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.
32
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
36
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
37
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
43
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
44
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
46
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
47
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
49
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
51
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
52
symlinks (James Henstridge)
54
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.1, which properly quotes #
55
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
59
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
60
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
65
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
66
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
71
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
72
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
73
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
76
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
77
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
78
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
79
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
81
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
82
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
83
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
86
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
87
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
88
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
89
format. (Robert Collins)
97
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
100
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
101
---------------------
103
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
105
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
106
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
107
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
108
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
109
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
114
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
115
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
117
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
118
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
119
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
121
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
122
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
123
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
124
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
125
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
126
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
131
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
132
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
134
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
135
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
136
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
139
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
140
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
141
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
142
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
143
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
145
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
146
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
147
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
148
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
149
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
150
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
151
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
152
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
156
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
157
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
159
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
160
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
162
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
163
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
165
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
166
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
167
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
169
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
170
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
175
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
176
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
178
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
179
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
181
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
182
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
184
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
185
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
186
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
188
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
189
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
190
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
192
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
193
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
195
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
196
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
197
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
198
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
199
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
201
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
203
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
204
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
207
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
208
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
210
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
211
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
213
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
214
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
216
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
217
more characters which should be considered valid.
218
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
220
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
221
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
223
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
224
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
228
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
229
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
231
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
232
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
237
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
238
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
243
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
244
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
245
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
247
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
248
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
249
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
251
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
252
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
253
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
254
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
256
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
258
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
259
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
260
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
261
server. (Robert Collins)
263
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
264
operate. (Robert Collins)
266
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
267
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
268
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
270
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
271
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
272
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
273
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
275
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
276
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
278
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
279
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
280
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
282
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
283
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
285
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
286
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
288
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
289
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
290
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
291
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
297
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
299
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
300
---------------------
304
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
305
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
306
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
307
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
309
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
310
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
311
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
312
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
316
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
319
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
322
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
323
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
327
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
330
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
331
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
332
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
334
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
336
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
337
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
338
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
339
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
340
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
342
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
343
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
344
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
346
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
347
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
349
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
352
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
354
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
356
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
359
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
360
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
364
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
365
(Martin Pool, #180208)
367
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
370
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
373
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
374
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
376
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
377
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
379
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
380
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
382
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
383
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
385
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
386
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
387
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
389
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
392
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
393
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
396
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
398
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
399
user:pass embedded in the urls.
400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
402
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
403
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
405
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
408
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
411
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
412
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
414
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
417
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
418
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
421
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
422
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
427
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
430
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
431
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
432
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
433
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
434
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
435
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
437
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
441
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
444
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
445
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
447
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
449
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
450
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
451
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
454
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
455
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
457
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
464
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
465
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
466
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
468
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
469
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
472
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
473
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
475
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
476
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
478
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
479
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
481
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
482
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
483
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
485
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
486
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
488
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
489
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
491
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
492
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
495
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
496
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
498
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
499
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
507
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
509
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
512
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
514
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
515
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
519
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
520
---------------------
524
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
525
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
526
by mail to the mailing list.
531
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
533
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
534
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
535
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
536
feedback but also incur more latency.
537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
539
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
540
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
544
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
546
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
551
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
552
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
553
wraps its output in a StringIO.
557
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
558
---------------------
562
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
564
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
567
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
570
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
571
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
572
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
573
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
575
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
578
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
579
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
581
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
582
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
583
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
585
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
586
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
587
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
588
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
589
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
590
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
591
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
592
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
593
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
597
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
600
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
604
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
605
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
607
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
609
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
611
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
612
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
616
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
617
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
619
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
620
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
624
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
625
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
628
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
629
---------------------
631
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
633
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
634
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
635
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
636
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
638
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
639
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
641
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
642
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
644
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
645
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
646
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
647
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
648
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
649
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
650
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
651
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
652
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
653
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
654
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
655
from any tree without problems.
656
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
660
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
661
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
662
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
664
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
665
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
666
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
671
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
672
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
673
supported transports.
676
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
677
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
678
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
680
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
681
(Robert Collins, #154173)
683
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
684
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
685
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
686
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
688
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
689
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
693
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
694
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
695
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
696
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
698
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
699
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
700
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
701
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
703
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
704
(Robert Collins, #88319)
706
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
707
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
709
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
710
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
712
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
713
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
718
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
721
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
722
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
725
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
726
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
727
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
728
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
730
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
731
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
732
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
733
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
739
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
740
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
742
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
743
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
745
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
746
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
748
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
751
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
752
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
754
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
755
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
757
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
760
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
763
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
766
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
767
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
770
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
771
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
773
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
774
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
776
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
777
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
779
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
782
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
783
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
784
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
785
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
787
(Martin Pool, #164637)
789
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
790
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
793
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
794
(Robert Collins, #161240)
796
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
798
(Martin Pool, #164443)
800
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
801
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
803
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
804
specify a port in urls.
