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
174
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
175
176
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
177
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
178
179
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
180
(Vincent Ladeuil)
181
182
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
183
184
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
185
186
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
187
(Aaron Bentley)
188
189
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
190
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
191
192
BUGFIXES:
193
194
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
195
(Martin Pool, #180208)
196
197
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
198
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
199
200
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
201
(Aaron Bentley)
202
203
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
204
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
205
206
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
207
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
208
209
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
210
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
211
212
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
213
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
214
215
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
216
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
217
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
218
219
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
221
222
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
223
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
224
(Aaron Bentley)
225
226
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
227
228
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
229
user:pass embedded in the urls.
230
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
231
232
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
233
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
234
235
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
236
(Aaron Bentley)
237
238
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
239
#148087)
240
241
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
242
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
243
244
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
245
#137681)
246
247
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
248
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
249
(Aaron Bentley)
250
251
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
252
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
254
255
DOCUMENTATION:
256
257
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
258
(Ian Clatworthy)
259
260
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
261
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
262
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
263
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
264
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
265
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
266
267
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
268
269
INTERNALS:
270
271
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
272
(Aaron Bentley)
273
274
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
275
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
276
277
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
278
279
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
280
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
281
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
282
Robert Collins)
283
284
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
285
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
286
287
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
288
(Vincent Ladeuil)
289
290
API BREAKS:
291
292
TESTING:
293
294
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
295
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
296
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
297
298
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
299
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
300
(Robert Collins)
301
302
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
303
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
304
305
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
306
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
307
308
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
309
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
310
311
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
312
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
313
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
314
315
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
316
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
317
318
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
319
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
320
321
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
322
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
323
(Vincent Ladeuil)
324
325
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
326
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
327
328
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
329
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
330
331
332
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
333
------------------
334
335
DOCUMENTATION:
336
337
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
338
339
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
340
(Ian Clatworthy)
341
342
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
343
344
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
345
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
346
(Ian Clatworthy)
347
348
349
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
350
---------------------
351
352
CHANGES:
353
354
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
355
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
356
by mail to the mailing list.
357
(Martin Pool)
358
359
BUGFIXES:
360
361
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
362
363
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
364
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
365
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
366
feedback but also incur more latency.
367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
368
369
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
370
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
371
372
DOCUMENTATION:
373
374
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
375
376
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
377
(Ian Clatworthy)
378
379
INTERNALS:
380
381
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
382
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
383
wraps its output in a StringIO.
384
(Vincent Ladeuil)
385
386
387
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
388
---------------------
389
390
IMPROVEMENTS:
391
392
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
393
394
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
395
(Aaron Bentley)
396
397
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
398
Nordhoff, #172612)
399
400
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
401
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
402
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
403
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
404
405
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
406
(Kent Gibson)
407
408
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
409
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
410
411
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
412
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
413
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
414
415
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
416
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
417
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
418
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
419
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
420
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
421
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
422
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
423
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
424
425
INTERNALS:
426
427
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
428
(Vincent Ladeuil)
429
430
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
431
432
BUGFIXES:
433
434
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
435
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
436
437
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
438
filename to user.
439
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
440
441
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
442
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
443
required.
444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
445
446
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
447
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
448
449
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
450
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
451
452
API BREAKS:
453
454
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
455
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
456
457
458
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
459
---------------------
460
461
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
462
463
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
464
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
465
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.

This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
469
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
470
471
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
472
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
473
474
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
475
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
476
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
477
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
478
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
479
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
480
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
481
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
482
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
483
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
484
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
485
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
489
490
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
491
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
492
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
493
494
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
495
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
496
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html

(Martin Pool)
498
499
FEATURES:
500
501
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
502
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
503
supported transports.
504
(Vincent Ladeuil)
505
506
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
507
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
508
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
509
510
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
511
(Robert Collins, #154173)
512
513
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
514
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
515
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
516
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
517
518
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
519
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
520
521
PERFORMANCE:
522
523
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
524
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
525
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
526
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
527
528
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
529
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
530
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
531
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
532
533
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
534
(Robert Collins, #88319)
535
536
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
537
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
538
539
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
540
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
541
542
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
543
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
544
(Aaron Bentley)
545
546
IMPROVEMENTS:
547
548
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
549
(Aaron Bentley)
550
551
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
552
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
553
(Lukáš Lalinský)
554
555
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
556
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
557
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
558
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
559
560
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
561
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
562
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
563
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

