bzr 1.2rc1 (not released yet)
28
-----------------------------
29
30
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
31
32
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
33
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
34
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
35
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
36
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
37
(Andrew Bennetts)
38
39
CHANGES:
40
41
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
42
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
43
44
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
45
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
46
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
47
48
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
49
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
50
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
51
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
52
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
53
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
54
(Aaron Bentley)
55
56
FEATURES:
57
58
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
59
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
60
61
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
62
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
63
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
64
(Robert Collins)
65
66
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
67
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
68
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
69
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
70
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
71
72
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
73
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
74
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
75
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
76
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
77
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
78
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
79
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
80
81
IMPROVEMENTS:
82
83
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
84
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
85
86
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
87
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
88
89
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
90
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
91
92
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
93
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
94
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
95
96
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
97
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
98
(John Arbash Meinel)
99
100
BUGFIXES:
101
102
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
103
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
104
105
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
106
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
107
108
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
109
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
110
111
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
112
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
113
114
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
115
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
116
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
117
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
118
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
119
unittest runner.
120
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
121
122
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
123
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
124
#185907)
125
126
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
127
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
128
129
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
130
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
131
132
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
133
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
134
135
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
136
more characters which should be considered valid.
137
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
138
139
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
140
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
141
142
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
143
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
144
145
API BREAKS:
146
147
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
148
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
149
150
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
151
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
152
(Martin Pool)
153
154
TESTING:
155
156
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
157
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
158
(Vincent Ladeuil)
159
160
INTERNALS:
161
162
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
163
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
164
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
165
166
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
167
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
168
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
169
170
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
171
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
172
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
173
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
174
175
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
176
177
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
178
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
179
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
180
server. (Robert Collins)
181
182
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
183
operate. (Robert Collins)
184
185
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
186
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
187
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
188
189
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
190
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
191
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
192
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
193
194
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
195
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
196
197
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
198
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
199
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
200
201
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
202
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
203
204
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
205
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
206
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
207
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
208
209
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
210
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
211
212
213
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
214
------------------
215
216
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
217
218
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
219
---------------------
220
221
CHANGES:
222
223
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
224
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
225
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
226
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
227
228
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
229
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
230
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
231
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
232
233
FEATURES:
234
235
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
236
(Lukáš Lalinský)
237
238
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
239
(Aaron Bentley)
240
241
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
242
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
243
244
IMPROVEMENTS:
245
246
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
247
#90049)
248
249
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
250
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
251
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
252
253
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
254
255
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
256
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
257
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
258
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
259
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
260
261
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
262
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
263
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
264
265
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
266
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
267
268
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
269
(Vincent Ladeuil)
270
271
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
272
273
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
274
275
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
276
(Aaron Bentley)
277
278
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
279
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
280
281
BUGFIXES:
282
283
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
284
(Martin Pool, #180208)
285
286
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
288
289
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
290
(Aaron Bentley)
291
292
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
293
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
294
295
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
296
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
297
298
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
299
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
300
301
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
302
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
303
304
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
305
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
306
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
307
308
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
310
311
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
312
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
313
(Aaron Bentley)
314
315
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
316
317
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
318
user:pass embedded in the urls.
319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
320
321
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
322
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
323
324
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
325
(Aaron Bentley)
326
327
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
328
#148087)
329
330
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
331
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
332
333
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
334
#137681)
335
336
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
337
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
338
(Aaron Bentley)
339
340
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
341
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
343
344
DOCUMENTATION:
345
346
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
347
(Ian Clatworthy)
348
349
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
350
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
351
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
352
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
353
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
354
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
355
356
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
357
358
INTERNALS:
359
360
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
361
(Aaron Bentley)
362
363
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
364
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
365
366
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
367
368
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
369
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
370
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
371
Robert Collins)
372
373
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
374
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
375
376
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
377
(Vincent Ladeuil)
378
379
API BREAKS:
380
381
TESTING:
382
383
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
384
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
385
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
386
387
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
388
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
389
(Robert Collins)
390
391
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
392
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
393
394
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
395
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
396
397
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
398
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
399
400
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
401
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
402
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
403
404
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
405
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
406
407
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
408
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
409
410
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
411
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
412
(Vincent Ladeuil)
413
414
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
415
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
416
417
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
418
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
422
------------------
423
424
DOCUMENTATION:
425
426
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
427
428
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
429
(Ian Clatworthy)
430
431
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
432
433
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
434
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
439
---------------------
440
441
CHANGES:
442
443
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
444
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
445
by mail to the mailing list.
446
(Martin Pool)
447
448
BUGFIXES:
449
450
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
451
452
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
453
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
454
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
455
feedback but also incur more latency.
456
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
457
458
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
459
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
460
461
DOCUMENTATION:
462
463
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
464
465
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.

470
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
471
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
472
wraps its output in a StringIO.

---------------------
478
479
IMPROVEMENTS:
480
481
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
482
483
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
484
(Aaron Bentley)
485
486
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
487
Nordhoff, #172612)
488
489
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
490
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
491
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
492
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
493
494
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
495
(Kent Gibson)
496
497
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
498
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
499
500
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
501
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
502
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
503
504
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
505
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
506
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
507
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
508
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
509
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
510
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
511
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
512
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
513
514
INTERNALS:
515
516
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
517
(Vincent Ladeuil)
518
519
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
520
521
BUGFIXES:
522
523
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
524
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
525
526
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
527
filename to user.
528
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
529
530
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
531
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
532
required.
533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
534
535
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
536
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
537
538
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
539
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
540
541
API BREAKS:
542
543
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
544
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

547
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
548
---------------------
549
550
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
551
552
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
553
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
554
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
555
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
556
557
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
558
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
559
560
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
561
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
562
563
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
564
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
565
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
566
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
567
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
568
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
569
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
570
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
571
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
572
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
573
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
574
from any tree without problems.
575
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
576
577
CHANGES:
578
579
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
580
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
581
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
582
583
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
584
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
585
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
586
(Martin Pool)
587
588
FEATURES:
589
590
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
591
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
592
supported transports.
593
(Vincent Ladeuil)
594
595
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
596
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
597
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
598
599
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
600
(Robert Collins, #154173)
601
602
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
603
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
604
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
605
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
606
607
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
608
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
609
610
PERFORMANCE:
611
612
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
613
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
614
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
615
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
616
617
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
618
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
619
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
620
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
621
622
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
623
(Robert Collins, #88319)
624
625
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
626
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
627
628
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
629
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
630
631
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
632
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
633
(Aaron Bentley)
634
635
IMPROVEMENTS:
636
637
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
638
(Aaron Bentley)
639
640
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
641
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
642
(Lukáš Lalinský)
643
644
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
645
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
646
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
647
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
648
649
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
650
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
651
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
652
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

