IN DEVELOPMENT
8
--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
13
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
14
15
* 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
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
39
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
40
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
41
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
42
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
43
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
44
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
45
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
46
47
IMPROVEMENTS:
48
49
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
50
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
51
52
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
53
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
54
55
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
56
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
57
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
58
59
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
60
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
61
(John Arbash Meinel)
62
63
BUGFIXES:
64
65
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
66
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
67
68
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
69
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
70
71
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
72
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
73
74
* pull --quiet is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
75
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
76
#185907)
77
78
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
79
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
80
81
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
82
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
83
84
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
85
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
86
87
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
88
more characters which should be considered valid.
89
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
90
91
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
92
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
93
94
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
95
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
96
97
API BREAKS:
98
99
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
100
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
101
102
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
103
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
104
(Martin Pool)
105
106
TESTING:
107
108
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
109
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
110
(Vincent Ladeuil)
111
112
INTERNALS:
113
114
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
115
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
116
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
117
118
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
119
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
120
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
121
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
122
123
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
124
125
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
126
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
127
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
128
server. (Robert Collins)
129
130
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
131
operate. (Robert Collins)
132
133
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
134
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
135
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
136
137
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
138
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
139
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
140
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
141
142
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
143
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
144
145
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
146
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
147
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
148
149
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
150
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
151
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
152
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
153
154
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
155
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
156
157
158
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
159
------------------
160
161
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
162
163
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
164
---------------------
165
166
CHANGES:
167
168
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
169
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
170
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
171
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
172
173
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
174
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
175
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
176
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
177
178
FEATURES:
179
180
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
181
(Lukáš Lalinský)
182
183
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
184
(Aaron Bentley)
185
186
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
187
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
188
189
IMPROVEMENTS:
190
191
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
192
#90049)
193
194
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
195
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
196
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
197
198
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
199
200
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
201
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
202
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
203
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
204
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
205
206
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
207
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
208
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
209
210
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
211
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
212
213
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
214
(Vincent Ladeuil)
215
216
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
217
218
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
219
220
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
221
(Aaron Bentley)
222
223
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
224
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
225
226
BUGFIXES:
227
228
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
229
(Martin Pool, #180208)
230
231
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
233
234
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
235
(Aaron Bentley)
236
237
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
238
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
239
240
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
241
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
242
243
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
244
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
245
246
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
247
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
248
249
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
250
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
251
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
252
253
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
255
256
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
257
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
258
(Aaron Bentley)
259
260
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
261
262
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
263
user:pass embedded in the urls.
264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
265
266
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
267
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
268
269
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
270
(Aaron Bentley)
271
272
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
273
#148087)
274
275
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
276
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
277
278
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
279
#137681)
280
281
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
282
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
283
(Aaron Bentley)
284
285
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
286
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
288
289
DOCUMENTATION:
290
291
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
292
(Ian Clatworthy)
293
294
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
295
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
296
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
297
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
298
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
299
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
300
301
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
302
303
INTERNALS:
304
305
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
306
(Aaron Bentley)
307
308
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
309
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
310
311
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
312
313
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
314
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
315
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
316
Robert Collins)
317
318
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
319
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
320
321
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
322
(Vincent Ladeuil)
323
324
API BREAKS:
325
326
TESTING:
327
328
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
329
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
330
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
331
332
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
333
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
334
(Robert Collins)
335
336
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
337
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
338
339
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
340
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
341
342
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
343
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
344
345
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
346
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
347
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
348
349
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
350
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
351
352
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
353
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
354
355
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
356
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
357
(Vincent Ladeuil)
358
359
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
360
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
361
362
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
363
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
364
365
366
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
367
------------------
368
369
DOCUMENTATION:
370
371
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
372
373
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
374
(Ian Clatworthy)
375
376
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
377
378
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
379
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
380
(Ian Clatworthy)
381
382
383
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
384
---------------------
385
386
CHANGES:
387
388
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
389
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
390
by mail to the mailing list.
391
(Martin Pool)
392
393
BUGFIXES:
394
395
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
396
397
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
398
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
399
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
400
feedback but also incur more latency.
401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
402
403
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
404
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
405
406
DOCUMENTATION:
407
408
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
409
410
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
411
(Ian Clatworthy)
412
413
INTERNALS:
414
415
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
416
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
417
wraps its output in a StringIO.
418
(Vincent Ladeuil)
419
420
421
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
422
---------------------
423
424
IMPROVEMENTS:
425
426
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
427
428
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
429
(Aaron Bentley)
430
431
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
432
Nordhoff, #172612)
433
434
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
435
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
436
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
437
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
438
439
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
440
(Kent Gibson)
441
442
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
443
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
444
445
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
446
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
447
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
448
449
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
450
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
451
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
452
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
453
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
454
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
455
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
456
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
457
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
458
459
INTERNALS:
460
461
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
462
(Vincent Ladeuil)
463
464
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
465
466
BUGFIXES:
467
468
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
469
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
470
471
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
472
filename to user.
473
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
474
475
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
476
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
477
required.
478
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
479
480
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
481
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
482
483
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
484
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
485
486
API BREAKS:

