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)
49
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
50
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
54
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
55
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
57
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
58
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
59
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
61
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
62
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
64
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
66
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
68
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
69
symlinks (James Henstridge)
71
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
72
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
74
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
75
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
77
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
78
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
80
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
81
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
83
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
84
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
88
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
89
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
94
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
95
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
100
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
101
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
102
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
103
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
105
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
106
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
107
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
108
(Alexander Belchenko)
110
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
111
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
112
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
113
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
115
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
116
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
117
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
120
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
121
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
122
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
124
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
125
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
126
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
127
format. (Robert Collins)
135
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
138
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
139
---------------------
141
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
143
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
144
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
145
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
146
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
147
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
152
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
153
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
155
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
156
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
157
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
159
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
160
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
161
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
162
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
163
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
164
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
169
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
170
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
172
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
173
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
174
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
177
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
178
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
179
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
180
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
181
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
183
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
184
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
185
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
186
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
187
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
188
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
189
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
190
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
194
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
195
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
197
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
198
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
200
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
201
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
203
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
204
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
205
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
207
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
208
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
213
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
214
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
216
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
217
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
219
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
220
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
222
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
223
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
224
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
226
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
227
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
228
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
230
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
231
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
233
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
234
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
235
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
236
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
237
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
239
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
241
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
242
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
245
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
246
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
248
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
249
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
251
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
254
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
255
more characters which should be considered valid.
256
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
258
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
259
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
261
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
262
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
266
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
267
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
269
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
270
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
275
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
276
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
281
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
282
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
283
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
285
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
286
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
287
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
289
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
290
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
291
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
292
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
294
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
296
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
297
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
298
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
299
server. (Robert Collins)
301
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
302
operate. (Robert Collins)
304
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
305
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
306
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
308
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
309
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
310
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
311
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
313
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
314
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
316
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
317
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
318
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
320
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
321
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
323
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
324
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
326
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
327
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
328
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
329
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
335
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
337
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
338
---------------------
342
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
343
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
344
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
345
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
347
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
348
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
349
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
350
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
354
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
357
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
360
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
361
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
365
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
368
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
369
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
370
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
372
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
374
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
375
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
376
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
377
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
378
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
380
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
381
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
382
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
384
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
385
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
387
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
390
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
392
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
394
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
397
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
398
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
402
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
403
(Martin Pool, #180208)
405
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
408
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
411
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
412
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
414
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
415
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
417
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
418
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
420
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
421
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
423
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
424
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
425
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
427
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
430
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
431
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
434
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
436
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
437
user:pass embedded in the urls.
438
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
440
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
441
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
443
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
446
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
449
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
450
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
452
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
455
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
456
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
459
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
460
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
465
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
468
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
469
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
470
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
471
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
472
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
473
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
475
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
479
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
482
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
483
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
485
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
487
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
488
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
489
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
492
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
493
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
495
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
502
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
503
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
504
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
506
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
507
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
510
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
511
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
513
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
514
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
516
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
517
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
519
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
520
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
521
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
523
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
524
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
526
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
527
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
529
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
530
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
533
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
534
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
536
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
537
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
545
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
547
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
550
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
552
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
553
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
557
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
558
---------------------
562
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
563
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
564
by mail to the mailing list.
569
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
571
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
572
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
573
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
574
feedback but also incur more latency.
575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
577
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
578
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
582
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
584
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
589
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
590
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
591
wraps its output in a StringIO.
595
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
596
---------------------
600
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
602
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
605
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
608
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
609
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
610
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
611
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
613
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
616
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
617
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
619
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
620
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
621
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
623
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
624
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
625
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
626
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
627
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
628
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
629
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
630
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
631
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
635
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
638
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
642
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
643
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
645
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
647
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
649
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
650
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
652
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
654
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
655
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
657
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
658
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
662
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
663
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
666
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
667
---------------------
669
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
671
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
672
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
673
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
674
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
676
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
677
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
679
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
680
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
682
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
683
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
684
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
685
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
686
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
687
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
688
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
689
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
690
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
691
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
692
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
693
from any tree without problems.
694
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
698
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
699
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
700
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
702
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
703
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
704
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
709
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
710
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
711
supported transports.