658
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
659
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
660
661
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
662
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
663
664
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
665
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
666
667
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
669
670
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
671
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
672
673
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
674
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
675
676
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
678
679
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
680
(Aaron Bentley)
681
682
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
684
685
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
686
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
688
689
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
690
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
691
692
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
693
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
694
695
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
696
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
697
698
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
700
701
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
702
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
703
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
704
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
705
on them.
706
(Martin Pool, #164637)
707
708
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
709
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
711
712
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
713
(Robert Collins, #161240)
714
715
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
716
to be reconciled.
717
(Martin Pool, #164443)
718
719
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
720
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
721
722
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
723
specify a port in urls.
724
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
725
726
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
727
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
728
729
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
730
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
731
732
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
733
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
734
735
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
736
(Robert Collins, #153789)
737
738
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
739
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
740
(Robert Collins, #165304).
741
742
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
743
744
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
745
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
746
747

(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
752
753
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
754
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
755
756
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
757
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
758
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
759
760
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
761
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
762
763
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
764
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
765
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
766
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
767
768
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
769
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
770
771
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
772
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
773
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
774
775
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
776
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
777
778
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
780
781
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
783
784
API BREAKS:
785
786
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
787
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
788
789
* The return value of
790
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
791
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
792
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
793
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
794
795
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
796
(Robert Collins)
797
798
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
799
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
800
format.
801
(Martin Pool)
802
803
INTERNALS:
804
805
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
806
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
807
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
808
Bennetts)
809
810
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
811
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
812
813
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
830
831
CHANGES:
832
833
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
834
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
835
836
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
837
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
838
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
839
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
840
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
841
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
842
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
843
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
844
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
845
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
846
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
847
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
848
(Robert Collins)
849
850
FEATURES:
851
852
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
853
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
854
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
855
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
856
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
857
for further details. (Robert Collins)
858
859
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
860
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
861
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
862
(Robert Collins)
863
864
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
865
866
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
867
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
868
869
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
870
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
871
(Aaron Bentley)
872
873
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
874
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
875
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
876
877
PERFORMANCE:
878
879
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
880
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
881
882
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
883
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
884
885
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
886
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
887
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
888
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
889
890
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
891
(Robert Collins)
892
893
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
894
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
895
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
896
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
897
898
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
899
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
900
901
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
902
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
903
904
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
905
the contents. (Robert Collins)
906
907
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
908
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
909
910
IMPROVEMENTS:
911
912
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
913
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
914
915
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
916
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
917
918
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
919
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
920
921
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
922
(Martin Pool, #63894)
923
924
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
925
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
926
927
DOCUMENTATION:
928
929
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
930
931
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
932
(Ian Clatworthy)
933
934
BUG FIXES:
935
936
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
937
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
938
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
939
940
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
941
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
942
943
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
944
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
945
946
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
947
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
948
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
949
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
950
951
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
952
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
953
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
954
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
955
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
956
957
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
958
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
959
paramiko.
960
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
961
962
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
963
964
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
965
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
966
967
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
969
970
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
972
973
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
974
contains a symbolic link.
975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
976
977
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
978
(James Westby, #140615)
979
980
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
981
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
982
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
983
984
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
985
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
986
(Martin Pool, #144633)
987
988
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
989
990
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
991
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
992
993
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
994
will remain opened.
995
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
996
997
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
998
directory to detect leaking tests.
999
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1000
1001
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1002
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1003
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1004
1005
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1006
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1007
1008
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1009
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1010
1011
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1012
Merwe)
1013
1014
API BREAKS:
1015
1016
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1017
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1018
1019
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1020
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1021
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1022
1023
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1024
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1025
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1026
1027
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1028
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1029
1030
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1031
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1032
1033
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1034
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1035
(Martin Pool)
1036
1037
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1038
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1039
1040
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1041
class that needs it.
1042
(Martin Pool)
1043
1044
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1045
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1046
1047
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1048
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1049
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1050
1051
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1052
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1053
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1054
(Robert Collins)
1055
1056
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1057
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1058
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1059
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1060
(Robert Collins)
1061
1062
INTERNALS:
1063
1064
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1065
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1066
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1067
1068
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1069
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1070
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1071
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1072
1073
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1074
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1075
(Robert Collins)
1076
1077
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1078
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1079
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1080
1081
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1082
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1083
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1084
1085
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1086
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1087
1088
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1089
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1090
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1091
1092
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1093
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1094
1095
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1096
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1097
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1098
1099
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1100
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1101
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1102
1103
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1104
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1105
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1106
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1107
1108
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1109
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1110
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1111
returned. (Robert Collins)
1112
1113
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1114
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1115
1116
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1117
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1118
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1119
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1120
(Robert Collins)
1121
1122
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1123
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1124
1125
TESTING:
1126
1127
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1128
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1129
1130
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1131
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1132
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1133
makes this behavior available to other users.
1134
(Martin Pool)
1135
1136
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1137
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1138
1139
1140
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1141
-------------------
1142
1143
BUG FIXES:
1144
1145
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1146
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1147
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1148
1149
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1150
1151
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1152
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1153
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1154
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1155
1156
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1157
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1158
(Andrew Bennetts)
1159
1160
1161
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1162
----------------------
1163
1164
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1165
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1166
1167
1168
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1169
----------------------
1170
1171
CHANGES:
1172
1173
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1174
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1175
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1176
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1177
(Martin Pool)
1178
1179
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1180
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1181
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1182
(Ian Clatworthy)
1183
1184
FEATURES:
1185
1186
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1187
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1188
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1189
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1190
1191
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1192
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1193
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1194
1195
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1196
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1197
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1198
1199
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1200
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1201
1202
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1203
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1204
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1205
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1206
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1207
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1208
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1209
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1210
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1211
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1212
1213
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1214
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1215
1216
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1217
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1218
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1219
1220
BUG FIXES:
1221
1222
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1223
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1224
1225
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1226
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1227
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1228
1229
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1230
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1231
1232
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1233
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1234
1235
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1236
(Aaron Bentley)
1237
1238
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1239
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1240
1241
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1242
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1243
1244
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1245
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1246
1247
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1248
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1249
1250
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1251
1252
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1253
Watkins, #106726)
1254
1255
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1256
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1257
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1258
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1259
1260
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1261
1262
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1263
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1264
#133548)
1265
1266
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1267
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1268
1269
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1270
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1271
#116143)
1272
1273
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1274
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1275
1276
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1277
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1278
1279
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1280
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1281
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1282
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1283
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1284
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1285
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1286
1287
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1288
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1289
1290
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1291
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1292
1293
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1294
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1295