493
---------------------
494
495
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
496
497
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
498
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
499
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
500
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
501
502
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
503
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
504
505
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
506
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
507
508
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
509
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
510
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
511
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
512
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
513
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
514
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
515
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
516
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
517
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
518
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
519
from any tree without problems.
520
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
521
522
CHANGES:
523
524
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
525
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
526
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
527
528
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
529
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
530
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
531
(Martin Pool)
532
533
FEATURES:
534
535
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
536
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
537
supported transports.
538
(Vincent Ladeuil)
539
540
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
541
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
542
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
543
544
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
545
(Robert Collins, #154173)
546
547
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
548
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
549
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
550
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
551
552
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
553
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
554
555
PERFORMANCE:
556
557
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
558
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
559
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
560
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
561
562
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
563
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
564
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
565
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
566
567
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
568
(Robert Collins, #88319)
569
570
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
571
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
572
573
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
574
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
575
576
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
577
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
578
(Aaron Bentley)
579
580
IMPROVEMENTS:
581
582
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
583
(Aaron Bentley)
584
585
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
586
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
587
(Lukáš Lalinský)
588
589
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
590
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
591
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
592
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
593
594
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
595
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
596
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
597
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

606
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
607
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
608
609
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
610

* Catch connection errors for ftp.
613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
616
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)

618
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

(Aaron Bentley)
626
627
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
628
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
629
630
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
631
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
633
634
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
635
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)

638
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
639
640
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
641
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
642
643
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
644
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
645
646
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
647
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
648
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
649
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
650
on them.
651
(Martin Pool, #164637)
652
653
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
654
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
656
657
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
658
(Robert Collins, #161240)
659
660
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
661
to be reconciled.
662
(Martin Pool, #164443)
663
664
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
665
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
666
667
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
668
specify a port in urls.
669
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
670
671
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
672
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
673
674
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
675
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
676
677
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
678
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
679
680
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
681
(Robert Collins, #153789)
682
683
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
684
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
685
(Robert Collins, #165304).
686
687
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
688
689
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
690
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)

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

774
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
775
776
CHANGES:
777
778
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
779
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
780
781
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
782
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
783
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
784
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
785
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
786
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
787
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
788
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
789
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
790
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
791
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
792
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
793
(Robert Collins)
794
795
FEATURES:
796
797
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
798
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
799
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
800
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
801
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
802
for further details. (Robert Collins)
803
804
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
805
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
806
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
807
(Robert Collins)
808
809
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
810
811
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
812
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
813
814
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
815
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
816
(Aaron Bentley)
817
818
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
819
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
820
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
821
822
PERFORMANCE:
823
824
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
825
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
826
827
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
828
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
829
830
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
831
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
832
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
833
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
834
835
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
836
(Robert Collins)
837
838
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
839
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
840
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
841
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
842
843
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
844
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
845
846
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
847
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
848
849
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
850
the contents. (Robert Collins)
851
852
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
853
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
854
855
IMPROVEMENTS:
856
857
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
858
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
859
860
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
861
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
862
863
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
864
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
865
866
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
867
(Martin Pool, #63894)
868
869
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
870
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
871
872
DOCUMENTATION:
873
874
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
875
876
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
877
(Ian Clatworthy)
878
879
BUG FIXES:
880
881
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
882
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
883
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
884
885
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
886
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
887
888
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
889
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
890
891
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
892
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
893
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
894
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
895
896
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
897
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
898
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
899
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
900
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
901
902
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
903
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
904
paramiko.
905
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
906
907
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
908
909
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
910
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
911
912
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
913
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
914
915
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
916
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
917
918
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
919
contains a symbolic link.
920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
921
922
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
923
(James Westby, #140615)
924
925
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
926
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
928
929
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
930
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
931
(Martin Pool, #144633)
932
933
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
934
935
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
937
938
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
939
will remain opened.
940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
941
942
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
943
directory to detect leaking tests.
944
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
945
946
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
947
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
948
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
949
950
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
951
(Rob Weir, #141629)
952
953
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
954
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
955
956
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
957
Merwe)
958
959
API BREAKS:
960
961
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
962
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
963
964
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
965
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
966
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
967
968
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
969
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
970
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
971
972
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
973
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
974
975
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
976
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
977
978
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
979
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
980
(Martin Pool)
981
982
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
983
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
984
985
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
986
class that needs it.
987
(Martin Pool)
988
989
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
990
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
991
992
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
993
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
994
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
995
996
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
997
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
998
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
999
(Robert Collins)
1000
1001
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1002
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1003
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1004
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1005
(Robert Collins)
1006
1007
INTERNALS:
1008
1009
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1010
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1011
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1012
1013
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1014
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1015
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1016
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1017
1018
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1019
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1020
(Robert Collins)
1021
1022
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1023
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1024
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1025
1026
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1027
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1028
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1029
1030
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1031
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1032
1033
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1034
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1035
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1036
1037
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1038
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1039
1040
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1041
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1042
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1043
1044
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1045
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1046
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1047
1048
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1049
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1050
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1051
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1052
1053
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1054
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1055
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1056
returned. (Robert Collins)
1057
1058
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1059
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1060
1061
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1062
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1063
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1064
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1065
(Robert Collins)
1066
1067
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1068
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1069
1070
TESTING:
1071
1072
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1073
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1074
1075
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1076
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1077
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1078
makes this behavior available to other users.
1079
(Martin Pool)
1080
1081
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1082
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1086
-------------------
1087
1088
BUG FIXES:
1089
1090
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1091
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1092
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1093
1094
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1095
1096
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1097
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1098
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1099
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1100
1101
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1102
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1103
(Andrew Bennetts)