805
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
807
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
808
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
810
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
811
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
813
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
814
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
816
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
817
(Robert Collins, #153789)
819
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
820
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
821
(Robert Collins, #165304).
823
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
825
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
826
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
828
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
831
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
832
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
834
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
835
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
837
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
838
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
839
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
841
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
842
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
844
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
845
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
846
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
847
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
849
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
850
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
852
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
853
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
854
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
856
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
857
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
859
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
860
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
862
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
867
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
868
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
870
* The return value of
871
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
872
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
873
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
874
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
876
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
879
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
880
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
886
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
887
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
888
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
891
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
892
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
894
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
904
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
907
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
908
----------------------
910
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
914
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
915
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
917
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
918
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
919
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
920
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
921
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
922
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
923
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
924
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
925
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
926
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
927
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
928
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
933
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
934
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
935
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
936
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
937
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
938
for further details. (Robert Collins)
940
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
941
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
942
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
945
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
947
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
948
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
950
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
951
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
954
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
955
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
956
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
960
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
961
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
963
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
964
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
966
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
967
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
968
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
969
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
971
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
974
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
975
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
976
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
977
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
979
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
980
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
982
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
983
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
985
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
986
the contents. (Robert Collins)
988
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
989
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
993
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
994
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
996
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
997
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
999
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1000
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1002
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1003
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1005
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1006
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1010
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1012
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1017
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1018
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1019
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1021
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1022
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1024
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1025
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1027
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1028
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1029
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1030
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1032
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1033
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1034
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1035
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1036
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1038
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1039
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1041
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1043
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1045
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1046
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1048
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1051
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1052
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1054
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1055
contains a symbolic link.
1056
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1058
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1059
(James Westby, #140615)
1061
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1062
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1065
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1066
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1067
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1069
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1071
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1074
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1078
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1079
directory to detect leaking tests.
1080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1082
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1083
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1084
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1086
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1089
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1090
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1092
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1097
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1098
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1100
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1101
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1102
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1104
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1105
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1106
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1108
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1109
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1111
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1112
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1114
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1115
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1118
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1119
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1121
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1122
class that needs it.
1125
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1126
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1128
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1129
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1130
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1132
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1133
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1134
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1137
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1138
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1139
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1140
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1145
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1146
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1147
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1149
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1150
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1151
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1152
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1154
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1155
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1158
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1159
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1160
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1162
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1163
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1164
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1166
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1167
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1169
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1170
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1171
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1173
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1174
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1176
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1177
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1178
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1180
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1181
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1182
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1184
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1185
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1186
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1187
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1189
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1190
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1191
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1192
returned. (Robert Collins)
1194
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1195
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1197
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1198
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1199
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1200
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1203
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1204
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1208
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1209
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1211
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1212
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1213
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1214
makes this behavior available to other users.
1217
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1218
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1226
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1227
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1228
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1230
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1232
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1233
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1234
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1235
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1237
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1238
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1242
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1243
----------------------
1245
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1246
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1249
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1250
----------------------
1254
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1255
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1256
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1257
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1260
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1261
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1262
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1267
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1268
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1269
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1272
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1273
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1274
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1276
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1277
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1278
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1280
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1281
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1283
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1284
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1285
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1286
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1287
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1288
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1289
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1290
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1291
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1292
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1294
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1295
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1297
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1298
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1299
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1303
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1304
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1306
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1307
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1308
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1310
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1311
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1313
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1314
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1316
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1319
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1320
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1322
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1323
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1325
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1326
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1328
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1329
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1331
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1333
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1336
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1337
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1338
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1339
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1341
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1343
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1344
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1347
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1348
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1350
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1351
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1354
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1355
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1357
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1358
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1360
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1361
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1362
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1363
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1364
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1365
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1366
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1368
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1369
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1371
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1372
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1374
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1375
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1377
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1378
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1380
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1382
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1384
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1385
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1387
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1388
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1389
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1391
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1392
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1393
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1397
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1398
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1400
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1403
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1406
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1407
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1409
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1411
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1412
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1414
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1415
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1417
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1418
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1419
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1420
space). (Robert Collins)
1422
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1423
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1426
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1427
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1429
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1430
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1432
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1433
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1434
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1435
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1437
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1438
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1439
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1442
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1445
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1446
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1447
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1449
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1450
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1451
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1452
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1453
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1457
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1458
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1460
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1461
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1462
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1463
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1464
affected. (Robert Collins)
1466
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1467
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1468
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1471
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1472
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1476