1296
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1298
1299
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1300
connections.
1301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1302
1303
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1304
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1305
1306
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1307
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1308
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1309
1310
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1311
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1312
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1313
1314
IMPROVEMENTS:
1315
1316
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1317
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1318
1319
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1320
(Aaron Bentley)
1321
1322
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1323
(Aaron Bentley)
1324
1325
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1326
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1327
1328
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1329
1330
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1331
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1332
1333
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1334
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1335
1336
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1337
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1338
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1339
space). (Robert Collins)
1340
1341
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1342
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1343
(Ian Clatworthy)
1344
1345
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1346
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1347
1348
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1349
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1350
1351
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1352
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1353
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1354
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1355
1356
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1357
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1358
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1359
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1360
1361
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1362
(Ian Clatworthy)
1363
1364
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1365
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1366
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1367
1368
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1369
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1370
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1371
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1372
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1373
1374
API BREAKS:
1375
1376
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1377
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1378
1379
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1380
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1381
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1382
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1383
affected. (Robert Collins)
1384
1385
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1386
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1387
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1388
(Robert Collins)
1389
1390
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1391
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1392
1393
TESTING:
1394
1395
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1396
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1397
1398
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1399
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1400
1401
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1402
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1403
1404
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1405
(Aaron Bentley)
1406
1407
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1408
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1409
1410
INTERNALS:
1411
1412
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1413
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1414
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1415
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1416
1417
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1418
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1419
1420
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1421
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1422
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1423
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1424
1425
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1426
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1427
present. (Robert Collins)
1428
1429
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1430
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1431
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1432
API. (Robert Collins)
1433
1434
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1435
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1436
(Robert Collins)
1437
1438
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1439
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1440
1441
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1442
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1443
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1444
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1445
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1446
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1449
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1450
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1451
1452
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1453
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1454
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1455
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1456
protocol.
1457
1458
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1459
(Aaron Bentley)
1460
1461
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1462
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1463
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1464
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1465
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1466
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1467
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1468
1469
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1470
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1471
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1472
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1473
1474
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1475
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1476
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1477
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1478
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1479
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1480
1481
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1482
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1483
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1484
1485
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1486
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1490
-------------------
1491
1492
IMPROVEMENTS:
1493
1494
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1495
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1496
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1497
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1498
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1499
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1500
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1501
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1502
1503
1504
API CHANGES:
1505
1506
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1507
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1508
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1509
1510
1511
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1512
----------------------
1513
1514
BUGFIXES:
1515
1516
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1517
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1518
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1519
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1520
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1521
1522
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1523
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1524
1525
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1526
anymore.
1527
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1528
1529
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1530
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1531
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1532
1533
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1534
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1535
#111664)
1536
1537
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1538
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1539
1540
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1541
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1542
1543
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1544
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1545
1546
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1547
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1548
1549
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1550
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1551
1552
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1553
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1554
1555
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1556
(Aaron Bentley)
1557
1558
IMPROVEMENTS:
1559
1560
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1561
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1562
1563
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1564
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1565
1566
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1567
the repository (Robert Collins)
1568
1569
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1570
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1571
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1572
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1573
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1574
1575
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1576
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1577
1578
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1579
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1580
(John Arbash Meinel)
1581
1582
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1583
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1584
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1585
about 10%).
1586
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1587
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1588
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1589
(John Arbash Meinel)
1590
1591
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1592
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1593
(Robert Collins)
1594
1595
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1596
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1597
1598
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1599
(Ian Clatworthy)
1600
1601
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1602
1603
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1604
1605
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1606
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1607
1608
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1609
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1610
Meinel)
1611
1612
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1613
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1614
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1615
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1616
1617
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1618
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1619
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1620
1621
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1622
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1623
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1624
1625
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1626
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1627
1628
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1629
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1630
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1631
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1632
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1633
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1634
(Ian Clatworthy)
1635
1636
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1637
(Alexander Belchenko)
1638
1639
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1640
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1641
1642
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1643
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1644
1645
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1646
1647
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1648
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1649
1650
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1651
1652
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1653
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1654
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1655
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1656
1657
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1658
1659
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1660
(Robert Collins)
1661
1662
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1663
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1664
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1665
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1666
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1667
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1668
1669
INTERNALS:
1670
1671
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1672
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1673
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1674
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1675
1676
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1677
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1678
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1679
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1680
tests have been refactored too.
1681
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1682
1683
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1684
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1685
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1686
list, it will.
1687
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1688
1689
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1690
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1691
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1692
1693
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1694
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1695
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1696
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1697
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1698
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1699
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1700
1701
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1702
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1703
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1704
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1705
(John Arbash Meinel)
1706
1707
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1708
functionality for testing.
1709
1710
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1711
1712
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1713
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1714
1715
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1716
1717
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1718
(Robert Collins)
1719
1720
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1721
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1722
1723
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1724
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1725
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1726
1727
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1728
(Aaron Bentley)
1729
1730
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1731
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1732
1733
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1734
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1735
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1736
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1737
1738
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1739
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1740
1741
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1742
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1743
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1744
1745
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1746
(Marius Kruger)
1747
1748
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1749
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1750
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1751
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1752
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1753
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1754
1755
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1756
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1757
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1758
many files. (Robert Collins)
1759
1760
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1761
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1762
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1763
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1764
1765
TESTING:
1766
1767
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1768
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1769
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1770
1771
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1772
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1773
1774
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1775
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1776
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1791
1792
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1793
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1794
1795
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1796
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1797
(James Westby, #122656)
1798
1799
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1800
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1801
1802
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1803
authentication header.
1804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1805
1806
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1807
1808
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1809
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1810
1811
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1812
1813
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1814
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1815
1816
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1817
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1818
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1819
1820
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1821
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1822
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1823
1824
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1825
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1826
1827
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1829
1830
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1831
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1832
1833
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1834
1835
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1836
1837
IMPROVEMENTS:
1838
1839
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1840
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1841
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1842
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1843
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1844
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1845
1846
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1847
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1848
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1849
1850
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1851
(Elliot Murphy)
1852
1853
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1854
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1855
1856
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1857
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1858
1859
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1860
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1861
1862
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1863
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1864
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1865
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1866
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1867
1868
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1869
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1870
1871
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1872
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1873
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1874
1875
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1876
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1877
1878
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1879
1880
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1881
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1882
1883
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1884
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1885
(Robert Collins)
1886
1887
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1888
(Martin Pool)
1889
1890
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1891
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1892
1893
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1894
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1895
1896
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1897
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1898
1899
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1900