BUG FIXES:
568
569
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
570
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
571
572
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
573
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
574
575
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
576
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
577
578
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
580
581
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
582
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
583
584
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
585
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
586
587
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
589
590
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
591
(Aaron Bentley)
592
593
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
595
596
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
597
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
599
600
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
601
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
602
603
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
604
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
605
606
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
607
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
608
609
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
611
612
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
613
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
614
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
615
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
616
on them.
617
(Martin Pool, #164637)
618
619
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
620
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
622
623
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
624
(Robert Collins, #161240)
625
626
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
627
to be reconciled.
628
(Martin Pool, #164443)
629
630
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
631
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
632
633
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
634
specify a port in urls.
635
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
636
637
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
638
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
639
640
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
641
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
642
643
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
644
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
645
646
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
647
(Robert Collins, #153789)
648
649
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
650
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
651
(Robert Collins, #165304).
652
653
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
654
655
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
656
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
657
658
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
659
Watkins, #152811)
660
661
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
662
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
663
664
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
665
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
666
667
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
668
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
669
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
670
671
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
672
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
673
674
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
675
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
676
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
677
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
678
679
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
680
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
681
682
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
683
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
684
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
685
686
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
687
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
688
689
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
691
692
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
694
695
API BREAKS:
696
697
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
698
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
699
700
* The return value of
701
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
702
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
703
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
704
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
705
706
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
707
(Robert Collins)
708
709
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
710
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
711
format.
712
(Martin Pool)
713
714
INTERNALS:
715
716
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
717
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
718
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
719
Bennetts)
720
721
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
722
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
723
724
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
741
742
CHANGES:
743
744
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
745
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
746
747
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
748
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
749
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
750
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
751
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
752
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
753
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
754
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
755
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
756
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
757
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
758
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
759
(Robert Collins)
760
761
FEATURES:
762
763
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
764
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
765
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
766
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
767
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
768
for further details. (Robert Collins)
769
770
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
771
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
772
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
773
(Robert Collins)
774
775
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
776
777
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
778
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
779
780
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
781
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
782
(Aaron Bentley)
783
784
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
785
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
786
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
787
788
PERFORMANCE:
789
790
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
791
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
792
793
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
794
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
795
796
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
797
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
798
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
799
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
800
801
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
802
(Robert Collins)
803
804
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
805
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
806
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
807
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
808
809
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
810
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
811
812
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
813
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
814
815
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
816
the contents. (Robert Collins)
817
818
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
819
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
820
821
IMPROVEMENTS:
822
823
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
824
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
825
826
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
827
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
828
829
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
830
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
831
832
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
833
(Martin Pool, #63894)
834
835
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
836
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
837
838
DOCUMENTATION:
839
840
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
841
842
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
843
(Ian Clatworthy)
844
845
BUG FIXES:
846
847
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
848
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
849
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
850
851
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
852
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
853
854
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
855
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
856
857
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
858
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
859
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
860
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
861
862
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
863
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
864
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
865
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
866
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
867
868
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
869
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
870
paramiko.
871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
872
873
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
874
875
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
876
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
877
878
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
879
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
880
881
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
882
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
883
884
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
885
contains a symbolic link.
886
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
887
888
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
889
(James Westby, #140615)
890
891
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
892
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
894
895
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
896
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
897
(Martin Pool, #144633)
898
899
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
900
901
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
903
904
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
905
will remain opened.
906
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
907
908
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
909
directory to detect leaking tests.
910
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
911
912
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
913
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
914
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
915
916
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
917
(Rob Weir, #141629)
918
919
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
920
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
921
922
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
923
Merwe)
924
925
API BREAKS:
926
927
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
928
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
929
930
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
931
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
932
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
933
934
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
935
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
936
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
937
938
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
939
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
940
941
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
942
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
943
944
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
945
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
946
(Martin Pool)
947
948
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
949
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
950
951
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
952
class that needs it.
953
(Martin Pool)
954
955
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
956
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
957
958
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
959
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
960
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
961
962
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
963
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
964
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
965
(Robert Collins)
966
967
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
968
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
969
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
970
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
971
(Robert Collins)
972
973
INTERNALS:
974
975
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
976
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
977
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
978
979
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
980
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
981
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
982
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
983
984
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
985
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
986
(Robert Collins)
987
988
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
989
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
990
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
991
992
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
993
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
994
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
995
996
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
997
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
998
999
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1000
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1001
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1002
1003
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1004
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1005
1006
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1007
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1008
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1009
1010
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1011
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1012
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1013
1014
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1015
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1016
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1017
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1018
1019
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1020
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1021
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1022
returned. (Robert Collins)
1023
1024
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1025
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1026
1027
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1028
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1029
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1030
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1031
(Robert Collins)
1032
1033
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1034
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1035
1036
TESTING:
1037
1038
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1039
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1040
1041
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1042
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1043
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1044
makes this behavior available to other users.
1045
(Martin Pool)
1046
1047
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1048
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1052
-------------------
1053
1054
BUG FIXES:
1055
1056
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1057
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1058
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1059
1060
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1061
1062
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1063
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1064
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1065
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1066
1067
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1068
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1069
(Andrew Bennetts)

1071
1072
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1073
----------------------
1074
1075
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1076
in bzrlib/remote.py.

1079
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1080
----------------------
1081
1082
CHANGES:
1083
1084
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1085
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1086
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1087
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1088
(Martin Pool)
1089
1090
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1091
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1092
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1093
(Ian Clatworthy)
1094
1095
FEATURES:
1096
1097
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1098
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1099
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1100
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1101
1102
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1103
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1104
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1105
1106
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1107
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1108
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1109
1110
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1111
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1112
1113
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1114
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1115
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1116
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1117
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1118
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1119
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1120
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1121
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1122
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1123
1124
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1125
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1126
1127
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1128
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1129
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1130
1131
BUG FIXES:
1132
1133
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1134
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1135
1136
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1137
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1138
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1139
1140
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1141
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1142
1143
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1144
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1145
1146
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1147
(Aaron Bentley)
1148
1149
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1150
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1151
1152
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1153
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1154
1155
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1156
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1157
1158
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1159
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1160
1161
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1162
1163
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1164
Watkins, #106726)
1165
1166
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1167
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1168
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1169
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1170
1171
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1172
1173
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1174
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1175
#133548)
1176
1177
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1178
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1179
1180
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1181
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1182
#116143)
1183
1184
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1185
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1186
1187
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1188
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1189
1190
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1191
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1192
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1193
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1194
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1195
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1196
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1197
1198
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1199
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1200
1201
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1202
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1203
1204
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1205
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1206
1207
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1209
1210
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1211
connections.
1212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1213
1214
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1215
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1216
1217
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1218
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1219
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1220
1221
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1222
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1223
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1224
1225
IMPROVEMENTS:
1226
1227
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1228
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1229
1230
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1231
(Aaron Bentley)
1232
1233
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1234
(Aaron Bentley)
1235
1236
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1237
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1238
1239
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1240
1241
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1242
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1243
1244
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1245
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1246
1247
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1248
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1249
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1250
space). (Robert Collins)
1251
1252
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1253
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1254
(Ian Clatworthy)
1255
1256
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1257
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1258
1259
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1260
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1261
1262
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1263
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1264
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1265
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1266
1267
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1268
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1269
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1270
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1271
1272
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1273
(Ian Clatworthy)
1274
1275
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1276
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1277
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1278
1279
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1280
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1281
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1282
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1283
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1284
1285
API BREAKS:
1286
1287
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1288
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1289
1290
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1291
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1292
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1293
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1294
affected. (Robert Collins)
1295
1296
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1297
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1298
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1299
(Robert Collins)
1300
1301
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1302
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1303
1304
TESTING:
1305
1306
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1307
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1308
1309
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1310
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1311
1312
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1313
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1314
1315
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1316
(Aaron Bentley)
1317
1318
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1319
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1320
1321
INTERNALS:
1322
1323
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1324
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1325
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1326
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1327
1328
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1329
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1330
1331
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1332
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1333
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1334
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1335
1336
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1337
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1338
present. (Robert Collins)
1339
1340
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1341
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1342
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1343
API. (Robert Collins)
1344
1345
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1346
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1347
(Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1350
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1351
1352
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1353
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1354
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1355
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1356
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1357
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1358
1359
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1360
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1361
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1364
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1365
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1366
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1367
protocol.
1368
1369
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1370
(Aaron Bentley)
1371
1372
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1373
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1374
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1375
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1376
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1377
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1378
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1379
1380
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1381
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1382
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1383
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1384
1385
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1386
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1387
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1388
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1389
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1390
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1391
1392
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1393
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1394
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1395
1396
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1397
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1398

