14
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
15
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
16
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
17
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
20
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
21
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
22
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
23
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
24
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
27
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
28
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
29
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
38
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
39
for Windows (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
41
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
42
symlinks (James Henstridge)
46
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
47
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
54
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
55
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
56
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
59
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
60
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
61
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
62
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
64
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
65
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
66
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
69
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
70
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
71
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
72
format. (Robert Collins)
75
bzr 1.2rc1 (not released yet)
76
-----------------------------
80
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
81
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
82
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
83
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
84
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
89
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
90
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
92
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
93
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
94
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
96
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
97
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
98
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
99
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
100
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
101
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
106
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
107
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
109
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
110
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
111
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
114
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
115
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
116
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
117
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
118
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
120
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
121
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
122
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
123
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
124
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
125
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
126
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
127
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
131
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
132
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
134
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
135
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
137
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
138
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
140
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
141
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
142
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
144
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
145
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
150
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
151
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
153
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
154
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
156
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
157
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
159
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
160
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
162
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
163
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
164
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
165
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
166
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
168
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
170
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
171
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
174
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
175
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
177
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
178
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
180
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
183
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
184
more characters which should be considered valid.
185
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
187
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
188
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
190
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
191
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
195
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
196
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
198
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
199
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
204
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
205
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
210
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
211
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
212
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
214
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
215
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
216
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
218
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
219
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
220
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
221
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
223
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
225
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
226
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
227
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
228
server. (Robert Collins)
230
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
231
operate. (Robert Collins)
233
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
234
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
235
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
237
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
238
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
239
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
240
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
242
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
243
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
245
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
246
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
247
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
249
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
250
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
252
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
253
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
255
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
256
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
257
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
258
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
264
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
266
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
267
---------------------
271
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
272
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
273
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
274
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
276
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
277
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
278
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
279
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
283
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
286
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
289
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
290
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
294
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
297
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
298
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
299
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
301
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
303
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
304
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
305
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
306
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
307
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
309
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
310
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
311
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
313
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
314
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
316
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
319
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
321
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
323
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
326
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
327
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
331
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
332
(Martin Pool, #180208)
334
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
337
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
340
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
341
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
343
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
344
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
346
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
347
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
349
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
350
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
352
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
353
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
354
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
356
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
359
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
360
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
363
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
365
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
366
user:pass embedded in the urls.
367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
369
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
370
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
372
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
375
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
378
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
379
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
381
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
384
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
385
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
388
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
389
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
394
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
397
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
398
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
399
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
400
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
401
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
402
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
404
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
408
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
411
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
412
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
414
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
416
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
417
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
418
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
421
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
422
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
424
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
431
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
432
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
433
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
435
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
436
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
439
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
440
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
442
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
443
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
445
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
446
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
448
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
449
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
450
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
452
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
453
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
455
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
456
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
458
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
459
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
462
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
463
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
465
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
466
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
474
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
476
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
479
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
481
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
482
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
486
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
487
---------------------
491
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
492
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
493
by mail to the mailing list.
498
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
500
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
501
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
502
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
503
feedback but also incur more latency.
504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
506
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
507
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
511
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
513
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
518
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
519
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
520
wraps its output in a StringIO.
524
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
525
---------------------
529
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
531
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
534
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
537
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
538
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
539
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
540
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
542
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
545
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
546
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
548
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
549
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
550
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
552
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
553
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
554
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
555
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
556
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
557
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
558
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
559
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
560
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
564
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
567
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
571
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
572
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
574
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
576
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
578
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
579
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
583
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
584
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
586
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
587
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
591
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
592
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
595
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
596
---------------------
598
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
600
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
601
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
602
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
603
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
605
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
606
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
608
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
609
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
611
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
612
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
613
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
614
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
615
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
616
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
617
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
618
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
619
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
620
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
621
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
622
from any tree without problems.
623
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
627
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
628
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
629
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
631
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
632
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
633
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
638
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
639
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
640
supported transports.
643
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
644
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
645
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
647
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
648
(Robert Collins, #154173)
650
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
651
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
652
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
653
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
655
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
656
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
660
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
661
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
662
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
663
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
665
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
666
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
667
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
668
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
670
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
671
(Robert Collins, #88319)
673
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
674
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
676
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
677
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
679
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
680
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
685
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
688
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
689
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
692
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
693
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
694
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
695
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
697
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
698
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
699
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
700
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
706
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
707
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
709
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
710
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
712
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
713
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
715
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
718
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
719
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
721
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
722
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
724
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
727
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
730
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
733
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
734
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
737
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
738
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
740
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
741
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
743
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
744
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
746
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
747
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
749
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
750
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
751
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
752
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
754
(Martin Pool, #164637)
756
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
757
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
760
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
761
(Robert Collins, #161240)
763
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
765
(Martin Pool, #164443)
767
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
768
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
770
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
771
specify a port in urls.