714
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
715
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
716
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
718
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
719
(Robert Collins, #154173)
721
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
722
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
723
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
724
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
726
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
727
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
731
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
732
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
733
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
734
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
736
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
737
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
738
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
739
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
741
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
742
(Robert Collins, #88319)
744
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
745
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
747
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
748
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
750
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
751
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
756
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
759
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
760
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
763
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
764
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
765
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
766
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
768
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
769
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
770
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
771
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
777
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
778
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
780
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
781
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
783
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
784
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
786
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
789
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
790
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
792
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
793
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
795
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
798
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
801
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
804
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
805
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
808
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
809
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
811
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
812
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
814
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
815
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
817
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
818
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
820
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
821
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
822
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
823
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
825
(Martin Pool, #164637)
827
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
828
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
831
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
832
(Robert Collins, #161240)
834
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
836
(Martin Pool, #164443)
838
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
839
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
841
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
842
specify a port in urls.
843
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
845
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
846
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
848
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
849
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
851
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
852
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
854
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
855
(Robert Collins, #153789)
857
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
858
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
859
(Robert Collins, #165304).
861
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
863
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
864
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
866
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
869
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
870
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
872
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
873
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
875
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
876
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
877
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
879
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
880
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
882
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
883
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
884
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
885
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
887
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
888
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
890
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
891
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
892
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
894
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
895
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
897
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
900
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
905
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
906
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
908
* The return value of
909
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
910
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
911
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
912
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
914
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
917
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
918
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
924
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
925
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
926
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
929
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
930
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
932
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
942
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
945
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
946
----------------------
948
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
952
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
953
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
955
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
956
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
957
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
958
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
959
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
960
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
961
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
962
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
963
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
964
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
965
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
966
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
971
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
972
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
973
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
974
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
975
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
976
for further details. (Robert Collins)
978
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
979
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
980
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
983
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
985
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
986
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
988
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
989
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
992
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
993
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
994
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
998
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
999
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1001
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1002
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1004
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1005
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1006
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1007
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1009
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1012
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1013
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1014
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1015
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1017
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1018
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1020
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1021
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1023
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1024
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1026
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1027
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1031
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1032
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1034
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1035
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1037
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1038
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1040
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1041
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1043
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1044
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1048
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1050
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1055
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1056
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1057
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1059
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1060
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1062
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1063
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1065
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1066
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1067
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1068
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1070
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1071
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1072
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1073
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1074
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1076
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1077
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1079
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1081
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1083
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1084
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1086
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1087
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1089
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1092
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1093
contains a symbolic link.
1094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1096
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1097
(James Westby, #140615)
1099
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1100
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1103
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1104
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1105
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1107
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1109
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1110
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1112
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1116
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1117
directory to detect leaking tests.
1118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1120
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1121
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1122
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1124
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1127
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1128
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1130
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1135
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1136
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1138
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1139
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1140
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1142
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1143
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1144
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1146
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1147
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1149
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1150
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1152
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1153
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1156
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1157
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1159
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1160
class that needs it.
1163
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1164
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1166
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1167
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1168
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1170
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1171
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1172
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1175
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1176
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1177
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1178
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1183
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1184
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1185
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1187
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1188
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1189
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1190
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1192
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1193
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1196
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1197
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1198
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1200
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1201
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1202
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1204
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1205
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1207
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1208
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1209
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1211
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1212
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1214
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1215
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1216
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1218
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1219
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1220
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1222
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1223
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1224
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1225
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1227
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1228
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1229
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1230
returned. (Robert Collins)
1232
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1233
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1235
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1236
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1237
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1238
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1241
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1242
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1246
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1247
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1249
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1250
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1251
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1252
makes this behavior available to other users.