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1477
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1479
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1480
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1482
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1483
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1485
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1488
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1489
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1493
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1494
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1495
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1496
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1498
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1499
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1501
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1502
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1503
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1504
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1506
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1507
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1508
present. (Robert Collins)
1510
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1511
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1512
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1513
API. (Robert Collins)
1515
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1516
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1519
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1520
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1522
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1523
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1524
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1525
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1526
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1527
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1529
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1530
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1531
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1533
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1534
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1535
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1536
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1539
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1542
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1543
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1544
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1545
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1546
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1547
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1548
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1550
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1551
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1552
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1553
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1555
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1556
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1557
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1558
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1559
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1560
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1562
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1563
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1564
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1566
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1567
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1575
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1576
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1577
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1578
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1579
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1580
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1581
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1582
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1587
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1588
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1589
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1592
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1593
----------------------
1597
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1598
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1599
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1600
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1601
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1603
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1606
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1610
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1611
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1614
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1615
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1618
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1621
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1622
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1624
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1625
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1627
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1628
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1630
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1631
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1633
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1634
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1636
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1641
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1642
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1644
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1645
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1647
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1648
the repository (Robert Collins)
1650
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1651
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1652
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1653
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1654
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1656
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1657
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1659
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1660
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1661
(John Arbash Meinel)
1663
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1664
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1665
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1667
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1668
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1669
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1670
(John Arbash Meinel)
1672
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1673
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1676
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1677
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1679
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1682
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1684
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1686
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1687
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1689
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1690
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1693
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1694
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1695
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1696
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1698
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1699
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1700
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1702
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1703
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1704
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1706
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1707
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1709
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1710
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1711
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1712
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1713
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1714
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1717
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1718
(Alexander Belchenko)
1720
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1721
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1723
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1724
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1726
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1728
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1729
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1733
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1734
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1735
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1736
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1738
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1740
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1743
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1744
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1745
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1746
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1747
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1748
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1752
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1753
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1754
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1755
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1757
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1758
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1759
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1760
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1761
tests have been refactored too.
1764
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1765
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1766
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1770
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1771
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1772
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1774
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1775
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1776
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1777
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1778
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1779
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1780
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1782
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1783
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1784
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1785
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1786
(John Arbash Meinel)
1788
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1789
functionality for testing.
1791
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1793
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1794
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1796
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1798
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1801
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1802
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1804
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1805
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1806
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1808
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1811
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1812
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1814
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1815
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1816
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1817
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1819
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1820
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1822
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1823
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1824
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1826
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1829
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1830
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1831
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1832
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1833
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1834
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1836
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1837
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1838
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1839
many files. (Robert Collins)
1841
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1842
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1843
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1844
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1848
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1849
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1850
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1852
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1853
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1855
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1856
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1857
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1861
--------------------
1865
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1868
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1869
-----------------------
1873
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1874
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1876
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1877
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1878
(James Westby, #122656)
1880
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1881
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1883
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1884
authentication header.
1885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1887
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1889
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1890
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1892
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1894
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1895
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1897
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1898
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1899
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1901
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1902
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1903
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1905
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1906
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1908
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1909
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1911
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1912
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1914
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1916
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1920
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1921
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1922
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1923
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1924
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1925
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1927
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1928
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1929
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1931
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1934
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1935
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1937
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1938
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1940
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1941
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1943
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1944
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1945
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1946
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1947
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1949
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1950
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1952
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1953
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1954
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1956
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1957
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1959
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1961
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1962
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1964
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1965
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1968
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1971
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1972
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1974
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1975
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1977
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1978
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1980
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1982
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1983
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1985
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1990
* Testing cleanups -
1991
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1992
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1993
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1994
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1995
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1996
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1997
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1998
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1999
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2000
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2001
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2002
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2003
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2004
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2005
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2006
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2007
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2010
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2012
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2013
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2014
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2016
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2017
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2019
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2020
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2022
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2024
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2025
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2026
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2027
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2028
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2029
same location. (Robert Collins)
2033
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2035
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2037
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2039
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2042
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2045
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2046
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2047
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2049
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2051
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2052
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2053
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2055
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2056
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2058
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2059
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2060
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2062
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2063
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2064
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2066
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2067
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2068
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2070
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2071
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2074
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2075
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2077
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2078
(Alexander Belchenko)
2082
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2083
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2084
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2085
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2087
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2088
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2089
testing. (Robert Collins)
2091
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2092
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2094
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2095
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2096
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2097
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2098
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2099
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2100
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2102
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2103
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2104
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2105
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2107
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2108
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2110
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2111
avoid useless cloning.