1901
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1902
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1903
1904
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1905
(Andrew Bennetts)
1906
1907
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1908
1909
* Testing cleanups -
1910
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1911
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1912
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1913
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1914
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1915
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1916
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1917
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1918
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1919
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1920
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1921
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1922
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1923
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1924
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1925
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1926
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1927
(Robert Collins)
1928
1929
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1930
1931
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1932
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1933
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1936
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1937
1938
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1939
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1940
1941
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1942
1943
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1944
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1945
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1946
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1947
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1948
same location. (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
INTERNALS:
1951
1952
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1953
1954
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1955
1956
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1957
1958
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1959
(Martin Pool)
1960
1961
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1962
(Martin Pool)
1963
1964
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1965
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1966
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1967
1968
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1969
1970
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1971
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1972
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1973
1974
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1975
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1976
1977
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1978
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1979
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1980
1981
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1982
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1983
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1984
1985
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1986
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1987
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1988
1989
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1990
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1991
Martin Pool)
1992
1993
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1994
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1995
1996
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1997
(Alexander Belchenko)
1998
1999
TESTING:
2000
2001
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2002
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2003
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2004
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2005
2006
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2007
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2008
testing. (Robert Collins)
2009
2010
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2011
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2012
2013
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2014
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2015
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2016
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2017
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2018
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2019
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2020
2021
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2022
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2023
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2024
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2025
2026
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2027
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2028
2029
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2030
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2050
2051
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2052
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2053
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2054
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2055
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2056
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2057
and unlock() like so::
2058
2059
work_tree.lock_read()
2060
try:
2061
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2062
finally:
2063
work_tree.unlock()
2064
2065
INTERNALS:
2066
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2067
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2068
object.
2069
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2070
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2071
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2072
2073
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2074
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2075
too. (Robert Collins)
2076
2077
IMPROVEMENTS:
2078
2079
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2080
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2081
Aaron Bentley)
2082
2083
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2084
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2085
2086
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2087
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2088
2089
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2090
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2091
understanding what changes have occurred
2092
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2093
2094
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2095
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2096
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2097
2098
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2099
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2100
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2101
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2102
2103
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2104
#56322)
2105
2106
BUGFIXES:
2107
2108
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2109
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2110
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2111
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2112
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2113
2114
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2115
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2116
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2117
2118
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2120
2121
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2122
into account.
2123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2124
2125
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2126
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2127
2128
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2129
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2130
2131
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2132
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2133
2134
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2135
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2136
2137
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2138
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2139
2140
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2141
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2142
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2145
--------------------
2146
2147
BUGFIXES:
2148
2149
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2150
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2151
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2152
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2153
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2154
2155
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2156
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2157
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2158
2159
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2160
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2161
2162
IMPROVEMENTS:
2163
2164
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2165
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2166
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2167
2168
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2169
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2170
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2171
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2174
-----------------------
2175
2176
BUGFIXES:
2177
2178
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2179
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2180
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2181
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2182
2183
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2184
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2185
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2186
2187
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2188
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2189
2190
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2191
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2192
2193
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2194
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2197
-----------------------
2198
2199
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2200
2201
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2202
it could be recovered again.
2203
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2204
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2205
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2206
but not delete it.
2207
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2208
files.
2209
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2210
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2211
2212
IMPROVEMENTS:
2213
2214
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2215
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2216
2217
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2218
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2219
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2220
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2221
2222
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2223
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2224
2225
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2226
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2227
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2228
2229
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2230
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2231
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2232
2233
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2234
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2235
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2236
2237
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2238
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2239
Robert Collins)
2240
2241
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2242
Pool)
2243
2244
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2245
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2246
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2247
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2248
2249
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2250
(Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2253
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2254
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2255
(Robert Collins)
2256
2257
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2258
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2259
2260
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2261
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2262
2263
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2264
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2265
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2266
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2267
(Robert Collins)
2268
2269
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2270
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2271
2272
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2273
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2274
2275
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2276
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2277
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2278
2279
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2280
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2281
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2282
2283
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2284
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2285
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2288
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2289
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2290
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2291
2292
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2293
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2294
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2295
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2296
2297
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2298
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2299
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2300
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2301
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2302
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2303
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2304
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2305
header(s).
2306
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2307
2308
INTERNALS:
2309
2310
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2311
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2312
2313
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2314
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2315
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2316
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2317
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2318
2319
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2320
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2321
2322
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2323
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2324
2325
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2326
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2327
2328
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2329
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2330
2331
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2332
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2333
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2334
(Robert Collins).
2335
2336
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2337
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2338
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2339
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2340
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2341
(Robert Collins)
2342
2343
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2344
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2345
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2346
2347
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2348
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2349
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2350
2351
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2352
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2353
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2354
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2355
2356
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2357
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2358
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2359
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2360
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2361
2362
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2363
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2364
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2365
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2366
2367
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2368
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2369
2370
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2371
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2372
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2373
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2374
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2375
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2376
2377
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2378
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2379
2380
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2381
help. (Robert Collins)
2382
2383
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2384
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2385
2386
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2387
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2388
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2389
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2390
(John Arbash Meinel)
2391
2392
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2393
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2394
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2395
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2396
useful. (Robert Collins)
2397
2398
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2399
(Andrew Bennetts)
2400
2401
BUGFIXES:
2402
2403
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2404
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2405
2406
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2407
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2408
2409
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2410
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2411
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2412
2413
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2414
(Aaron Bentley)
2415
2416
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2417
the file, and does it faster.
2418
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2419
2420
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2421
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2422
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2423
2424
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2425
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2426
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2427
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2428
2429
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2430
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2431
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2432
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2433
2434
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2435
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2436
2437
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2438
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2439
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2440
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2441
Arbash Meinel)
2442
2443
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2444
2445
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2446
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2447
2448
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2449
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2450
2451
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2452
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2453
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2454
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2455
security hole.
2456
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2457
2458
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2459
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2460
2461
TESTING:
2462
2463
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2464
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2465
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2468
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2469
2470
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2471
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2472
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2473
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2474
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2475
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2476
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2477
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2478
2479
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2480
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2481
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2482
2483
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2484
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2485
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2486
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2487
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2488
access.
2489
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2490
2491
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2492
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2493
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2494
2495
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2496
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2497