1255
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1256
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1264
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1265
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1266
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1268
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1270
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1271
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1272
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1273
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1275
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1276
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1280
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1281
----------------------
1283
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1284
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1287
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1288
----------------------
1292
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1293
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1294
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1295
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1298
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1299
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1300
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1305
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1306
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1307
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1310
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1311
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1312
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1314
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1315
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1316
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1318
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1319
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1321
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1322
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1323
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1324
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1325
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1326
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1327
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1328
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1329
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1330
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1332
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1333
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1335
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1336
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1337
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1341
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1342
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1344
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1345
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1346
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1348
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1349
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1351
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1352
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1354
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1357
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1358
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1360
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1361
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1363
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1364
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1366
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1367
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1369
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1371
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1374
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1375
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1376
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1377
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1379
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1381
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1382
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1385
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1386
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1388
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1389
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1392
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1393
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1395
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1396
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1398
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1399
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1400
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1401
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1402
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1403
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1404
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1406
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1407
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1409
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1410
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1412
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1413
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1415
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1418
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1422
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1423
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1425
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1426
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1427
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1429
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1430
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1431
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1435
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1436
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1438
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1441
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1444
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1445
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1447
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1449
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1450
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1452
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1453
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1455
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1456
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1457
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1458
space). (Robert Collins)
1460
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1461
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1464
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1465
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1467
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1468
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1470
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1471
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1472
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1473
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1475
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1476
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1477
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1480
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1483
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1484
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1485
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1487
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1488
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1489
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1490
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1491
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1495
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1496
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1498
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1499
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1500
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1501
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1502
affected. (Robert Collins)
1504
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1505
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1506
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1509
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1510
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1514
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1515
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1517
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1518
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1520
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1521
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1523
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1526
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1527
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1531
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1532
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1533
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1534
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1536
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1537
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1539
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1540
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1541
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1542
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1544
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1545
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1546
present. (Robert Collins)
1548
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1549
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1550
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1551
API. (Robert Collins)
1553
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1554
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1557
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1558
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1560
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1561
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1562
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1563
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1564
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1565
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1567
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1568
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1569
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1571
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1572
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1573
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1574
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1577
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1580
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1581
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1582
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1583
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1584
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1585
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1586
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1588
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1589
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1590
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1591
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1593
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1594
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1595
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1596
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1597
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1598
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1600
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1601
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1602
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1604
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1605
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1613
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1614
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1615
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1616
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1617
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1618
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1619
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1620
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1625
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1626
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1627
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1630
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1631
----------------------
1635
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1636
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1637
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1638
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1639
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1641
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1644
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1648
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1649
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1652
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1653
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1656
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1659
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1660
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1662
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1663
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1665
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1666
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1668
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1669
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1671
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1672
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1674
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1679
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1680
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1682
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1683
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1685
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1686
the repository (Robert Collins)
1688
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1689
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1690
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1691
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1692
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1694
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1695
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1697
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1698
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1699
(John Arbash Meinel)
1701
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1702
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1703
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1705
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1706
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1707
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1708
(John Arbash Meinel)
1710
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1711
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1714
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1715
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1717
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1720
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1722
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1724
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1725
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1727
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1728
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1731
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1732
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1733
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1734
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1736
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1737
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1738
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1740
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1741
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1742
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1744
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1745
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1747
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1748
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1749
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1750
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1751
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1752
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1755
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1756
(Alexander Belchenko)
1758
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1759
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1761
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1762
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1764
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1766
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1767
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1771
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1772
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1773
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1774
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1776
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1778
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1781
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1782
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1783
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1784
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1785
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1786
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1790
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1791
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1792
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1793
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1795
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1796
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1797
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1798
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1799
tests have been refactored too.
1802
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1803
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1804
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1808
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1809
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1810
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1812
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1813
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1814
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1815
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1816
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1817
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1818
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1820
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1821
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1822
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1823
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1824
(John Arbash Meinel)
1826
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1827
functionality for testing.
1829
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1831
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1832
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1834
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1836
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1839
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1840
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1842
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1843
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1844
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1846
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1849
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1850
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1852
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1853
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1854
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1855
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1857
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1858
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1860
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1861
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1862
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1864
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1867
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1868
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1869
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1870
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1871
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1872
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1874
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1875
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1876
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1877
many files. (Robert Collins)
1879
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1880
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1881
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1882
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1886
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1887
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1888
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1890
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1891
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1893
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1894
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1895
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1899
--------------------
1903
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1906
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1907
-----------------------
1911
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1912
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1914
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1915
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1916
(James Westby, #122656)
1918
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1919
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1921
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1922
authentication header.
1923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1925
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1927
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1928
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1930
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1932
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1935
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1936
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1939
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1940
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1941
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1943
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1944
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1946
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1949
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1950
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1952
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1954
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1958
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1959
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1960
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1961
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1962
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1963
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1965
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1966
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1967
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1969
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1972
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1973
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1975
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1976
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1978
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1979
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1981
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1982
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1983
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1984
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1985
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1987
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1988
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1990
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1991
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1992
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1994
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1995
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1997
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1999
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2000
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2002
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2003
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2006
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2009
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2010
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2012
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2013
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2015
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2016
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2018
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2020
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2021
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2023
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2028
* Testing cleanups -
2029
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2030
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2031
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2032
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2033
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2034
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2035
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2036
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2037
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2038
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2039
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2040
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2041
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2042
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2043
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2044
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2045
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2048
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2050
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2051
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2052
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2054
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2055
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2057
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2058
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2060
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2062
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2063
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2064
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2065
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2066
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2067
same location. (Robert Collins)
2071
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2073
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2075
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2077
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2080
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2083
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2084
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2085
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2087
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2089
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2090
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2091
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2093
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2094
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2096
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2097
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2098
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2100
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2101
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2102
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2104
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2105
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2106
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2108
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2109
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2112
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2113
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2115
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2116
(Alexander Belchenko)
2120
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2121
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2122
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2123
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2125
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2126
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2127
testing. (Robert Collins)
2129
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2130
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2132
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2133
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2134
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2135
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2136
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2137
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2138
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2140
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2141
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2142
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2143
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2145
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2146
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2148
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2149
avoid useless cloning.
