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)
41
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
43
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
45
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
46
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
47
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
51
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
52
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
54
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
55
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
57
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
59
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
61
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
62
symlinks (James Henstridge)
64
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.1, which properly quotes #
65
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
67
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
68
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
72
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
73
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
78
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
79
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
84
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
85
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
86
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
89
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
90
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
91
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
92
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
94
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
95
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
96
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
99
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
100
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
101
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
102
format. (Robert Collins)
110
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
113
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
114
---------------------
116
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
118
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
119
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
120
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
121
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
122
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
127
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
128
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
130
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
131
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
132
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
134
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
135
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
136
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
137
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
138
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
139
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
144
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
145
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
147
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
148
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
149
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
152
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
153
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
154
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
155
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
156
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
158
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
159
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
160
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
161
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
162
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
163
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
164
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
165
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
169
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
170
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
172
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
173
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
175
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
176
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
178
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
179
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
180
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
182
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
183
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
188
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
189
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
191
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
192
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
194
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
195
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
197
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
198
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
199
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
201
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
202
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
203
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
205
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
206
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
208
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
209
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
210
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
211
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
212
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
214
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
216
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
217
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
220
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
221
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
223
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
224
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
226
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
227
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
229
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
230
more characters which should be considered valid.
231
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
233
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
234
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
236
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
237
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
241
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
242
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
244
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
245
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
250
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
251
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
256
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
257
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
258
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
260
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
261
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
262
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
264
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
265
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
266
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
267
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
269
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
271
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
272
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
273
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
274
server. (Robert Collins)
276
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
277
operate. (Robert Collins)
279
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
280
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
281
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
283
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
284
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
285
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
286
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
288
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
289
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
291
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
292
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
293
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
295
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
296
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
298
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
299
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
301
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
302
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
303
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
304
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
310
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
312
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
313
---------------------
317
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
318
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
319
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
320
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
322
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
323
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
324
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
325
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
329
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
332
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
335
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
336
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
340
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
343
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
344
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
345
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
347
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
349
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
350
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
351
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
352
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
353
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
355
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
356
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
357
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
359
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
360
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
362
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
365
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
367
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
369
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
372
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
373
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
377
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
378
(Martin Pool, #180208)
380
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
383
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
386
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
387
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
389
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
390
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
392
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
393
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
395
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
396
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
398
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
399
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
400
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
402
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
405
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
406
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
409
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
411
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
412
user:pass embedded in the urls.
413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
415
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
416
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
418
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
421
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
424
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
425
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
427
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
430
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
431
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
434
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
435
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
440
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
443
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
444
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
445
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
446
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
447
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
448
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
450
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
454
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
457
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
458
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
460
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
462
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
463
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
464
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
467
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
468
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
470
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
477
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
478
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
479
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
481
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
482
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
485
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
486
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
488
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
489
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
491
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
492
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
494
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
495
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
496
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
498
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
499
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
501
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
502
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
504
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
505
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
508
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
509
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
511
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
512
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
520
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
522
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
525
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
527
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
528
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
532
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
533
---------------------
537
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
538
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
539
by mail to the mailing list.
544
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
546
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
547
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
548
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
549
feedback but also incur more latency.
550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
552
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
553
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
557
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
559
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
564
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
565
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
566
wraps its output in a StringIO.
570
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
571
---------------------
575
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
577
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
580
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
583
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
584
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
585
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
586
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
588
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
591
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
592
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
594
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
595
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
596
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
598
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
599
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
600
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
601
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
602
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
603
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
604
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
605
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
606
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
610
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
613
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
617
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
618
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
620
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
622
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
624
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
625
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
629
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
630
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
632
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
633
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
637
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
638
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
641
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
642
---------------------
644
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
646
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
647
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
648
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
649
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
651
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
652
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
654
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
655
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
657
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
658
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
659
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
660
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
661
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
662
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
663
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
664
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
665
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
666
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
667
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
668
from any tree without problems.
669
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
673
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
674
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
675
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
677
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
678
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
679
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
684
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
685
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
686
supported transports.
689
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
690
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
691
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
693
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
694
(Robert Collins, #154173)
696
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
697
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
698
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
699
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
701
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
702
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
706
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
707
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
708
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
709
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
711
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
712
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
713
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
714
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
716
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
717
(Robert Collins, #88319)
719
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
720
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
722
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
723
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
725
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
726
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
731
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
734
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
735
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
738
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
739
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
740
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
741
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
743
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
744
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
745
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
746
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
752
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
753
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
755
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
756
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
758
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
759
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
761
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
764
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
765
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
767
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
768
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
770
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
771
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
773
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
776
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
779
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
780
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
783
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
784
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
786
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
787
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
789
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
790
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
792
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
795
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
796
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
797
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
798
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
800
(Martin Pool, #164637)
802
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
803
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
806
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
807
(Robert Collins, #161240)
809
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
811
(Martin Pool, #164443)
813
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
814
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
816
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
817
specify a port in urls.