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1401
-------------------
1402
1403
IMPROVEMENTS:
1404
1405
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1406
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1407
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1408
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1409
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1410
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1411
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

API CHANGES:
1416
1417
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1418
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1419
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1420
1421
1422
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1423
----------------------
1424
1425
BUGFIXES:
1426
1427
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1428
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1429
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1430
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1431
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1432
1433
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1435
1436
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1437
anymore.
1438
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1439
1440
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1441
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1442
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1443
1444
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1445
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1446
#111664)
1447
1448
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1449
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1450
1451
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1452
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1453
1454
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1455
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1456
1457
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1458
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1459
1460
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1461
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1462
1463
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1464
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1465
1466
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1467
(Aaron Bentley)
1468
1469
IMPROVEMENTS:
1470
1471
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1472
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1473
1474
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1475
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1476
1477
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1478
the repository (Robert Collins)
1479
1480
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1481
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1482
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1483
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1484
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1485
1486
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1487
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1488
1489
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1490
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1491
(John Arbash Meinel)
1492
1493
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1494
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1495
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1496
about 10%).
1497
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1498
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1499
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1500
(John Arbash Meinel)
1501
1502
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1503
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1504
(Robert Collins)
1505
1506
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1507
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1508
1509
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1510
(Ian Clatworthy)
1511
1512
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1513
1514
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1515
1516
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1517
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1518
1519
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1520
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1521
Meinel)
1522
1523
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1524
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1525
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1526
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1527
1528
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1529
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1530
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1531
1532
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1533
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1534
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1535
1536
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1537
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1538
1539
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1540
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1541
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1542
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1543
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1544
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1545
(Ian Clatworthy)
1546
1547
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1548
(Alexander Belchenko)
1549
1550
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1551
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1552
1553
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1554
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1555
1556
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1557
1558
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1559
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1560
1561
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1562
1563
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1564
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1565
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1566
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1567
1568
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1571
(Robert Collins)
1572
1573
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1574
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1575
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1576
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1577
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1578
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1579
1580
INTERNALS:
1581
1582
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1583
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1584
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1585
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1586
1587
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1588
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1589
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1590
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1591
tests have been refactored too.
1592
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1593
1594
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1595
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1596
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1597
list, it will.
1598
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1599
1600
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1601
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1602
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1603
1604
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1605
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1606
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1607
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1608
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1609
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1610
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1611
1612
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1613
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1614
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1615
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1616
(John Arbash Meinel)
1617
1618
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1619
functionality for testing.
1620
1621
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1622
1623
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1624
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1625
1626
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1627
1628
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1629
(Robert Collins)
1630
1631
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1632
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1633
1634
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1635
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1636
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1637
1638
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1639
(Aaron Bentley)
1640
1641
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1642
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1643
1644
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1645
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1646
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1647
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1648
1649
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1650
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1651
1652
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1653
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1654
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1655
1656
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1657
(Marius Kruger)
1658
1659
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1660
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1661
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1662
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1663
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1664
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1665
1666
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1667
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1668
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1669
many files. (Robert Collins)
1670
1671
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1672
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1673
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1674
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1675
1676
TESTING:
1677
1678
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1679
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1680
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1681
1682
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1683
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1684
1685
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1686
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1687
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1693
BUGFIXES:
1694
1695
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1696

1698
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10

-----------------------
1700
1701
BUGFIXES:
1702
1703
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1704
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1705
1706
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1707
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1708
(James Westby, #122656)
1709
1710
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1711
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1712
1713
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1714
authentication header.
1715
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1716
1717
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1718
1719
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1720
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1721
1722
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1723
1724
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1726
1727
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1728
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1730
1731
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1732
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1733
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1734
1735
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1736
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1737
1738
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1740
1741
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1742
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1743
1744
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1745
1746
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1747
1748
IMPROVEMENTS:
1749
1750
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1751
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1752
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1753
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1754
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1755
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1756
1757
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1758
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1759
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1760
1761
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1762
(Elliot Murphy)
1763
1764
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1765
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1766
1767
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1768
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1769
1770
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1771
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1772
1773
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1774
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1775
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1776
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1777
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1778
1779
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1780
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1781
1782
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1783
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1784
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1785
1786
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1787
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1788
1789
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1790
1791
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1792
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1793
1794
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1795
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1796
(Robert Collins)
1797
1798
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1799
(Martin Pool)
1800
1801
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1802
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1803
1804
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1805
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1806
1807
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1808
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1809
1810
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1811
1812
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1813
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1814
1815
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1816
(Andrew Bennetts)
1817
1818
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1819
1820
* Testing cleanups -
1821
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1822
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1823
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1824
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1825
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1826
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1827
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1828
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1829
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1830
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1831
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1832
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1833
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1834
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1835
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1836
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1837
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1838
(Robert Collins)
1839
1840
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1841
1842
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1843
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1844
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1845
1846
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1847
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1848
1849
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1850
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1851
1852
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1853
1854
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1855
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1856
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1857
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1858
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1859
same location. (Robert Collins)
1860
1861
INTERNALS:
1862
1863
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1864
1865
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1866
1867
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1868
1869
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1870
(Martin Pool)
1871
1872
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1873
(Martin Pool)
1874
1875
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1876
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1877
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1878
1879
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1880
1881
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1882
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1883
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1884
1885
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1886
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1887
1888
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1889
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1890
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1891
1892
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1893
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1894
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1895
1896
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1897
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1898
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1899
1900
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1901
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1902
Martin Pool)
1903
1904
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1905
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1906
1907
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1908
(Alexander Belchenko)
1909
1910
TESTING:
1911
1912
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1913
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1914
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1915
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1916
1917
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1918
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1919
testing. (Robert Collins)
1920
1921
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1922
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1923
1924
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1925
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1926
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1927
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1928
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1929
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1930
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1931
1932
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1933
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1934
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1935
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1936
1937
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1938
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1939
1940
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1941
avoid useless cloning.