772
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
774
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
775
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
777
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
778
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
780
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
781
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
783
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
784
(Robert Collins, #153789)
786
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
787
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
788
(Robert Collins, #165304).
790
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
792
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
793
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
795
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
798
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
799
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
801
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
802
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
804
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
805
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
806
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
808
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
809
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
811
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
812
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
813
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
814
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
816
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
817
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
819
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
820
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
821
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
823
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
824
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
826
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
829
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
834
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
835
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
837
* The return value of
838
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
839
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
840
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
841
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
843
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
846
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
847
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
853
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
854
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
855
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
858
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
859
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
861
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
871
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
874
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
875
----------------------
877
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
881
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
882
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
884
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
885
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
886
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
887
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
888
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
889
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
890
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
891
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
892
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
893
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
894
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
895
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
900
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
901
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
902
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
903
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
904
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
905
for further details. (Robert Collins)
907
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
908
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
909
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
912
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
914
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
915
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
917
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
918
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
921
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
922
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
923
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
927
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
928
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
930
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
931
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
933
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
934
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
935
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
936
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
938
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
941
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
942
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
943
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
944
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
946
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
947
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
949
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
950
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
952
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
953
the contents. (Robert Collins)
955
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
956
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
960
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
961
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
963
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
964
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
966
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
967
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
969
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
970
(Martin Pool, #63894)
972
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
973
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
977
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
979
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
984
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
985
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
986
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
988
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
989
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
991
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
992
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
994
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
995
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
996
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
997
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
999
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1000
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1001
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1002
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1003
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1005
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1006
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1010
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1012
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1013
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1015
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1018
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1021
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1022
contains a symbolic link.
1023
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1025
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1026
(James Westby, #140615)
1028
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1029
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1032
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1033
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1034
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1036
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1038
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1041
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1043
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1045
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1046
directory to detect leaking tests.
1047
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1049
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1050
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1051
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1053
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1056
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1057
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1059
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1064
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1065
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1067
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1068
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1069
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1071
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1072
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1073
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1075
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1076
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1078
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1079
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1081
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1082
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1085
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1086
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1088
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1089
class that needs it.
1092
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1093
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1095
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1096
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1097
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1099
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1100
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1101
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1104
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1105
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1106
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1107
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1112
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1113
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1114
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1116
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1117
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1118
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1119
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1121
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1122
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1125
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1126
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1127
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1129
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1130
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1131
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1133
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1134
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1136
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1137
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1138
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1140
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1141
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1143
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1144
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1145
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1147
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1148
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1149
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1151
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1152
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1153
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1154
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1156
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1157
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1158
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1159
returned. (Robert Collins)
1161
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1162
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1164
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1165
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1166
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1167
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1170
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1171
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1175
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1176
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1178
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1179
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1180
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1181
makes this behavior available to other users.