818
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
820
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
821
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
823
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
824
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
826
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
827
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
829
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
830
(Robert Collins, #153789)
832
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
833
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
834
(Robert Collins, #165304).
836
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
838
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
839
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
841
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
844
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
845
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
847
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
848
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
850
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
851
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
852
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
854
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
855
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
857
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
858
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
859
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
860
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
862
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
863
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
865
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
866
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
867
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
869
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
870
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
872
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
875
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
876
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
880
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
881
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
883
* The return value of
884
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
885
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
886
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
887
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
889
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
892
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
893
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
899
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
900
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
901
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
904
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
905
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
907
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
917
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
920
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
921
----------------------
923
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
927
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
928
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
930
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
931
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
932
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
933
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
934
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
935
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
936
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
937
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
938
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
939
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
940
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
941
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
946
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
947
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
948
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
949
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
950
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
951
for further details. (Robert Collins)
953
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
954
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
955
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
958
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
960
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
961
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
963
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
964
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
967
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
968
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
969
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
973
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
974
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
976
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
977
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
979
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
980
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
981
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
982
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
984
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
987
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
988
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
989
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
990
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
992
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
993
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
995
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
996
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
998
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
999
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1001
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1002
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1006
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1007
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1009
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1010
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1012
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1013
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1015
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1016
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1018
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1019
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1023
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1025
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1030
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1031
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1032
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1034
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1035
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1037
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1038
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1040
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1041
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1042
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1043
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1045
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1046
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1047
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1048
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1049
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1051
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1052
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1056
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1058
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1059
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1061
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1062
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1064
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1065
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1067
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1068
contains a symbolic link.
1069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1071
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1072
(James Westby, #140615)
1074
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1075
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1078
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1079
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1080
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1082
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1084
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1087
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1091
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1092
directory to detect leaking tests.
1093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1095
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1096
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1097
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1099
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1102
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1103
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1105
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1110
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1111
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1113
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1114
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1115
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1117
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1118
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1119
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1121
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1122
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1124
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1125
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1127
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1128
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1131
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1132
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1134
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1135
class that needs it.
1138
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1139
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1141
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1142
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1143
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1145
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1146
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1147
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1150
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1151
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1152
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1153
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1158
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1159
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1160
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1162
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1163
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1164
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1165
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1167
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1168
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1171
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1172
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1173
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1175
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1176
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1177
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1179
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1180
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1182
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1183
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1184
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1186
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1187
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1189
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1190
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1191
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1193
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1194
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1195
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1197
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1198
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1199
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1200
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1202
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1203
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1204
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1205
returned. (Robert Collins)
1207
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1208
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1210
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1211
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1212
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1213
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1216
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1217
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1221
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1222
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1224
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1225
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1226
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1227
makes this behavior available to other users.