2150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2154
--------------------
2158
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2159
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2161
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2162

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
2166
-----------------------
2168
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2170
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2171
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2172
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2173
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2174
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2175
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2176
and unlock() like so::
2178
work_tree.lock_read()
2180
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2185
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2186
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2188
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2189
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2190
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2192
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2193
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2194
too. (Robert Collins)
2198
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2199
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2202
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2203
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2205
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2206
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2208
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2209
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2210
understanding what changes have occurred
2211
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2213
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2214
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2215
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2217
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2218
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2219
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2220
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2222
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2227
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2228
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2229
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2230
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2231
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2233
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2234
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2235
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2237
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2238
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2240
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2244
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2245
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2247
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2248
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2250
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2251
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2253
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2254
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2256
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2257
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2259
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2260
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2261
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2264
--------------------
2268
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2269
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2270
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2271
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2272
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2274
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2275
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2276
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2278
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2279
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2283
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2284
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2285
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2287
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2288
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2289
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2290
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2292
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2293
-----------------------
2297
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2298
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2299
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2300
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2302
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2303
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2304
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2306
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2307
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2309
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2310
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2312
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2313
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2315
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2316
-----------------------
2318
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2320
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2321
it could be recovered again.
2322
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2323
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2324
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2326
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2328
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2329
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2333
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2334
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2336
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2337
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2338
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2339
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2341
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2342
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2344
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2345
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2346
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2348
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2349
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2350
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2352
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2353
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2354
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2356
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2357
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2360
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2363
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2364
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2365
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2366
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2368
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2371
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2372
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2373
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2376
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2377
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2379
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2380
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2382
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2383
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2384
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2385
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2388
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2389
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2391
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2392
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2394
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2395
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2396
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2398
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2399
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2400
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2402
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2403
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2404
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2406
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2407
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2408
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2409
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2411
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2412
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2413
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2414
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2416
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2417
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2418
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2419
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2420
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2421
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2422
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2423
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2429
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2430
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2432
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2433
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2434
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2435
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2436
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2438
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2439
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2441
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2442
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2444
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2445
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2447
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2448
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2450
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2451
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2452
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2455
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2456
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2457
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2458
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2459
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2462
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2463
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2464
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2466
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2467
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2470
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2471
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2472
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2475
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2476
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2477
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2478
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2479
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2481
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2482
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2483
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2484
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2486
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2487
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2489
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2490
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2491
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2492
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2493
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2494
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2496
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2497
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2499
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2500
help. (Robert Collins)
2502
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2503
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2505
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2506
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2507
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2508
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2509
(John Arbash Meinel)
2511
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2512
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2513
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2514
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2515
useful. (Robert Collins)
2517
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2522
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2523
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2525
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2526
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2528
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2529
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2530
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2532
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2535
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2536
the file, and does it faster.
2537
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2539
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2540
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2541
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2543
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2544
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2545
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2546
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2548
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2549
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2550
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2551
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2553
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2554
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2556
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2557
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2558
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2559
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2562
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2564
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2565
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2567
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2568
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2570
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2571
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2572
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2573
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2577
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2582
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2583
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2584
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2586
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2587
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2589
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2590
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2591
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2592
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2593
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2594
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2595
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2596
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2598
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2599
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2600
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2602
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2603
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2604
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2605
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2606
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2608
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2610
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2611
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2612
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2614
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2615
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2623
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2626
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2627
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2630
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2631
-----------------------
2635
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2636
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2641
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2642
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2643
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2644
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2645
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2646
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2647
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2648
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2653
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2654
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2655
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2657
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2658
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2661
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2662
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2663
(John Arbash Meinel)
2665
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2666
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2667
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2668
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2669
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2673
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2676
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2677
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2679
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2680
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2682
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2683
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2684
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2686
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2687
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2689
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2690
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2691
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2692
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2693
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2695
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2696
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2697
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2699
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2702
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2703
-----------------------
2705
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2707
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2708
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2709
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2713
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2714
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2716
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2717
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2719
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2721
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2722
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2724
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2725
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2729
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2734
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2735
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2736
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2737
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2739
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2740
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2742
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2743
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2745
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2748
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2749
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2752
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2753
-----------------------
2757
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2758
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2759
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2760
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2761
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2762
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2764
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2765
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2766
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2767
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2768
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2769
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2771
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2773
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2774
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2775
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2776
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2777
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2778
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2779
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2780
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2784
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2785
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2787
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2788
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2789
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2790
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2792
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2793
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2794
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2795
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2796
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2798
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2801
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2804
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2807
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2808
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2811
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2814
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2815
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2817
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2818
directory. (Martin Pool)
2820
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2821
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2822
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2823
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2825
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2826
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2827
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2828
in docs/configuration.txt.