2112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2116
--------------------
2120
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2121
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2123
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2124
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
2127
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
2128
-----------------------
2130
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2132
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2133
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2134
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2135
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2136
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2137
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2138
and unlock() like so::
2140
work_tree.lock_read()
2142
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2147
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2148
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2150
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2151
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2152
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2154
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2155
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2156
too. (Robert Collins)
2160
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2161
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2164
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2165
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2167
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2168
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2170
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2171
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2172
understanding what changes have occurred
2173
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2175
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2176
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2177
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2179
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2180
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2181
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2182
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2184
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2189
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2190
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2191
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2192
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2193
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2195
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2196
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2197
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2199
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2200
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2202
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2204
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2206
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2207
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2209
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2210
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2212
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2213
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2215
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2216
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2218
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2219
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2221
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2222
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2223
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2226
--------------------
2230
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2231
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2232
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2233
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2234
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2236
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2237
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2238
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2240
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2241
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2245
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2246
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2247
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2249
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2250
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2251
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2252
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2254
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2255
-----------------------
2259
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2260
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2261
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2262
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2264
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2265
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2266
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2268
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2269
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2271
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2272
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2274
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2275
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2277
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2278
-----------------------
2280
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2282
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2283
it could be recovered again.
2284
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2285
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2286
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2288
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2290
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2291
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2295
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2296
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2298
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2299
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2300
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2301
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2303
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2304
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2306
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2307
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2308
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2310
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2311
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2312
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2314
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2315
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2316
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2318
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2319
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2322
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2325
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2326
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2327
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2328
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2330
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2333
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2334
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2335
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2338
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2339
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2341
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2342
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2344
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2345
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2346
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2347
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2350
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2351
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2353
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2354
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2356
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2357
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2358
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2360
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2361
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2362
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2364
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2365
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2366
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2368
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2369
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2370
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2371
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2373
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2374
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2375
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2376
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2378
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2379
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2380
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2381
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2382
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2383
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2384
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2385
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2391
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2392
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2394
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2395
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2396
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2397
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2398
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2400
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2401
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2403
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2404
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2406
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2407
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2409
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2410
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2412
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2413
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2414
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2417
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2418
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2419
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2420
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2421
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2424
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2425
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2426
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2428
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2429
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2432
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2433
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2434
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2437
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2438
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2439
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2440
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2441
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2443
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2444
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2445
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2446
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2448
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2449
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2451
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2452
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2453
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2454
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2455
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2456
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2458
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2459
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2461
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2462
help. (Robert Collins)
2464
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2465
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2467
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2468
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2469
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2470
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2471
(John Arbash Meinel)
2473
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2474
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2475
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2476
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2477
useful. (Robert Collins)
2479
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2484
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2485
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2487
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2488
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2490
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2491
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2492
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2494
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2497
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2498
the file, and does it faster.
2499
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2501
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2502
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2503
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2505
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2506
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2507
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2508
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2510
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2511
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2512
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2513
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2515
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2516
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2518
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2519
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2520
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2521
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2524
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2526
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2527
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2529
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2530
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2532
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2533
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2534
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2535
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2539
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2544
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2545
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2546
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2548
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2549
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2551
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2552
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2553
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2554
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2555
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2556
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2557
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2558
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2560
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2561
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2562
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2564
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2565
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2566
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2567
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2568
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2570
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2572
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2573
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2574
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2576
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2577
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2585
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2588
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2589
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2592
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2593
-----------------------
2597
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2598
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2603
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2604
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2605
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2606
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2607
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2608
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2609
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2610
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2615
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2616
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2617
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2619
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2620
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2623
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2624
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2625
(John Arbash Meinel)
2627
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2628
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2629
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2630
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2631
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2635
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2638
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2639
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2641
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2642
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2644
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2645
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2646
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2648
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2649
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2651
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2652
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2653
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2654
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2655
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2657
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2658
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2659
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2661
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2664
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2665
-----------------------
2667
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2669
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2670
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2671
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2675
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2676
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2678
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2679
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2681
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2683
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2684
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2686
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2687
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2691
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2696
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2697
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2698
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2699
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2701
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2702
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2704
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2705
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2707
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2710
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2711
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2714
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2715
-----------------------
2719
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2720
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2721
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2722
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2723
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2724
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2726
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2727
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2728
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2729
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2730
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2731
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2733
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2735
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2736
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2737
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2738
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2739
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2740
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2741
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2742
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2746
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2747
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2749
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2750
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2751
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2752
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2754
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2755
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2756
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2757
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2758
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2760
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2763
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2766
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2769
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2770
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2773
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2776
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2777
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2779
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2780
directory. (Martin Pool)
2782
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2783
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2784
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2785
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2787
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2788
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2789
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2790
in docs/configuration.txt.