1105
1106
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1107
----------------------
1108

1110
in bzrlib/remote.py.

bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1114
----------------------
1115
1116
CHANGES:
1117
1118
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1119
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1120
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1121
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1122
(Martin Pool)
1123
1124
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1125
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1126
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1127
(Ian Clatworthy)
1128
1129
FEATURES:
1130
1131
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1132
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1133
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1134
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1135
1136
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1137
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1138
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1139
1140
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1141
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1142
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1143
1144
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1145
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1146
1147
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1148
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1149
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1150
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1151
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1152
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1153
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1154
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1155
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1156
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1157
1158
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1159
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1160
1161
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1162
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1163
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1164
1165
BUG FIXES:
1166
1167
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1168
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1169
1170
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1171
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1172
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1173
1174
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1175
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1176
1177
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1178
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1179
1180
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1181
(Aaron Bentley)
1182
1183
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1184
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1185
1186
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1187
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1188
1189
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1190
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1191
1192
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1193
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1194
1195
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1196
1197
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1198
Watkins, #106726)
1199
1200
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1201
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1202
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1203
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1204
1205
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1206
1207
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1208
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1209
#133548)
1210
1211
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1212
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1213
1214
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1215
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1216
#116143)
1217
1218
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1219
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1220
1221
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1222
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1223
1224
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1225
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1226
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1227
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1228
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1229
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1230
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1231
1232
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1233
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1234
1235
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1236
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1237
1238
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1239
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1240
1241
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1243
1244
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1245
connections.
1246
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1247
1248
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1249
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1250
1251
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1252
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1253
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1254
1255
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1256
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1257
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1258
1259
IMPROVEMENTS:
1260
1261
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1262
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1263
1264
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1265
(Aaron Bentley)
1266
1267
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1268
(Aaron Bentley)
1269
1270
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1271
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1272
1273
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1274
1275
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1276
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1277
1278
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1279
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1280
1281
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1282
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1283
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1284
space). (Robert Collins)
1285
1286
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1287
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1288
(Ian Clatworthy)
1289
1290
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1291
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1292
1293
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1294
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1295
1296
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1297
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1298
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1299
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1300
1301
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1302
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1303
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1304
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1305
1306
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1307
(Ian Clatworthy)
1308
1309
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1310
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1311
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1312
1313
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1314
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1315
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1316
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1317
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1318
1319
API BREAKS:
1320
1321
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1322
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1323
1324
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1325
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1326
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1327
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1328
affected. (Robert Collins)
1329
1330
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1331
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1332
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1333
(Robert Collins)
1334
1335
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1336
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1337
1338
TESTING:
1339
1340
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1341
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1342
1343
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1344
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1345
1346
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1347
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1348
1349
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1350
(Aaron Bentley)
1351
1352
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1353
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1354
1355
INTERNALS:
1356
1357
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1358
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1359
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1360
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1361
1362
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1363
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1364
1365
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1366
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1367
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1368
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1369
1370
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1371
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1372
present. (Robert Collins)
1373
1374
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1375
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1376
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1377
API. (Robert Collins)
1378
1379
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1380
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1381
(Robert Collins)
1382
1383
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1384
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1385
1386
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1387
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1388
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1389
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1390
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1391
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1392
1393
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1394
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1395
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1396
1397
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1398
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1399
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1400
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1401
protocol.
1402
1403
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1404
(Aaron Bentley)
1405
1406
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1407
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1408
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1409
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1410
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1411
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1412
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1413
1414
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1415
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1416
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1417
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1418
1419
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1420
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1421
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1422
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1423
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1424
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1425
1426
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1427
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1428
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1429
1430
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1431
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1436
1437
IMPROVEMENTS:
1438
1439
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1440
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1441
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1442
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1443
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1444
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1445
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1448
1449
API CHANGES:
1450
1451
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1452
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1453
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1454
1455
1456
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1457
----------------------
1458
1459
BUGFIXES:
1460
1461
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1462
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1463
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1464
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1465
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1466
1467
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1468
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1469
1470
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1471
anymore.
1472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1473
1474
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1475
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1476
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1477
1478
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1479
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1480
#111664)
1481
1482
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1483
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1484
1485
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1486
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1487
1488
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1489
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1490
1491
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1492
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1493
1494
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1495
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1496
1497
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1498
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1499
1500
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1501
(Aaron Bentley)
1502
1503
IMPROVEMENTS:
1504
1505
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1506
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1507
1508
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1509
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1510
1511
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1512
the repository (Robert Collins)
1513
1514
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1515
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1516
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1517
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1518
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1519
1520
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1521
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1522
1523
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1524
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1525
(John Arbash Meinel)
1526
1527
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1528
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1529