2830
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2831
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2834
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2835
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2836
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2837
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2838
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2839
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2841
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2842
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2844
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2845
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2847
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2852
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2853
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2854
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2855
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2856
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2857
(John Arbash Meinel)
2859
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2860
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2863
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2864
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2865
(John Arbash Meinel)
2867
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2868
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2869
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2870
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2871
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2872
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2874
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2875
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2876
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2878
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2879
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2880
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2881
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2883
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2885
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2886
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2887
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2888
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2890
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2891
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2892
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2893
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2895
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2896
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2897
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2899
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2900
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2901
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2903
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2904
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2905
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2906
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2908
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2909
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2910
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2912
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2913
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2914
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2916
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2917
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2918
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2919
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2920
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2921
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2922
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2923
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2924
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2925
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2926
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2930
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2931
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2932
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2934
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2937
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2938
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2939
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2940
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2942
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2943
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2946
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2947
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2949
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2951
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2952
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2953
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2955
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2956
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2958
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2959
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2961
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2964
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2965
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2967
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2969
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2970
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2974
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2975
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2979
--------------------
2983
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2987
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2988
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2989
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2991
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2992
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2993
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2996
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2997
-----------------------
3001
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3002
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3003
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3004
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3006
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3009
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3010
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3011
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3013
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3014
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3016
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3019
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3020
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3021
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3022
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3023
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3024
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3026
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3027
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3028
should enable you to do::
3030
[/home/user/project]
3031
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3032
push_location:policy = appendpath
3034
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3035
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3038
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3039
for each file. For example::
3041
$ bzr status --short
3047
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3048
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3050
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3052
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3053
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3055
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3059
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3060
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3061
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3062
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3064
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3065
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3066
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3068
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3070
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3071
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3072
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3073
(Alexander Belchenko)
3075
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3078
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3079
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3081
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3085
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3086
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3088
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3089
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3090
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3091
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3092
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3094
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3095
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3097
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3098
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3100
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3102
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3104
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3105
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3106
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3107
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3108
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3110
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3111
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3112
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3113
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3115
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3116
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3118
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3119
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3121
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3122
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3124
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3125
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
3133
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3134
-----------------------
3138
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3140
(Daniel Silverstone)
3142
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3143
operations are substantially faster.
3144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3146
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3147
tree from some other url. For example:
3148
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3149
(Daniel Silverstone)
3151
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3152
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3153
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3154
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3156
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3159
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3160
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3161
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3162
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3163
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3164
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3168
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3169
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3172
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3173
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3174
(John Arbash Meinel)
3176
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3177
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3178
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3179
(John Arbash Meinel)
3181
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3182
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3184
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3185
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3187
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3188
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3193
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3194
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3195
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3197
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3198
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3199
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3200
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3202
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3204
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3205
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3207
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3208
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3209
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3212
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3213
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3214
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3216
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3217
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3218
them as full references rather than integers.