1230
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1231
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1239
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1240
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1241
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1243
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1245
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1246
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1247
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1248
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1250
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1251
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1255
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1256
----------------------
1258
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1259
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1262
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1263
----------------------
1267
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1268
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1269
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1270
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1273
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1274
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1275
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1280
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1281
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1282
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1285
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1286
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1287
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1289
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1290
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1291
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1293
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1294
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1296
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1297
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1298
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1299
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1300
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1301
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1302
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1303
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1304
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1305
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1307
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1308
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1310
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1311
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1312
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1316
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1317
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1319
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1320
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1321
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1323
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1324
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1326
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1327
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1329
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1332
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1333
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1335
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1336
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1338
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1339
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1341
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1342
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1344
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1346
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1349
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1350
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1351
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1352
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1354
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1356
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1357
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1360
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1361
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1363
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1364
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1367
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1368
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1370
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1371
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1373
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1374
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1375
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1376
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1377
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1378
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1379
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1381
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1382
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1384
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1385
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1387
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1388
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1390
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1393
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1395
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1397
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1398
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1400
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1401
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1402
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1404
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1405
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1406
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1410
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1411
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1413
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1416
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1419
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1420
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1422
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1424
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1425
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1427
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1428
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1430
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1431
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1432
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1433
space). (Robert Collins)
1435
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1436
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1439
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1440
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1442
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1443
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1445
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1446
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1447
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1448
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1450
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1451
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1452
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1455
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1458
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1459
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1460
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1462
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1463
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1464
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1465
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1466
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1470
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1471
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1473
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1474
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1475
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1476
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1477
affected. (Robert Collins)
1479
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1480
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1481
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1484
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1485
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1489
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1490
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1492
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1493
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1495
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1496
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1498
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1501
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1502
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1506
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1507
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1508
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1509
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1511
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1512
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1514
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1515
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1516
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1517
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1519
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1520
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1521
present. (Robert Collins)
1523
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1524
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1525
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1526
API. (Robert Collins)
1528
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1529
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1532
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1533
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1535
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1536
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1537
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1538
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1539
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1540
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1542
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1543
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1544
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1546
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1547
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1548
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1549
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1552
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1555
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1556
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1557
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1558
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1559
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1560
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1561
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1563
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1564
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1565
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1566
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1568
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1569
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1570
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1571
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1572
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1573
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1575
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1576
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1577
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1579
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1580
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1588
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1589
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1590
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1591
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1592
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1593
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1594
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1595
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1600
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1601
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1602
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1605
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1606
----------------------
1610
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1611
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1612
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1613
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1614
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1616
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1619
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1623
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1624
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1627
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1628
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1631
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1634
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1635
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1637
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1638
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1640
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1641
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1643
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1644
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1646
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1647
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1649
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1654
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1655
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1657
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1658
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1660
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1661
the repository (Robert Collins)
1663
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1664
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1665
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1666
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1667
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1669
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1670
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1672
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1673
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1674
(John Arbash Meinel)
1676
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1677
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1678
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1680
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1681
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1682
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1683
(John Arbash Meinel)
1685
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1686
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1689
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1690
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1692
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1695
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1697
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1699
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1700
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1702
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1703
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1706
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1707
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1708
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1709
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1711
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1712
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1713
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1715
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1716
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1717
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1719
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1720
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1722
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1723
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1724
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1725
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1726
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1727
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1730
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1731
(Alexander Belchenko)
1733
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1734
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1736
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1737
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1739
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1741
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1742
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1746
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1747
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1748
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1749
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1751
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1753
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1756
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1757
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1758
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1759
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1760
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1761
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1765
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1766
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1767
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1768
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1770
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1771
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1772
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1773
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1774
tests have been refactored too.
1777
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1778
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1779
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1783
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1784
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1785
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1787
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1788
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1789
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1790
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1791
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1792
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1793
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1795
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1796
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1797
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1798
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1799
(John Arbash Meinel)
1801
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1802
functionality for testing.
1804
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1806
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1807
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1809
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1811
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1814
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1815
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1817
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1818
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1819
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1821
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1824
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1825
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1827
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1828
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1829
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1830
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1832
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1833
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1835
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1836
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1837
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1839
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1842
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1843
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1844
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1845
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1846
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1847
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1849
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1850
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1851
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1852
many files. (Robert Collins)
1854
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1855
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1856
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1857
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1861
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1862
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1863
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1865
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1866
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1868
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1869
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1870
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1874
--------------------
1878
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1881
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1882
-----------------------
1886
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1887
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1889
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1890
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1891
(James Westby, #122656)
1893
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1894
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1896
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1897
authentication header.
1898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1900
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1902
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1903
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1905
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1907
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1908
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1910
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1911
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1912
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1914
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1915
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1916
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1918
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1919
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1921
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1924
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1925
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1927
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1929
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1933
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1934
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1935
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1936
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1937
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1938
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1940
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1941
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1942
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1944
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1947
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1948
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1950
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1951
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1953
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1954
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1956
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1957
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1958
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1959
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1960
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1962
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1963
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1965
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1966
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1967
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1969
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1970
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1972
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1974
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1975
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1977
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1978
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1981
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1984
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1985
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1987
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1988
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1990
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1991
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1993
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1995
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1996
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1998
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2003
* Testing cleanups -
2004
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2005
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2006
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2007
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2008
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2009
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2010
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2011
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2012
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2013
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2014
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2015
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2016
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2017
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2018
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2019
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2020
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2023
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2025
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2026
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2027
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2029
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2030
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2032
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2033
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2035
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2037
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2038
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2039
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2040
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2041
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2042
same location. (Robert Collins)
2046
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2048
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2050
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2052
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2055
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2058
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2059
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2060
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2062
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2064
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2065
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2066
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2068
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2069
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2071
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2072
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2073
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2075
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2076
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2077
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2079
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2080
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2081
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2083
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2084
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2087
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2088
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2090
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2091
(Alexander Belchenko)
2095
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2096
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2097
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2098
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2100
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2101
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2102
testing. (Robert Collins)
2104
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2105
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2107
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2108
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2109
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2110
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2111
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2112
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2113
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2115
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2116
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2117
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2118
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2120
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2121
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2123
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2124
avoid useless cloning.