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1530
about 10%).
1531
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1532
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1533
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1534
(John Arbash Meinel)
1535
1536
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1537
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1538
(Robert Collins)
1539
1540
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1541
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1542
1543
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1544
(Ian Clatworthy)
1545
1546
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1547
1548
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1549
1550
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1551
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1552
1553
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1554
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1555
Meinel)
1556
1557
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1558
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1559
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1560
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1561
1562
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1563
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1564
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1565
1566
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1567
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1568
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1569
1570
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1571
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1572
1573
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1574
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1575
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1576
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1577
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1578
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1579
(Ian Clatworthy)
1580
1581
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1582
(Alexander Belchenko)
1583
1584
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1585
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1586
1587
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1588
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1589
1590
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1591
1592
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1593
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1594
1595
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1596
1597
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1598
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1599
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1600
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1601
1602
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1603
1604
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1605
(Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1608
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1609
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1610
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1611
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1612
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1613
1614
INTERNALS:
1615
1616
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1617
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1618
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1619
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1620
1621
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1622
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1623
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1624
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1625
tests have been refactored too.
1626
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1627
1628
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1629
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1630
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1631
list, it will.
1632
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1633
1634
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1635
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1636
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1637
1638
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1639
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1640
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1641
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1642
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1643
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1644
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1645
1646
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1647
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1648
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1649
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1650
(John Arbash Meinel)
1651
1652
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1653
functionality for testing.
1654
1655
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1656
1657
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1658
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1659
1660
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1661
1662
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1663
(Robert Collins)
1664
1665
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1666
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1667
1668
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1669
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1670
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1671
1672
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1673
(Aaron Bentley)
1674
1675
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1676
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1677
1678
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1679
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1680
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1681
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1682
1683
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1684
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1685
1686
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1687
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1688
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1689
1690
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1691
(Marius Kruger)
1692
1693
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1694
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1695
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1696
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1697
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1698
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1699
1700
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1701
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1702
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1703
many files. (Robert Collins)
1704
1705
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1706
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1707
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1708
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1709
1710
TESTING:
1711
1712
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1713
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1714
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1715
1716
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1717
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1718
1719
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1720
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1721
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1736
1737
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1738
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1739
1740
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1741
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1742
(James Westby, #122656)
1743
1744
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1745
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1746
1747
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1748
authentication header.
1749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1750
1751
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1752
1753
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1754
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1755
1756
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1757
1758
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1759
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1760
1761
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1762
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1763
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1764
1765
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1766
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1767
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1768
1769
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1770
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1771
1772
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1774
1775
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1776
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1777
1778
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1779
1780
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1781
1782
IMPROVEMENTS:
1783
1784
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1785
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1786
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1787
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1788
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1789
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1790
1791
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1792
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1793
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1794
1795
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1796
(Elliot Murphy)
1797
1798
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1799
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1800
1801
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1802
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1803
1804
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1805
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1806
1807
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1808
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1809
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1810
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1811
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1812
1813
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1814
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1815
1816
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1817
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1818
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1819
1820
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1821
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1822
1823
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1824
1825
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1826
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1827
1828
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1829
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1830
(Robert Collins)
1831
1832
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1833
(Martin Pool)
1834
1835
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1836
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1837
1838
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1839
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1840
1841
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1842
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1843
1844
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1845
1846
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1847
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1848
1849
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1870
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1871
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1872
(Robert Collins)
1873
1874
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1875
1876
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1877
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1878
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1879
1880
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1881
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1882
1883
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1884
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1885
1886
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1887
1888
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1889
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1890
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1891
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1892
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1893
same location. (Robert Collins)
1894
1895
INTERNALS:
1896
1897
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1898
1899
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1900
1901
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1902
1903
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1904
(Martin Pool)
1905
1906
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1907
(Martin Pool)
1908
1909
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1910
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1911
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1912
1913
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1914
1915
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1916
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1917
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1918
1919
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1920
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1921
1922
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1923
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1924
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1925
1926
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1927
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1928
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1929
1930
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1931
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1932
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1933
1934
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1935
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1936
Martin Pool)
1937
1938
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1939
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1940
1941
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1942
(Alexander Belchenko)
1943
1944
TESTING:
1945
1946
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1947
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1948
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1949
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1950
1951
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1952
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1953
testing. (Robert Collins)
1954
1955
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1956
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1957
1958
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1959
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1960
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1961
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1962
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1963
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1964
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1965
1966
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1967
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1968
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1969
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1970
1971
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1972
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1973
1974
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1975
avoid useless cloning.