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

* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2026
based on split paths, not just string paths.

(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2028

2034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2035
2036
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2037
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2038
2039
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2040
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2041
2042
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2043
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2044
2045
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2046
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2047
2048
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2049
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2050
2051
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in

BUGFIXES:
2059
2060
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2061
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2062
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2063
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2064
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2065
2066
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2067
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2068
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2069
2070
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2071
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2072
2073
IMPROVEMENTS:
2074
2075
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2076
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2077
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2078
2079
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2080
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2081
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of

both. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2090
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2091
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2092
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2093

2103
2104
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

2108
-----------------------

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

2314
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2315
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2316
2317
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2318
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2319
2320
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2321
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2322
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2323
2324
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2325
(Aaron Bentley)
2326
2327
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2328
the file, and does it faster.
2329
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2330
2331
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2332
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2333
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2334
2335
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2336
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2337
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2338
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2339
2340
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2341
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2342
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2343
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2344
2345
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2346
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2347
2348
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2349
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2350
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2351
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2352
Arbash Meinel)
2353
2354
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2355
2356
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2357
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2358
2359
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2360
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2361
2362
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2363
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2364
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2365
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2366
security hole.
2367
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2368
2369
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2371
2372
TESTING:
2373
2374
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2375
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2376
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2377
2378
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2379
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2380
2381
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2382
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2383
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2384
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2385
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2386
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2387
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2388
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2389
2390
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2391
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2392
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2393
2394
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2395
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2396
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2397
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2398
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2399
access.
2400
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2401
2402
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2403
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2404
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2405
2406
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2407
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2408

2413
BUGFIXES:
2414
2415
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2416
(Aaron Bentley)
2417
2418
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2419
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

2423
-----------------------
2424
2425
CHANGES:
2426
2427
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2428
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2429
(Martin Pool)
2430
2431
IMPROVEMENTS:
2432
2433
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2434
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2435
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2436
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2437
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2438
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2439
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2440
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2441
path. (vila)
2442
2443
INTERNALS:
2444
2445
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2446
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2447
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2448
2449
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2450
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2451
(Martin Pool)
2452
2453
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2454
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2455
(John Arbash Meinel)
2456
2457
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2458
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2459
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2460
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2461
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2462
2463
BUGFIXES:
2464
2465
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2466
(vila, #92195)
2467
2468
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2469
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2470
2471
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2472
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2473
2474
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2475
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2476
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2477
2478
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2479
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2480
2481
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2482
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2483
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2484
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2485
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2486
2487
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2488
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2489
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2490
2491
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2492

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2495
-----------------------
2496
2497
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2498
2499
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2500
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2501
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2502
2503
IMPROVEMENTS:
2504
2505
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2506
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2507
2508
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2509
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2510
2511
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2512
2513
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2514
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2515
2516
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2517
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2518
2519
INTERNALS:
2520
2521
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2522
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2523
2524
BUGFIXES:
2525
2526
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2527
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2528
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2529
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2530
2531
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2532
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2533
2534
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2535
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2536
2537
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2538
(Marien Zwart)
2539
2540
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2541
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