1184
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1185
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1193
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1194
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1195
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1197
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1199
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1200
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1201
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1202
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1204
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1205
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1209
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1210
----------------------
1212
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1213
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1216
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1217
----------------------
1221
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1222
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1223
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1224
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1227
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1228
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1229
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1234
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1235
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1236
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1239
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1240
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1241
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1243
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1244
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1245
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1247
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1248
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1250
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1251
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1252
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1253
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1254
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1255
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1256
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1257
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1258
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1259
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1261
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1262
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1264
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1265
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1266
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1270
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1271
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1273
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1274
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1275
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1277
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1278
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1280
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1281
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1283
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1286
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1287
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1289
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1290
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1292
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1293
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1295
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1296
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1298
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1300
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1303
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1304
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1305
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1306
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1308
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1310
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1311
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1314
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1315
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1317
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1318
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1321
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1322
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1324
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1325
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1327
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1328
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1329
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1330
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1331
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1332
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1333
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1335
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1336
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1338
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1339
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1341
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1342
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1344
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1347
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1351
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1352
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1354
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1355
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1356
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1358
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1359
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1360
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1364
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1365
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1367
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1370
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1373
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1374
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1376
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1378
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1379
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1381
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1382
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1384
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1385
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1386
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1387
space). (Robert Collins)
1389
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1390
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1393
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1394
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1396
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1397
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1399
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1400
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1401
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1402
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1404
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1405
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1406
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1409
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1412
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1413
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1414
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1416
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1417
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1418
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1419
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1420
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1424
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1425
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1427
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1428
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1429
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1430
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1431
affected. (Robert Collins)
1433
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1434
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1435
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1438
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1439
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1443
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1444
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1446
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1447
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1449
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1450
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1452
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1455
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1456
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1460
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1461
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1462
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1463
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1465
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1466
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1468
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1469
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1470
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1471
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1473
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1474
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1475
present. (Robert Collins)
1477
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1478
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1479
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1480
API. (Robert Collins)
1482
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1483
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1486
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1487
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1489
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1490
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1491
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1492
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1493
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1494
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1496
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1497
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1498
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1500
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1501
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1502
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1503
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1506
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1509
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1510
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1511
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1512
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1513
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1514
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1515
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1517
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1518
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1519
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1520
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1522
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1523
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1524
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1525
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1526
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1527
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1529
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1530
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1531
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1533
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1534
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1542
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1543
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1544
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1545
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1546
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1547
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1548
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1549
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1554
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1555
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1556
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1559
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1560
----------------------
1564
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1565
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1566
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1567
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1568
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1570
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1571
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1573
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1577
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1578
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1581
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1582
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1585
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1588
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1589
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1591
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1592
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1594
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1595
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1597
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1598
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1600
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1601
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1603
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1608
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1609
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1611
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1612
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1614
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1615
the repository (Robert Collins)
1617
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1618
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1619
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1620
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1621
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1623
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1624
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1626
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1627
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1628
(John Arbash Meinel)
1630
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1631
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1632
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1634
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1635
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1636
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1637
(John Arbash Meinel)
1639
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1640
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1643
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1644
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1646
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1649
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1651
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1653
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1654
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1656
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1657
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1660
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1661
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1662
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1663
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1665
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1666
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1667
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1669
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1670
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1671
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1673
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1674
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1676
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1677
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1678
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1679
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1680
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1681
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1684
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1685
(Alexander Belchenko)
1687
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1688
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1690
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1691
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1693
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1695
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1696
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1700
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1701
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1702
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1703
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1705
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1707
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1710
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1711
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1712
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1713
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1714
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1715
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1719
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1720
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1721
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1722
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1724
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1725
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1726
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1727
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1728
tests have been refactored too.
1731
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1732
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1733
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1737
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1738
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1739
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1741
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1742
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1743
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1744
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1745
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1746
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1747
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1749
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1750
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1751
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1752
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1753
(John Arbash Meinel)
1755
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1756
functionality for testing.
1758
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1760
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1761
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1763
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1765
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1768
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1769
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1771
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1772
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1773
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1775
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1778
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1779
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1781
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1782
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1783
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1784
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1786
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1787
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1789
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1790
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1791
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1793
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1796
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1797
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1798
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1799
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1800
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1801
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1803
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1804
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1805
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1806
many files. (Robert Collins)
1808
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1809
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1810
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1811
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1815
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1816
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1817
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1819
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1820
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1822
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1823
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1824
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1828
--------------------
1832
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1835
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1836
-----------------------
1840
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1841
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1843
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1844
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1845
(James Westby, #122656)
1847
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1848
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1850
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1851
authentication header.
1852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1854
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1856
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1857
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1859
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1861
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1864
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1865
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1866
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1868
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1869
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1870
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1872
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1873
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1875
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1876
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1878
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1879
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1881
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1883
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1887
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1888
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1889
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1890
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1891
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1892
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1894
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1895
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1896
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1898
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1901
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1902
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1904
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1905
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1907
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1908
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1910
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1911
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1912
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1913
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1914
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1916
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1917
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1919
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1920
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1921
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1923
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1924
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1926
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1928
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1929
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1931
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1932
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1935
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1938
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1939
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1941
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1942
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1944
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1945
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1947
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1949
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1950
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1952
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1957
* Testing cleanups -
1958
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1959
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1960
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1961
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1962
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1963
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1964
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1965
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1966
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1967
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1968
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1969
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1970
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1971
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1972
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1973
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1974
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1977
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1979
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1980
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1981
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1983
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1984
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1986
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1987
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1989
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1991
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1992
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1993
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1994
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1995
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1996
same location. (Robert Collins)
2000
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2002
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2004
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2006
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2009
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2012
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2013
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2014
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2016
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2018
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2019
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2020
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2022
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2023
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2025
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2026
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2027
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2029
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2030
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2031
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2033
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2034
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2035
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2037
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2038
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2041
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2042
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2044
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2045
(Alexander Belchenko)
2049
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2050
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2051
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2052
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2054
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2055
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2056
testing. (Robert Collins)
2058
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2059
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2061
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2062
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2063
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2064
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2065
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2066
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2067
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2069
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2070
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2071
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2072
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2074
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2075
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2077
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2078
avoid useless cloning.