2512
-----------------------
2513
2514
CHANGES:
2515
2516
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2517
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2518
(Martin Pool)
2519
2520
IMPROVEMENTS:
2521
2522
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2523
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2524
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2525
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2526
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2527
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2528
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2529
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2530
path. (vila)
2531
2532
INTERNALS:
2533
2534
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2535
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2536
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2537
2538
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2539
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2540
(Martin Pool)
2541
2542
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2543
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2544
(John Arbash Meinel)
2545
2546
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2547
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2548
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2549
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2550
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2551
2552
BUGFIXES:
2553
2554
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2555
(vila, #92195)
2556
2557
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2558
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2559
2560
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2561
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2562
2563
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2564
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2565
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2566
2567
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2568
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2569
2570
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2571
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2572
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2573
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2574
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2575
2576
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2577
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2578
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2579
2580
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2584
-----------------------
2585
2586
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2587
2588
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2589
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2590
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2591
2592
IMPROVEMENTS:
2593
2594
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2595
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2596
2597
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2598
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2599
2600
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2601
2602
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2603
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2604
2605
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2606
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2607
2608
INTERNALS:
2609
2610
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2611
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2612
2613
BUGFIXES:
2614
2615
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2616
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2617
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2618
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2619
2620
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2621
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2622
2623
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2624
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2625
2626
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2627
(Marien Zwart)
2628
2629
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2630
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2633
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2634
-----------------------
2635
2636
SURPRISES:
2637
2638
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2639
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2640
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2641
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2642
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2643
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2644
2645
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2646
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2647
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2648
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2649
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2650
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2651
development.
2652
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2653
2654
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2655
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2656
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2657
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2658
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2659
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2660
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2661
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2662
2663
IMPROVEMENTS:
2664
2665
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2666
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2667
2668
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2669
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2670
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2671
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2672
does exist.
2673
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2674
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2675
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2676
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2677
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2678
2679
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2680
(Aaron Bentley)
2681
2682
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2683
(Aaron Bentley)
2684
2685
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2686
(Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2689
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2690
(Aaron Bentley)
2691
2692
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2693
(Aaron Bentley)
2694
2695
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2696
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2697
2698
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2699
directory. (Martin Pool)
2700
2701
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2702
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2703
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2704
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2705
2706
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2707
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2708
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2709
in docs/configuration.txt.
2710
2711
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2712
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2713
bind location.
2714
2715
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2716
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2717
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2718
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2719
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2720
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2721
2722
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2723
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2724
2725
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2726
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2727
2728
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2729
(Aaron Bentley)
2730
2731
INTERNALS:
2732
2733
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2734
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2735
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2736
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2737
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2738
(John Arbash Meinel)
2739
2740
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2741
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2742
(Aaron Bentley)
2743
2744
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2745
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2746
(John Arbash Meinel)
2747
2748
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2749
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2750
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2751
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2752
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2753
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2754
2755
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2756
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2757
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2758
2759
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2760
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2761
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2762
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2763
repository.
2764
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2765
2766
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2767
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2768
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2769
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2772
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2773
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2774
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2775
2776
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2777
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2778
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2779
2780
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2781
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2782
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2783
2784
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2785
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2786
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2787
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2788
2789
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2790
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2791
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2792
2793
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2794
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2795
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2796
2797
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2798
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2799
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2800
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2801
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2802
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2803
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2804
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2805
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2808
2809
BUGFIXES:
2810
2811
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2812
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2813
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2814
2815
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2816
(Aaron Bentley)
2817
2818
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2819
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2820
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2821
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2822
2823
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2824
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2825
#83954).
2826
2827
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2828
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2829
2830
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2831
2832
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2833
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2834
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2835
2836
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2837
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2838
2839
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2841
2842
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2844
2845
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2846
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2847
2848
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2849
2850
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2851
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2852
2853
TESTING:
2854
2855
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2856
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
2861
2862
IMPROVEMENTS:
2863
2864
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2865
2866
BUG FIXES:
2867
2868
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2869
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2870
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2871
2872
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2873
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2874
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2877
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2878
-----------------------
2879
2880
IMPROVEMENTS:
2881
2882
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2883
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2884
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2885
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2886
2887
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2888
(Marius Kruger)
2889
2890
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2891
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2892
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2893
2894
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2895
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2896
2897
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2898
(Aaron Bentley)
2899
2900
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2901
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2902
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2903
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2904
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2905
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2906
2907
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2908
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2909
should enable you to do::
2910
2911
[/home/user/project]
2912
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2913
push_location:policy = appendpath
2914
2915
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2916
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2917
(James Henstridge)
2918
2919
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2920
for each file. For example::
2921
2922
$ bzr status --short
2923
A foo
2924
A bar
2925
D baz
2926
? wooley
2927
2928
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2929
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2930
2931
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2932
2933
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2934
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2935
2936
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2937
2938
INTERNALS:
2939
2940
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2941
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2942
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2943
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2944
2945
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2946
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2947
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2948
2949
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2950
2951
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2952
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2953
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2954
(Alexander Belchenko)
2955
2956
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2957
Pool)
2958
2959
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2960
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2961
2962
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2963
2964
BUG FIXES:
2965
2966
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2967
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2968
2969
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2970
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2971
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2972
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2973
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2974
2975
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2976
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2977
2978
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2979
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2980
2981
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2982
matcher.
2983
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2984
2985
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2986
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2987
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2988
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2989
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2990
2991
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2992
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2993
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2994
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2995
2996
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2997
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2998
2999
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3000
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3001
3002
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3003
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3004
3005
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3018
3019
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3020
tree from a branch.
3021
(Daniel Silverstone)
3022
3023
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3024
operations are substantially faster.
3025
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3026
3027
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3028
tree from some other url. For example:
3029
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3030
(Daniel Silverstone)
3031
3032
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3033
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3034
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3035
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3036
3037
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3038
(Andrew Bennetts)
3039
3040
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3041
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3042
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3043
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3044
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3045
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3046
3047
INTERNALS:
3048
3049
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3050
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3051
(Martin Pool)
3052
3053
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3054
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3055
(John Arbash Meinel)
3056
3057
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3058
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3059
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3060
(John Arbash Meinel)
3061
3062
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3063
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3064
3065
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3066
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3067
3068
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3069
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3070
Bennetts)
3071
3072
BUG FIXES:
3073
3074
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3075
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3076
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3077
3078
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3079
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3080
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3081
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3082
3083
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3084
3085
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3086
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3087
3088
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3089
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3090
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3092
3093
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3094
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3095
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3096
3097
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3098
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3099
them as full references rather than integers.
3100
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3101
3102
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3103
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3104
3105
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3106
3107
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3108
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3109
3110
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3111
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3112
3113
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3114
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3115
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3116
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3117
3118
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3119
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3120
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3121
3122
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3123
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3124
3125
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3126
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3127
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3128
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3129
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3130
3131
TESTING:
3132
3133
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3134
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3137
--------------------
3138
3139
INTERNALS:
3140
3141
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