2792
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2793
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2796
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2797
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2798
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2799
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2800
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2801
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2803
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2804
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2806
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2807
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2809
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2814
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2815
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2816
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2817
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2818
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2819
(John Arbash Meinel)
2821
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2822
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2825
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2826
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2827
(John Arbash Meinel)
2829
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2830
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2831
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2832
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2833
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2834
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2836
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2837
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2838
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2840
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2841
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2842
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2843
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2845
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2847
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2848
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2849
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2850
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2852
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2853
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2854
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2855
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2857
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2858
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2859
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2861
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2862
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2863
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2865
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2866
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2867
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2868
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2870
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2871
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2872
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2874
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2875
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2876
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2878
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2879
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2880
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2881
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2882
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2883
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2884
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2885
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2886
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2887
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2888
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2892
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2893
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2894
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2896
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2899
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2900
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2901
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2902
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2904
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2905
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2908
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2909
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2911
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2913
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2914
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2915
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2917
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2918
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2920
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2923
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2926
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2927
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2929
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2931
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2932
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2936
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2937
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2941
--------------------
2945
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2949
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2950
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2951
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2953
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2954
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2955
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2958
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2959
-----------------------
2963
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2964
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2965
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2966
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2968
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2971
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2972
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2973
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2975
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2976
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2978
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2981
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2982
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2983
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2984
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2985
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2986
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2988
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2989
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2990
should enable you to do::
2992
[/home/user/project]
2993
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2994
push_location:policy = appendpath
2996
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2997
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3000
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3001
for each file. For example::
3003
$ bzr status --short
3009
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3010
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3012
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3014
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3015
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3017
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3021
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3022
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3023
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3024
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3026
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3027
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3028
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3030
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3032
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3033
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3034
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3035
(Alexander Belchenko)
3037
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3040
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3041
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3043
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3047
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3048
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3050
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3051
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3052
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3053
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3054
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3056
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3057
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3059
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3060
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3062
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3064
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3066
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3067
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3068
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3069
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3070
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3072
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3073
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3074
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3075
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3077
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3078
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3080
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3081
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3083
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3084
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3086
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3087
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
3091
--------------------
3093
No changes from 0.13rc1
3095
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3096
-----------------------
3100
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3102
(Daniel Silverstone)
3104
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3105
operations are substantially faster.
3106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3108
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3109
tree from some other url. For example:
3110
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3111
(Daniel Silverstone)
3113
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3114
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3115
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3116
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3118
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3121
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3122
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3123
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3124
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3125
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3126
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3130
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3131
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3134
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3135
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3136
(John Arbash Meinel)
3138
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3139
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3140
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3141
(John Arbash Meinel)
3143
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3144
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3146
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3147
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3149
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3150
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3155
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3156
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3157
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3159
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3160
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3161
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3162
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3164
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3166
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3167
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3169
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3170
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3171
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3174
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3175
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3176
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3178
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3179
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3180
them as full references rather than integers.