2079
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2083
--------------------
2087
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2088
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2090
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2091
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
2094
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
2095
-----------------------
2097
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2099
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2100
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2101
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2102
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2103
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2104
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2105
and unlock() like so::
2107
work_tree.lock_read()
2109
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2114
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2115
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2117
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2118
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2119
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2121
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2122
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2123
too. (Robert Collins)
2127
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2128
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2131
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2132
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2134
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2135
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2137
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2138
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2139
understanding what changes have occurred
2140
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2142
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2143
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2144
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2146
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2147
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2148
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2149
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2151
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2156
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2157
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2158
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2159
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2160
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2162
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2163
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2164
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2166
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2169
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2171
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2173
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2174
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2176
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2177
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2179
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2180
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2182
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2183
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2185
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2186
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2188
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2189
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2190
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2193
--------------------
2197
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2198
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2199
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2200
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2201
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2203
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2204
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2205
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2207
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2208
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2212
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2213
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2214
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2216
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2217
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2218
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2219
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2221
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2222
-----------------------
2226
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2227
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2228
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2229
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2231
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2232
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2233
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2235
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2236
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2238
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2239
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2241
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2242
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2244
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2245
-----------------------
2247
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2249
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2250
it could be recovered again.
2251
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2252
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2253
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2255
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2257
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2258
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2262
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2263
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2265
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2266
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2267
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2268
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2270
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2271
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2273
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2274
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2275
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2277
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2278
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2279
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2281
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2282
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2283
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2285
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2286
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2289
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2292
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2293
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2294
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2295
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2297
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2300
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2301
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2302
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2305
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2306
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2308
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2309
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2311
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2312
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2313
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2314
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2317
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2318
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2320
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2321
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2323
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2324
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2325
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2327
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2328
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2329
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2331
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2332
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2333
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2335
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2336
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2337
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2338
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2340
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2341
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2342
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2343
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2345
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2346
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2347
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2348
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2349
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2350
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2351
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2352
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2358
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2359
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2361
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2362
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2363
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2364
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2365
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2367
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2368
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2370
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2371
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2373
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2374
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2376
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2377
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2379
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2380
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2381
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2384
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2385
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2386
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2387
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2388
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2391
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2392
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2393
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2395
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2396
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2399
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2400
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2401
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2404
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2405
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2406
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2407
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2408
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2410
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2411
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2412
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2413
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2415
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2416
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2418
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2419
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2420
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2421
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2422
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2423
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2425
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2426
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2428
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2429
help. (Robert Collins)
2431
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2432
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2434
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2435
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2436
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2437
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2438
(John Arbash Meinel)
2440
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2441
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2442
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2443
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2444
useful. (Robert Collins)
2446
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2451
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2452
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2454
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2455
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2457
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2458
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2459
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2461
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2464
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2465
the file, and does it faster.
2466
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2468
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2469
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2470
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2472
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2473
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2474
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2475
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2477
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2478
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2479
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2480
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2482
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2483
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2485
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2486
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2487
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2488
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2491
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2493
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2494
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2496
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2497
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2499
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2500
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2501
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2502
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2506
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2511
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2512
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2513
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2515
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2516
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2518
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2519
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2520
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2521
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2522
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2523
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2524
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2525
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2527
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2528
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2529
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2531
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2532
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2533
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2534
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2535
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2537
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2539
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2540
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2541
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2543
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2544
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2552
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2555
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2556
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2559
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2560
-----------------------
2564
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2565
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2570
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2571
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2572
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2573
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2574
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2575
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2576
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2577
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2582
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2583
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2584
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2586
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2587
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2590
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2591
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2592
(John Arbash Meinel)
2594
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2595
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2596
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2597
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2598
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2602
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2605
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2606
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2608
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2609
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2611
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2612
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2613
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2615
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2616
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2618
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2619
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2620
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2621
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2622
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2624
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2625
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2626
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2628
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2631
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2632
-----------------------
2634
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2636
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2637
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2638
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2642
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2643
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2645
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2646
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2648
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2650
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2651
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2653
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2654
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2658
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2663
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2664
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2665
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2666
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2668
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2669
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2671
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2672
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2674
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2677
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2678
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2681
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2682
-----------------------
2686
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2687
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2688
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2689
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2690
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2691
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2693
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2694
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2695
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2696
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2697
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2698
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2700
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2702
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2703
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2704
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2705
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2706
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2707
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2708
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2709
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2713
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2714
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2716
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2717
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2718
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2719
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2721
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2722
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2723
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2724
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2725
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2727
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2730
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2733
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2736
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2737
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2740
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2743
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2744
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2746
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2747
directory. (Martin Pool)
2749
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2750
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2751
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2752
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2754
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2755
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2756
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2757
in docs/configuration.txt.