2125
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2129
--------------------
2133
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2134
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2136
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2137
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
2140
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
2141
-----------------------
2143
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2145
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2146
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2147
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2148
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2149
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2150
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2151
and unlock() like so::
2153
work_tree.lock_read()
2155
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2160
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2161
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2163
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2164
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2165
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2167
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2168
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2169
too. (Robert Collins)
2173
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2174
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2177
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2178
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2180
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2181
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2183
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2184
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2185
understanding what changes have occurred
2186
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2188
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2189
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2190
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2192
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2193
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2194
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2195
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2197
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2202
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2203
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2204
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2205
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2206
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2208
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2209
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2210
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2212
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2215
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2219
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2220
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2222
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2223
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2225
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2226
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2228
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2229
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2231
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2232
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2234
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2235
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2236
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2239
--------------------
2243
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2244
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2245
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2246
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2247
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2249
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2250
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2251
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2253
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2254
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2258
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2259
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2260
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2262
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2263
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2264
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2265
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2267
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2268
-----------------------
2272
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2273
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2274
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2275
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2277
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2278
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2279
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2281
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2282
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2284
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2285
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2287
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2288
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2290
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2291
-----------------------
2293
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2295
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2296
it could be recovered again.
2297
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2298
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2299
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2301
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2303
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2304
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2308
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2309
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2311
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2312
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2313
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2314
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2316
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2317
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2319
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2320
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2321
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2323
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2324
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2325
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2327
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2328
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2329
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2331
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2332
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2335
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2338
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2339
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2340
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2341
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2343
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2346
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2347
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2348
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2351
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2352
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2354
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2355
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2357
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2358
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2359
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2360
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2363
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2364
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2366
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2367
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2369
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2370
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2371
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2373
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2374
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2375
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2377
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2378
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2379
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2381
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2382
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2383
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2384
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2386
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2387
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2388
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2389
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2391
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2392
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2393
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2394
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2395
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2396
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2397
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2398
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2404
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2405
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2407
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2408
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2409
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2410
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2411
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2413
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2414
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2416
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2417
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2419
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2420
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2422
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2423
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2425
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2426
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2427
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2430
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2431
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2432
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2433
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2434
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2437
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2438
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2439
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2441
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2442
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2445
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2446
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2447
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2450
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2451
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2452
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2453
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2454
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2456
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2457
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2458
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2459
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2461
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2462
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2464
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2465
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2466
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2467
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2468
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2469
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2471
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2472
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2474
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2475
help. (Robert Collins)
2477
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2478
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2480
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2481
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2482
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2483
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2484
(John Arbash Meinel)
2486
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2487
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2488
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2489
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2490
useful. (Robert Collins)
2492
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2497
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2498
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2500
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2501
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2503
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2504
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2505
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2507
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2510
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2511
the file, and does it faster.
2512
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2514
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2515
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2516
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2518
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2519
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2520
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2521
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2523
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2524
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2525
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2526
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2528
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2529
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2531
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2532
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2533
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2534
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2537
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2539
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2540
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2542
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2543
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2545
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2546
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2547
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2548
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2552
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2557
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2558
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2559
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2561
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2562
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2564
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2565
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2566
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2567
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2568
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2569
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2570
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2571
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2573
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2574
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2575
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2577
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2578
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2579
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2580
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2581
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2583
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2585
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2586
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2587
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2589
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2590
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2598
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2601
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2602
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2605
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2606
-----------------------
2610
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2611
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2616
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2617
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2618
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2619
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2620
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2621
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2622
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2623
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2628
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2629
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2630
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2632
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2633
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2636
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2637
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2638
(John Arbash Meinel)
2640
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2641
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2642
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2643
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2644
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2648
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2651
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2652
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2654
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2655
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2657
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2658
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2659
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2661
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2662
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2664
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2665
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2666
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2667
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2668
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2670
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2671
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2672
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2674
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2677
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2678
-----------------------
2680
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2682
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2683
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2684
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2688
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2689
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2691
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2692
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2694
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2696
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2697
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2699
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2700
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2704
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2709
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2710
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2711
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2712
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2714
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2715
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2717
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2718
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2720
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2723
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2724
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2727
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2728
-----------------------
2732
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2733
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2734
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2735
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2736
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2737
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2739
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2740
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2741
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2742
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2743
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2744
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2746
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2748
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2749
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2750
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2751
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2752
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2753
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2754
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2755
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2759
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2760
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2762
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2763
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2764
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2765
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2767
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2768
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2769
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2770
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2771
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2773
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2776
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2779
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2782
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2783
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2786
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2789
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2790
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2792
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2793
directory. (Martin Pool)
2795
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2796
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2797
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2798
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2800
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2801
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2802
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2803
in docs/configuration.txt.