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

2346
BUGFIXES:
2347
2348
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2349
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2350
2351
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2352
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2353
2354
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2355
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2356
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2357
2358
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2359
(Aaron Bentley)
2360
2361
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2362
the file, and does it faster.
2363
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2364
2365
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2366
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2367
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2368
2369
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2370
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2371
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2372
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2373
2374
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2375
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2376
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2377
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2378
2379
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2380
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2381
2382
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2383
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2384
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2385
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2386
Arbash Meinel)
2387
2388
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2389
2390
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2391
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2392
2393
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2394
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2395
2396
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2397
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2398
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2399
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2400
security hole.
2401
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2402
2403
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2405
2406
TESTING:
2407
2408
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2409
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2410
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2411
2412
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2413
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2414
2415
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2416
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2417
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2418
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2419
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2420
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2421
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2422
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2423
2424
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2425
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2426
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2427
2428
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2429
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2430
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2431
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2432
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2433
access.
2434
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2435
2436
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2437
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2438
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2439
2440
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2441
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

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

2529
-----------------------
2530
2531
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2532
2533
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2534
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2535
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2536
2537
IMPROVEMENTS:
2538
2539
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2540
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2541
2542
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2543
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2544
2545
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2546
2547
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2548
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2549
2550
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2551
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2552
2553
INTERNALS:
2554
2555
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2556
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2557
2558
BUGFIXES:
2559
2560
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2561
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2562
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2563
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2564
2565
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2566
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2567
2568
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2569
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2570
2571
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2572
(Marien Zwart)
2573
2574
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

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

* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2764
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2765
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2766
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2767
2768
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2769
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2770
#83954).
2771
2772
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2773
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2774
2775
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2776
2777
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2778
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2779
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2780
2781
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2782
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2783
2784
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2785
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2786
2787
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2789
2790
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2791
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2792
2793
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2794
2795
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2796
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2797
2798
TESTING:
2799
2800
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2801
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

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

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

2962
IMPROVEMENTS:
2963
2964
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2965
tree from a branch.
2966
(Daniel Silverstone)
2967
2968
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2969
operations are substantially faster.
2970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2971
2972
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2973
tree from some other url. For example:
2974
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2975
(Daniel Silverstone)
2976
2977
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2978
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2979
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2980
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2981
2982
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2983
(Andrew Bennetts)
2984
2985
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2986
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2987
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2988
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2989
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2990
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2991
2992
INTERNALS:
2993
2994
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2995
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2996
(Martin Pool)
2997
2998
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2999
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3000
(John Arbash Meinel)
3001
3002
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3003
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3004
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3005
(John Arbash Meinel)
3006
3007
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3008
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3009
3010
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3011
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3012
3013
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3014
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3015
Bennetts)
3016
3017
BUG FIXES:
3018
3019
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3020
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3021
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3022
3023
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3024
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3025
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3026
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3027
3028
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3029
3030
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3031
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3032
3033
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3034
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3035
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3036
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3037
3038
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3039
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3040
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3041
3042
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3043
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3044
them as full references rather than integers.
3045
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3046
3047
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3048
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3049
3050
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3051
3052
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3053
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3054
3055
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3056
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3057
3058
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3059
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3060
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3061
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3062
3063
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3064
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3065
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3066
3067
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3068
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3069
3070
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3071
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3072
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3073
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3074
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3075
3076
TESTING:
3077
3078
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3079
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3082
--------------------
3083
3084
INTERNALS:
3085
3086
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3087
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3088
(John Arbash Meinel)
3089
3090
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3091
-----------------------
3092
3093
IMPROVEMENTS:
3094
3095
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3096
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3097
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3098
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3099
3100
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3101
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3102
3103
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3104
3105
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3106
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3107
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3108
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3109
3110
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3111
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3112
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3113
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3114
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3115
3116
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3117
3118
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3119
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3120
3121
INTERNALS:
3122
3123
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3124
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3125
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3126
3127
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3128
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3129
(John Arbash Meinel)
3130
3131
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3132
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3133
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3134
3135
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3136
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3137
(Aaron Bentley)
3138
3139
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3140
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3141
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3142
3143
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3144
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3145
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3146
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3147
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3148
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3149
3150
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3151
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3152
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3153
(Robert Collins)
3154
3155
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3156
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3157
3158
BUG FIXES:
3159
3160
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3161
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3162
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3163
#63360, #66349)
3164
3165
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3166
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3167
3168
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3169
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3170
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3171
3172
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3173
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3174
3175
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3176
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3177
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3178
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3179
3180
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3181
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3182
3183
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3184
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3185
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3186
3187
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3188
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3189
3190
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3191
3192
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3193
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3194
#32054)
3195
3196
TESTING:
3197
3198
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3199
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3200
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3201
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3202
3203
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3204
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3205
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