2759
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2760
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2763
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2764
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2765
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2766
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2767
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2768
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2770
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2771
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2773
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2774
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2776
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2781
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2782
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2783
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2784
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2785
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2786
(John Arbash Meinel)
2788
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2789
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2792
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2793
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2794
(John Arbash Meinel)
2796
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2797
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2798
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2799
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2800
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2801
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2803
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2804
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2805
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2807
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2808
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2809
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2810
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2812
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2814
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2815
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2816
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2817
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2819
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2820
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2821
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2822
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2824
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2825
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2826
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2828
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2829
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2830
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2832
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2833
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2834
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2835
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2837
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2838
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2839
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2841
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2842
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2843
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2845
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2846
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2847
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2848
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2849
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2850
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2851
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2852
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2853
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

2855
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2859
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2860
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2861
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2863
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2866
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2867
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2868
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2869
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2871
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2872
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2875
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2876
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2878
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2880
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2881
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2882
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2884
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2885
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2887
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2890
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2891
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2893
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2894
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2896
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2898
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2899
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2903
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2904
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2908
--------------------
2912
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2916
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2917
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2918
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2920
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2921
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2922
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2925
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2926
-----------------------
2930
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2931
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2932
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2933
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2935
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2938
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2939
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2940
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2942
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2943
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2945
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2948
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2949
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2950
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2951
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2952
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2953
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2955
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2956
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2957
should enable you to do::
2959
[/home/user/project]
2960
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2961
push_location:policy = appendpath
2963
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2964
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2967
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2968
for each file. For example::
2970
$ bzr status --short
2976
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2977
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2979
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2981
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2982
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2984
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2988
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2989
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2990
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2991
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2993
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2994
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2995
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2997
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2999
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3000
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3001
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3002
(Alexander Belchenko)
3004
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3007
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3008
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3010
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3014
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3015
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3017
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3018
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3019
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3020
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3021
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3023
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3024
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3026
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3027
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3029
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3031
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3033
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3034
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3035
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3036
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3037
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3039
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3040
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3041
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3042
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3044
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3045
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3047
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3048
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3050
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3051
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3053
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3054
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

--------------------
3060
No changes from 0.13rc1
3062
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3063
-----------------------
3067
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3069
(Daniel Silverstone)
3071
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3072
operations are substantially faster.
3073
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3075
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3076
tree from some other url. For example:
3077
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3078
(Daniel Silverstone)
3080
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3081
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3082
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3083
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3085
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3088
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3089
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3090
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3091
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3092
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3093
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3097
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3098
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3101
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3102
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3103
(John Arbash Meinel)
3105
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3106
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3107
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3108
(John Arbash Meinel)
3110
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3111
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3113
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3114
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3116
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3117
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3122
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3123
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3124
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3126
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3127
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3128
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3129
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3131
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3133
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3134
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3136
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3137
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3138
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3141
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3142
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3143
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3145
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3146
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3147
them as full references rather than integers.