2805
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2806
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2809
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2810
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2811
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2812
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2813
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2814
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2816
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2817
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2819
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2820
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2822
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2827
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2828
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2829
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2830
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2831
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2832
(John Arbash Meinel)
2834
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2835
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2838
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2839
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2840
(John Arbash Meinel)
2842
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2843
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2844
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2845
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2846
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2847
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2849
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2850
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2851
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2853
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2854
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2855
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2856
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2858
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2860
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2861
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2862
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2863
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2865
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2866
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2867
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2868
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2870
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2871
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2872
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2874
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2875
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2876
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2878
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2879
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2880
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2881
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2883
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2884
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2885
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2887
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2888
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2889
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2891
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2892
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2893
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2894
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2895
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2896
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2897
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2898
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2899
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2900
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2901
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2905
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2906
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2907
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2909
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2912
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2913
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2914
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2915
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2917
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2918
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2921
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2922
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2924
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2926
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2927
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2928
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2930
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2931
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2933
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2936
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2939
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2940
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2942
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2944
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2945
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2949
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2950
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2954
--------------------
2958
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2962
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2963
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2964
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2966
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2967
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2968
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2971
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2972
-----------------------
2976
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2977
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2978
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2979
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2981
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2984
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2985
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2986
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2988
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2989
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2991
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2994
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2995
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2996
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2997
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2998
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2999
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3001
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3002
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3003
should enable you to do::
3005
[/home/user/project]
3006
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3007
push_location:policy = appendpath
3009
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3010
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3013
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3014
for each file. For example::
3016
$ bzr status --short
3022
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3023
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3025
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3027
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3028
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3030
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3034
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3035
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3036
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3037
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3039
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3040
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3041
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3043
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3045
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3046
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3047
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3048
(Alexander Belchenko)
3050
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3053
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3054
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3056
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3060
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3061
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3063
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3064
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3065
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3066
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3067
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3069
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3070
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3072
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3073
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3075
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3077
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3079
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3080
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3081
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3082
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3083
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3085
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3086
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3087
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3088
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3090
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3091
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3093
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3094
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3096
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3097
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3099
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3100

No changes from 0.13rc1
3108
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3109
-----------------------
3113
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3115
(Daniel Silverstone)
3117
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3118
operations are substantially faster.
3119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3121
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3122
tree from some other url. For example:
3123
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3124
(Daniel Silverstone)
3126
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3127
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3128
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3129
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3131
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3134
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3135
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3136
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3137
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3138
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3139
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3143
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3144
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3147
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3148
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3149
(John Arbash Meinel)
3151
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3152
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3153
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3154
(John Arbash Meinel)
3156
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3157
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3159
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3160
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3162
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3163
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3168
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3169
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3170
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3172
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3173
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3174
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3175
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3177
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3179
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3180
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3182
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3183
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3184
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3187
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3188
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3189
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3191
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3192
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3193
them as full references rather than integers.