3145
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3146
-----------------------
3147
3148
IMPROVEMENTS:
3149
3150
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3151
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3152
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3153
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3154
3155
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3156
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3157
3158
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3159
3160
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3161
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3162
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3163
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3164
3165
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3166
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3167
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3168
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3169
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3170
3171
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3172
3173
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3174
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3175
3176
INTERNALS:
3177
3178
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3179
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3180
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3181
3182
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3183
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3184
(John Arbash Meinel)
3185
3186
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3187
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3188
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3189
3190
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3191
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3192
(Aaron Bentley)
3193
3194
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3195
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3196
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3197
3198
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3199
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3200
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3201
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3202
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3203
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3204
3205
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3206
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3207
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3208
(Robert Collins)
3209
3210
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3211
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3212
3213
BUG FIXES:
3214
3215
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3216
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3217
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3218
#63360, #66349)
3219
3220
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3221
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3222
3223
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3224
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.

* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3228
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3229
3230
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3231
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3232
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3233
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3234
3235
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3236
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3237
3238
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3239
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3240
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3241
3242
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3243
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3244
3245
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3246
3247
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3248
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3249
#32054)
3250
3251
TESTING:
3252
3253
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3254
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3255
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3256
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3257
3258
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3259
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3260
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3261
3262
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3263
--------------------
3264
3265
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3266
3267
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3268
-----------------------
3269
3270
BUG FIXES:
3271
3272
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3273
3274
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3275
Arbash Meinel).
3276
3277
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3278
-----------------------
3279
3280
IMPROVEMENTS:
3281
3282
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3283
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3284
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3285
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3286
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3287
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3288
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3289
3290
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3291
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3292
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3293
3294
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3295
3296
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3297
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3298
3299
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3300
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3301
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3302
(Robert Collins)
3303
3304
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3305
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3306
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3307
(John Arbash Meinel)
3308
3309
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3310
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3311
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3312
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3313
Pool)
3314
3315
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3316
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3317
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3318
(John Arbash Meinel)
3319
3320
BUG FIXES:
3321
3322
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3323
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3324
3325
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3326
3327
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3328
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3329
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3330
3331
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3332
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3333
3334
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3335
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3336
3337
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3339
3340
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3341
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3342
3343
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3344
3345
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3346
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3347
3348
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3349
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3350
3351
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3352
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3353
3354
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3355
(John Arbash Meinel)
3356
3357
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3358
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3359
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3360
3361
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3362
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3363
3364
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3365
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3366
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3367
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3368
3369
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3370
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3371
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3372
3373
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3374
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3375
3376
PORTABILITY:
3377
3378
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3379
3380
INTERNALS:
3381
3382
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3383
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3384
(John Arbash Meinel)
3385
3386
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3387
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3388
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3389
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3390
3391
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3392
(Andrew Bennetts)
3393
3394
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3395
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3396
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3397
3398
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3399
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3402
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3403
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3404
3405
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3406
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3407
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3408
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3409
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3410
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3411
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3412
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3413
caller to repeat their request.
3414
(John Arbash Meinel)
3415
3416
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3417
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3418
3419
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3420
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3421
3422
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3423
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3424
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3425
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3426
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3427
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3428
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3429
3430
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3431
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3432
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3433
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3434
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3435
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3436
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3437
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3438
(Robert Collins)
3439
3440
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3441
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3442
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3443
3444
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3445
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3446
3447
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3448
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3449
3450
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3451
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3452
3453
TESTING:
3454
3455
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3456
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3457
3458
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3459
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3460
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3461
3462
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3463
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3464
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3465
3466
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3467
--------------------
3468
3469
IMPROVEMENTS:
3470
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3471
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3472
3473
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3474
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3475
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3476
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3477
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3478
3479
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3480
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3481
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3482
3483
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3484
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3485
3486
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3487
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3488
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3489
3490
BUG FIXES:
3491
3492
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3493
3494
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3495
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3496
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3497
3498
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3499
3500
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3501
3502
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3503
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3504
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3505
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3506
3507
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3508
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3509
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3510
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3511
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3512
3513
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3514
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3515
3516
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3517
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3518
3519
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3520
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3521
3522
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3523
in handling of revision properties.
3524
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3525
3526
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3527
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3528
3529
INTERNALS:
3530
3531
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3532
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3533
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3534
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3535
(John Arbash Meinel)
3536
3537
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3538
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3539
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3540
3541
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3542
---------------------
3543
3544
SURPRISES:
3545
3546
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3547
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3548
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3549
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3550
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3551
a more conservative list than the old default.
3552
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3553
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3554
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3555
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3556
3557
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3558
to more locations than just branch locations.
3559
(Aaron Bentley)
3560
3561
IMPROVEMENTS:
3562
3563
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3564
revno:N:branch. For example,
3565
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3566
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3567
3568
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3569
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3570
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3571
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3572
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3573
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3574
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3575
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3576
#42517, #42514)
3577
3578
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3579
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3580
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3581
(Malone #3507)
3582
3583
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3584
(Alexander Belchenko)
3585
3586
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3587
3588
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3589
(Robert Collins).
3590
3591
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3592
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3593
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3594
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3595
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3596
(John Arbash Meinel)
3597
3598
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3599
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3600
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3601
grained analysis of performance.
3602
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3603
3604
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3605
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3606
3607
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3608
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3609
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3610
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3611
file. (Robert Collins).
3612
3613
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3614
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3615
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3616
3617
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3618
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3619
Matthieu Moy)
3620
3621
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3622
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3623
3624
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3625
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3626
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3627
the same way you would apply another branch.
3628
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3629
3630
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3631
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3632
3633
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3634
(Michael Ellerman)
3635
3636
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3637
(Aaron Bentley)
3638
3639
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3640
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3641
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3642
3643
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3644
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3645
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3646
3647
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3648
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3649
3650
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3651
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3652
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3653
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3654
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3655
3656
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3657
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3658
3659
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3660
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3661
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3662
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3663
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3664
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3665
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3666
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3667
3668
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3669
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3670
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3671
3672
BUG FIXES:
3673
3674
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3675
tests not to run.
3676
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3677
3678
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3679
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3680
3681
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3682
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3683
3684
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3685
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3686
3687
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3688
3689
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3690
(John Arbash Meinel)
3691
3692
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3693
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3694
3695
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3696
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3697
and y.
3698
3699
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3700
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3701
3702
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3703
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3704
3705
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3706
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3707
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3708
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3709
3710
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3711
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3712
3713
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3714
3715
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3716
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3717
3718
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3719
3720
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3721
3722
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3723
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3724
3725
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3726
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3727
3728
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3729
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3730
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3731
3732
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3733
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3734
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3735
3736
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3737
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3738
3739
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3740
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3741
3742
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3743
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3744
3745
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3746
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3747
3748
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3749
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3750
3751
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3752
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3753
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3754
3755
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3756
3757
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3758
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3759
3760
INTERNALS:
3761
3762
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3763
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3764
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3765
3766
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3767
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3768
3769
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3770
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3771
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3772
3773
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3774
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3775
3776
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3777
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3778
(Martin Pool)
3779
3780
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3781
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3782
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3783
3784
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3785
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3786
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3787
3788
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3789
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3790
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3791
3792
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3793
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3794
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3795
3796
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3797
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3798
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3799
3800
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3801
instead. (Robert Collins)
3802
3803
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3818
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3819
3820
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3821
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3822
3823
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3824
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

3835
3836
CHANGES:
3837
3838
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3839
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3840
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3841
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3842
3843
NEW FEATURES:
3844
3845
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3846
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
3850
3851

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3854
3855
TESTING:

3860
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3861
-------------------
3862
3863
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3864
3865
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3866
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3867
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3868
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3869
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3870
will keep the same format.
3871
3872
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3873
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3874
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3875
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3876
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3877
3878
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3879
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3880
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3881
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3882
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3883
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3884
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3885
3886
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3887
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3888
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3889
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3890
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3891
3892
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3893
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3894
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3895
arrangement.
3896
3897
3898
IMPROVEMENTS:
3899
3900
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3901
convention. Paths now take the form::
3902
3903
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3904
or
3905
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3906
3907
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3908
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3909
3910
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3911
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3912
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3913
3914
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3915
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3916
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3917
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3918
3919
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3920
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3921
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3922
3923
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3924
3925
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3926
3927
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3928
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3929
commits::
3930
3931
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3932
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3933
| xargs bzr re-sign
3934
3935
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3936
3937
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3938
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3939
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3940
(Robert Collins)
3941
3942
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3943
3944
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3945
3946
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3947
'.moved'.
3948
3949
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3950
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3951
3952
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3953
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3954
Daniel Silverstone)
3955
3956
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3957
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3958
Martin Pool)
3959
3960
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3961
3962
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3963
3964
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3965
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3966
3967
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3968
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3969
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3970
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3971
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3972
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3973
3974
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3975
3976
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3977
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3978
(Robert Collins)
3979
3980
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3981
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3982
3983
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3984
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3985
3986
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3987
3988
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3989
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3990
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3991
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3992
specification by Martin Pool.
3993
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3994
3995
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3996
Belchenko)
3997
3998
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3999
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4000
4001
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4002
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4003
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4004
4005
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4006
4007
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4008
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4009
(Robert Collins)
4010
4011
CHANGES:
4012
4013
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4014
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4015
4016
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4017
4018
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4019
4020
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4021
(Olaf Conradi)
4022
4023
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4024
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4025
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4026
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4027
4028
INTERNALS:
4029
4030
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4031
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4032
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4033
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4034
4035
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4036
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4037
tried. (Martin Pool)
4038
4039
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4040
(Martin Pool)
4041
4042
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4043
4044
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4045
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4046
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4047
4048
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4049
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4050
4051
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4052
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4053
paths. (Robert Collins)
4054
4055
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4056
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4057
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4058
4059
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4060
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4061
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4062
4063
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4064
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4065
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4066
4067
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4068
(Olaf Conradi)
4069
4070
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4071
(Olaf Conradi)
4072
4073
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4074
4075
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4076
4077
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4078
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4079
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4080
(Robert Collins)
4081
4082
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4083
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4084
4085
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4086
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4087
check. (Robert Collins)
4088
4089
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4090
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4091
4092
TESTING:
4093
4094
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4095
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4096
4097
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4098
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4099
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4100
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4101
4102
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4103
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4104
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4105
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4106
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4107
4108
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4109
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4110
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4111
4112
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4113
4114
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4115
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4118
------------------