3219
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3221
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3222
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3224
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3226
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3227
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3229
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3230
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3232
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3233
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3234
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3235
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3237
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3238
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3239
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3241
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3242
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3244
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3245
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3246
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3247
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3248
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3252
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3253
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3256
--------------------
3260
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3261
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3262
(John Arbash Meinel)
3264
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3265
-----------------------
3269
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3270
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3271
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3272
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3274
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3275
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3277
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3279
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3280
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3281
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3282
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3284
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3285
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3286
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3287
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3288
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3290
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3292
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3293
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3297
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3298
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3299
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3301
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3302
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3303
(John Arbash Meinel)
3305
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3306
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3307
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3309
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3310
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3313
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3314
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3315
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3317
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3318
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3319
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3320
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3321
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3322
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3324
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3325
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3326
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3329
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3330
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3334
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3335
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3336
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3339
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3340
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3342
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3343
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3344
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3346
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3347
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3349
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3350
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3351
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3352
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3354
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3355
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3357
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3358
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3359
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3361
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3362
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3364
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3366
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3367
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3372
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3373
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3374
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3375
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3377
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3378
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3379
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3382
--------------------
3384
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3386
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3387
-----------------------
3391
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3393
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3396
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3397
-----------------------
3401
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3402
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3403
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3404
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3405
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3406
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3407
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3409
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3410
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3411
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3413
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3415
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3416
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3418
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3419
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3420
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3423
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3424
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3425
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3426
(John Arbash Meinel)
3428
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3429
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3430
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3431
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3434
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3435
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3436
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3437
(John Arbash Meinel)
3441
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3442
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3444
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3446
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3447
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3448
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3450
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3451
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3453
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3454
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3456
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3457
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3459
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3460
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3462
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3464
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3465
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3467
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3468
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3470
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3471
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3473
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3474
(John Arbash Meinel)
3476
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3477
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3478
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3480
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3481
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3483
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3484
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3485
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3486
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3488
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3489
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3490
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3492
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3493
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3497
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3501
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3502
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3503
(John Arbash Meinel)
3505
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3506
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3507
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3508
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3510
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3513
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3514
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3515
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3517
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3518
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3520
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3521
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3522
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3524
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3525
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3526
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3527
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3528
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3529
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3530
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3531
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3532
caller to repeat their request.
3533
(John Arbash Meinel)
3535
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3536
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3538
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3539
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3541
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3542
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3543
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3544
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3545
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3546
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3547
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3549
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3550
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3551
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3552
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3553
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3554
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3555
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3556
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3559
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3560
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3561
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3563
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3564
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3566
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3567
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3569
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3570
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3574
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3575
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3577
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3578
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3579
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3581
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3582
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3583
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3586
--------------------
3589
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3590
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3592
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3593
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3594
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3595
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3596
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3598
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3599
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3600
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3602
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3603
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3605
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3606
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3607
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3611
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3613
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3614
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3615
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3617
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3619
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3621
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3622
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3623
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3624
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3626
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3627
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3628
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3629
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3630
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3632
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3633
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3635
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3636
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3638
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3639
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3641
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3642
in handling of revision properties.
3643
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3645
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3646
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3650
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3651
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3652
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3653
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3654
(John Arbash Meinel)
3656
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3657
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3658
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3660
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3661
---------------------
3665
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3666
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3667
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3668
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3669
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3670
a more conservative list than the old default.
3671
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3672
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3673
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3674
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3676
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3677
to more locations than just branch locations.
3682
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3683
revno:N:branch. For example,
3684
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3685
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3687
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3688
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3689
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3690
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3691
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3692
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3693
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3694
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3697
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3698
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3699
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3702
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3703
(Alexander Belchenko)
3705
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3707
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3710
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3711
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3712
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3713
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3714
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3715
(John Arbash Meinel)
3717
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3718
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3719
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3720
grained analysis of performance.
3721
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3723
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3724
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3726
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3727
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3728
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3729
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3730
file. (Robert Collins).
3732
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3733
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3734
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3736
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3737
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3740
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3741
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3743
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3744
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3745
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3746
the same way you would apply another branch.
3747
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3749
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3750
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3752
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3755
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3758
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3759
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3760
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3762
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3763
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3764
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3766
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3767
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3769
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3770
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3771
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3772
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3773
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3775
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3776
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3778
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3779
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3780
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3781
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3782
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3783
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3784
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3785
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3787
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3788
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3789
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3793
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3795
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3797
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3798
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3800
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3801
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3803
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3804
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3806
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3808
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3809
(John Arbash Meinel)
3811
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3812
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3814
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3815
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3818
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3819
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3821
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3822
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3824
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3825
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3826
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3827
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3829
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3830
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3832
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3834
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3835
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3837
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3839
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3841
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3842
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3844
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3845
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3847
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3848
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3849
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3851
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3852
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3853
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3855
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3856
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3858
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3859
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3861
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3862
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3864
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3865
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3867
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3868
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3870
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3871
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3872
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3874
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3876
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3877
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3881
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3882
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3883
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3885
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3886
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3888
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3889
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3890
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3892
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3893
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3895
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3896
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3899
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3900
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3901
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3903
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3904
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3905
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3907
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3908
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3909
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3911
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3912
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3913
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3915
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3916
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3917
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3919
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3920
instead. (Robert Collins)
3922
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3924
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3925
---------------------
3929
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3931
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3932
---------------------
3936
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3937
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3939
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3940
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3942
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3943
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3944
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3948
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3950
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3951
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3953
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3957
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3958
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3959
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3960
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3964
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3965
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3966
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3970
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3971
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3972
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3976
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3977
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3982
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3984
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3985
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3986
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3987
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3988
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3989
will keep the same format.