3148
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3150
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3151
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3153
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3155
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3156
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3158
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3159
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3161
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3162
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3163
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3164
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3166
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3167
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3168
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3170
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3171
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3173
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3174
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3175
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3176
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3177
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3181
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3182
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3185
--------------------
3189
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3190
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3191
(John Arbash Meinel)
3193
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3194
-----------------------
3198
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3199
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3200
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3201
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3203
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3204
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3206
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3208
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3209
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3210
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3211
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3213
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3214
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3215
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3216
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3217
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3219
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3221
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3222
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3226
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3227
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3228
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3230
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3231
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3232
(John Arbash Meinel)
3234
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3235
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3236
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3238
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3239
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3242
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3243
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3244
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3246
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3247
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3248
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3249
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3250
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3251
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3253
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3254
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3255
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3258
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3259
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3263
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3264
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3265
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3268
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3269
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3271
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3272
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3273
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3275
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3276
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3278
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3279
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3280
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3281
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3283
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3284
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3286
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3287
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3288
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3290
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3291
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3293
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3295
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3296
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3301
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3302
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3303
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3304
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3306
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3307
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3308
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3311
--------------------
3313
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3315
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3316
-----------------------
3320
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3322
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3325
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3326
-----------------------
3330
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3331
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3332
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3333
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3334
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3335
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3336
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3338
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3339
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3340
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3342
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3344
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3345
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3347
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3348
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3349
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3352
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3353
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3354
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3355
(John Arbash Meinel)
3357
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3358
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3359
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3360
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3363
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3364
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3365
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3366
(John Arbash Meinel)
3370
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3371
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3373
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3375
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3376
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3377
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3379
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3380
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3382
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3383
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3385
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3386
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3388
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3389
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3391
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3393
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3394
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3396
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3397
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3399
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3400
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3402
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3403
(John Arbash Meinel)
3405
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3406
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3407
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3409
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3410
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3412
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3413
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3414
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3415
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3417
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3418
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3419
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3421
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3422
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3426
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3430
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3431
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3432
(John Arbash Meinel)
3434
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3435
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3436
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3437
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3439
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3442
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3443
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3444
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3446
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3447
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3449
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3450
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3451
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3453
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3454
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3455
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3456
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3457
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3458
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3459
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3460
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3461
caller to repeat their request.
3462
(John Arbash Meinel)
3464
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3465
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3467
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3468
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3470
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3471
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3472
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3473
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3474
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3475
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3476
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3478
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3479
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3480
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3481
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3482
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3483
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3484
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3485
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3488
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3489
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3490
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3492
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3493
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3495
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3496
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3498
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3499
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3503
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3504
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3506
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3507
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3508
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3510
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3511
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3512
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3515
--------------------
3518
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3519
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3521
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3522
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3523
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3524
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3525
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3527
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3528
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3529
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3531
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3532
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3534
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3535
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3536
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3540
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3542
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3543
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3544
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3546
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3548
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3550
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3551
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3552
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3553
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3555
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3556
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3557
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3558
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3559
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3561
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3562
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3564
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3565
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3567
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3568
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3570
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3571
in handling of revision properties.
3572
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3574
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3575
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3579
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3580
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3581
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3582
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3583
(John Arbash Meinel)
3585
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3586
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3587
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3589
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3590
---------------------
3594
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3595
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3596
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3597
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3598
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3599
a more conservative list than the old default.
3600
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3601
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3602
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3603
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3605
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3606
to more locations than just branch locations.
3611
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3612
revno:N:branch. For example,
3613
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3614
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3616
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3617
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3618
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3619
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3620
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3621
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3622
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3623
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3626
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3627
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3628
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3631
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3632
(Alexander Belchenko)
3634
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3636
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3639
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3640
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3641
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3642
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3643
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3644
(John Arbash Meinel)
3646
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3647
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3648
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3649
grained analysis of performance.
3650
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3652
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3653
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3655
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3656
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3657
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3658
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3659
file. (Robert Collins).
3661
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3662
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3663
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3665
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3666
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3669
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3670
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3672
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3673
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3674
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3675
the same way you would apply another branch.
3676
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3678
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3679
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3681
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3684
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3687
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3688
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3689
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3691
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3692
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3693
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3695
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3696
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3698
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3699
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3700
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3701
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3702
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3704
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3705
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3707
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3708
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3709
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3710
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3711
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3712
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3713
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3714
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3716
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3717
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3718
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3722
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3724
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3726
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3727
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3729
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3730
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3732
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3733
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3735
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3737
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3738
(John Arbash Meinel)
3740
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3741
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3743
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3744
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3747
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3748
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3750
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3751
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3753
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3754
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3755
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3756
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3758
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3759
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3761
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3763
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3764
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3766
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3768
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3770
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3771
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3773
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3774
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3776
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3777
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3778
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3780
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3781
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3782
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3784
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3785
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3787
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3788
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3790
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3791
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3793
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3794
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3796
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3797
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3799
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3800
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3801
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3803
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3805
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3806
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3810
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3811
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3812
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3814
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3815
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3817
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3818
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3819
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3821
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3822
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3824
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3825
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3828
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3829
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3830
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3832
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3833
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3834
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3836
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3837
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3838
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3840
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3841
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3842
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3844
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3845
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3846
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3848
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3849
instead. (Robert Collins)
3851
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3853
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3854
---------------------
3858
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3860
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3861
---------------------
3865
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3866
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3868
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3869
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3871
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3872
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3873
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3877
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3879
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3880
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3882
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3886
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3887
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3888
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3889
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3893
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3894
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3895
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3899
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3900
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3901
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3905
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3906
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3911
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3913
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3914
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3915
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3916
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3917
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3918
will keep the same format.