3223
-----------------------
3224
3225
IMPROVEMENTS:
3226
3227
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3228
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3229
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3230
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3231
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3232
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3233
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3234
3235
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3236
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3237
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3238
3239
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3240
3241
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3242
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3243
3244
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3245
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3246
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3247
(Robert Collins)
3248
3249
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3250
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3251
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3252
(John Arbash Meinel)
3253
3254
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3255
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3256
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3257
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3258
Pool)
3259
3260
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3261
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3262
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3263
(John Arbash Meinel)
3264
3265
BUG FIXES:
3266
3267
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3268
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3269
3270
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3271
3272
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3273
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3274
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3275
3276
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3277
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3278
3279
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3280
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3281
3282
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3283
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3284
3285
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3286
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3287
3288
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3289
3290
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3291
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3292
3293
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3294
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3295
3296
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3297
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3298
3299
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3300
(John Arbash Meinel)
3301
3302
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3303
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3304
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3305
3306
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3307
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3308
3309
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3310
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3311
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3312
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3313
3314
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3315
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3316
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3317
3318
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3319
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3320
3321
PORTABILITY:
3322
3323
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3324
3325
INTERNALS:
3326
3327
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3328
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3329
(John Arbash Meinel)
3330
3331
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3332
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3333
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3334
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3335
3336
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3337
(Andrew Bennetts)
3338
3339
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3340
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3341
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3342
3343
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3344
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3345
3346
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3347
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3348
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3349
3350
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3351
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3352
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3353
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3354
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3355
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3356
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3357
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3358
caller to repeat their request.
3359
(John Arbash Meinel)
3360
3361
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3362
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3363
3364
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3365
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3366
3367
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3368
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3369
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3370
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3371
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3372
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3373
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3374
3375
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3376
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3377
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3378
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3379
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3380
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3381
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3382
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3383
(Robert Collins)
3384
3385
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3386
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3387
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3388
3389
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3390
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3391
3392
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3393
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3394
3395
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3396
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3397
3398
TESTING:
3399
3400
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3401
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3402
3403
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3404
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3405
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3406
3407
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3408
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3409
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3410
3411
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3412
--------------------
3413
3414
IMPROVEMENTS:
3415
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3416
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3417
3418
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3419
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3420
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3421
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3422
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3423
3424
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3425
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3426
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3427
3428
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3429
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3430
3431
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3432
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3433
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3434
3435
BUG FIXES:
3436
3437
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3438
3439
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3440
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3441
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3442
3443
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3444
3445
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3446
3447
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3448
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3449
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3450
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3451
3452
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3453
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3454
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3455
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3456
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3457
3458
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3459
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3460
3461
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3462
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3463
3464
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3465
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3466
3467
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3468
in handling of revision properties.
3469
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3470
3471
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3472
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3473
3474
INTERNALS:
3475
3476
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3477
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3478
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3479
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3480
(John Arbash Meinel)
3481
3482
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3483
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3484
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3485
3486
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3487
---------------------
3488
3489
SURPRISES:
3490
3491
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3492
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3493
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3494
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3495
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3496
a more conservative list than the old default.
3497
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3498
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3499
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3500
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3501
3502
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3503
to more locations than just branch locations.
3504
(Aaron Bentley)
3505
3506
IMPROVEMENTS:
3507
3508
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3509
revno:N:branch. For example,
3510
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3511
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3512
3513
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3514
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3515
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3516
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3517
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3518
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3519
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3520
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3521
#42517, #42514)
3522
3523
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3524
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3525
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3526
(Malone #3507)
3527
3528
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3529
(Alexander Belchenko)
3530
3531
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3532
3533
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3534
(Robert Collins).
3535
3536
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3537
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3538
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3539
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3540
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3541
(John Arbash Meinel)
3542
3543
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3544
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3545
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3546
grained analysis of performance.
3547
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3548
3549
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3550
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3551
3552
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3553
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3554
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3555
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3556
file. (Robert Collins).
3557
3558
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3559
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3560
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3561
3562
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3563
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3564
Matthieu Moy)
3565
3566
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3567
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3568
3569
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3570
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3571
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3572
the same way you would apply another branch.
3573
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3574
3575
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3576
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3577
3578
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3579
(Michael Ellerman)
3580
3581
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3582
(Aaron Bentley)
3583
3584
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3585
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3586
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3587
3588
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3589
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3590
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3591
3592
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3593
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3594
3595
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3596
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3597
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3598
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3599
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3600
3601
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3602
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3603
3604
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3605
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3606
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3607
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3608
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3609
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3610
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3611
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3612
3613
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3614
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3615
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3616
3617
BUG FIXES:
3618
3619
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3620
tests not to run.
3621
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3622
3623
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3624