4120
CHANGES:
4121
4122
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4123
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4124
4125
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4126
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4127
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4128
(Johan Rydberg)
4129
4130
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4131
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4132
4133
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4134
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4135
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4136
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4137
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4138
4139
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4140
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4141
used. (Robert Collins)
4142
4143
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4144
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4145
(James Henstridge)
4146
4147
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4148
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4149
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4150
4151
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4152
ignore list.
4153
4154
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4155
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4156
4157
IMPROVEMENTS:
4158
4159
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4160
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4161
4162
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4163
4164
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4165
4166
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4167
tree. (Robert Collins)
4168
4169
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4170
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4171
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4172
(Robert Collins)
4173
4174
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4175
that they be kept.
4176
4177
* Tweaks to short log printing
4178
4179
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4180
(Aaron Bentley)
4181
4182
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4183
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4184
4185
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4186
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4187
4188
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4189
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4190
4191
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4192
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4193
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4194
4195
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4196
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4197
4198
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4199
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4200
requests.
4201
4202
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4203
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4204
4205
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4206
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4207
4208
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4209
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4210
4211
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4212
(Denys Duchier)
4213
4214
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4215
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4216
4217
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4218
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4219
4220
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4221
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4222
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4223
4224
BUG FIXES:
4225
4226
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4227
4228
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4229
4230
* Error when run with -OO
4231
4232
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4233
(Martin Pool)
4234
4235
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4236
4237
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4238
4239
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4240
ignored by diff and status
4241
4242
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4243
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4244
4245
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4246
4247
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4248
4249
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4250
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4251
4252
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4253
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4254
4255
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4256
(Harald Meland)
4257
4258
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4259
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4260
4261
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4262
4263
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4264
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4265
4266
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4267
(Martin Pool)
4268
4269
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4270
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4271
4272
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4273
4274
TESTING:
4275
4276
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4277
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4278
4279
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4280
4281
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4282
4283
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4284
4285
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4286
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4287
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4288
4289
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4290
4291
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4292
(John Arbash Meinel)
4293
4294
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4295
4296
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4297
If adding a new test script please add that to
4298
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4299
4300
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4301
imported. (Martin Pool)
4302
4303
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4304
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4305
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4306
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4307
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4308
(Robert Collins)
4309
4310
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4311
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4312
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4313
4314
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4315
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4316
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4317
4318
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4319
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4320
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4321
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4322
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4323
(Robert Collins).
4324
4325
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4326
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4327
(Robert Collins).
4328
4329
INTERNALS:
4330
4331
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4332
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4333
4334
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4335
function. (Robert Collins)
4336
4337
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4338
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4339
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4340
4341
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4342
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4343
(Robert Collins)
4344
4345
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4346
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4347
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4348
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4349
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4350
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4351
version. (Robert Collins)
4352
4353
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4354
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4355
4356
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4357
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4358
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4359
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4360
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4361
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4362
4363
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4364
(Robert Collins)
4365
4366
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4367
4368
add()
4369
commit()
4370
move()
4371
rename_one()
4372
unknowns()
4373
4374
(Robert Collins)
4375
4376
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4377
4378
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4379
4380
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4381
Pool)
4382
4383
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4384
query method. (Robert Collins)
4385
4386
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4387
(Denys Duchier)
4388
4389
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4390
(Michael Ellerman)
4391
4392
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4393
(Michael Ellerman)
4394
4395
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4396
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4397
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4398
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4399
4400
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4401
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4402
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4403
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4404
4405
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4406
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4407