3194
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3196
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3197
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3199
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3201
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3202
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3204
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3205
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3207
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3208
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3209
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3210
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3212
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3213
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3214
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3216
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3217
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3219
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3220
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3221
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3222
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3223
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3227
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3228
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3231
--------------------
3235
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3236
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3237
(John Arbash Meinel)
3239
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3240
-----------------------
3244
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3245
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3246
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3247
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3249
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3250
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3252
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3254
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3255
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3256
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3257
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3259
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3260
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3261
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3262
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3263
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3265
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3267
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3268
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3272
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3273
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3274
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3276
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3277
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3278
(John Arbash Meinel)
3280
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3281
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3282
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3284
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3285
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3288
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3289
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3290
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3292
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3293
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3294
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3295
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3296
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3297
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3299
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3300
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3301
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3304
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3305
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3309
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3310
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3311
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3314
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3315
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3317
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3318
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3319
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3321
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3322
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3324
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3325
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3326
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3327
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3329
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3330
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3332
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3333
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3334
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3336
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3337
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3339
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3341
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3342
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3347
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3348
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3349
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3350
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3352
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3353
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3354
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3357
--------------------
3359
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3361
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3362
-----------------------
3366
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3368
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3371
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3372
-----------------------
3376
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3377
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3378
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3379
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3380
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3381
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3382
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3384
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3385
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3386
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3388
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3390
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3391
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3393
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3394
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3395
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3398
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3399
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3400
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3401
(John Arbash Meinel)
3403
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3404
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3405
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3406
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3409
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3410
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3411
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3412
(John Arbash Meinel)
3416
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3417
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3419
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3421
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3422
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3423
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3425
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3426
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3428
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3429
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3431
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3434
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3435
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3437
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3439
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3440
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3442
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3443
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3445
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3446
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3448
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3449
(John Arbash Meinel)
3451
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3452
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3453
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3455
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3456
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3458
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3459
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3460
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3461
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3463
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3464
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3465
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3467
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3468
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3472
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3476
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3477
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3478
(John Arbash Meinel)
3480
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3481
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3482
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3483
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3485
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3488
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3489
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3490
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3492
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3493
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3495
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3496
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3497
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3499
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3500
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3501
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3502
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3503
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3504
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3505
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3506
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3507
caller to repeat their request.
3508
(John Arbash Meinel)
3510
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3511
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3513
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3514
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3516
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3517
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3518
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3519
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3520
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3521
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3522
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3524
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3525
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3526
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3527
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3528
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3529
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3530
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3531
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3534
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3535
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3536
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3538
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3539
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3541
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3542
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3544
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3545
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3549
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3550
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3552
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3553
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3554
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3556
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3557
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3558
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3561
--------------------
3564
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3565
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3567
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3568
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3569
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3570
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3571
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3573
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3574
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3575
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3577
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3578
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3580
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3581
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3582
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3586
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3588
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3589
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3590
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3592
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3594
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3596
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3597
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3598
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3599
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3601
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3602
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3603
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3604
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3605
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3607
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3608
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3610
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3611
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3613
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3614
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3616
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3617
in handling of revision properties.
3618
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3620
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3621
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3625
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3626
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3627
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3628
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3629
(John Arbash Meinel)
3631
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3632
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3633
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3635
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3636
---------------------
3640
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3641
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3642
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3643
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3644
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3645
a more conservative list than the old default.
3646
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3647
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3648
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3649
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3651
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3652
to more locations than just branch locations.
3657
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3658
revno:N:branch. For example,
3659
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3660
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3662
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3663
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3664
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3665
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3666
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3667
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3668
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3669
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3672
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3673
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3674
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3677
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3678
(Alexander Belchenko)
3680
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3682
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3685
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3686
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3687
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3688
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3689
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3690
(John Arbash Meinel)
3692
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3693
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3694
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3695
grained analysis of performance.
3696
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3698
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3699
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3701
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3702
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3703
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3704
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3705
file. (Robert Collins).
3707
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3708
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3709
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3711
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3712
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3715
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3716
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3718
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3719
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3720
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3721
the same way you would apply another branch.
3722
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3724
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3725
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3727
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3730
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3733
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3734
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3735
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3737
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3738
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3739
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3741
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3742
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3744
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3745
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3746
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3747
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3748
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3750
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3751
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3753
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3754
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3755
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3756
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3757
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3758
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3759
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3760
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3762
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3763
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3764
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3768
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3770
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3772
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3773
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3775
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3776
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3778
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3779
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3781
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3783
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3784
(John Arbash Meinel)
3786
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3787
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3789
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3790
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3793
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3794
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3796
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3797
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3799
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3800
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3801
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3802
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3804
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3805
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3807
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3809
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3810
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3812
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3814
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3816
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3817
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3819
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3820
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3822
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3823
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3824
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3826
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3827
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3828
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3830
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3831
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3833
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3834
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3836
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3837
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3839
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3840
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3842
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3843
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3845
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3846
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3847
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3849
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3851
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3852
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3856
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3857
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3858
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3860
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3861
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3863
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3864
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3865
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3867
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3868
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3870
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3871
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3874
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3875
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3876
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3878
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3879
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3880
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3882
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3883
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3884
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3886
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3887
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3888
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3890
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3891
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3892
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3894
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3895
instead. (Robert Collins)
3897
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3899

---------------------
3904
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3906
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3907
---------------------
3911
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3912
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3914
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3915
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3917
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3918
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3919
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3923
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3925
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3926
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3928
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3932
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3933
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3934
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3935
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3939
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3940
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3941
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3945
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3946
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3947
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3951
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3952
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3957
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3959
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3960
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3961
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3962
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3963
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3964
will keep the same format.