3991
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3992
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3993
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3994
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3995
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3997
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3998
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3999
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4000
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4001
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4002
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4003
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4005
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4006
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4007
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4008
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4009
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4011
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4012
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4013
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4019
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4020
convention. Paths now take the form::
4022
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4024
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4026
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4027
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4029
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4030
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4031
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4033
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4034
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4035
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4036
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4038
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4039
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4040
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4042
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4044
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4046
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4047
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4050
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4051
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4054
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4056
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4057
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4058
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4061
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4063
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4065
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4068
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4069
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4071
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4072
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4075
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4076
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4079
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4081
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4083
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4084
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4086
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4087
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4088
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4089
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4090
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4091
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4093
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4095
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4096
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4099
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4100
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4102
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4103
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4105
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4107
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4108
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4109
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4110
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4111
specification by Martin Pool.
4112
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4114
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4117
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4118
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4120
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4121
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4122
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4124
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4126
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4127
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4132
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4133
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4135
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4137
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4139
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4142
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4143
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4144
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4145
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4149
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4150
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4151
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4152
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4154
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4155
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4156
tried. (Martin Pool)
4158
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4161
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4163
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4164
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4165
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4167
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4168
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4170
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4171
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4172
paths. (Robert Collins)
4174
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4175
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4176
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4178
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4179
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4180
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4182
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4183
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4184
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4186
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4189
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4192
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4194
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4196
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4197
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4198
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4201
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4202
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4204
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4205
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4206
check. (Robert Collins)
4208
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4209
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4213
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4214
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4216
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4217
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4218
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4219
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4221
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4222
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4223
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4224
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4225
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4227
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4228
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4229
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4231
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4233
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4234
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4241
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4242
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4244
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4245
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4246
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4249
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4250
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4252
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4253
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4254
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4255
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4256
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4258
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4259
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4260
used. (Robert Collins)
4262
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4263
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4266
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4267
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4268
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4270
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4273
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4274
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4278
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4279
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4281
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4283
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4285
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4286
tree. (Robert Collins)
4288
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4289
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4290
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4293
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4296
* Tweaks to short log printing
4298
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4301
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4302
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4304
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4305
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4307
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4308
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4310
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4311
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4312
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4314
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4315
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4317
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4318
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4321
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4322
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4324
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4325
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4327
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4328
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4330
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4333
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4334
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4336
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4337
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4339
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4340
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4341
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4345
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4347
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4349
* Error when run with -OO
4351
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4354
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4356
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4358
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4359
ignored by diff and status
4361
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4362
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4364
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4366
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4368
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4369
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4371
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4372
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4374
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4377
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4378
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4380
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4382
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4383
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4385
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4388
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4389
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4391
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4395
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4396
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4398
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4400
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4402
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4404
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4405
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4406
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4408
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4410
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4411
(John Arbash Meinel)
4413
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4415
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4416
If adding a new test script please add that to
4417
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4419
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4420
imported. (Martin Pool)
4422
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4423
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4424
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4425
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4426
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4429
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4430
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4431
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4433
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4434
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4435
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4437
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4438
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4439
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4440
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4441
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4444
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4445
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4450
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4451
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4453
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4454
function. (Robert Collins)
4456
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4457
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4458
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4460
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4461
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4464
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4465
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4466
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4467
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4468
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4469
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4470
version. (Robert Collins)
4472
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4473
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4475
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4476
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4477
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4478
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4479
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4480
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4482
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4485
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4495
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4497
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4499
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4502
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4503
query method. (Robert Collins)
4505
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4508
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4511
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4514
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4515
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4516
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4517
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4519
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4520
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4521
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4522
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4524
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4525
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4532
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4535
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4539
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4540
a separator, not ':'.
4543
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4544
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4545
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4547
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4548
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4551
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4552
has been added that suppresses all output.
4554
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4557
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4558
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4560
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4561
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4563
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4564
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4566
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4567
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4568
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4569
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4571
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4573
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4574
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4576
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4577
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4579
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4580
output directory, if one was supplied.
4582
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4583
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4584
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4585
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4587
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4589
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4590
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4592
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4593
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4594
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4596
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4597
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4599
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4602
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4604
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4608
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4609
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4610
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4612
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4613
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4614
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4616
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4617
is given. (Martin Pool)
4619
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4620
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4621
file. (Robert Collins)
4623
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4628
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4629
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4630
representation. (Martin Pool).