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3625
3626
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3627
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3628
3629
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3630
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3631
3632
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3633
3634
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3635
(John Arbash Meinel)
3636
3637
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3638
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3639
3640
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3641
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3642
and y.
3643
3644
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3645
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3646
3647
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3648
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3649
3650
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3651
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3652
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3653
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3654
3655
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3656
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3657
3658
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3659
3660
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3661
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3662
3663
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3664
3665
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3666
3667
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3668
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3669
3670
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3671
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3672
3673
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3674
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3675
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3676
3677
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3678
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3679
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3680
3681
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3682
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3683
3684
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3685
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3686
3687
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3688
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3689
3690
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3691
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3692
3693
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3694
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3695
3696
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3697
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3698
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3699
3700
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3701
3702
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3703
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3704
3705
INTERNALS:
3706
3707
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3708
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3709
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3710
3711
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3712
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3713
3714
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3715
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3716
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3717
3718
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3719
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3720
3721
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3722
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3723
(Martin Pool)
3724
3725
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3726
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3727
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3728
3729
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3730
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3731
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3732
3733
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3734
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3735
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3736
3737
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3738
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3739
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3740
3741
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3742
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3743
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3744
3745
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3746
instead. (Robert Collins)
3747
3748
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3805
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3806
-------------------
3807
3808
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3809
3810
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3811
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3812
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3813
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3814
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3815
will keep the same format.
3816
3817
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3818
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3819
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3820
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3821
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3822
3823
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3824
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3825
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3826
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3827
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3828
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3829
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3830
3831
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3832
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3833
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3834
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3835
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3836
3837
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3838
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3839
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3840
arrangement.
3841
3842
3843
IMPROVEMENTS:
3844
3845
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3846
convention. Paths now take the form::
3847
3848
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3849
or
3850
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3851
3852
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3853
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3854
3855
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3856
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3857
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3858
3859
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3860
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3861
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3862
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3863
3864
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3865
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3866
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3867
3868
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3869
3870
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3871
3872
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3873
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3874
commits::
3875
3876
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3877
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3878
| xargs bzr re-sign
3879
3880
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3881
3882
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3883
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3884
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3885
(Robert Collins)
3886
3887
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3888
3889
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3890
3891
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3892
'.moved'.
3893
3894
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3895
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3896
3897
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3898
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3899
Daniel Silverstone)
3900
3901
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3902
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3903
Martin Pool)
3904
3905
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3906
3907
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3908
3909
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3910
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3911
3912
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3913
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3914
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3915
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3916
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3917
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3918
3919
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3920
3921
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3922
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3923
(Robert Collins)
3924
3925
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3926
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3927
3928
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3929
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3930
3931
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3932
3933
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3934
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3935
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3936
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3937
specification by Martin Pool.
3938
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3939
3940
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3941
Belchenko)
3942
3943
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3944
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3945
3946
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3947
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3948
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3949
3950
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3951
3952
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3953
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3954
(Robert Collins)
3955
3956
CHANGES:
3957
3958
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3959
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3960
3961
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3962
3963
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3964
3965
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3966
(Olaf Conradi)
3967
3968
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3969
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3970
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3971
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3972
3973
INTERNALS:
3974
3975
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3976
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3977
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3978
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3979
3980
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3981
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3982
tried. (Martin Pool)
3983
3984
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3985
(Martin Pool)
3986
3987
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3988
3989
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3990
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3991
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3992
3993
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3994
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3995
3996
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3997
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3998
paths. (Robert Collins)
3999
4000
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4001
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4002
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4003
4004
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4005
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4006
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4007
4008
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4009
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4010
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4011
4012
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4013
(Olaf Conradi)
4014
4015
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4016
(Olaf Conradi)
4017
4018
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4019
4020
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4021
4022
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4023
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4024
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4025
(Robert Collins)
4026
4027
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4028
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4029
4030
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4031
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4032
check. (Robert Collins)
4033
4034
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4035
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4036
4037
TESTING:
4038
4039
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4040
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4041
4042
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4043
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4044
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4045
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4046
4047
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4048
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4049
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4050
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4051
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4052
4053
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4054
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4055
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4056
4057
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4058
4059
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4060
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4065
CHANGES:
4066
4067
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4068
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4069
4070
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4071
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4072
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4073
(Johan Rydberg)
4074
4075
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4076
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4077
4078
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4079
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4080
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4081
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4082
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4083
4084
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4085
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4086
used. (Robert Collins)
4087
4088
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4089
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4090
(James Henstridge)
4091
4092
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4093
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4094
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4095
4096
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4097
ignore list.
4098
4099
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4100
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