3966
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3967
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3968
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3969
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3970
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3972
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3973
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3974
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3975
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3976
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3977
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3978
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3980
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3981
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3982
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3983
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3984
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3986
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3987
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3988
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3994
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3995
convention. Paths now take the form::
3997
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3999
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4001
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4002
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4004
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4005
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4006
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4008
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4009
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4010
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4011
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4013
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4014
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4015
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4017
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4019
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4021
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4022
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4025
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4026
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4029
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4031
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4032
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4033
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4036
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4038
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4040
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4043
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4044
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4046
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4047
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4050
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4051
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4054
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4056
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4058
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4059
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4061
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4062
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4063
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4064
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4065
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4066
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4068
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4070
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4071
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4074
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4075
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4077
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4078
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4080
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4082
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4083
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4084
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4085
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4086
specification by Martin Pool.
4087
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4089
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4092
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4093
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4095
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4096
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4097
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4099
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4101
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4102
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4107
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4108
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4110
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4112
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4114
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4117
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4118
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4119
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4120
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4124
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4125
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4126
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4127
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4129
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4130
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4131
tried. (Martin Pool)
4133
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4136
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4138
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4139
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4140
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4142
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4143
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4145
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4146
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4147
paths. (Robert Collins)
4149
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4150
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4151
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4153
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4154
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4155
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4157
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4158
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4159
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4161
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4164
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4167
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4169
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4171
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4172
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4173
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4176
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4177
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4179
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4180
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4181
check. (Robert Collins)
4183
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4184
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4188
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4189
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4191
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4192
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4193
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4194
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4196
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4197
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4198
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4199
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4200
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4202
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4203
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4204
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4206
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4208
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4209
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4216
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4217
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4219
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4220
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4221
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4224
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4225
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4227
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4228
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4229
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4230
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4231
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4233
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4234
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4235
used. (Robert Collins)
4237
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4238
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4241
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4242
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4243
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4245
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4248
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4249
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4253
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4254
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4256
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4258
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4260
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4261
tree. (Robert Collins)
4263
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4264
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4265
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4268
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4271
* Tweaks to short log printing
4273
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4276
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4277
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4279
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4280
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4282
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4283
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4285
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4286
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4287
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4289
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4290
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4292
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4293
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4296
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4297
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4299
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4300
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4302
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4303
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4305
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4308
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4309
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4311
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4312
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4314
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4315
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4316
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4320
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4322
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4324
* Error when run with -OO
4326
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4329
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4331
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4333
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4334
ignored by diff and status
4336
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4337
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4339
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4341
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4343
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4344
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4346
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4347
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4349
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4352
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4353
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4355
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4357
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4358
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4360
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4363
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4364
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4366
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4370
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4371
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4373
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4375
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4377
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4379
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4380
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4381
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4383
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4385
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4386
(John Arbash Meinel)
4388
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4390
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4391
If adding a new test script please add that to
4392
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4394
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4395
imported. (Martin Pool)
4397
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4398
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4399
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4400
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4401
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4404
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4405
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4406
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4408
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4409
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4410
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4412
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4413
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4414
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4415
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4416
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4419
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4420
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4425
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4426
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4428
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4429
function. (Robert Collins)
4431
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4432
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4433
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4435
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4436
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4439
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4440
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4441
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4442
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4443
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4444
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4445
version. (Robert Collins)
4447
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4448
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4450
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4451
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4452
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4453
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4454
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4455
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4457
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4460
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4470
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4472
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4474
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4477
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4478
query method. (Robert Collins)
4480
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4483
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4486
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4489
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4490
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4491
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4492
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4494
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4495
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4496
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4497
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4499
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4500
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4507
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4510
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4514
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4515
a separator, not ':'.
4518
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4519
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4520
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4522
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4523
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4526
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4527
has been added that suppresses all output.
4529
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4532
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4533
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4535
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4536
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4538
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4539
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4541
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4542
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4543
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4544
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4546
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4548
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4549
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4551
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4552
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4554
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4555
output directory, if one was supplied.
4557
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4558
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4559
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4560
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4562
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4564
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4565
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4567
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4568
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4569
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4571
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4572
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4574
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4577
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4579
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4583
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4584
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4585
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4587
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4588
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4589
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4591
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4592
is given. (Martin Pool)
4594
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4595
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4596
file. (Robert Collins)
4598
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4603
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4604
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4605
representation. (Martin Pool).