3920
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3921
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3922
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3923
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3924
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3926
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3927
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3928
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3929
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3930
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3931
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3932
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3934
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3935
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3936
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3937
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3938
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3940
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3941
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3942
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3948
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3949
convention. Paths now take the form::
3951
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3953
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3955
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3956
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3958
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3959
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3960
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3962
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3963
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3964
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3965
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3967
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3968
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3969
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3971
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3973
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3975
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3976
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3979
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3980
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3983
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3985
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3986
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3987
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3990
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3992
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3994
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3997
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3998
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4000
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4001
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4004
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4005
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4008
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4010
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4012
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4013
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4015
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4016
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4017
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4018
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4019
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4020
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4022
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4024
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4025
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4028
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4029
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4031
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4032
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4034
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4036
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4037
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4038
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4039
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4040
specification by Martin Pool.
4041
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4043
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4046
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4047
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4049
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4050
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4051
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4053
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4055
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4056
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4061
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4062
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4064
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4066
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4068
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4071
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4072
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4073
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4074
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4078
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4079
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4080
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4081
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4083
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4084
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4085
tried. (Martin Pool)
4087
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4090
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4092
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4093
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4094
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4096
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4097
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4099
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4100
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4101
paths. (Robert Collins)
4103
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4104
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4105
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4107
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4108
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4109
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4111
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4112
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4113
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4115
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4118
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4121
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4123
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4125
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4126
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4127
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4130
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4131
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4133
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4134
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4135
check. (Robert Collins)
4137
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4138
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4142
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4143
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4145
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4146
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4147
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4148
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4150
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4151
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4152
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4153
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4154
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4156
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4157
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4158
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4160
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4162
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4163
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4170
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4171
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4173
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4174
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4175
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4178
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4179
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4181
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4182
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4183
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4184
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4185
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4187
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4188
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4189
used. (Robert Collins)
4191
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4192
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4195
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4196
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4197
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4199
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4202
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4203
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4207
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4208
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4210
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4212
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4214
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4215
tree. (Robert Collins)
4217
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4218
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4219
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4222
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4225
* Tweaks to short log printing
4227
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4230
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4231
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4233
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4234
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4236
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4237
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4239
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4240
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4241
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4243
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4244
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4246
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4247
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4250
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4251
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4253
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4254
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4256
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4257
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4259
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4262
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4263
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4265
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4266
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4268
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4269
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4270
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4274
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4276
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4278
* Error when run with -OO
4280
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4283
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4285
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4287
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4288
ignored by diff and status
4290
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4291
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4293
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4295
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4297
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4298
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4300
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4301
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4303
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4306
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4307
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4309
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4311
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4312
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4314
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4317
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4318
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4320
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4324
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4325
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4327
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4329
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4331
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4333
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4334
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4335
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4337
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4339
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4340
(John Arbash Meinel)
4342
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4344
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4345
If adding a new test script please add that to
4346
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4348
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4349
imported. (Martin Pool)
4351
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4352
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4353
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4354
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4355
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4358
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4359
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4360
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4362
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4363
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4364
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4366
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4367
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4368
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4369
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4370
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4373
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4374
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4379
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4380
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4382
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4383
function. (Robert Collins)
4385
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4386
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4387
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4389
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4390
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4393
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4394
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4395
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4396
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4397
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4398
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4399
version. (Robert Collins)
4401
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4402
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4404
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4405
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4406
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4407
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4408
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4409
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4411
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4414
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4424
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4426
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4428
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4431
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4432
query method. (Robert Collins)
4434
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4437
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4440
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4443
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4444
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4445
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4446
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4448
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4449
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4450
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4451
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4453
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4454
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4461
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4464
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4468
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4469
a separator, not ':'.
4472
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4473
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4474
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4476
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4477
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4480
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4481
has been added that suppresses all output.
4483
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4486
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4487
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4489
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4490
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4492
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4493
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4495
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4496
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4497
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4498
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4500
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4502
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4503
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4505
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4506
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4508
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4509
output directory, if one was supplied.