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

4566
--------------------
4567
4568
BUG FIXES:
4569
4570
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4571
allow directories to be listed.
4572
4573
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4574
upgrading branch format.
4575
4576
PERFORMANCE:
4577
4578
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4582
------------------
4583
4584
NOTES:
4585
4586
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4587
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4588
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4589

4591
BUG FIXES:
4592
4593
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4594
Rob Weir.
4595
4596
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4597
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4598
4599
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4600
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4601
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4602
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4603
4604
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4605
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4606
4607
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4608
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4609
4610
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4611
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4612
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4613
4614
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4615
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4616
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4617
Robert Collins
4618
4619
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4620
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4621
4622
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4623
different partial views of history.
4624
4625
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4626
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4627
4628
IMPROVEMENTS:
4629
4630
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4631
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4632
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4633
4634
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4635
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4636
'bzr upgrade'.
4637
4638
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4639
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4640
4641
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4642
Niemeyer.
4643
4644
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4645
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4646
4647
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4648
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4649
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4650
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4651
4652
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4653
4654
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4655
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4656
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4657
4658
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4659
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4660
4661
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4662
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4663
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4664
4665
4666
INTERNALS:
4667
4668
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4669
for your viewing pleasure.
4670
4671
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4672
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4673
4674
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4675
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4676
handling of such circumstances.
4677
4678
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4679
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4680
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4681
4682
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4683
4684
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4685
we call them revisions not patches.
4686
4687
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4688
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4689
4690
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4691
giving the revision *of that file*.
4692
4693
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4694
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4695
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4696
4697
TESTING:
4698
4699
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4700
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4701
4702
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4703
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4704
4705
4706
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4707
--------------------
4708
4709
BUG FIXES:
4710
4711
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4712
4713
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4714
(Robert Collins).
4715
4716
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4717
4718
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4719
4720
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4721
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4722
4723
IMPROVEMENTS:
4724
4725
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4726
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4727
4728
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4729
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4730
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4731
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4732
Robey Pointer
4733
4734
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4735
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4736
4737
INTERNALS:
4738
4739
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4740
4741
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4742
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4743
4744
4745
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4746
--------------------
4747
4748
IMPROVEMENTS:
4749
4750
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4751
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4752
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4753
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4754
Michael Ellerman.
4755
4756
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4757
(Nir Soffer)
4758
4759
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4760
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4761
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4762
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4763
for the operating system is still tried.
4764
4765
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4766
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4767
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4768
4769
4770
INTERNALS:
4771
4772
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4773
4774
BUG FIXES:
4775
4776
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4777
4778
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4779
branch.
4780
4781
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4782
read.
4783
4784
4785
PORTABILITY:
4786
4787
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4788
4789
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4790
4791
4792
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4793
--------------------
4794
4795
NEW FEATURES:
4796
4797
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4798
help with intelligent shell completion.
4799
4800
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4801
4802
4803
ENHANCEMENTS:
4804
4805
* Much better merge support.
4806
4807
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4808
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4809
like emacs smerge.
4810
4811
4812
BUG FIXES:
4813
4814
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4815
mention revisions that are not present.
4816
4817
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4818
4819
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4820
4821
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4822
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4823
4824
4825
CHANGES:
4826
4827
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4828
4829
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4830
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4831
--help themselves.
4832
4833
4834
LIBRARY:
4835
4836
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4837
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4838
libraries.
4839
4840
4841
4842
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4843
--------------------
4844
4845
NEW FEATURES:
4846
4847
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4848
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4849
4850
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4851
4852
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4853
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4854
4855
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4856
FOO.
4857
4858
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4859
4860
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4861
the Unix command.
4862
4863
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4864
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4865
4866
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4867
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4868
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4869
4870
4871
ENHANCEMENTS:
4872
4873
* Faster working tree operations.
4874
4875
4876
CHANGES:
4877
4878
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4879
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4880
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4881
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4882
4883
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4884
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4885
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4886
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4887
standard plugins directory.
4888
4889
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4890
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4891
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4892
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4893
4894
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4895
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4896
4897
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4898
disk.
4899
4900
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4901
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4902
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4903
4904
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4905
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4906
4907
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4908
line options must come before the command name because they
4909
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4910
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4911
it.
4912
4913
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4914
4915
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4916
is available with ``--short``.
4917
4918
4919
BUG FIXES:
4920
4921
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4922
4923
4924
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4925
---------------------
4926
4927
CHANGES:
4928
4929
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4930
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4931
4932
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4933
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4934
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4935
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4936
4937
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4938
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4939
with the ``--forward`` option.
4940
4941
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4942
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4943
field.
4944
4945
4946
ENHANCEMENTS:
4947
4948
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4949
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4950
4951
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4952
4953
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4954
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4955
4956
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4957
4958
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4959
either read or write mode.
4960
4961
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4962
4963
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4964
affected that file.
4965
4966
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4967
4968
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4969
suggested by LarstiQ.
4970
4971
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4972
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4973
4974
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4975
a filename.
4976
4977
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4978
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4979
4980
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4981
haven't changed since the previous time.
4982
4983
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4984
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4985
4986
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4987
4988
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4989
4990
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4991
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4992
4993
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4994
options through to an external GNU diff.
4995
4996
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4997
their contents.
4998
4999
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5000
from a branch.
5001
5002
5003
BUG FIXES:
5004
5005
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5006
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5007
5008
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5009
metacharacters.
5010
5011
5012
TESTING:
5013
5014
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5015
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5016
the tests.
5017
5018
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5019
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5020
5021
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5022
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5023
5024
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5025
under a different version.
5026
5027
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5028
5029
5030
INTERNAL:
5031
5032
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5033
5034
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5035
Scott James Remnant.
5036
5037
* Better help messages for many commands.
5038
5039
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5040
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5041
5042
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5043
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5044
5045
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5046
5047
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5048
5049
* New AtomicFile class.
5050
5051
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5052
5053
5054
PORTABILITY:
5055
5056
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5057
2.4 is now only recommended.

5059
5060
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5061
---------------------
5062
5063
ENHANCEMENTS:
5064
5065
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5066
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5067
5068
* More default ignore patterns.
5069
5070
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5071
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5072
5073
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5074
5075
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5076
by Jason Diamon.
5077
5078
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5079
5080
5081
CHANGES:
5082
5083
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5084
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5085
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5086
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5087
there are DNS problems.
5088
5089
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5090
5091
5092
BUG FIXES:
5093
5094
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5095
5096
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5097
5098
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5099
trailing newlines properly.
5100
5101
5102
INTERNAL:
5103
5104
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5105
Matt Brubeck.
5106
5107
* More tests in test.sh.
5108
5109
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5110
directory and delete it when done.
5111
5112
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5113
5114
5115
PORTABILITY:
5116
5117
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5118
Bennetts.
5119
5120
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5121
from QuantumG.

5123
5124
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5125
---------------------
5126
5127
ENHANCEMENTS:
5128
5129
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5130
in the tree.
5131
5132
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5133
5134
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5135
and/or directory.