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4409
------------------
4410
4411
IMPROVEMENTS:
4412
4413
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4414
(John A Meinel)
4415
4416
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4417
conflicts.
4418
(Aaron Bentley)
4419
4420
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4421
a separator, not ':'.
4422
(Aaron Bentley)
4423
4424
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4425
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4426
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4427
4428
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4429
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4430
(Robert Collins)
4431
4432
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4433
has been added that suppresses all output.
4434
4435
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4436
Adams.
4437
4438
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4439
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4440
4441
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4442
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4443
4444
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4445
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4446
4447
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4448
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4449
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4450
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4451
4452
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4453
4454
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4455
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4456
4457
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4458
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4459
4460
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4461
output directory, if one was supplied.
4462
4463
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4464
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4465
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4466
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4467
4468
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4469
4470
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4471
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4472
4473
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4474
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4475
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4476
4477
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4478
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4479
4480
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4481
(Aaron Bentley)
4482
4483
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4484
4485
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4486
4487
TESTING:
4488
4489
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4490
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4491
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4492
4493
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4494
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4495
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4496
4497
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4498
is given. (Martin Pool)
4499
4500
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4501
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4502
file. (Robert Collins)
4503
4504
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4505
(Martin Pool)
4506
4507
INTERNALS:
4508
4509
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4510
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4511
representation. (Martin Pool).
4512
4513
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4514
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4515
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4516
4517
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4518
(Robert Collins)
4519
4520
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4521
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4522
Magnus Therning.
4523
4524
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4525
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4526
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4527
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4528
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4529
4530
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4531
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4532
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4533
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4534
python path. (Robert Collins)
4535
4536
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4537
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4538
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4539
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4540
4541
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4542
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4543
4544
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4545
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4546
(Robert Collins)
4547
4548
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4549
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4550
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4551
4552
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4553
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4554
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4555
4556
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4557
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4558
4559
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4560
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4561
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4562
(Robert Collins)
4563
4564
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4565
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4566
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4567
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4568
(Robert Collins)
4569
4570
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4571
(Robert Collins)
4572
4573
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4574
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4575
(Robert Collins)
4576
4577
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4578
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4579
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4580
4581
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4582
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4583
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4584
4585
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4586
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4587
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4588
4589
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4590
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4591
4592
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4593
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4594
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4595
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4596
caller. (Robert Collins)
4597
4598
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4599
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4600
(Robert Collins).
4601
4602
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4603
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4604
(Aaron Bentley)
4605
4606
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4607
4608
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4609
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4610
4611
BUG FIXES:
4612
4613
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4614
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4615
4616
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4617
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4620
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4621
--------------------
4622
4623
BUG FIXES:
4624
4625
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4626
allow directories to be listed.
4627
4628
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4629
upgrading branch format.
4630
4631
PERFORMANCE:
4632
4633
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4634
4635
4636
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4637
------------------
4638
4639
NOTES:
4640
4641
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4642
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4643
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4644
high-latency connections.
4645
4646
BUG FIXES:
4647
4648
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4649
Rob Weir.
4650
4651
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4652
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4653
4654
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4655
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4656
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4657
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4658
4659
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4660
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4661
4662
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4663
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4664
4665
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4666
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4667
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4668
4669
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4670
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4671
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4672
Robert Collins
4673
4674
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4675
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4676
4677
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4678
different partial views of history.
4679
4680
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4681
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4682
4683
IMPROVEMENTS:
4684
4685
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4686
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4687
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4688
4689
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4690
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4691
'bzr upgrade'.
4692
4693
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4694
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4695
4696
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4697
Niemeyer.
4698
4699
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4700
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4701
4702
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4703
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4704
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4705
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4706
4707
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4708
4709
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4710
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4711
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4712
4713
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4714
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4715
4716
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4717
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4718
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4719
4720
4721
INTERNALS:
4722
4723
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4724
for your viewing pleasure.
4725
4726
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4727
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4728
4729
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4730
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4731
handling of such circumstances.
4732
4733
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4734
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4735
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4736
4737
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4738
4739
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4740
we call them revisions not patches.
4741
4742
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4743
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4744
4745
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4746
giving the revision *of that file*.
4747
4748
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4749
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4750
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4751
4752
TESTING:
4753
4754
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4755
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4756
4757
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4758
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4759
4760
4761
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4762
--------------------
4763
4764
BUG FIXES:
4765
4766
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4767
4768
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4769
(Robert Collins).
4770
4771
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4772
4773
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4774
4775
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4776
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4777
4778
IMPROVEMENTS:
4779
4780
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4781
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4782
4783
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4784
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4785
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4786
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4787
Robey Pointer
4788
4789
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4790
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4791
4792
INTERNALS:
4793
4794
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4795
4796
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4797
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4798
4799
4800
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4801
--------------------
4802
4803
IMPROVEMENTS:
4804
4805
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4806
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4807
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4808
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4809
Michael Ellerman.
4810
4811
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4812
(Nir Soffer)
4813
4814
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4815
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4816
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4817
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4818
for the operating system is still tried.
4819
4820
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4821
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4822
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4823
4824
4825
INTERNALS:
4826
4827
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4828
4829
BUG FIXES:
4830
4831
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4832
4833
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4834
branch.
4835
4836
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4837
read.
4838
4839
4840
PORTABILITY:
4841
4842
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4843
4844
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4845
4846
4847
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4848
--------------------
4849
4850
NEW FEATURES:
4851
4852
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4853
help with intelligent shell completion.
4854
4855
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4856
4857
4858
ENHANCEMENTS:
4859
4860
* Much better merge support.
4861
4862
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4863
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4864
like emacs smerge.
4865
4866
4867
BUG FIXES:
4868
4869
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4870
mention revisions that are not present.
4871
4872
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4873
4874
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4875
4876
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4877
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4878
4879
4880
CHANGES:
4881
4882
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4883
4884
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4885
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4886
--help themselves.
4887
4888
4889
LIBRARY:
4890
4891
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4892
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4893
libraries.
4894
4895
4896
4897
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4898
--------------------
4899
4900
NEW FEATURES:
4901
4902
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4903
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4904
4905
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4906
4907
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4908
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4909
4910
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4911
FOO.
4912
4913
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4914
4915
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4916
the Unix command.
4917
4918
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4919
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4920
4921
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4922
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4923
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4924
4925
4926
ENHANCEMENTS:
4927
4928
* Faster working tree operations.
4929
4930
4931
CHANGES:
4932
4933
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4934
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4935
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4936
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4937
4938
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4939
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4940
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4941
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4942
standard plugins directory.
4943
4944
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4945
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4946
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4947
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4948
4949
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4950
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4951
4952
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4953
disk.
4954
4955
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4956
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4957
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4958
4959
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4960
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4961
4962
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4963
line options must come before the command name because they
4964
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4965
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4966
it.
4967
4968
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4969
4970
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4971
is available with ``--short``.
4972
4973
4974
BUG FIXES:
4975
4976
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4977
4978
4979
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4980
---------------------
4981
4982
CHANGES:
4983
4984
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4985
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4986
4987
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4988
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4989
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4990
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4991
4992
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4993
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4994
with the ``--forward`` option.
4995
4996
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4997
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4998
field.
4999
5000
5001
ENHANCEMENTS:
5002
5003
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5004
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5005
5006
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5007
5008
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5009
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5010
5011
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5012
5013
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5014
either read or write mode.
5015
5016
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5017
5018
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5019
affected that file.
5020
5021
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5022
5023
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5024
suggested by LarstiQ.
5025
5026
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5027
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5028
5029
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5030
a filename.
5031
5032
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5033
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5034
5035
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5036
haven't changed since the previous time.
5037
5038
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5039
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5040
5041
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5042
5043
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5044
5045
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5046
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5047
5048
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5049
options through to an external GNU diff.
5050
5051
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5052
their contents.
5053
5054
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5055
from a branch.
5056
5057
5058
BUG FIXES:
5059
5060
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5061
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5062
5063
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5064
metacharacters.
5065
5066
5067
TESTING:
5068
5069
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5070
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5071
the tests.
5072
5073
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5074
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5075
5076
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5077
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5078
5079
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5080
under a different version.
5081
5082
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5083
5084
5085
INTERNAL:
5086
5087
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5088
5089
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5090
Scott James Remnant.
5091
5092
* Better help messages for many commands.
5093
5094
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5095
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5096
5097
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5098
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5099
5100
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5101
5102
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5103
5104
* New AtomicFile class.
5105
5106
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5107
5108
5109
PORTABILITY:
5110
5111
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5112
2.4 is now only recommended.
5113
5114
5115
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5116
---------------------
5117
5118
ENHANCEMENTS:
5119
5120
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5121
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5122
5123
* More default ignore patterns.
5124
5125
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5126
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5127
5128

by Jason Diamon.

5135
5136
CHANGES:
5137
5138
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5139
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5140
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5141
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5142
there are DNS problems.
5143
5144
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5145
5146
5147

trailing newlines properly.
5155
5156
5157
INTERNAL:
5158
5159
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5160

5204
5205
PORTABILITY:
5206
5207
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5208

* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5246

5247
5248
* Performance improvements.
5249
5250