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

2764
TESTING:
2765
2766
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2767
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
2771
--------------------
2772
2773
IMPROVEMENTS:
2774
2775
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2776
2777
BUG FIXES:
2778
2779
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2780
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2781
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2782
2783
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2784
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2785
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2788
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2789
-----------------------
2790
2791
IMPROVEMENTS:
2792
2793
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2794
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2795
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2796
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2797
2798
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2799
(Marius Kruger)
2800
2801
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2802
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2803
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2804
2805
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2806
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2807
2808
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2809
(Aaron Bentley)
2810
2811
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2812
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2813
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2814
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2815
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2816
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2817
2818
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2819
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2820
should enable you to do::
2821
2822
[/home/user/project]
2823
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2824
push_location:policy = appendpath
2825
2826
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2827
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2828
(James Henstridge)
2829
2830
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2831
for each file. For example::
2832
2833
$ bzr status --short
2834
A foo
2835
A bar
2836
D baz
2837
? wooley
2838
2839
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2840
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2841
2842
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2843
2844
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2845
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2846
2847
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2848
2849
INTERNALS:
2850
2851
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2852
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2853
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2854
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2855
2856
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2857
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2858
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2859
2860
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2861
2862
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2863
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2864
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2865
(Alexander Belchenko)
2866
2867
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2868
Pool)
2869
2870
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2871
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2872
2873
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2874
2875
BUG FIXES:
2876
2877
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2878
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2879
2880
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2881
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2882
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2883
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2884
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2885
2886
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2887
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2888
2889
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2890
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2891
2892
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2893
matcher.
2894
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2895
2896
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2897
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2898
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2899
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2900
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2901
2902
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2903
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2904
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2905
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2906
2907
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2908
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2909
2910
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2911
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2912
2913
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2914
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2915
2916
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2928
IMPROVEMENTS:
2929
2930
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2931
tree from a branch.
2932
(Daniel Silverstone)
2933
2934
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2935
operations are substantially faster.
2936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2937
2938
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2939
tree from some other url. For example:
2940
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2941
(Daniel Silverstone)
2942
2943
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2944
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2945
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2946
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2947
2948
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2949
(Andrew Bennetts)
2950
2951
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2952
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2953
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2954
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2955
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2956
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2957
2958
INTERNALS:
2959
2960
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2961
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2962
(Martin Pool)
2963
2964
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2965
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2966
(John Arbash Meinel)
2967
2968
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2969
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2970
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2971
(John Arbash Meinel)
2972
2973
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2974
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2975
2976
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2977
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2978
2979
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2980
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2981
Bennetts)
2982
2983
BUG FIXES:
2984
2985
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2986
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2987
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2988
2989
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2990
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2991
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2992
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2993
2994
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2995
2996
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2997
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2998
2999
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3000
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3001
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3003
3004
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3005
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3006
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3007
3008
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3009
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3010
them as full references rather than integers.
3011
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3012
3013
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3014
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3015
3016
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3017
3018
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3019
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3020
3021
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3022
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3023
3024
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3025
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3026
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3027
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3028
3029
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3030
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3031
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3032
3033
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3034
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3035
3036
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3037
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3038
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3039
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3040
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3041
3042
TESTING:
3043
3044
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3045
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3048
--------------------
3049
3050
INTERNALS:
3051
3052
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3053
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3054
(John Arbash Meinel)
3055
3056
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3057
-----------------------
3058
3059
IMPROVEMENTS:
3060
3061
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3062
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3063
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3064
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3065
3066
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3067
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3068
3069
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3070
3071
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3072
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3073
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3074
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3075
3076
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3077
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3078
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3079
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3080
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3081
3082
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3083
3084
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3085
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3086
3087
INTERNALS:
3088
3089
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3090
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3091
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3092
3093
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3094
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3095
(John Arbash Meinel)
3096
3097
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3098
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3099
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3100
3101
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3102
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3103
(Aaron Bentley)
3104
3105
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3106
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3107
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3108
3109
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3110
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3111
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3112
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3113
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3114
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3115
3116
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3117
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3118
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3119
(Robert Collins)
3120
3121
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3122
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3123
3124
BUG FIXES:
3125
3126
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3127
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3128
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3129
#63360, #66349)
3130
3131
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3132
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3133
3134
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3135
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3136
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3137
3138
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3139
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3140
3141
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3142
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3143
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3144
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3145
3146
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3147
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3148
3149
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3150
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3151
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3152
3153
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3154
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3155
3156
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3157
3158
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3159
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3160
#32054)
3161
3162
TESTING:
3163
3164
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3165
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3166
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3167
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3168
3169
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3170
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3171
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3172
3173
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