4632
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4633
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4634
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4636
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4639
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4640
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4643
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4644
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4645
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4646
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4647
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4649
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4650
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4651
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4652
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4653
python path. (Robert Collins)
4655
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4656
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4657
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4658
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4660
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4661
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4663
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4664
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4667
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4668
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4669
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4671
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4672
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4673
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4675
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4676
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4678
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4679
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4680
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4683
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4684
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4685
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4686
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4689
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4692
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4693
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4696
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4697
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4698
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4700
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4701
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4702
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4704
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4705
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4706
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4708
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4709
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4711
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4712
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4713
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4714
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4715
caller. (Robert Collins)
4717
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4718
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4721
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4722
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4725
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4727
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4728
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4732
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4733
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4735
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4736
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4739
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4740
--------------------
4744
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4745
allow directories to be listed.
4747
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4748
upgrading branch format.
4752
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4760
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4761
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4762
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4763
high-latency connections.
4767
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4770
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4771
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4773
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4774
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4775
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4776
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4778
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4779
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4781
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4782
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4784
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4785
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4786
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4788
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4789
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4790
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4793
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4794
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4796
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4797
different partial views of history.
4799
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4800
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4804
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4805
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4806
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4808
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4809
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4812
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4813
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4815
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4818
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4819
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4821
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4822
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4823
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4824
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4826
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4828
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4829
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4832
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4833
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4835
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4836
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4837
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4842
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4843
for your viewing pleasure.
4845
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4846
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4848
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4849
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4850
handling of such circumstances.
4852
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4853
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4854
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4856
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4858
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4859
we call them revisions not patches.
4861
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4862
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4864
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4865
giving the revision *of that file*.
4867
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4868
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4869
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4873
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4874
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4876
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4877
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4880
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4881
--------------------
4885
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4887
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4890
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4892
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4894
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4895
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4899
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4900
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4902
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4903
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4904
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4905
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4908
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4909
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4913
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4915
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4916
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4919
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4920
--------------------
4924
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4925
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4926
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4927
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4930
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4933
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4934
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4935
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4936
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4937
for the operating system is still tried.
4939
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4940
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4941
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4946
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4950
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4952
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4955
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4961
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4963
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4966
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4967
--------------------
4971
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4972
help with intelligent shell completion.
4974
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4979
* Much better merge support.
4981
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4982
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4988
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4989
mention revisions that are not present.
4991
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4993
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4995
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4996
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5001
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5003
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5004
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5010
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5011
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5016
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5017
--------------------
5021
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5022
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5024
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5026
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5027
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5029
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5032
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5034
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5037
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5038
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5040
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5041
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5042
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5047
* Faster working tree operations.
5052
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5053
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5054
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5055
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5057
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5058
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5059
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5060
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5061
standard plugins directory.
5063
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5064
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5065
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5066
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5068
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5069
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5071
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5074
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5075
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5076
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5078
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5079
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5081
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5082
line options must come before the command name because they
5083
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5084
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5087
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5089
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5090
is available with ``--short``.
5095
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5098
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5099
---------------------
5103
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5104
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5106
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5107
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5108
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5109
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5111
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5112
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5113
with the ``--forward`` option.
5115
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5116
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5122
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5123
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5125
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5127
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5128
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5130
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5132
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5133
either read or write mode.
5135
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5137
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5140
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5142
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5143
suggested by LarstiQ.
5145
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5146
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5148
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5151
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5152
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5154
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5155
haven't changed since the previous time.
5157
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5158
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5160
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5162
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5164
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5165
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5167
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5168
options through to an external GNU diff.
5170
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5173
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5179
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5180
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5182
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5188
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5189
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5192
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5193
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5195
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5196
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5198
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5199
under a different version.
5201
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5206
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5208
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5209
Scott James Remnant.
5211
* Better help messages for many commands.
5213
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5214
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5216
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5217
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5219
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5221
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5223
* New AtomicFile class.
5225
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5230
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5231
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5235
---------------------
5239
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5240
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5242
* More default ignore patterns.
5244
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5245
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5247
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5249
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5252
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5257
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5258
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5259
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5260
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5261
there are DNS problems.
5263
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5268
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5270
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5272
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5273
trailing newlines properly.
5278
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5281
* More tests in test.sh.
5283
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5284
directory and delete it when done.
5286
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5291
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5294
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5298

5316
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5320
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5321
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5326
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5327
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5332
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5361
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5364

5365
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5367
* Performance improvements.
5369
* New global --profile option.
5371
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5372
the root directory only.
5375
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26

5385
committing to stores.
5387