3181
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3183
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3184
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3186
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3188
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3189
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3191
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3192
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3194
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3195
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3196
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3197
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3199
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3200
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3201
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3203
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3204
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3206
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3207
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3208
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3209
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3210
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3214
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3215
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3218
--------------------
3222
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3223
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3224
(John Arbash Meinel)
3226
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3227
-----------------------
3231
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3232
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3233
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3234
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3236
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3237
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3239
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3241
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3242
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3243
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3244
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3246
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3247
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3248
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3249
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3250
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3252
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3254
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3255
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3259
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3260
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3261
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3263
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3264
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3265
(John Arbash Meinel)
3267
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3268
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3269
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3271
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3272
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3275
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3276
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3277
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3279
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3280
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3281
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3282
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3283
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3284
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3286
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3287
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3288
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3291
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3292
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3296
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3297
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3298
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3301
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3302
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3304
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3305
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3306
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3308
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3309
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3311
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3312
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3313
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3314
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3316
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3317
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3319
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3320
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3321
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3323
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3324
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3326
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3328
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3329
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3334
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3335
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3336
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3337
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3339
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3340
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3341
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3344
--------------------
3346
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3348
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3349
-----------------------
3353
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3355
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3358
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3359
-----------------------
3363
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3364
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3365
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3366
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3367
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3368
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3369
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3371
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3372
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3373
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3375
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3377
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3378
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3380
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3381
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3382
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3385
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3386
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3387
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3388
(John Arbash Meinel)
3390
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3391
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3392
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3393
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3396
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3397
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3398
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3399
(John Arbash Meinel)
3403
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3404
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3406
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3408
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3409
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3410
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3412
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3413
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3415
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3416
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3418
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3419
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3421
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3422
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3424
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3426
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3427
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3429
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3430
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3432
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3433
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3435
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3436
(John Arbash Meinel)
3438
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3439
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3440
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3442
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3443
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3445
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3446
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3447
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3448
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3450
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3451
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3452
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3454
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3455
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3459
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3463
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3464
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3465
(John Arbash Meinel)
3467
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3468
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3469
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3470
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3472
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3475
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3476
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3477
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3479
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3480
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3482
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3483
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3484
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3486
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3487
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3488
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3489
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3490
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3491
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3492
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3493
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3494
caller to repeat their request.
3495
(John Arbash Meinel)
3497
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3498
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3500
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3501
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3503
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3504
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3505
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3506
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3507
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3508
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3509
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3511
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3512
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3513
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3514
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3515
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3516
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3517
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3518
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3521
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3522
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3523
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3525
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3526
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3528
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3529
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3531
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3532
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3536
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3537
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3539
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3540
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3541
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3543
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3544
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3545
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3548
--------------------
3551
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3552
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3554
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3555
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3556
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3557
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3558
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3560
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3561
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3562
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3564
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3565
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3567
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3568
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3569
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3573
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3575
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3576
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3577
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3579
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3581
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3583
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3584
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3585
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3586
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3588
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3589
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3590
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3591
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3592
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3594
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3595
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3597
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3598
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3600
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3601
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3603
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3604
in handling of revision properties.
3605
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3607
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3608
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3612
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3613
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3614
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3615
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3616
(John Arbash Meinel)
3618
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3619
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3620
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3622
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3623
---------------------
3627
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3628
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3629
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3630
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3631
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3632
a more conservative list than the old default.
3633
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3634
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3635
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3636
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3638
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3639
to more locations than just branch locations.
3644
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3645
revno:N:branch. For example,
3646
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3647
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3649
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3650
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3651
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3652
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3653
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3654
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3655
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3656
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3659
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3660
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3661
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3664
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3665
(Alexander Belchenko)
3667
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3669
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3672
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3673
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3674
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3675
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3676
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3677
(John Arbash Meinel)
3679
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3680
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3681
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3682
grained analysis of performance.
3683
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3685
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3686
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3688
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3689
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3690
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3691
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3692
file. (Robert Collins).
3694
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3695
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3696
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3698
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3699
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3702
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3703
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3705
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3706
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3707
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3708
the same way you would apply another branch.
3709
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3711
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3712
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3714
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3717
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3720
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3721
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3722
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3724
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3725
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3726
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3728
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3729
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3731
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3732
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3733
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3734
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3735
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3737
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3738
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3740
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3741
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3742
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3743
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3744
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3745
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3746
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3747
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3749
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3750
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3751
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3755
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3757
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3759
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3760
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3762
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3763
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3765
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3766
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3768
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3770
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3771
(John Arbash Meinel)
3773
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3774
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3776
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3777
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3780
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3781
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3783
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3784
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3786
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3787
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3788
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3789
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3791
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3792
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3794
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3796
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3797
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3799
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3801
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3803
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3804
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3806
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3807
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3809
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3810
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3811
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3813
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3814
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3815
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3817
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3818
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3820
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3821
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3823
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3824
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3826
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3827
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3829
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3830
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3832
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3833
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3834
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3836
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3838
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3839
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3843
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3844
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3845
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3847
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3848
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3850
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3851
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3852
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3854
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3855
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3857
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3858
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3861
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3862
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3863
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3865
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3866
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3867
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3869
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3870
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3871
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3873
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3874
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3875
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3877
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3878
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3879
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3881
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3882
instead. (Robert Collins)
3884
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3886
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3887
---------------------
3891
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3893
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3894
---------------------
3898
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3899
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3901
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3902
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3904
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3905
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3906
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3910
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3912
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3913
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3915
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3919
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3920
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3921
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3922
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3926
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3927
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3928
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3932
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3933
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3934
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3938
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3939
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3944
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3946
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3947
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3948
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3949
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3950
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3951
will keep the same format.