3189
-----------------------
3190
3191
IMPROVEMENTS:
3192
3193
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3194
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3195
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3196
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3197
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3198
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3199
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3200
3201
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3202
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3203
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3204
3205
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3206
3207
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3208
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3209
3210
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3211
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3212
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3213
(Robert Collins)
3214
3215
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3216
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3217
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3218
(John Arbash Meinel)
3219
3220
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3221
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3222
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3223
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3224
Pool)
3225
3226
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3227
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3228
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3229
(John Arbash Meinel)
3230
3231
BUG FIXES:
3232
3233
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3234
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3235
3236
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3237
3238
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3239
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3240
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3241
3242
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3243
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3244
3245
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3246
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3247
3248
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3250
3251
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3252
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3253
3254
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3255
3256
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3257
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3258
3259
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3260
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3261
3262
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3263
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3264
3265
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3266
(John Arbash Meinel)
3267
3268
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3269
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3270
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3271
3272
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3273
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3274
3275
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3276
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3277
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3278
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3279
3280
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3281
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3282
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3283
3284
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3285
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3286
3287
PORTABILITY:
3288
3289
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3290
3291
INTERNALS:
3292
3293
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3294
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3295
(John Arbash Meinel)
3296
3297
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3298
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3299
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3300
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3301
3302
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3303
(Andrew Bennetts)
3304
3305
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3306
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3307
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3308
3309
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3310
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3311
3312
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3313
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3314
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3317
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3318
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3319
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3320
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3321
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3322
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3323
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3324
caller to repeat their request.
3325
(John Arbash Meinel)
3326
3327
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3328
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3329
3330
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3331
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3332
3333
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3334
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3335
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3336
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3337
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3338
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3339
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3340
3341
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3342
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3343
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3344
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3345
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3346
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3347
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3348
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3349
(Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3352
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3353
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3354
3355
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3356
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3357
3358
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3359
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3360
3361
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3362
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3363
3364
TESTING:
3365
3366
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3367
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3368
3369
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3370
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3371
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3372
3373
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3374
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3375
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3376
3377
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3378
--------------------
3379
3380
IMPROVEMENTS:
3381
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3382
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3383
3384
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3385
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3386
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3387
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3388
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3389
3390
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3391
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3392
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3393
3394
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3395
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3396
3397
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3398
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3399
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3400
3401
BUG FIXES:
3402
3403
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3404
3405
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3406
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3407
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3408
3409
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3410
3411
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3412
3413
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3414
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3415
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3416
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3417
3418
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3419
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3420
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3421
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3422
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3423
3424
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3425
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3426
3427
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3428
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3429
3430
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3431
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3432
3433
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3434
in handling of revision properties.
3435
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3436
3437
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3438
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3439
3440
INTERNALS:
3441
3442
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3443
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3444
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3445
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3446
(John Arbash Meinel)
3447
3448
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3449
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3450
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3451
3452
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3453
---------------------
3454
3455
SURPRISES:
3456
3457
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3458
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3459
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3460
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3461
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3462
a more conservative list than the old default.
3463
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3464
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3465
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3466
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3467
3468
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3469
to more locations than just branch locations.
3470
(Aaron Bentley)
3471
3472
IMPROVEMENTS:
3473
3474
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3475
revno:N:branch. For example,
3476
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3477
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3478
3479
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3480
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3481
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3482
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3483
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3484
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3485
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3486
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3487
#42517, #42514)
3488
3489
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3490
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3491
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3492
(Malone #3507)
3493
3494
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3495
(Alexander Belchenko)
3496
3497
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3498
3499
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3500
(Robert Collins).
3501
3502
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3503
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3504
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3505
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3506
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3507
(John Arbash Meinel)
3508
3509
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3510
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3511
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3512
grained analysis of performance.
3513
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3514
3515
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3516
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3517
3518
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3519
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3520
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3521
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3522
file. (Robert Collins).
3523
3524
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3525
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3526
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3527
3528
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3529
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3530
Matthieu Moy)
3531
3532
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3533
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3534
3535
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3536
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3537
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3538
the same way you would apply another branch.
3539
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3540
3541
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3542
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3543
3544
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3545
(Michael Ellerman)
3546
3547
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3548
(Aaron Bentley)
3549
3550
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3551
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3552
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3553
3554
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3555
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3556
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3557
3558
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3559
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3560
3561
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3562
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3563
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3564
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3565
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3566
3567
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3568
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3569
3570
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3571
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3572
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3573
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3574
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3575
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3576
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3577
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3578
3579
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3580
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3581
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3582
3583
BUG FIXES:
3584
3585
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3586
tests not to run.
3587
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3588
3589
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3590
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3591
3592
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3593
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3594
3595
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3596
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3597
3598
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3599
3600
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3601
(John Arbash Meinel)
3602
3603
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3604
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3605
3606
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3607
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3608
and y.
3609
3610
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3611
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3612
3613
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3614
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3615
3616
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3617
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3618
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3619
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3620
3621
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3622
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3623
3624
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3625
3626
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3627
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3628
3629
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3630
3631
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3632
3633
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3634
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3635
3636
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3637
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3638
3639
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3640
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3641
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3642
3643
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3644
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3645
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3646
3647
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3648
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3649
3650
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3651
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3652
3653
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3654
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3655
3656
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3657
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3658
3659
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3660
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3661
3662
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3663
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3664
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3665
3666
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3667
3668
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3669
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3670
3671
INTERNALS:
3672
3673
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3674
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3675
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3676
3677
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3678
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3679
3680
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3681
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3682
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3683
3684
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3685
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3686
3687
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3688
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3689
(Martin Pool)
3690
3691
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3692
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3693
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3694
3695
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3696
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3697
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3698
3699
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3700
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3701
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3702
3703
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3704
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3705
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3706
3707
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3708
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3709
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3710
3711
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3712
instead. (Robert Collins)
3713
3714
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3752
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3753
3754
NEW FEATURES:

3771
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3772
-------------------
3773
3774
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3775
3776
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3777
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3778
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3779
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3780
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3781
will keep the same format.
3782
3783
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3784
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3785
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3786
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3787
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3788
3789
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3790
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3791
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3792
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3793
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3794
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3795
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3796
3797
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3798
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3799
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3800
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3801
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3802
3803
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3804
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3805
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3806
arrangement.
3807
3808
3809
IMPROVEMENTS:
3810
3811
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3812
convention. Paths now take the form::
3813
3814
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3815
or
3816
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3817
3818
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3819
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3820
3821
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3822
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3823
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3824
3825
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3826
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3827
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3828
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3829
3830
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3831
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3832
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3833
3834
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3835
3836
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3837
3838
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3839
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3840
commits::
3841
3842
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3843
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3844
| xargs bzr re-sign
3845
3846
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3847
3848
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3849
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3850
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3851
(Robert Collins)
3852
3853
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3854
3855
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3856
3857
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3858
'.moved'.
3859
3860
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3861
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3862
3863
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3864
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3865
Daniel Silverstone)
3866
3867
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3868
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3869
Martin Pool)
3870
3871
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3872
3873
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3874
3875
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3876
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3879
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3880
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3881
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3882
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3883
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3884
3885
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3886
3887
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3888
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3889
(Robert Collins)
3890
3891
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3892
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3893
3894
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3895
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3896
3897
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3898
3899
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3900
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3901
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3902
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3903
specification by Martin Pool.
3904
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3905
3906
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3907
Belchenko)
3908
3909
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3910
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3911
3912
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3913
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3914
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3915
3916
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3917
3918
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3919
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3920
(Robert Collins)
3921
3922
CHANGES:
3923
3924
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3925
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3926
3927
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3928
3929
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3930
3931
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3932
(Olaf Conradi)
3933
3934
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3935
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3936
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3937
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3938
3939
INTERNALS:
3940
3941
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3942
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3943
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3944
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3945
3946
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3947
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3948
tried. (Martin Pool)
3949
3950
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3951
(Martin Pool)
3952
3953
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3954
3955
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3956
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3957
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3958
3959
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3960
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3961
3962
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3963
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3964
paths. (Robert Collins)
3965
3966
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3967
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3968
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3969
3970
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3971
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3972
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3973
3974
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3975
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3976
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3977
3978
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3979
(Olaf Conradi)
3980
3981
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3982
(Olaf Conradi)
3983
3984
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3985
3986
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3987
3988
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3989
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3990
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3991
(Robert Collins)
3992
3993
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3994
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3995
3996
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3997
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3998
check. (Robert Collins)
3999
4000
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4001
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4002
4003
TESTING:
4004
4005
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4006
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4007
4008
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4009
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4010
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4011
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4012
4013
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4014
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4015
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4016
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4017
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4018
4019
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4020
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4021
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4022
4023
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4024
4025
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4026
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4027