4511
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4512
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4513
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4514
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4516
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4518
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4519
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4521
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4522
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4523
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4525
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4526
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4528
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4531
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4533
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4537
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4538
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4539
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4541
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4542
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4543
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4545
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4546
is given. (Martin Pool)
4548
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4549
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4550
file. (Robert Collins)
4552
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4557
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4558
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4559
representation. (Martin Pool).
4561
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4562
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4563
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4565
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4568
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4569
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4572
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4573
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4574
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4575
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4576
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4578
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4579
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4580
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4581
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4582
python path. (Robert Collins)
4584
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4585
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4586
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4587
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4589
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4590
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4592
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4593
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4596
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4597
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4598
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4600
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4601
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4602
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4604
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4605
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4607
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4608
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4609
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4612
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4613
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4614
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4615
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4618
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4621
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4622
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4625
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4626
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4627
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4629
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4630
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4631
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4633
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4634
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4635
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4637
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4638
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4640
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4641
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4642
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4643
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4644
caller. (Robert Collins)
4646
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4647
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4650
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4651
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4654
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4656
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4657
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4661
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4662
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4664
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4665
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4668
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4669
--------------------
4673
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4674
allow directories to be listed.
4676
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4677
upgrading branch format.
4681
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4689
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4690
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4691
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4692
high-latency connections.
4696
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4699
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4700
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4702
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4703
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4704
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4705
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4707
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4708
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4710
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4711
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4713
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4714
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4715
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4717
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4718
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4719
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4722
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4723
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4725
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4726
different partial views of history.
4728
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4729
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4733
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4734
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4735
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4737
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4738
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4741
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4742
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4744
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4747
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4748
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4750
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4751
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4752
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4753
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4755
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4757
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4758
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4761
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4762
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4764
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4765
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4766
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4771
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4772
for your viewing pleasure.
4774
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4775
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4777
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4778
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4779
handling of such circumstances.
4781
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4782
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4783
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4785
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4787
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4788
we call them revisions not patches.
4790
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4791
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4793
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4794
giving the revision *of that file*.
4796
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4797
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4798
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4802
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4803
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4805
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4806
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4809
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4810
--------------------
4814
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4816
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4819
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4821
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4823
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4824
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4828
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4829
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4831
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4832
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4833
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4834
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4837
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4838
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4842
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4844
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4845
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4848
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4849
--------------------
4853
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4854
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4855
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4856
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4859
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4862
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4863
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4864
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4865
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4866
for the operating system is still tried.
4868
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4869
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4870
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4875
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4879
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4881
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4884
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4890
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4892
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4895
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4896
--------------------
4900
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4901
help with intelligent shell completion.
4903
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4908
* Much better merge support.
4910
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4911
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4917
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4918
mention revisions that are not present.
4920
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4922
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4924
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4925
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4930
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4932
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4933
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4939
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4940
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4945
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4946
--------------------
4950
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4951
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4953
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4955
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4956
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4958
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4961
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4963
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4966
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4967
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4969
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4970
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4971
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4976
* Faster working tree operations.
4981
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4982
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4983
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4984
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4986
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4987
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4988
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4989
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4990
standard plugins directory.
4992
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4993
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4994
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4995
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4997
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4998
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5000
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5003
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5004
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5005
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5007
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5008
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5010
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5011
line options must come before the command name because they
5012
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5013
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5016
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5018
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5019
is available with ``--short``.
5024
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5027
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5028
---------------------
5032
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5033
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5035
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5036
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5037
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5038
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5040
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5041
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5042
with the ``--forward`` option.
5044
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5045
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5051
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5052
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5054
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5056
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5057
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5059
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5061
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5062
either read or write mode.
5064
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5066
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5069
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5071
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5072
suggested by LarstiQ.
5074
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5075
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5077
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5080
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5081
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5083
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5084
haven't changed since the previous time.
5086
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5087
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5089
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5091
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5093
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5094
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5096
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5097
options through to an external GNU diff.
5099
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5102
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5108
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5109
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5111
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5117
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5118
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5121
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5122
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5124
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5125
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5127
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5128
under a different version.
5130
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5135
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5137
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5138
Scott James Remnant.
5140
* Better help messages for many commands.
5142
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5143
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5145
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5146
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5148
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5150
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5152
* New AtomicFile class.
5154
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5159
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5160
2.4 is now only recommended.
5163
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5164
---------------------
5168
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5169
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5171
* More default ignore patterns.
5173
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5174
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5176
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5178
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5181
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5186
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5187
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5188
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5189
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5190
there are DNS problems.
5192
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5197
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5199
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5201
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5202
trailing newlines properly.