4607
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4608
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4609
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4611
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4614
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4615
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4618
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4619
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4620
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4621
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4622
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4624
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4625
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4626
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4627
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4628
python path. (Robert Collins)
4630
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4631
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4632
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4633
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4635
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4636
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4638
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4639
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4642
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4643
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4644
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4646
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4647
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4648
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4650
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4651
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4653
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4654
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4655
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4658
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4659
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4660
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4661
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4664
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4667
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4668
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4671
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4672
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4673
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4675
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4676
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4677
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4679
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4680
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4681
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4683
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4684
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4686
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4687
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4688
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4689
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4690
caller. (Robert Collins)
4692
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4693
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4696
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4697
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4700
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4702
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4703
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4707
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4708
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4710
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4711
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4714
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4715
--------------------
4719
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4720
allow directories to be listed.
4722
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4723
upgrading branch format.
4727
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4735
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4736
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4737
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4738
high-latency connections.
4742
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4745
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4746
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4748
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4749
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4750
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4751
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4753
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4754
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4756
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4757
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4759
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4760
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4761
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4763
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4764
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4765
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4768
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4769
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4771
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4772
different partial views of history.
4774
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4775
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4779
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4780
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4781
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4783
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4784
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4787
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4788
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4790
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4793
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4794
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4796
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4797
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4798
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4799
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4801
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4803
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4804
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4807
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4808
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4810
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4811
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4812
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4817
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4818
for your viewing pleasure.
4820
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4821
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4823
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4824
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4825
handling of such circumstances.
4827
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4828
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4829
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4831
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4833
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4834
we call them revisions not patches.
4836
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4837
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4839
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4840
giving the revision *of that file*.
4842
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4843
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4844
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4848
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4849
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4851
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4852
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4855
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4856
--------------------
4860
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4862
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4865
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4867
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4869
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4870
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4874
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4875
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4877
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4878
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4879
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4880
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4883
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4884
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4888
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4890
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4891
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4894
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4895
--------------------
4899
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4900
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4901
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4902
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4905
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4908
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4909
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4910
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4911
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4912
for the operating system is still tried.
4914
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4915
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4916
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4921
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4925
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4927
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4930
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4936
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4938
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4941
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4942
--------------------
4946
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4947
help with intelligent shell completion.
4949
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4954
* Much better merge support.
4956
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4957
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4963
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4964
mention revisions that are not present.
4966
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4968
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4970
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4971
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4976
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4978
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4979
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4985
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4986
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4991
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4992
--------------------
4996
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4997
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4999
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5001
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5002
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5004
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5007
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5009
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5012
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5013
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5015
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5016
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5017
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5022
* Faster working tree operations.
5027
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5028
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5029
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5030
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5032
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5033
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5034
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5035
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5036
standard plugins directory.
5038
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5039
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5040
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5041
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5043
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5044
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5046
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5049
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5050
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5051
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5053
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5054
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5056
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5057
line options must come before the command name because they
5058
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5059
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5062
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5064
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5065
is available with ``--short``.
5070
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5073
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5074
---------------------
5078
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5079
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5081
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5082
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5083
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5084
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5086
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5087
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5088
with the ``--forward`` option.
5090
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5091
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5097
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5098
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5100
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5102
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5103
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5105
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5107
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5108
either read or write mode.
5110
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5112
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5115
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5117
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5118
suggested by LarstiQ.
5120
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5121
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5123
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5126
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5127
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5129
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5130
haven't changed since the previous time.
5132
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5133
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5135
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5137
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5139
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5140
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5142
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5143
options through to an external GNU diff.
5145
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5148
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5154
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5155
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5157
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5163
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5164
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5167
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5168
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5170
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5171
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5173
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5174
under a different version.
5176
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5181
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5183
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5184
Scott James Remnant.
5186
* Better help messages for many commands.
5188
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5189
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5191
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5192
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5194
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5196

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5210
---------------------
5214
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5215
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5217
* More default ignore patterns.
5219
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5220
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5222
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5224
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5227
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5232
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5233
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5234
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5235
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5236
there are DNS problems.
5238
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5243
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5245

5248
trailing newlines properly.

5259
directory and delete it when done.
5261
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5266
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5269
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

5291
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5295
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5296
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5301
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5302
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5307
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

5340
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5342
* Performance improvements.
5344
* New global --profile option.
5346
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5347
the root directory only.