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

* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4110
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4111
requests.
4112
4113
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4114
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4115
4116
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4117
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4118
4119
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4120
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4121
4122
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4123
(Denys Duchier)
4124
4125
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4126
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4127
4128
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4129
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4130
4131
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4132
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4133
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4134
4135
BUG FIXES:
4136
4137
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4138
4139
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4140
4141
* Error when run with -OO
4142
4143
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4144
(Martin Pool)
4145
4146
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4147
4148
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4149
4150
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4151
ignored by diff and status
4152
4153
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4154
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4155
4156
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4157
4158
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4159
4160
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4161
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4162
4163
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4164
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4165
4166
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4167
(Harald Meland)
4168
4169
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4170
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4171
4172
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4173
4174
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4175
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4176
4177
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4178
(Martin Pool)
4179
4180
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4181
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4182
4183
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4184
4185
TESTING:
4186
4187
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4188
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4189
4190
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4191
4192
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4193
4194
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4195
4196
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4197
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4198
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4199
4200
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4201
4202
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4203
(John Arbash Meinel)
4204
4205
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4206
4207
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4208
If adding a new test script please add that to
4209
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4210
4211
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4212
imported. (Martin Pool)
4213
4214
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4215
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4216
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4217
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4218
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4219
(Robert Collins)
4220
4221
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4222
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4223
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4224
4225
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4226
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4227
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4228
4229
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4230
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4231
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4232
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4233
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4234
(Robert Collins).
4235
4236
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4237
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4238
(Robert Collins).
4239
4240
INTERNALS:
4241
4242
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4243
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4244
4245
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4246
function. (Robert Collins)
4247
4248
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4249
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4250
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4251
4252
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4253
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4254
(Robert Collins)
4255
4256
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4257
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4258
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4259
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4260
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4261
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4262
version. (Robert Collins)
4263
4264
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4265
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4266
4267
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4268
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4269
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4270
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4271
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4272
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4273
4274
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4275
(Robert Collins)
4276
4277
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4278
4279
add()
4280
commit()
4281
move()
4282
rename_one()
4283
unknowns()
4284
4285
(Robert Collins)
4286
4287
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4288
4289
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4290
4291
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4292
Pool)
4293
4294
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4295
query method. (Robert Collins)
4296
4297
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4298
(Denys Duchier)
4299
4300
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4301
(Michael Ellerman)
4302
4303
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4304
(Michael Ellerman)
4305
4306
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4307
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4308
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4309
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4310
4311
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4312
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4313
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4314
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4315
4316
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4317
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4318

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4320
------------------
4321
4322
IMPROVEMENTS:
4323
4324
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4325
(John A Meinel)
4326
4327
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4328
conflicts.
4329
(Aaron Bentley)
4330
4331
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4332
a separator, not ':'.
4333
(Aaron Bentley)
4334
4335
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4336
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4337
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4338
4339
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4340
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4341
(Robert Collins)
4342
4343
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4344
has been added that suppresses all output.
4345
4346
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4347
Adams.
4348
4349
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4350
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4351
4352
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4353
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4354
4355
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4356
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4357
4358
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4359
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4360
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4361
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4362
4363
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4364
4365
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4366
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4367
4368
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4369
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4370
4371
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4372
output directory, if one was supplied.
4373
4374
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4375
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4376
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4377
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4378
4379
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4380
4381
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4382
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4383
4384
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4385
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4386
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4387
4388
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4389
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4390
4391
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4392
(Aaron Bentley)
4393
4394
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4395
4396
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4397
4398
TESTING:
4399
4400
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4401
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4402
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4403
4404
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4405
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4406
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4407
4408
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4409
is given. (Martin Pool)
4410
4411
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4412
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4413
file. (Robert Collins)
4414
4415
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4416
(Martin Pool)
4417
4418
INTERNALS:
4419
4420
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4421
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4422
representation. (Martin Pool).
4423
4424
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4425
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4426
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4427
4428
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4429
(Robert Collins)
4430
4431
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4432
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4433
Magnus Therning.
4434
4435
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4436
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4437
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4438
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4439
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4440
4441
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4442
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4443
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4444
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4445
python path. (Robert Collins)
4446
4447
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4448
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4449
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4450
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4451
4452
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4453
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4454
4455
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4456
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4457
(Robert Collins)
4458
4459
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4460
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4461
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4462
4463
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4464
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4465
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4466
4467
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4468
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4469
4470
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4471
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4472
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4473
(Robert Collins)
4474
4475
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4476
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4477
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4478
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4479
(Robert Collins)
4480
4481
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4482
(Robert Collins)
4483
4484
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4485
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4486
(Robert Collins)
4487
4488
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4489
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4490
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4491
4492
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4493
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4494
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4495
4496
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4497
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4498
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4499
4500
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4501
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4502
4503
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4504
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4505
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4506
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4507
caller. (Robert Collins)
4508
4509
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4510
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4511
(Robert Collins).
4512
4513
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4514
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4515
(Aaron Bentley)
4516
4517
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4518
4519
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4520
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4521
4522
BUG FIXES:
4523
4524
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4525
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4526
4527
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4528
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4531
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4532
--------------------
4533
4534
BUG FIXES:
4535
4536
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4537
allow directories to be listed.
4538
4539
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4540
upgrading branch format.
4541
4542
PERFORMANCE:
4543
4544
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

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

* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4597
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4598
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4599
4600
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4601
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4602
'bzr upgrade'.
4603
4604
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4605
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4606
4607
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4608
Niemeyer.
4609
4610
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4611
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4612
4613
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4614
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4615
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4616
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4617
4618
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4619
4620
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4621
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4622
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4623
4624
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4625
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4626
4627
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4628
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4629
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4630
4631
4632
INTERNALS:
4633
4634
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4635
for your viewing pleasure.
4636
4637
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4638
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4639
4640
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4641
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4642
handling of such circumstances.
4643
4644
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4645
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4646
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4647
4648
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4649
4650
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4651
we call them revisions not patches.
4652
4653
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4654
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4655
4656
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4657
giving the revision *of that file*.
4658
4659
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4660
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4661
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4662
4663
TESTING:
4664
4665
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4666
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4667
4668
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4669
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4670