3953
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3954
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3955
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3956
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3957
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3959
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3960
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3961
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3962
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3963
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3964
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3965
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3967
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3968
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3969
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3970
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3971
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3973
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3974
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3975
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3981
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3982
convention. Paths now take the form::
3984
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3986
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3988
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3989
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3991
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3992
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3993
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3995
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3996
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3997
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3998
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4000
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4001
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4002
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4004
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4006
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4008
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4009
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4012
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4013
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4016
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4018
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4019
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4020
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4023
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4025
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4027
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4030
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4031
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4033
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4034
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4037
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4038
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4041
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4043
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4045
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4046
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4048
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4049
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4050
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4051
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4052
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4053
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4055
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4057
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4058
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4061
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4062
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4064
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4065
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4067
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4069
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4070
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4071
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4072
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4073
specification by Martin Pool.
4074
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4076
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4079
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4080
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4082
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4083
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4084
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4086
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4088
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4089
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4094
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4095
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4097
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4099
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4101
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4104
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4105
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4106
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4107
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4111
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4112
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4113
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4114
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4116
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4117
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4118
tried. (Martin Pool)
4120
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4123
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4125
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4126
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4127
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4129
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4130
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4132
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4133
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4134
paths. (Robert Collins)
4136
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4137
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4138
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4140
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4141
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4142
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4144
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4145
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4146
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4148
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4151
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4154
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4156
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4158
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4159
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4160
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4163
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4164
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4166
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4167
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4168
check. (Robert Collins)
4170
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4171
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4175
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4176
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4178
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4179
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4180
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4181
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4183
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4184
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4185
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4186
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4187
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4189
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4190
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4191
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4193
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4195
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4196
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4203
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4204
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4206
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4207
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4208
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4211
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4212
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4214
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4215
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4216
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4217
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4218
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4220
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4221
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4222
used. (Robert Collins)
4224
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4225
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4228
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4229
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4230
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4232
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4235
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4236
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4240
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4241
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4243
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4245
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4247
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4248
tree. (Robert Collins)
4250
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4251
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4252
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4255
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4258
* Tweaks to short log printing
4260
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4263
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4264
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4266
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4267
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4269
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4270
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4272
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4273
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4274
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4276
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4277
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4279
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4280
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4283
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4284
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4286
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4287
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4289
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4290
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4292
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4295
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4296
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4298
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4299
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4301
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4302
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4303
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4307
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4309
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4311
* Error when run with -OO
4313
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4316
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4318
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4320
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4321
ignored by diff and status
4323
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4324
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4326
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4328
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4330
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4331
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4333
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4334
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4336
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4339
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4340
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4342
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4344
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4345
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4347
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4350
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4351
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4353
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4357
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4358
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4360
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4362
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4364
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4366
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4367
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4368
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4370
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4372
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4373
(John Arbash Meinel)
4375
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4377
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4378
If adding a new test script please add that to
4379
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4381
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4382
imported. (Martin Pool)
4384
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4385
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4386
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4387
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4388
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4391
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4392
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4393
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4395
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4396
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4397
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4399
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4400
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4401
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4402
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4403
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4406
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4407
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4412
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4413
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4415
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4416
function. (Robert Collins)
4418
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4419
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4420
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4422
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4423
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4426
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4427
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4428
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4429
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4430
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4431
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4432
version. (Robert Collins)
4434
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4435
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4437
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4438
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4439
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4440
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4441
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4442
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4444
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4447
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4457
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4459
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4461
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4464
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4465
query method. (Robert Collins)
4467
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4470
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4473
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4476
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4477
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4478
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4479
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4481
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4482
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4483
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4484
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4486
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4487
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4494
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4497
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4501
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4502
a separator, not ':'.
4505
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4506
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4507
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4509
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4510
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4513
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4514
has been added that suppresses all output.
4516
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4519
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4520
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4522
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4523
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4525
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4526
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4528
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4529
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4530
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4531
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4533
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4535
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4536
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4538
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4539
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4541
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4542
output directory, if one was supplied.
4544
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4545
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4546
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4547
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4549
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4551
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4552
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4554
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4555
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4556
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4558
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4559
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4561
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4564
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4566
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4570
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4571
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4572
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4574
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4575
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4576
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4578
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4579
is given. (Martin Pool)
4581
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4582
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4583
file. (Robert Collins)
4585
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4590
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4591
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4592
representation. (Martin Pool).