4672
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4673
--------------------
4674
4675
BUG FIXES:
4676
4677
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4678
4679
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4680
(Robert Collins).
4681
4682
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4683
4684
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4685
4686
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4687
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4688
4689
IMPROVEMENTS:
4690
4691
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4692
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4693
4694
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4695
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4696
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4697
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4698
Robey Pointer
4699
4700
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4701
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4702
4703
INTERNALS:
4704
4705
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4706
4707
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4708
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4709
4710
4711
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4712
--------------------
4713
4714
IMPROVEMENTS:
4715
4716
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4717
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4718
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4719
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4720
Michael Ellerman.
4721
4722
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4723
(Nir Soffer)
4724
4725
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4726
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4727
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4728
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4729
for the operating system is still tried.
4730
4731
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4732
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4733
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4734
4735
4736
INTERNALS:
4737
4738
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4739
4740
BUG FIXES:
4741
4742
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4743
4744
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4745
branch.
4746
4747
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4748
read.
4749
4750
4751
PORTABILITY:
4752
4753
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4754
4755
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4756
4757
4758
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4759
--------------------
4760
4761
NEW FEATURES:
4762
4763
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4764
help with intelligent shell completion.
4765
4766
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4767
4768
4769
ENHANCEMENTS:
4770
4771
* Much better merge support.
4772
4773
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4774
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4775
like emacs smerge.
4776
4777
4778
BUG FIXES:
4779
4780
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4781
mention revisions that are not present.
4782
4783
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4784
4785
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4786
4787
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4788
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4789
4790
4791
CHANGES:
4792
4793
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4794
4795
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4796
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4797
--help themselves.
4798
4799
4800
LIBRARY:
4801
4802
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4803
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4804
libraries.
4805
4806
4807
4808
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4809
--------------------
4810
4811
NEW FEATURES:
4812
4813
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4814
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4815
4816
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4817
4818
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4819
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4820
4821
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4822
FOO.
4823
4824
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4825
4826
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4827
the Unix command.
4828
4829
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4830
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4831
4832
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4833
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4834
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4835
4836
4837
ENHANCEMENTS:
4838
4839
* Faster working tree operations.
4840
4841
4842
CHANGES:
4843
4844
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4845
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4846
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4847
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4848
4849
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4850
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4851
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4852
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4853
standard plugins directory.
4854
4855
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4856
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4857
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4858
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4859
4860
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4861
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4862
4863
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4864
disk.
4865
4866
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4867
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4868
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4869
4870
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4871
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4872
4873
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4874
line options must come before the command name because they
4875
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4876
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4877
it.
4878
4879
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4880
4881
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4882
is available with ``--short``.
4883
4884
4885
BUG FIXES:
4886
4887
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4888
4889
4890
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4891
---------------------
4892
4893
CHANGES:
4894
4895
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4896
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4897
4898
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4899
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4900
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4901
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4902
4903
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4904
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4905
with the ``--forward`` option.
4906
4907
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4908
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4909
field.
4910
4911
4912
ENHANCEMENTS:
4913
4914
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4915
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4916
4917
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4918
4919
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4920
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4921
4922
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4923
4924
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4925
either read or write mode.
4926
4927
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4928
4929
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4930
affected that file.
4931
4932
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4933
4934
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4935
suggested by LarstiQ.
4936
4937
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4938
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4939
4940
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4941
a filename.
4942
4943
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4944
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4945
4946
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4947
haven't changed since the previous time.
4948
4949
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4950
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4951
4952
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4953
4954
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4955
4956
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4957
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4958
4959
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4960
options through to an external GNU diff.
4961
4962
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4963
their contents.
4964
4965
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4966
from a branch.
4967
4968
4969
BUG FIXES:
4970
4971
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4972
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4973
4974
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4975
metacharacters.
4976
4977
4978
TESTING:
4979
4980
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4981
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4982
the tests.
4983
4984
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4985
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4986
4987
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4988
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4989
4990
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4991
under a different version.
4992
4993
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4994
4995
4996
INTERNAL:
4997
4998
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4999
5000
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5001
Scott James Remnant.
5002
5003
* Better help messages for many commands.
5004
5005
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5006
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5007
5008
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5009
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5010
5011
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5012
5013
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5014
5015
* New AtomicFile class.
5016
5017
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5018
5019
5020
PORTABILITY:
5021
5022
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5023
2.4 is now only recommended.

5025
5026
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5027
---------------------
5028
5029
ENHANCEMENTS:
5030
5031
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5032
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5033
5034
* More default ignore patterns.
5035
5036
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5037
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5038
5039
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5040
5041
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5042
by Jason Diamon.
5043
5044
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5045
5046
5047
CHANGES:
5048
5049
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5050
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5051
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5052
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5053
there are DNS problems.
5054
5055
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5056
5057
5058
BUG FIXES:
5059
5060
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5061
5062
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5063
5064
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5065
trailing newlines properly.
5066
5067
5068
INTERNAL:
5069
5070
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5071
Matt Brubeck.
5072
5073
* More tests in test.sh.
5074
5075
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5076
directory and delete it when done.
5077
5078
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5079
5080
5081
PORTABILITY:
5082
5083
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5084
Bennetts.
5085
5086
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5087
from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5091
---------------------
5092
5093
ENHANCEMENTS:
5094
5095
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5096
in the tree.
5097
5098
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5099
5100
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5101
and/or directory.
5102
5103
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5104
directory.
5105
5106
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5107
5108
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5109
5110
CHANGES:
5111
5112
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5113
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5114
will do for now.)
5115
5116
PORTABILITY:
5117
5118
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5119
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5120
Nielsen.
5121
5122
INTERNAL:
5123
5124
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5125
5126
TESTING:
5127
5128
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

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