4594
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4595
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4596
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4598
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4601
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4602
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4605
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4606
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4607
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4608
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4609
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4611
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4612
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4613
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4614
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4615
python path. (Robert Collins)
4617
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4618
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4619
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4620
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4622
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4623
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4625
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4626
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4629
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4630
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4631
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4633
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4634
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4635
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4637
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4638
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4640
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4641
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4642
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4645
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4646
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4647
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4648
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4651
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4654
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4655
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4658
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4659
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4660
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4662
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4663
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4664
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4666
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4667
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4668
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4670
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4671
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4673
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4674
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4675
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4676
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4677
caller. (Robert Collins)
4679
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4680
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4683
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4684
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4687
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4689
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4690
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4694
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4695
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4697
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4698
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4701
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4702
--------------------
4706
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4707
allow directories to be listed.
4709
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4710
upgrading branch format.
4714
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4722
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4723
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4724
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4725
high-latency connections.
4729
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4732
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4733
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4735
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4736
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4737
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4738
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4740
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4741
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4743
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4744
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4746
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4747
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4748
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4750
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4751
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4752
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4755
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4756
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4758
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4759
different partial views of history.
4761
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4762
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4766
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4767
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4768
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4770
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4771
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4774
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4775
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4777
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4780
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4781
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4783
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4784
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4785
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4786
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4788
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4790
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4791
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4794
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4795
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4797
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4798
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4799
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4804
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4805
for your viewing pleasure.
4807
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4808
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4810
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4811
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4812
handling of such circumstances.
4814
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4815
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4816
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4818
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4820
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4821
we call them revisions not patches.
4823
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4824
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4826
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4827
giving the revision *of that file*.
4829
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4830
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4831
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4835
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4836
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4838
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4839
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4842
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4843
--------------------
4847
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4849
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4852
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4854
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4856
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4857
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4861
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4862
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4864
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4865
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4866
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4867
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4870
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4871
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4875
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4877
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4878
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4881
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4882
--------------------
4886
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4887
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4888
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4889
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4892
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4895
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4896
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4897
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4898
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4899
for the operating system is still tried.
4901
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4902
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4903
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4908
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4912
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4914
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4917
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4923
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4925
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4928
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4929
--------------------
4933
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4934
help with intelligent shell completion.
4936
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4941
* Much better merge support.
4943
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4944
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4950
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4951
mention revisions that are not present.
4953
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4955
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4957
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4958
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4963
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4965
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4966
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4972
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4973
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4978
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4979
--------------------
4983
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4984
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4986
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4988
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4989
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4991
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4994
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4996
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4999
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5000
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5002
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5003
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5004
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5009
* Faster working tree operations.
5014
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5015
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5016
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5017
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5019
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5020
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5021
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5022
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5023
standard plugins directory.
5025
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5026
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5027
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5028
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5030
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5031
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5033
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5036
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5037
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5038
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5040
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5041
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5043
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5044
line options must come before the command name because they
5045
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5046
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5049
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5051
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5052
is available with ``--short``.
5057
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5060
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5061
---------------------
5065
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5066
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5068
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5069
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5070
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5071
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5073
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5074
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5075
with the ``--forward`` option.
5077
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5078
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5084
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5085
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5087
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5089
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5090
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5092
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5094
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5095
either read or write mode.
5097
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5099
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5102
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5104
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5105
suggested by LarstiQ.
5107
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5108
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5110
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5113
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5114
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5116
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5117
haven't changed since the previous time.
5119
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5120
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5122
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5124
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5126
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5127
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5129
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5130
options through to an external GNU diff.
5132
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5135
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5141
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5142
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5144
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5150
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5151
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5154
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5155
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5157
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5158
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5160
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5161
under a different version.
5163
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5168
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5170
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5171
Scott James Remnant.
5173
* Better help messages for many commands.
5175
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5176
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5178
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5179
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5181
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5183
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5185
* New AtomicFile class.
5187
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5192
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5193

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5197
---------------------
5201
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5202
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5204
* More default ignore patterns.
5206
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5207
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5209
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5211
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5214
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5219
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5220
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5221
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5222
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5223
there are DNS problems.
5225

5230
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5232

5235
trailing newlines properly.
5240

5243
* More tests in test.sh.
5245
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5246
directory and delete it when done.
5248
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5253
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5256
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

5278
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5282
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5283
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5288
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5289
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5294
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

5310
-----------------------------------
5314

5327
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5329
* Performance improvements.
5331

5333
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5334
the root directory only.

5338
---------------------
5342
* More information from info command.

5347
committing to stores.
5349
